Hi
I want to Change material type & Industry sector.
Changing the material type for a material is possible as it has been well explained by other friends
It is because a semifinished goods one material type can become a finished goods another material type
Changing the industry sector is not possible at all
Once industry sector is assigned to a material you cant change it at all

How can we change the valuation type for a material created.

How can we change the valuation type for a material created.
Note : All open orders are closed for this material.3
Please guide

Hi,
You can change valuation class, or you can set valuation category for your material master. If valuation category is set you can extend your material master and in this way creating records for different valuation types.
Please try to set the desired changes in your mmr (MM02) > save > SAP will give you error message > push 'Display error' button and you will see what conditions must be eliminated to carry out the change.
- you are not allowed to have open transactional data
- no stock in the current and previous period (using proper posting date in MB1A + 201 you can reduce your stock level to 0, and after that you can set it back by MB1A + 202)
- in case of valuation category setting batch archiving may be necessary

Advantage of Alternative UOM as supposed to changing the UOM of material

Hi Friends,
What are the advantages of using alternative unit of measure as supposed to changing the UOM of material? &
what are the necessary activities in SAP if we change the unit of measure of the material?
Any pointers.
Regards
Ashu
Edited by: ashutosh p on Jan 14, 2010 6:29 AM

When you want to handle the material quantity in other units other than it's Base Unit, then alternate unit should be maintained.
Alternate unit is decided on the basis of area of it's usage.
If A material is having base unit PC and you want to sale it in KG then mainain the Sale Unit as KG by providing the conversion between PC and KG.
In the same way Order unit is the unit when you want to procure the material in the unit other than Base unit.
For maintaining alternate unit, it's corresponding conversion with Base unit is necessary to maintain.
You can change the base unit of material unless and untill no transactions are done on that material.

How can we change the message type?

Hello all
We use SRM server 5.5 with classic scenario.
When we create shopping cart, we implemented the Change Badi to assign the purchasing group from R/3 material master.
We implemented the following logic.
If material master in R/3 has no purch. Group, SRM also has no purch. Group. So SRM display the error message You should select the purch. group to determine the purchasing group in basic view.
But, We have the standard error message, when we choose the material code this material code has no purch. Group in R/3 No purchasing groups were found.
Message number is BBP_ATTR050.
Because of this message, we can not progress the process to create shopping cart.
Can we change the message type from Error to Warning Message?
Or, Can we delete this message?
Thank you,
Best regards,
SH

Yes. You are right.
When user choose the material code, there is no purch. group in 1st Step, but
we want to choose the purch. group in 2nd Step on basic view.
But we have the error message at 1st step. so we can not progress to 2nd Step.
If we use dummy purch. group, user could make the human mistake.
So our customer want to remove purch. group and choose the purchasing group by user.
But i'm not sure if we remove this error message, we got solve this problem..
Pls give me an idea..

Change the Pricing Type during billing

We are facing an issue with the rebate conditions which needs to be resolved asap..
User has created a credit memo request in VA01.
Credit memo request is created for the change in the Price.
(Note: Order reason for such specific credit memo requests is ZXX (e.g.))
Due to price change rebate accruals value is also reduced in proportion to the reduced price.
The rebate accruals should not be reduced in this case, since there is no material return and rebate condition is quantity based.
As a solution to this u2013
We created a new routine AAA and assigned to the rebate condition types in Pricing procedure.
This routine will function when order reason entered in the Credit memo request is ZXX.
Therefore all the rebate condition types (assigned with routine AAA in Pricing) will get deactivated in Order Conditions tab.
This is working correctly in creating credit memo (VA01).
The issue is u2013
When the credit memo is created in VF01, these rebate condition types are again activated and accruals are posted.
This should not happen. Pricing from the CM request (VA01) should get copied in Credit memo (VF01) completely. The same issue
with VF02..
Please suggest a user exit in which the pricing type can be changed during billing..Tried coding in the form
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP in RV60AFZZ by changing the Pricing Type KNPRS..But didnt work out..
Is there any way to meet this requirement. I have checked the user exit RV61AFZA having two forms:
FORM USEREXIT_PRICING_RULE &
FORM USEREXIT_PRICING_COPY.
I would be interested to know how this can be coded to meet the requirement. Coding displayed will be of great help to
implement.
Any pointers / solutions to the issue will be highly appreciated..

