Characteristics at Material and Equipment

Hi,
Could you please help me finding ways of setting up Characteristics at the Material Master which is not  having type as configurable.
Then based on that if equipments are to be created, then those characteristics to be propagated to equipments also automatically.
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

  • Functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report

    i want to show the functional location for the respective material and equipment in a report designed for plant maintenace module..how should i add a field in the report which already contains the order , material and equipment no ?..just have to add a field  functional location in that report. Can anyone plzz tellme from which table should i fetch the data .?

    From EQUI get the recent/valid EQUZ record.
    From EQUZ get the ILOA record.
    ILOA holds the TPLNR for the equipment.
    And from ILOA you can get IFLOT.
    edit: just noticed you can use V_EQUI as well.

  • Capture Characteristics with Material and Sales (Really Very Urgent)

    Dear All ,
    I have to capture the charecteristics alongwith the material, these characteristics also flow in the sales order, basically a class has been defined which holds a number of characteristics and this class is assigned to the material and I guess this is done using the variant configurator,
    1) How will be able to capture the same and display
    those ?
    2) Does this characteristics flow in the standard
    extractors of the material and sales order or any
    other cube which can multicubed with those ?
    Plz do suggest me the an viable option.
    Thanks & Warm Regards,
    Fayak.

    Hi Seig,
    You can generate this datasources using TCODE CTBW, You can refer to this note (306046), which xplains the same, I have done that to an extent but data is not flowing in my main DS and I need to understand the mapping of the same in InfoSource structure.

    Hi Anil,
    Thanks for your reply, I have checked up the material attributes it does not flow there and I was referrring to one note where you can enhance your datasource using CTBW to capture this characteritsics so I did enhance 0MATERIAL_ATTR, the other attributes are listed as an TEXT DataSource and If I check them using RSA3 data gets populated accordingly but the enhanced datasource 0MATERIAL_ATTR which become 1CL_MAT001 does not return any records shows zero records, I am looking for charcterictics which have been mapped using an Variant Configurator and as far as the note suggests it has to be done thru CTBW to capture this, I have done that but success still eludes me,
    Experts Plz help on this as I am on pressure to complete this.
    Thanks,

  • Inspection characteristics based on material and goup counter

    Hi,
        Do we have some function module which would give us inspection characteristics based on material and group counter. I have gone through many posts in this regard but find answers to get inspection characteristics based on inspection lot number.
    I do not want to get into quality at all. Is there a FM to get the inspection characteristics based on material and group counter or any related tables would be of gr8 help. T-code QP03 takes material and group counter as input and displays the inspection characteristics. Any input in this regard would be of great help.

    Hi,
    Use tables MMAPL , MAPL and PLMK as per your requirement.

  • Table relation for material and characteristics value

    Hi,
    I am looking for the tables which contain the material and characteristics values. e.g. For a particular material what are the characteristics available and what are their uniq values. It will be great if you could provide me the tables name along with the link key (foreign key) between the material no and it's characteristics. Even though I have tried ausp & other tables but I could not find the uniq for a particular material. All answers are appreciable.
    Thanks in advance..

  • Find batch class of material and characteristics

    Hello Experts,
    can anybody send sample code to derive the batch class of the material and list of characteristics that are assigned to that class.
    Thanks in advance.
    Zak.

    Tables used for batch characterastics are:
    MCH1
    AUSP
    CABN
    MCH1->CUOBJ_BM   = AUSP->OBJEK     (see preceding zeros)
    AUSP->ATINN           = CABN->ATINN

  • Difference between Item created under Material Master and Equipment

    Hello Expert,
    I am bit confused in Item created in Master and Equipmet:
    as per my understanding : Item created in Item master belong to some BOM in BOM defines the structure for the Item.
    Then what is exactly served b equipments?
    The equpments are serialied Items with some different structure or they are derived from BOM?
    Please guide me to understand this concept.
    br,
    Pushkar

    Dear,
    Check what I found:  material master is used to describe an item, usually stockable,  that is purchased, manufactured, sold, inspected, serviced, etc.  A material master is usually created when there are multiple quantities of an item, say a product that is being manufactured.
    A material master may have a serial number profile entered in order to allow distinguishing between the different copies of the same item.   For stocking,  inspecting, sales, manufacturing, etc;  the exact serial number(s) being transacted will need to be specified.
    Depending  on the serial number profile specifics, each SN may get a unique equipment master, which records information specific to the material-SN combination (not just about the material in general).  For instance, if a product sold to a customer is returned for service, that material-SN (=equipment master) will have a record of the service order used.
    For items which are never inventoried but for which information particularly PM transactions are recorded, an equipment master without a material master may be created, for instance a piece of processing equipment.
    So an equipment master may link to a material-SN combination, or may be a stand-alone.

  • A/R extractor - Material and Invoice Amount

    Hi Gurus,
    I just wanted to extract Material and Invoice amounts for Accounts Receivables from R/3 to BW?
    Is there any standard extractor for the same.
    I found 0FI_AR_4 but it doesnt have material field.
    How can I link the BSID table with material.
    Is it via Sales Document (VBELN)?
    Regards,
    Srini

    Hi Srinivas ,
    Invoice is part of AR but material (0material ) is not part of AR .It is part of SD .If you are looking for this field you may not find it .
    You can check standart key figure and Characteristics available under it in this link :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/3b/eac53976b78867e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
    If you want material you need to use SD material .If you want these fields for a report then you can make a multiprovider with AR and SD cubes Having both material and Invoice .

  • Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

    Dear experts,
    In my company we are considering following scenario:
    Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
    We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
    The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
    The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
    The doubts we are having are the following:
    Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
    Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
    Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
    Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
    Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
    I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
    Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
       First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
      If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
      Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
      However this may not be viable for bulk postings
      You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)
    regards

  • Stock overview based on material and vendor combination

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a scenario, for three materials A , B, C was bought out from 5 vendor,  how to display the stock with material and vendor combination. In client place, the three material (A , B,C) which were bought from same vendor are issued to cost center. Client wants to know the stock based on vendor.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    In my opinion you have the following options - basically:
    1) Use different material numbers for the physically same material you procure from different vendors (this is the dummiest solution, not recommended)
    2) MPN (manufacturing part number) - you use different material numbers corresponding to each vendor . But these materials will be lnked:

    3) Batch management
    option1 - You apply a certain logic to batch numbers and based on batch number you can distinguish from which vendor the stock was procured.
    option2 - You can also use "not speaking" batch number, but here it's more sophisticated to find out from which vendor it was procured
    option3 - You can classify the batch and in one of the characteristics you can store the vendor's number
    option4 - In the batch master (table MCHA) you can find a "vendor" field (MCHA-LIFNR) - using development you can populate this field at the time of GR
    4) Split valuation - you can maintain separate valuation type for each vendor. I think it is recommended only if you want to manage the moving avarage price separately
