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 .

Change UOM in Material Master Problem

Hi all expert,
Im trying to change a raw material UOM from KG to Liter in material master, i have deleted all the document related to the raw material, but when i change the UOM, it display message as below:
Material Master Maintenance
The base unit of measure cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Independent requirements are already assigned to the material.
Plant MRP area
   JK01
I can't find the independent requirements so can't delete it.
Hope someone can give me advise.
Very thanks for help.

You can also see the planned ind. req. for your material from Txn. MD63
If you delete the ind. reqs. no longer appear when you access via trans.
MD62/MD63. However, the records are still in table PBIM with a
deletion flag set on field LOEVR, so, you have to do the planned
independent requirements reorganization as described in note 135807.
I hope this can help you !!!

Change UOM in Material master

Hi friends,
I have a material X in Plant ABC and Plant XYZ.
I have no open PR's and PO's for those materials.
I have received 10 Ea in Plant ABC on 10/20/09 ( Current stock is 10 ea in ABC)
                   and 20 Ea in Plant XYZ on 11/12/2009.( Current stock is 20 ea in XYZ)
Now I wanted to change the UOM from EA to LB.
I did issue (GM 201) 10 Ea from ABC and 20 Ea from XYZ. So, in MMBE no stock was showing.
Still, when i try to change UOM, it was erroring that "Stock exist in Plant ABC and Plant XYZ" ????
Any Idea, why so.
Appreciate your valuable feed back.
Note: I could change the UOM once I canceled the previous material documents to make sure Zero stock.
But, Why I could not be able to change when I issue (GM 201) and made zero stock????
Regards,
Dev.

Hi,
According to your explanation the condition has gone through as below scenarios:
You have received 10 Ea in Plant ABC on 10/20/09 ( Current stock is 10 ea in ABC)
and 20 Ea in Plant XYZ on 11/12/2009.( Current stock is 20 ea in XYZ)
You've issued 10ea in plant ABC on 11/23/09 (GM 201)
and you've I issued 20 ea in plant XYZ on 11/23/09 (GM201)
From the above, I conclude your current period is 11/2009 (November) and for solving the case on:
Plant ABC. --> cancel your GI (mvt 202) for 10ea with the same current date 11/23/09 then follow by
                        GI with the previous posting period 10/30/09
Plant XYZ --> display material stock with MM03 under storage location stock tab for previous period stock info.
                       then you should GI for relevant qty that you've seen onto previous period posting date.
Hope it may helps you...
Cheers,
Girang

How to change currency in material master

Could you please tell me multiple way to change currency in material master (mm02/mm02). Currency is under Costing2 tab in material master.
Thanks..

Hi,
In <b>SPRO</b>, u can change the Cuurency.
The Exchange Rate Type is used to store currency conversion rates for different purposes, in the R/3 System.
If the R/3 System is to perform exchange rate conversions between a large number of different currencies, it can be simplified by specifying a base currency per particular exchange rate type. Then specify the exchange rates of all currencies in relation to the base currency for the exchange rate type concerned.
In accordance with legal requirements, the base currency (EUR) must be defined as the From currency for currency conversions within the EMU (European Monetary Union). To do this, set the indicator in the field BCurr = From.

Change of UOM in material master?

Dear SAPIENTS,
I created a material with UOM (M)just now and than assigned to inspection plan. Now I am changing the UOM of material to Nos.. I was getting following
Error: The base unit of measure cannot be changed
The reasons for this are
Routings already exist that are assigned to the material.
   RType          RtgGrp            GpC         Plant
   Q             QRW6MTQT        1            1100
SO I removed the material from inspection plan. But still I am getting the same error. Can anybody tell me the reason behind it?
Regards,
Kaushal Rai

Hi Kaushal,
You need to delete it from the table also.
The table is MAPL
To delete entry from table
   1. Run trx SE16n (preferable) or SE16.
   2. Enter the Table MAPL.
   3. Enter the group and counter number.
   4. Now in the command window (Where you type the T Codes) type "_&sap_edit_". And press enter.
   5. A message such "SAP editing function is activated" will flash.
   6. Execute
   7. Delete the entry.
Then change the UOM

Re: Changes in the material master.

Hi guru's,
The vendor supplies the material 1 box which consists of 20 pieces, we known that in the material master the unit of measure for alternate UoM is maintained as 10 pieces (in additional data tab). If I make changes as the receipt from vendor as 20 pieces instead of 10 pieces already maintained, what are the consequences I face. its ur pl.
thanks
tuljasingh.

