Composition assignment in Material master

Hi friends
I have a requirement and dont know if it can be met with EHS functionality: It is as follows:
My client distirbutes pharma drugs...there may be some cases - they have to sell the product which is not in stock. In those cases they will sell some other drug having same composition. So I need to maintain the composition in material master.
For this I activated specification assignment screen and created new specification type - Composition. Now I wanted to maintain the main composition in this screen which will be accesible by particular user group.
So please let me know how to maintaint the composition (customization steps) and will there be any impact with this process?
And I need to search the materials based on composition parameters. Finally we are not implementing EHS.
Thanks

Hi,
On Material master side, I am not sure of the configurations to be done. But, here are the probable steps on EH&S side which you can try for coming up with a solution to your problem.
1. First decide "specification type" under which you wish to define the composition of the material concerned. SAP has given many specification types. You may have a look at the type "Real Substance" in spro at following path:
EH&S>Basic Data & Tools>Specification Master-->Specify Specification types
Select type "REAL_SUB" Go in details and verify for "Material Assignment" check. This check ensures that you can link the specification (substance) created in EH&S with the material of material master, thereby creating a separate tab of "EH&S Specifications" in mm03.
2. Go to t-code "cg02". Create a new specification and assign the relevant material to the specification created in "Material Assignments" tab.
3. Go to the "Property tree" in the Navigation area and go to Composition> Exact Composition>"Composition" tab to maintain the composition of your drug.
You have many more spro settings pertaining to property tree, components etc.
4. Having maintained linking & the composition, if you access the material in mm02 transaction, you should be able to see the specification name. Double-clicking on specification, takes you directly to the "Edit Specification" screen. This way, you may limit the access to the composition of the material to a particular user group by providing the authorization to the t-code "cg02".
Again, there are many settings to map the composition in EH&S. You need to come up with specifics.
Hope above helps.

Use of field "design documents assigned" in material master

hi,
kindly help me to use the field "design documents assigned" in material master. whenever i creat material master (MM01) in basic data2 view this field comes with grey/black No Link indicator. how to use this and for what .
regards
roshan s.

Hi Roshan,
Insted of using this field u can assign Document directly to the Additional Data tab.
TO attach the document to Material Master go to Additional data ---> Document data, assign Document.
You can confirm it by pressing F1 key by selecting that Field.

Remove Sales Org & Distribution Channel assigned in Material Master

Hi,
Is it possible to remove Sales Org & Distribution Channel assigned in Material Master. This is a newly created material I looked at MM06 to see if this assignment can be removed without setting the material for deletion. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

the only way to get rit of existing data is to set a deletion indicator and subsequently run archiving.
In your case go to MM06, enter material number, sales org and distribution channel and set then the deletion indicator at this level only.
Then go to SARA object MM_MATNR and run archiving.
Archiving is usually a process, not just a sequence of transactions. Archiving requires customizing, and certainly the most recent OSS notes for the archiving object (this can be extremly many if your hotpackage implementation was long ago).
this is especially needed to archive only certain organisation levels, as this functionality came with OSS notes

Error in Account Assignment from Material Master to Sale Invoice.

Dear Gurus,
Pls guide me to resolve this problem:
When i am generating Sales Invoice through vf01, system taking Material Assignment Group as 04, but in material Master assignment Group is 03. Due to this system unable to post accounting document.

How system take Material Assignment Group in Sale Invoice. Till now i am checking only Material master. Wht are the other parameters to define Material Assignment group in Sales invoice. <b>This is happending to particular one material only</b>
Pls guide me.
Regards,

Hi
While you define account assignment in TCode VKOA, you have a provision for defining the gl accounts in the combination of the following:
1. Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey
2. Cust.Grp/Account Key
3. Material Grp/Acct Key
4. General
5. Acct Key
When you save an invoice it searches in the above order to find a GL account.
May be your setting would have been done only in 1st or 3rd ie., assining the GL account in the combination of Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey and GL Account. Hence if the combination doesn't, it would not generate the accounting document.
If your business process agrees you can define gl account in Account key (4) or General (5) also, by which it would generate an accounting document even if it finds a wrong material group.

Account assignment on material master

Hello. I have to include the field account assignment (T163K - KNTTP) on material master...
The main goal is indicate if a material is asset or not...
How can I proceed to do this?
Thanks, Camila.

Hi dear,
1) You can create separate material type for Asset.
2) You can create material group for the Asset assign material group when you are creating new material code for Asset.
If you choose any of the above option then in MM60 as Material Type and Material Group both are displayed and you can easily identify the ASSET.

