Defining Industry Sector

Hi All,
We are a Service Provider Company based in Orissa.
We receive Contracts from other Companies & execute them across India (at different Project Site Locations).
We have different Project Site across India.
Should we use Plant Engineering & Construction as the Industry Secor or do we need to define a new Industry Sector?
What Industry Sector should I use to copy the New Industry Sector in our type of Sector.
We are mainly working for Oil & Gas companies.
Regards,
Aditi

You can Use the Industry Sector A Plant Engineering / Consutrction or you Can Create new one by Copying it.
You can Create Industry Sector in OMS3 trxn code.

Ignificance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master

hi all,
We need information on the significance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master field. I understand that it can influence field selection and the screen sequence of the material master record. We are particularly interested to know the influence of the industry sector u201CPharmaceutical Industryu201D .
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Please check follwoing links
[MM01- Industry Sector;
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ff/515b3149d811d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm]
1. Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection (transaction OMS3) -> assign a field reference to field selection
2. Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens (transaction OMS9) -> define a specific field selection for a field selection group (for example, depending on industry sector (the field reference appears on the lower table control).
Like the material type, the industry sector also has a control function. When you create a material master record, the industry sector determines:
Which screens appear and in which order
Which industry-specific fields appear on each screen
The industry sector you assign to a material cannot subsequently be changed. In Customizing, you can define new industry sectors and maintain the field reference for field selection control according to your enterprise-specific requirements.
Most data in the material master record can be maintained directly by the user. But some information is automatically updated by the system. When you enter goods movements, for example, the system updates the stock and consumption data. Statistical information, such as the date of original creation and that of the last change, can be invoked with , with the quick-info text Information on material.
Some data in the material master is used for information purposes only, for example, description, size, and dimensions. Other material data has a controlling function in an application. For example, the MRP type controls the MRP procedure and the price control indicator determines which material valuation procedure is used

MM01-Industry sector

Hi all,
While creating material code using MM01 i have wrongly put industry sector as OILl.Now i need to change the industry sector. specify which Trasancation Code to be used.
or specify some procedure.

Hi
Industry Sectors
Use
When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to
industry sector and material type.
Like material types, industry sectors have control functions in the R/3 System. For example, it is
a factor determining the screen sequence and field selection [Page 97] in a material master
record. Once you have assigned an industry sector to a material, you cannot change the industry
sector again afterwards.CChheemmiiccaall iinndduussttrryy
MMeecchhaanniiccaall eennggiinneeeerriinngg
Features
The standard R/3 System contains the following industry sectors. The ID used to identify the
industry sector internally appears in parentheses.
Plant engineering and construction (A)
Chemical industry (C)
Mechanical engineering (M)
Pharmaceuticals (P)
The other sectors are for retail.
Activities
Your system administrator can define other industry sectors in Customizing for the Material
Master in Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection [Ext.].
This is MM tutorial notes
Industru sector cannot be changed in std SAP

INDUSTRY SECTOR - CONTROL

Hi,
During creating material master we are giving , industry sector.. is it controls anything?? what will be impacts???

Hi
The industry sector is used to activate / deactivate certain screens / fields specific for that particular industry. You can create your own industry sector or use one which satisfies your needs.
We can define industry sector in SPRO
Path
Spro >Logistics - General>Material Master--> Field Selection --> Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection
Standard Settings
The standard SAP R/3 System comes, for example, with the following
industry sectors:
o A for plant engineering and construction
o C for the chemical industry
o M for mechanical engineering
o P for pharmaceuticals
You can change the name of the industry sector (plant engineering and
construction, and so on) and, if necessary, the field input control too
(via the field reference).

Industry Sector and Material Type list of values in cFolders

Hi,
How to transfer the List of Values for Industry Sector & Material Type from R/3 to cFolders system?
We have R/3 Production system running for the past 3 years. We are implementing cFolders now. While Material creation in cFolders, the List of Values listed for above mentioned fields are not as per R/3 values. Hence we need to change the same LOV in cFolders as per R/3. How to do it?

