Open field for cost center on the material master

We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere. Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often. We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance). I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
Thanks

Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
Can you elaborate the requirement?
After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.

Accounting & costing view in the material master

hi
my client wanted to block the accounting & costing view in the material master for the end users
what i need to do

Hi,
You can (Authorization material master by views of accounting & costing ) achieve this by way of authorization control. In transaction PFCG, select your role for creating / changing the material master. Select option Maintenance statuses. Then at change status option select views that you want to give the authorization to the users. Create profile & save the role. Now assign the role to the users. They will get only those views you have selected. You have to select those views in all the roles related to material master (create, change, display).Better Consult Basis Consultant,

Screen Level Security for the Material Master

We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
Thanks!

Janet,
It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed. You really should consult your local authorization expert.
The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA. It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system. You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object. You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
M_MATE_STA
Definition
Maintenance status authorization for material master records
The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                Note
To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.

STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.
The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
User department                Maintenance status
Work scheduling                   A

Notes
This authorization object also determines:
o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
-   01 to create
-   02 to change or delete
-   03 to display
The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

Costing run for the material in Physical distribution Plant

Hi experts,
There's a material both creates in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999. (same material number)
However, BOM & routing only create in prodution plant 1000.
How do we copy BOM & routing (in prodution plant) for the material creates in Physical distribution Plant and excute costing run for it? (we need to excute costing run every month, so standard cost for the material in productoin plant 1000 & physical distribution plant 1999 needs to be the same every month.)
Thanks in advance.

HI AO
1. There is no standard feature to copy the BOM/Routing from Plant 1 to 2...
While creating in PLant 2, you can give the reference of Plant 1.. Or you can use some BAPIs to do the same
2. If you want same std cost in Plant 2 as in Plant 1, then easier way would be to create a Special Procurement Key and assign the same in Material master - Costing View of Plant 2 (1999)
Follow the steps below
1. Go to OMD9
2. Click on New entries: Enter your Plant = Plant 2 (receiver plant) "SP Pr Type" = Z1 and Proc Type = F;
3. Under Special Procurement Secrion
Enter U as special procurement and Plant 1 in the Plant Field (Transferring plant)
4. Save this entry, and in Mat Master of Plant 2, specify Z1 as Special proc key in Costing view (NOT MRP VIEW)
5. Run CK11N in Plant 2... and release from CK24

OCM for Revesion level in the Material Master and for the BOM

Hello,
I use My SAP 6.
I have implemented OCM. It's used for 2 things:
- The first is for revision level in the Material Master.
- the second is for the BOM.
Today, the customizing is good, it's work.
My need is to have the same change number for those 2 evolutions: for the material master evolution and for the BOM evolution.
It's possible, and how?
Thanks for your answers.

I do not think this is possible. Service level is usually used for safety stock planning.

Update of cost in the material master

Hi all,
From the purchasing point of view,In the normal process Cost in the Material master gets updated from purchasing documnents automatically.In this case,manually if the cost is changed in the purchase order affects the cost in the material master.My requirement is this should be done automatically after receiving the vendors confirmation of list of material costs.There may be chance of change in the cost of the materials.so the costs of the materials which were changed should get updated in the material master automatically(VPRS).
Ie changing of the costs of the materials in the purchase order should be reduced .How this will done??
If we have more than 2000 line items in the purchase order,it will be quite little bit difficult to update each material cost in the purchase order .
Thanks in advance..
Regards...VM

Hi,
Normally material will be valuated with two types of price controls S -standard price and V-moving avaerage price.
A std price as its name indicated it is std and will not chnage.
A moving average price will chnage accordingly with the change in the material price.
Normally it will be better create a info record for the material and vendor combination for the plant or purchase organisation with a info update indicator in the purchase order will serve your pupose .
With the proper settings at SPRO system creates info record during creation of PO if it does not exist or updates the existing record if it has one with the latest price details in the form of last purchasing document so that these details get defaulted during creation of PO.
However you can create a outline aggrement so that a PO can be created with reference to that.
Or you can create a condition record for the price for your combination so that it can get defaulted.
The price which is there in PO will not be defaulted to material master.
Or time to time you can review the prices and maintain via MR21.

Standard cost estimate could not be found for the material

Dear All,
We have 4 manufacturing plants and 30 sale depots. We are maintaining price control (S) for FG and SFG in Manufacturing plants,price control (V) at depots for the same material code. we are getting an error message " standard cost estimate could not be found for the material" while doing billing at depot.
Please give me suggestion.
Your suggestion should be appreciate.
Thanks in advance............
AND
My client want to see profitability at manufacturing plant level and need break up for the COGM. So how can i get the values of depot sales.
please let me know how to do........

Hai
Price control should be S for Depot also. You need to run standard cost estimate in DEPOT after entering additive cost under CK74N for frieght, excise duty etc. To transfer the standard cost from the source plant you need to make configuration in OMD9 defining the receiver and sender combination so that system can pick up the cost from source plant. This special produrement type needs to be asigned in the material masters of DEPOT under MRP 2 view.

Plant specific fields in the material master for product move

Hi, SAP gurus,
My scenario is we are moving a existing product in US plant to Brazil plant. What are the fields in the material master that are specific to a plant that will change. For ex MRP controller will change from plant to plant. Like that can anybody please provide me a list of fields that i need to be looking at?
Thank you
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
First of all, list down all your materials those you want to extend to new plant.
a) Secondly, pay attention to those fields you will find "filled" in those materials at plant level.
b) MARC comes handy for you to analyse which fields are at plant level.
Intersection of fields with values between a and b are the ones you need to work out.
Good luck,
Regards

Authorisation object for "PO text in the material master"

Hi,
My requirement is as below:
"All users can see the Purchase Order Text as usual, but only a few users should be allowed to create / change the PO Long Text.
For other users, the same should appear in display mode only (both in creation & in change mode, MM01 & MM02)."
Please let me know, How to map this.
As per my knowledge thsi is possible only thru authorisation. But I want to know what is the authorisation object for "PO text in the material master" (Pl note that only for PO text in the material master field). we want control on "PO text of material master"
Regards.
Chinna

Hi,
The authorisation object is "M_MATE_MAT", pl check

MRP TYPE for Periodic planning in the material master.

Dear gurus,
i need planned the materials in the periodic modality, are there the type MRP in the material master for create the planned file ( table MDVM) one once a month or in the specific period chose ?
Example :
I need that the material master don't create a file planned ( MD20- TABLE MDVM) for a change of the requirement situation new , but i would like that the flag in the table ( MDVM) or file of the planning MRP created when the today date is in the period specific.
31.3.2011 (or period 1.4.2011- 10-4-2011)Date for the create a file MRP and after when run MRP planned the material, for others scenary the system must not planned the material.
Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
Thanks a lot
Dani

Dani,
Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.

No standard cost estimate found for the material

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the bill systems throws the error as "no statandard cost estimate found" whereas the material is a kmat material.
Actually as per the requirement we should not Run standard cost estimate for any material,we will update the standard price in MR21
What are the settings that i need to do to avoid the above error message while doing billing?
Following error msg is appearing:-
No standard cost estimate could be found for material "300000"
Message no. K/834
Diagnosis
In Profitability Analysis, an attempt was made while valuating with material costing to read for material "123456" a standard cost estimate released on posting date "02.10.2008".