Account Assignment from Material Master or Goods Receipt Document..

We are on ECC 6.0 instance.
For Vendor Cash Discounts we have all the postings going to a default cost center set up as the default account assignment in the cost element master. Because of the default cost center, the postings are going to the profit center on the default cost center. But the segment getting populated at the line item level is not in line with the segment on the default PC.
This segment is actually the one which is in line with the Profit center in the account assignment on Goods Receipt/Material document or the PC on the Material Master.
Can someone please clarify where this segment would be coming from - from the material master or from the good receipt aka material document?
Edited by: Pete on Jul 22, 2009 3:51 PM

Hi,
In material master you have assigned a profit center and all good movements will post to profit center,which is assigned to materials.in profit center you have assigned a SEGMENT.so automatically all profit center postings will post to SEGMENT.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,

Document assignment to Material Master & BoM

Hi Experts,
If I assign a document (Document type DRW) to material master X in MM02, later I include this material X in the BoM of material Y, would this document appear in the CS03 screen- for Y -> component item details for material X ->document tab or not?
I think it will not appear in BoM component if we assign document to MM02, we need to assign this in CS02.
Please advise.
Regards,
Abhilash

Abhilash,
If you want to see the document in cs03 which you allready created in MM02, dubble click on item number it will show you the material display, where you can see that document. This document is related to material master data. OR you need to assign the document in BOM.
You can assign the document in BOM in three ways,
1) Attach document as an item in the item overview,
2) Attach document to an item and
3) Attach document to the header material.
1) Attaching document as an item in the item overview:
-go to the `General Item Overview' screen
-select the tab page `Document'
-enter item category `D'
-dropdown and select the document you want to attach
-the system automatically selects the respective document type, document part, document version and document description
-the system also enters component quantity `1' and component unit of measure as `PC' by default.
2) Attaching document to an item:
-go to the `General Item Overview' screen
-select the particular item by F2
-the item all data screen appears
-go to tab page `document assignment'
-dropdown and select the `document type' you want to attach u2026dropdown and select the document you want to attach
-the system automatically selects the respective document part, document version and document description
3) Attach document to the header material:
-go to header overview screen
-go to tab page `document assignment'
-dropdown and select the `document type' you want to attach
-the system automatically selects the respective, document part, document version and document description
Pre-requisitesu2026
-create document by transaction CV01N
-Customizing settingsu2026in document management customizing determines which objects can be assigned to documents per object type.
-go to IMG -> cross-application components -> document management -> control data -> define documents type
-select the document type for example `DRW'
-select the sub dialog `define object links'
-select new entries and enter following objectsu2026
-'STPO_DOC' and screen `257'(linking document to BOM header) u2026'STKO_DOC' and screen `258'(linking document to BOM item) u2026now documents can be linked to BOM header as well as BOM item.

About profit centers assignment in Material Master

Hi Frnds,
Have a doubt to clarify. As far as assigning the (Cost centers and) Profit Centers in Material Master (MM01/MM02 ) is concerned, when we look at the costing views, there we have an option only to enter a Profit Center and not a Cost Center. Can anyone suggest to me in this regards.
My doubt is: When we purchase a Raw material/ Semi finished (in short any material), it is a cost incurred to produce a Finished product, which means this has to hit some cost center, first.
And above all when a PO etc from MM are made, there the purchasing clerk punches the RELEVANT COST CENTERS, then:
what is the use of defaulting Profit center in the material master,(without actually defaulting both cost and profit centers in costing views of MM).
(ii) when a cost object (profit center) is being defaulted, why not cost center?
Coz, primarily we need to know the cost in purchasing the material, then add up all costs and OH and then arrive at a selling price, thereby arriving at PROFIT which is where profit center is highly useful.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hi,
To clarify your doubts see my response below:
1) Only Costs can be assigned to Cost Centres. i.e.Balance Sheet items cannot be assigned to Cost Centres.
2) On the other hand Balance Sheet items can be assigned to Profit Centres.
When you purchase a Raw material or Intermediate it is not a Cost at the point of Purchase but it is only a Cost at the time of Consumption, if the same is going to be inventorised. In this case it cannot be assigned to a Cost Centre as the Inventory Account which is a Balance Sheet Account is debited in FI.
Only when the Material is issued to the Production line for manufacture of a Finished product, the Cost centre will be manually assigned. Further, you cannot assign a default Cost Centre to a material , as the material can be issued & consumed by any Cost centre and thus the Cost centre will be assigned at the time of issue.
If you purchase a material and if the same is not going to be inventorised but it is a consumable material, it is assigned to a Cost Centre as the time of purchase and it will be debited to a P&L account in FI. The Cost Centre can be defaulted from the Purchase Requisition or the Purchase Order as the case maybe.
Profit centres are defaulted in the Material master, as we need to generate Profit Centre wise Financial statements and the Inventories need to be posted to Profit Centres to generate Financial statements.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Profit Center Assignment on material master

