Change sequence of organisational levels in Material Master

Hi,
Can we change the sequence or remove any Organisational element such as Plant, Storage Location, Sales Organization, Division etc. before creating Material Master.(Organistional level dialog box)
Please suggest if it is possible.
Regards,
Goraksh.

Hello
Go to MM01 and to to the 'Defaults' tab and select the 'organizational levels'.
Give the default values and tick the ' organizational levels only on request'.
Then the organizational levels will be shown only if u click organizational levels in the view selection box.
Hope this helps.

Hello Rahul ,
Please see the following link for more information regarding the Revision Level in Material Master.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ff/5160a249d811d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
A revision level identifies a specific change status of a material with reference to a change number. It is used, for example, to identify changes affecting other areas such as Production.
You generally assign a revision level when processing a material BOM (bill of material created with reference to a material master record). However, you can also assign a revision level when processing a material master record.
You can display a revision level assigned to a material by choosing Display revision level on a departmental data screen in a material master record.
I hope this information has been helpful for you.

How to change the base UoM in the material master?

Hi,
I want to change the base UoM in the material master for a particular material but I can't change irt with MM02 as system says it has open routings for this material.
I have set the deletion flag on the routings but still system shows open routings while changing UoM.
Is there any standard SAP program by which UoM can be changed if open POs, stock etc. are present in the system?
Thanks,
Input

HI
It is possible to change the Base unit of measure in the following cases:
1) If there are no stocks of the material in the syatem
2)If there are no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
3)If a purchase order or purchase order item is not being created or changed.
Procedure for changing is:
Access the material master record in Change mode.
Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one on any departmental data screen.
Save the change.
Thanking you.

Sequence of maintaining views in material master

Hi
Is it possible to maintain sequence of maintaining different views in material master.
For example: Basic Data 1 should be maintained first & then Basic Data 2 and then General Plant Data/Storage 1 and then General Plant Data/Storage 2 and so on.
If the user misses the sequence, it should give a error message.

Changing the Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Dear Experts,
Material DF21DENG (fert) was created with KGS (kilogram per second) as its unit of measurement. A material BOM was now created for DF21DENG.
I intend to change the unit of DF21DENG from KGS to KG (kilogram). On doing this in the Basic data view of DF21DENG, i get the message " change is not possible because a BOM exists for this material".
In the BOM of DF21DENG, I set the deletion flag on & tried to change the unit in the Material master again but got the same massage.
Please how can I effect this change?

This response was helpful but was solved the problem was that; from the Edit, i selected Delete from the drop down & then the alternative BOM was deleted.

Change Excise Duty Group on the Material Master

What are the steps to change the excise duty group in the Material Master (MARC- OITAXGRP)? I am getting a message 'Excise duty tax group cannot be changed due to posted stock'.
We realised some of materials have been setup with incorrect excise duty group at a few plants and there have been a lot material movements posted (101s, 301s). But is the best way to fix this?
Do we have to reverse all the documents or is it good if we zero the inventory and then it will allow us to change?
Is a direct table update of the table an option?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance
Srini

you can't change the excise duty group if there is a stock for the material.
there is a steps that you need to follow if you inisist to change:
- zerorize the stock in the current period (all stock types)
- zerorise the stock in previous period (all stock types)
- then only you can change the excise duty group.
these steps can only be carried out when the two posting period are still open, so normally you should do it at month end.

Batch Material level and Material Master

Hello,
We have defined the batch level on level "Material" because we want the batchnumber to be unique for a material - independent of the plant it is used in.
I would like to know if with this setting of the config, the material X marked with the flag "Batch Managed" in its master record, should be managed with batches in all Plants or is it posbilbe to exclude some plants (for instance plants belonging to other country) from managing the material X in batches?
Thanks for any reply,
Aart.

you can only exclude plants from managing batches for a common material if your batch level is plant level.
with material level, all plants have to manage a common material with batches.

