Changes in Material Master: Track by user

Hi All
I have an urgent issue...I want to track the changes done by a user in the material master. Is there any standard way of doing it. I want to know what the old values were also for the fields changed by the user.
Tom

Hello,
You can use MM04 to get a drill report showing the user name,date, time stamp. Once you dril down into this, you will get the details of change.
Thanks,

Changes in Material Master leading to issues in MRP

Hi,
For a particular material a user changed a lot of material master data (MRP1 and MRP2 view) within a couple of hours.
As a result MRP is not working as we would expect:
- some orders have no quantity in the "Available quantity" column in MD04 and as a result do not trigger any PO (Received/Required quantity = -1, but Av qty = blank)
- whenever a shipment is foreseen it is consumed/reserved by/for the order which requested delivery date is closest after that shipment date
These are the changes made to the master data in November 2009:
Planning Strategy Group: from Make-To-Stock Production to No Planning to Strategy Group for Spares & Consumables to No Planning to Strategy Group for Spares & Consumables
MRP Group: from Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt to General to External Procurement to Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt to General to Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt
Availabilty Check: from Indiv. Req. to Indiv. Req w/o PO. to Indiv. Req.
Unplanned Consumption in period: from blank to 11.2009
Fwd Consumption Period: from 0 to 999 to 0
Consumption Mode: from blank to Forward Consumption Only to blank
Unchanged MRP material master data:
Bwd Consumption Period: 0
MRP type: MRP
Planning Time Fence: 1
Lot size: WB (weekly lot size)
Procurement type: External Procurement
Backflush: always backflush
What should we do to have MRP work correctly again for this material?

Not able to transfer changes in material master (periodic)

Hi Friends,
Got an issue here. I am not able to transfer the changes I made in material master. I want this as periodic, Made the specific setting in CFC9. And for your information 'Activate ALE Change Pointers Generally' and for massege type are activated.
But when I execute CFP1 I got massege: 'No appropriate master data changes: Transfer has not happen'.
I made changes in material master (global level),..like gross weight changed. Material is in active IM, no duplication.
Any help Please? We are on SCM 7.0.
Thanks,
Satyajit

OK, Guys I think I need to raise an OOS... It was for SCM 7.0, but was basic config....thts why I edited the thread so many times expecting some responce.
Edited by: Satyajit Patra on Mar 22, 2010 7:41 AM

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 .

PuP price not changed in Material master

Hello All experts
I have one question about the material ledger related transaciton, I have a Material with 2+V (price deter. and price control) setting in Material master data in Accounting 1 TAB. And material ledger is active for this material, the Periodic Unit price is 1 USD in current period and stock is 0.
One PO posted for this Material for purchase with actual price 100 USD, and 101 movement type with special stock indicator E was used in Goods receipt posting. I think these stock will be treated as valuated sales order stock. But GR posting didn't trigger any PuP price change in Material master. Is that situation normal? Pls kindly help.

With price control V in activity-based material price determination (indicator2 in the material master), the moving average price is calculated. With price control S, the material is valuated with the standard price and the moving average price is calculated for information purposes.
In single-/multi-level material price determination(indicator 3 in the material master), the valuation price (standard price) remains unchanged and a periodic unit price is calculated for the closed period.
This option is only for materials with price control indicator S,and is only recommended if in addition to multiple currencies and/or valuations, you use single-/multi-level material price determination.
In single-/multi-level material price determination, a periodic unit price is updated for information, but it can only be used for material valuation in the closed period.

Change in material master

Dear all,
I am trying to change the Price control of a material from V to S.
It is showing me a system message as follows:
Price control cannot be changed (cost component split exists)
Message no. M3160
Diagnosis
Costing is active and has already been carried out for the current period. You can only change the price control to "Standard" if the moving average price and the standard price are identical
Now when i am trying to make the standard and moving average price identical,system is throwing an error as follows:
Standard cost estimate exists in period 04 2009
Message no. M8155
Diagnosis
A standard cost estimate has been entered in the material master record for the specified period. This can be a current or future estimate.
Note: This message category can be changed in Customizing for Invoice Verification. This means that you can receive an error message even though the message is defined in the standard system as a warning message.
The following documentation only deals with the standard case.
System response
You cannot manually change prices.
Procedure
1. To update the price determined using a standard cost estimate in the material master and activate the price for material valuation, you have to mark and release the standard cost estimate.
Mark and release standard cost estimate
Procedure for System Administration
2. If you have authorization for Customizing, in Customizing for Product Cost Planning, you can define this message as only a warning or information message for certain users. These users can then change the price manually.
Pls try to throw some light in this issue about how to process the price control change?????????
also pls let me know the spro path for message type M8 155??????
also what is the menu path for M8 155 in product cost planning?
regards,
indranil

Generate change documents for characteristic value changes in material master

Hello,
I am currently using material class (class type: 001) and assign some characteristics to material master. I am going to create a query/custom report to track all changes in the characteristic values in that material master. However, I could not find any change document in CDHDR table.
I have activated "Change Docs" parameter in class type 001 customizing as described in SAP note: 65124 Classification Change Documents as follow:
Is it possible to generate change documents for characteristic values in material master?
Regards,
Julian

Hi Rajen,
Thanks for your reply. It seems that I missed one more step in the customizing. Once the multiple object is activated, I need to activate the change document parameter for each assigned object.