Hi,
We have not assigned profit centers on materials and there are line items that are going to unassigned or dummy
We are into utility industry. We have 3 Profit centers Headquarters, Water Operation and Power Operation.
We have spare parts and other materials which are used for maintaining equipment or service orders in water operation and also power operation.
So to which profit center we need to assign these materials which are procured and used for water operation and power operation.
Just not sure which of the 2 profit centers we need to assign the materials to.
Thanks,
Rajan.

Hi,
In standard you can assign one profit center in material master. But you can maintain different profit centers for same material but maintained in different plant.
In Finished goods case you can set Profit center substitution in 0KEM.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

View document in material master, Basic data 2 screen?

Hello gurus,
How to view a DIR assigned to material master - basic data 2?
According to help.sap.com:
Additional Function for Material Master Record:
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can define a standard document type by choosing Make Global Settings.
- Done this: assigned document type needed, created a DIR with that type and assigned it to a given material
Documents of this standard document type are displayed in the material master record, in the Basic data 2 view (Extras ® Document data).
- Information of the DIR can be seen in the main screen, no path Extras --> Document data (I know DIRs are shown behind menu path Additional data --> Documents)
You can display the original application files of a document (for example, an engineering/design drawing) directly from the object (for example, material) using a display application (viewer).
PROBLEM starts here: no icon or button to click in order to view the document although the help states so.
Any idea what should be done? Should I install a software of some sort to view? Assign it somehow with SAP? The document type here is doc (MS Word), so nothing special.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
BR,
Pipsa

Hello Sam,
Sorry, I think I described the problem inaccurately.
I could see the document already but for that I must follow the path Additional data --> Document data.
My core question was: Is there a means to allow a user to display the document directly in the screen Basic data 2 since system creates a new subscreen called Design documents assigned anyway?
It seems that the design documents assigned is for information purposes only. It would have been far better with usability to have the display icon in the main data.

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

Implement the Product Allocation Functionality
We are required to implement product allocation functionality in SAP R/3 (Enterprise Version).
We tried to do the elaborate steps as per the implementation guide but are not successful. Can you kindly help by giving the simple steps for implementation.
Please see if the following helps:
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

Need to restrict view of DIRs assigned to material, vendor, and customer

Hello,
SAP standard, version ECC 6.0. Different plants in use with requirement for differnt authorizations.
I know that DIRs can be assigned to material master. However, the problem is that it's client level data. Now there is a need to implement DMS with materials, vendors, and customers.
Problem is that company operates in different countries and with different plants. One material/customer/vendor is created and then extended to cover different plants.
Material 1111 has a specification assigned to it, e.g. document type ZSP with DIR 1000001111, this document is at client level.
Person A from plant 1000 can display and maintain it (1000001111) but person B from 2000 must not see this, she has DIR 10000011113 instead (and person A should see this).
If person A has authorizations which are limited by the plant type because of the usage of MM already, do these restrictions apply also to DMS? I haven't found a definite answer for this.
I cannot set a authorization object based on document type and maintaining different uthorization groups is the last option because of the vast number of users.
The same question is for customer. if there is e.g. a contract assigned to customer, can the view be restricted by distribution channel or another field provided by SD (standard solution).
Vendor master is the 3rd major issue. How to limit access to documents?
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pia

Hi,
Can you please elaborate what is the object you mean. I have serious problems with system and cannot check it.

Material Master - Urgent

Hi Abapers,
There is an issue needing resolution relating to the functionality for handling UPC codes and GTIN numbers on the material master record.
we need to carry both the UPC code and the GTIN codes on the same record. The UPC code is typically a 12 digit number and the GTIN code is the same number of length 14 by adding two leading zeros.
SAP is checking numbers being entered in the EAN/UPC field on Basic Data 1 screen of the material master record (MARA-EAN11) as absolute number only i.e.., its considering 49000024661 even if we give 00049000024661.
How can we maintaing leading zeros for this field. referred OSS note: 545520 but couldnt find any solution.
Please suggest as what need to be done inorder to maintain leading zeros as well. how can we achieve this?
Does it require abap coding or functional configuring?
Please do the needfull. Points are sure for all usefull answers..
Thanks in advance...