Change the profit center in the material master

dear All,
we need to change the profit center but the system is not letting because the is stock.
i was thinking if we issue this stock on any cost center, change the profit center and then cancel the issuing material document ...
what do you think ,,,, would this effect the accounting badly ?? if so,, please recommend other ways

tej yadav wrote:
Hi, The only solution to change the "PROFIT CENTER" for you will be to maintain message MM335 in OMT4 as a warning, then change the Profit center & again change it to error.
Are you really thinking this is the right approach?
ever thought about how the posting are made in the other modules then? We dont live on an MM island, so a solution has to cover the requirements of the connected modules as well.
if you had received stock to a material with profit center A, then value is posted to profit center A.
if you change the profit center in material master to B while you have stock, the value of earlier receipts will not move from profit center A to B, they stay at A.
The next goods issue for this material is made against the profit center B.
this results in having a postive value at profit center A (which will never go away) and having a negative value at profit center B (because you had never received to profit center B what you just issued)
Because of this you should not change the message settings.

you cannot issue anything in the prior period if everything is already issued in the current period.
One should obtain the quantityof previous period in material master accounting view.
Finally you have to have zero stock in current and previous period before changing profit center.
How you approach this is based on the fact if the current period stock is bigger or smaller than the previous period stock.
if current period stock is bigger, then issue previous period stock with previous peiod date, and issue remaining stock in current period.
if current period stock is smaller than previous period stock, then you have to write on the delta in the current period, and subsequent issue the total stock in the previous period.

Your approach is right. when we had this issue we solved through created dummy material and issue it to dummy material, change the profit center and receive it back..
>
> Both options dont affect the accounting.
Goods issue to cost center or goods movement 309 to a dummy material will both affect accounting and create accounting documents.
of course, if everything works well then you will get accounting documents with opposite value after you have changed the profit center and you write on the quantity again.

What are the views/fields that we can't change by Mass maintenance of MMR(material master record)?

Hello friends,
I would like to know the fields/views that we can not change by using mass maintenance of MMR if there are open PO for that particular material in concern. Likewise there was a question in SAP certification exam having options: "base unit of measure", "material type" and so on....

in general you can change any field that can be changed in MM02. if the field is grayed then you cannot. e.g. if you make use a MRP profile. and in this profile the maintenance of those fields is disabled then you cannot do it MM17 either.

Changing Base Unit Of Measure in Material Master

Dear All,
We need to change the base unit of measure of certain materials who have been assigned inspection plan. We have deleted the material from Inspection Plan and later even the plan. But still the system not allowing to change the BASE UNIT OF MEASURE. The error thrown by the system is : Material is assigned to inspection Plan.
Please guide in this regard as changing the material for us will be a very cumbersome act.
Regards

Hi Rohan,
Please check 'display errors' in MM02 when you are trying to change the BUoM. It will say what prevents you from doing that.

Hi Satyajit,
Please look at OSS Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
Since Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
We may have same material in different IMs with different plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs. SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
I hope this will help you .

Changing Batch Management Level from Material to Plant

Hi all,
We are investigating changing our batch management level from material to plant to meet business requirements.
SAP has pointed us to a note with a program to reset the batch level, as well as highlighting some things to look out for.
I've conducted the change in a playpen system and so far it looks relatively straightforward, with complexities arising only when characteristics exist, or when a batch exists in multiple plants.
Seems that batch master data is moved from MCH1 to MCHA, including the object link number to classification. Unfortunately it seems a limitation of the conversion is that the batch master data is copied to ONE plant only in MCHA, no doubt due to the fact the object number link to classification must be unique.
My question is this: has anyone performed this change before, and if so can you offer me any advice on what to look out for, or potential problems that arose after the change?
Any help or comments are appreciated.
Mark.

hi..
first of all try this simple one...
You will have to delete all the materials, remove stock and then switch the batch management flag.
Or
To convert the batch from plant level to material there is Conversion Program defind by the SAP...
1. For all releases lower than Release 4.5B, implement the corrections and the modification in the report RM07CHDX as described in the correction instructions.
2. Create the report ZCHTCUCH, which is specified in the attachment.
3. Run this report in the clients for which you want to reset batch level to plant level.
4. Call transaction OMCT.
5. Check whether the batch level for "Batch unique at plant level" is set.
6. Implement Notes 821891, 944278, 950540 and 1091613 if you have not already done so (or you have not imported the corresponding Support Package).
7. Execute the function "Batch Level -> Conversion".
8. Define a plant for a plant view that may be missing.
9. Always execute the report in the test mode first. Analyze the error log.
10. If no errors occur, you can execute the report in production mode.
11. If you are working with batch long texts, first execute the report ZM07CHDX_TEXT in test mode.
try this out..hope is works,,
Thanks..