Hi,
The parameters material type and industry sector are used
to classify a material. They define its possible uses.
For example if you selct indutsry type as retail or mechanical it will classssify the material accordingly. again material type is semifinished then this you can also use as a raw material. In mm02 or MM03 u cant see it.
If you want to see these you can go to SE16 and put table name MARA and can see it.
Hope this will help.
Reward point if helpful.
Thanks,

Is business area and industry sector are same.

Hi All,
   is company code is related to industry sector in any way???
is industry sector related thro business area then, or is business area and industry sector are one and the same.
Thanks
Sathsih

Dear Satish,
Business Area - Organizational unit of external accounting that corresponds to a specific business segment or area of responsibility in a company. Movements in value entered in Financial Accounting are assigned to business areas.
Financial statements can be created for business areas for internal purposes.
The definition of the business area organizational unit is optional.
Business areas are used in external segment reporting (over and above company codes), based on the significant areas of operation of a company (for example, product lines, branches).
To define business areas, choose the following in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure: Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Define Business Area.
If you have defined business areas, the transaction figures for the G/L accounts are managed separately for internal evaluation purposes. You can therefore create internal financial statements for business areas.
If you want to create financial statements for business areas, you must make sure that the Business area field is ready for input in all the line items. To do this, proceed as follows in Customizing for Financial Accounting: Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Business Area -> Enable Business Area Balance Sheet.
To post items in a business area, enter the business area when you enter the business transaction. However, the business area can also be derived from other account assignments, such as the cost center. To enable the system to do this, you must define the business area in the cost center master record.
If you enter a cross-company code document, you can post to different business areas across all company codes in one document. As a result, any number of combinations of company code and business area are possible.
Industry Sector - When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to industry sector and material type.
The standard system contains the following industry sectors. The ID used to identify the industry sector internally appears in parentheses.
·        Plant engineering and construction (A)
·        Chemical industry (C)
·        Mechanical engineering (M)
·        Pharmaceuticals (P)
The other sectors are for retail.

Naveen.

Which Industry sector should i use for 'button'(Cloth) when MM01

Hi!
Could you kindly let me know, thank you very much!

Hello,
I don't think there is a standard industry sector maintianed for Garment industry (Cloth industry) in R/3.
You may define your own industry sectors. Industry sectors is also a factor which determines the screen sequence and field selection in a material master record. Once you have assigned an industry code to a material master, it is not changeable.
The transaction for defining new industry section and field selection is OMS3. It is advicable to seek the help of an MM expert for the same.

Create industry sector

Dear All ,
In Creating material master mm01 there is a column of industry sector there 5 types of industries sector are created like mechanical,chemical etc how can i create another like electrical industries sector.
Amin

Hi,
The Industry Sector and Material Type fields on the initial screen are mainly control fields i.e. they control the screen sequence, views and fields in the data screens of the
material master record.
A number of different Industry Sectors and Material Types exist in standard SAP R/3,when companies need more they can define these in Customising according to their
own requirements.
Yes, you can create for Electrical Industry type in the path given by other buddies.

Relationship between material type and industry sector

Hi experts
when using t-code mm01,there are two fields material type and industry setor in screen.Is there any relationship between material type and industry sector? I want to know if user be able to see the material type related to particular industry sector?
thanks in advance!

Hello
There is no direct relationship between the material type and the industry sector.
The industry sector is used only for field sttus maintenance (fields in display/optional/requierd entry) in transactions.
We will assign seperate field reference groups to industry sectors and deopending on how we configure the field references, the fields will appear for the materials created for that industry sector.
regards

Industry sector field for display only.

Dear All,
Does anybody know the setting to make Industry sector for display only, so that the enduser cannot change industry sector while creating material.
I know to hide industry sector from DEFAULTS menu, but i need to freeze that field for display only.
Regards
Rang

Hello Ranganath,
You can use transaction exit. for more information check this thread.