Hello Sean
1) Firstly I don't think the Credit Memo for this case or any case in your situation should be relevant to rebate. That's becasue your rebate is tied to quantity. So you should deactivate rebate processing for that Billing Doc type. T Code OVB0. That should close the issue.
2) Pricing type 'D' in copy control from sales to Billing documents should ensure that Pricing from the CM request (VA01) gets copied in Credit memo (VF01) completely. Why do you need user exits for that? T code VTFA.
3) If you need to change pricing type selectively for some conditions, then you should configure the condition type with condition category X,Y or Z ( Customer Reserve) and then use USEREXIT_PRICING_RULE (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZA to ensure that those conditions are copied (or otherwise) from source. But I don't think you need this.

Material type & material group

Dear All,
what is the different between material type & material group

Hi,
Material type:
Materials with the same basic attributes are grouped together and assigned to a material type. This allows you to manage different materials in a uniform manner in accordance with your company's requirements
The material type identifies the characteristics of a material that are important with regard to Accounting and Inventory Management. A material is assigned a type when you create the material master record.
"Raw materials" and "finished products" are examples of material types. In the standard MM module, the material type for the former (ROH) denotes an externally procured (bought-in) material, whereas the material type for the latter (FERT) indicates that the relevant material is produced in-house.
Material type you choose determines:
u2022     Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
u2022     Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
u2022     The number range from which the material number is taken
u2022     Which screens appear and in what sequence
u2022     Which departmental data you may enter
u2022     What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
u2022     Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
u2022     Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
Material Group:
    Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
    You can use material groups to:
u2022     Restrict the scope of analyses
u2022     Search specifically for material master records via search helps
It can be assigned in material master in Basic Data1 (Client level) and Purchasing (Pur org level) views.
Regards.

How do i change the media type on a digital booklet when they option bar is greyed out?

I downloaded an album a couple days ago which came with a digital booklet. I am trying to put it on my phone but need to change the media type to book to be able to do this. whenever I go to the get info tab, the options tab is completely greyed out and wont let me do anything to it. I have tried selecting read only on the file and it did not work. I have windows 8. If there's is any different way of getting this on my phone, anything would be great!

The item must not be read only if you want to change it.
In the new Get Info dialog the Media Kind is in a light grey. Next to that will be the word Music. Hover over it and you should see that it is part of a drop down list control, click and select Book.

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

How to change the Encoding type of a XML

Hi all,
I'm having a XML(generated at run time) with UTF-8 Encoding. If I'm going to parse it, getting an error saying "*Document root element is missing*".
If I change the encoding to ANSI, it parses without error.
How can I change the encoding type of a documnet ?
Any comment welcome.
Kaushalya

There's no such thing as the "encoding of a String". If you produced a String from a sequence of bytes using the wrong encoding, you may not be able to repair that problem by hacking about in your code. You're better off to produce the String using the correct encoding in the first place. Read this for more information about XML and encodings as you appear to be misunderstanding basic concepts:

How to change the paper type in printer settings?

Does anyone know how to change the paper type in printer settings? I'm trying to have the ability to change it to photo paper from Photoshop Elements. I can't find the option in printer settings or through Elements. I'm assuming I could save an additional printer setting for photo printing, but can't find how to even select a different paper type.
thanks!

It would help to know which OS you are running as the answer will be different if it's Lion or the previous OS's. You are not running iOS 5.0.1 on your MacBook Pro so provide the correct information.

Change the Data Type of a Standard Required Field

Hello Experts,
Need to know if is it possible to change the data type of a standard field. The field is marked as a required field.
For example: If a standard field is an Object Picker and I would like to change it to a string field. Is it possible? How can I do it?!
Many thanks,
Igor Nakamura

Hi Igor,
Since you cannot hide a required field, what you can do is move the standard required field to someplace less noticable (like the bottom of the page) and then use a validation script to set it to some benign value.