Weight change in material master, update all open PO's

Hello
IS there any standard way for mass update open purchase orders, when weights and volumen in material master change ?
example:
there is a change in neto weight for material AAAA, which is inserted into mm02, basic data for his material. This change doesn't effect already created open orders with this material. Is there any standard way to update them in sap 4.7 ?

Changes will get reflected for new docs only. This is standard.
Now other question comes, why you want to change in PO. I am sure PO are already sent to vendor. Then ideally it is not advisable to change in those PO.
If you haven't sent those PO to vendor, open those PO do some minor corrections SAP will populate the change information in PO documents.
Also changed information will get effective later at GR stage also.
So no question to worry.

Mass change of material master

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding mass change to be done in material master. I need to update one value in the Material group 4 field in sales org view 2 in MM02 transaction for nearly 300000 materials. One option i find is LSMW and the other i saw is transaction MM17. Please let me know how feasible is this MM17 transaction? Is it possible to upload all the 30000 materials through MM17 transaction in one go and update the field? Will there be any performance issue if MM17 transaction is used?
Please give your suggestion.
Thanks
Dinakar

Hi,
Use MM17,
Goto the Transaction code MM17 and in the table check the MVKE- sales org data for material
and select the Fields tab and choose the field MVKE-MVGR4 and execute
Now enter all the materials in the next screen for which you want to change and execute
In the next screen you can maintain the new values for the old
Please check and revert
thanks,

Mass changes of Material Master field with different values

Hi,
How to change a field in Material Master for more than thousand materials. I think MM17 can only be used for mass changes of materials with same values. I need to upload different values for different materials. Is there any other way to do this.
Thanks,
K R Vishnu Kumar

Hi Kumar.
I think you have to use LSMW for mass updation for Material Master fields with different values.

Price change in material master

Hi,
When does the moving average price change, if the PO price or the invoice price is different from the one in material master. Is it after the creation of PO, GR or invoice?
Thanks and regards
Aparna

Hi,
Moving Average price = Total Value
Total Stock
Moving average price updates once you make GR and IV
If you are making GR & IV for new po , then new moving average price of that material will be :
Total stock = stock already present in plant + GR made stock of that new po
Total Value = Total Value of the material in plant + Invoice amount for that new po
Thanks & Regards

Change of material master during transfer between SRM and R/3

Hi,
I have a question for modifying material master data between R/3 and SRM.
I would like to know if it is possible to change the material number during the transfer. The reason is:
I have 2 R/3 backends and 1 SRM system. The material codes in the 2 R/3 systems are different but some materials having different numbers in R/3 are referring to the same material. I want to see such materials with the same material number. Is it possible to do this with Middleware plus some interruption in between? The "translation" should be bi-directional.
Thanks

Hi,
No probs if the field is not replicated.No idea how to bring that through replication though.
Coming to the Product Search...Although the number of such materials is less...You will have to modify the Product search which will take care of the display of other products as well.
The Std product search(<b>bbph_product</b>) uses the the search help exit "<b>BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_PRODUCT_GEN</b>".So you need to replace this one with your custom FM.
In your custom FM,you will have to check for the HARMINIZED code field for all such materials and accordingly while selecting the Material select the HARMONIZED code as the Material number and in the Product search display that HARMONIZED code as the "PRODUCT ID". Also,you will have to develop RFC enabled FM which will actually fetch all the Materials from the BAckend at runtime. Also are you displaying the Product List Plantwise?
Pls give me ur mail ID where i can mail you the sample code.
BR,
Disha.
Pls reward points for helpful answers.

LSMW-Error during processing of BDC session change to material master MM02

I have created an LSMW for changing material master data. I recorded MM02 and using the "select views" screen selected the accounting 2 view and entered the information in the fields on that screen requiring changes. I've set up all of the technical screens for the LSMW. However, when I process the BDC session with "display errors only", the program stops at the select view screen with an error message "Select at least one view". Any ideas how I can process through this screen so that the Accounting 2 screen opens in the BDC session? One further note, I set that selection as a constant in the field mapping and conversion rules screen. The field name recorded as KZSEL_05.

hi
one question how did you choose the view? i mean to ask by scrolling down using mouse or page down.
the scrolling by mouse is not recognized by recording and that may be the error. so whenever you have to go down in screen please use page down not scrolling at least in LSMW.