Hi,
Once you make changes in material master ( from 10 to 20) then when you make the GR then system will make GR for 20 quantities (After makeing changes in MM you have to again change the conversion in PO in quantities tab).
So after making GR, quantities & stock value will be updated as per data mentoned in PO conversion.
If you make any new PO then system will pick bydefaut the conversion in PO from the material master.(i.e. 20 qty for 1 pc)

UOM in Material Master

Hi,
Is it true that i cant change the UOM of material (base unit) even if there exist PO and PR for that material ( even though these are not open)? There are no scheduling aggrement too. The stock of material is 0 for this period as well as previous period. I tried to change the UOM for this material but the system gave error that the UOM cannot be change.
Dinakar

You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
1.No stocks are available for the material.
2. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
3 At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
Run MM02 (Change Material Master immediately). - Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen. - Save the change. - System checks If a change criterion (MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in above .System allows changing base unit of measure.
Otherwise it displays warning or error. You can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1) .in that take those purchase requistions and purchase orders and close it.then try again.
Generally it will be difficult to change Base UOM,intead of that you can mark that material for deletion and goahead in creatin a new material with new UOM as base UOM.
Hope it helps

Change number in material master required steps to use

Hi All.
Thanks in advance sap mm dudes.
Need steps in sap mm material master change number.
creation of change number and usage of change number
Display of list of changes.
Regards.
parameshwar

Dear Parameshwar,
1.I assume you have created a change number without release key in CC01.
2.In CC02,for the same change number goto object types and include the check box against material for the first 3 check box and
save the change number.
3.Now check in MM02 for any material master changes or I would suggest you to create a new change number with valid from
date as current date,include the settings for material under object types and then check in MM02.
Check and revert.

Change logs for material master are cut

Hi,
I am having a problem with material master logs. I am not able to get the complete logs for the changes made on a partcular material. It is displaying the change log from today to 2006 but i want to check till 2001. As of now it is cutting it till 2006.
Where as in the quality system i am able to see the complete log but not in our production system.
The way to view material master changes is display any material and go to Enivornment menu and select display changes.
Regards,
Chitrasen

It is possible to archive change documents independent of the objects they belong to.
Usually you would archive a material master and at the same time all change logs get archived too with object MM_MATNR
But as already said. It is possible to archive change logs independtly with object CHANGEDOCU
so execute SARA, enter CHANGEDOCU and click the administration button. If you see archives that were recently created, then you can be sure that your logs got archved.

Availability Check Changed on the Material Master Update Existing Orders

I need to know if there is a way to update existing orders once changes have been made to the material. Currently the only way that I know of is to go into individual orders change the plant save then change it back to the original plant on the order then the changes take effect. How can I achieve this without touching every order individually. Is there something to mass update existing orders to take a new snapshot of the material master settings for a material.

Try with t.code VA05 - Open sales order list.
Execute this list. In the output, sort the data by plant. Then go to menu Edit -> mass change -> new plant. Change the plant for group of sales orders that have similar plants. Then again do the same thing to bring the previous plant in the sales orders.
This can help reduce the time instead of going one by one.

PP: Production Order Qty UOM should be based on the sales order Qty UOM though having Alternate UOMs in material master

Hello PP GURUS I am new to this and i have one issues. I.e., While creating the Production Order, want the unit in the production order should be based on the sales order unit instead of what has been defined in the material master. Since, having 3-4 alternate unit of a material & can create a Sales Order in any one of them.
Also pls let me how to go through
either with the help of ABAP or configuration.
If it is with the configuration pls let me know the solution to arrive.
Eg: Base UOM is KGS
Alt UOMs: SQM, MTR, NOS
Sale order is Prepared with SQM and the same shall be in production order too to produce qty.
Pls help me.
rgds,
Kumar V

Hi
First you have to maintain alternate units in mateial master for that first go in additional data & maintain the alternate units as below..
For example
1200 M2=1 KG For SQM
12 M=1 KG For MTR
3 PC=1 KG For NOS
And then you can get Sales unit field in sales data 1 view enter your sales unit in that field & you will get production unit in work scheduling views as per your desire production units and according to that units your sale order & production order will pick that units & you can proceed accordingly but remember that first maintian the conversion factor as above other wise it will not accept hope that it will help you have a nice day...

Reena
