Differentiate material at plant level

Hi,
I want to differentiate material at plant level.
Example I have a material 3335 in plant 1000 and 1100 but in plant 1000 this material is spare part and in plant 1100 this material is main part so I have to maintain this data at plant level.
I tried to enter this data in plant data tab in material master but it will grey out after I save material master for one plant and when I try to extend the material to another plant it will not allow to change.
I want to know a field where I can maintain this data.
Thanks and Regards

you cannot have one material number with several material types.
the material type is even above the material number level, as you assign material number ranges to a group of material types.
You either have to create 2 materials, or one plant has to live with the "wrong" material type name.
More important than the name of material type are the attributes of a material type. As they define what views can be used, what fields will be mandatory or optional....
You will rarely find a transaction in SAP that uses the material type for selection or does show the material type in reports.
So dont build to much logic into the naming.
If you need to seperate spare part from main part n the GL accounts, then you can allow and assign a different valuation class.

Blocking of Material at Plant level

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is to block the material at plant level i.e. to disallow any transaction for a material in a specific plant..
Is is possible in SAP and if yes ,then what are the steps to achieve this.

Hi,
You can Block the Material for further processing.
You can set the Indicator as Block(Initial ststus) in X-Plant Material Status in Basic Data & Purchasing View .
Otherwise you can also flag the material for deletion,in MM06 .
Best Way is
You cannot delete the material from material master until archiving but you can block that material for any procurement
Goto Basic data 1
X-plant matl status -
01 Blocked for procment/whse
02 Blocked for task list/BOM
10 Blocked for MRP
Thanks,

About the effect for batch level conversion from material to plant level

Dears,
Now we use batch management at material level in our system, now we want to change to batch level from material level to plant level, what effects or risks it will bring during the process of conversion?
Thanks a lot
Zhongkai

Hi
check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/es/d2/1d4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
at the link you can find the following
Specify batch level and activate status management
In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
the level at which batch numbers are unique
whether batch status management is active in the client
the plants in which batch status management is active
the initial status of new batches
Batch level
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard R/3 System, batches are unique at plant level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
      2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
      3. Select function Batch level -> Conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example).
SETTINGS BEFORE/AFTER CLIENT COPY:
Source client Target client
Client level Material level
Material level Material level
Plant level Plant level
Batch status management
Batch status management is an additional function provided by the standard R/3 System.
Standard settings
Batch status management is not active in the standard R/3 system.
Activities
To activate batch status management, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose Batch status management active.
      2. Save the new setting and choose Back.
      3. Choose Batch status management -> conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Batch status management is linked to the batch level. At material and at plant level, the status management settings are valid within the client, that is for all plants. However, if you have defined batches to be unique at plant level, you have to select the plants in which status management is to be active using function Plants with status management.
If you activate status management, all existing batches are assigned status 'unrestricted'. If you deactivate status management, the systems transfers all restricted batches to unrestricted stock within conversion. Restricted stock only exists if status management is active.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, status management is automatically activated if batches exist in the target client, independent of the settings in the source client. If no batches exist in the target client, it is not activated. In this case, you have to activate or deactivate status management manually, if required.
Plants with batch status management
Activities
To select the plants in which status management is to be active, proceed as follows:
      1. Set characteristic Batch status management for those plants in which batch status management is to be active.
      2. Save your settings and choose function Back.
      3. Choose function Batch status management -> conversion
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Initial status of a new batch
Using this function, you can specify for each material type which initial status new batches are to be assigned. However, if you use a quality management system, this specifies the status of the batches.
Hope it will help
Best Regards

Conversion of Batch from Material to plant level

Hi
Each time i try to change the Batch management level from Material to Plant I get the following message:
This type of conversion is not yet implemented Message no. CZ308

Changing Batch Level from Material Level to Plant Level.

I want to create the batch class with the class code 22 instead of 23. As the batch class is maintained at the Material Level, not at the Plant Level. So is it possible to change the batch class from Material to Plant Level and create batch class with code 22.
Kindly suggest.

Hi, Thanks for ur reply.
I have applied SAP notes and changed the batch status from material level to plant level...But still i am getting the class type as 23.
What are the next steps to be done. Currently in OMCT, Batch Level Conversion tab is active and rest all the tabs are in inactive state. so please guide.

Batch class at plant level

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to assign batch class for a material at plant level, the scenario is the material is produced in two plants the batch characteristics for the both plants are different , and hence i want to assign two different batch class to a material .
Thanks and regards
Thamizhchelvan G

Thamizhchelvan,
You cannot have Plant wise Batch Class as this is client level data.
What can be done is assign all the possible characteristics to the Batch Class and assign that class to Material master and you can define the Inspection plan with MIC which are as required by individual Plants, based on this Results would be recorded and Inspection Results can be transferred to Batch Classification for that particular data.

Can UoM be at plant level?

Hi Experts,
I know that UoM is specific to Material Level, but can it be specific to Plant level or any other? Since in one of our business scenario we need to distiniguish between dry and wet for the same material at plant level? Can we achieve this ?
Thanks,
Andy

Not possible with std SAP . may be you have to try with development .If you expalin your exact requireement we may think out some other work around.

Stock Mismatch at Plant level and Serial Number Collection

Hi,
I'm working on with the material stocks in my application. For the serialised material (MATNR = 50004050), I'm gettting the plant level stock as 20 and the corresponding serial numbers collection for the same material is 27 which is wrong. Since the plant level stock and the serial number collection should be one and the same
I'm using MARA, MARC table for getting the plant level stock and EQUI and EQBS table to get the serial number collection. If I increase the stock using the transaction 'MB1C' and movement type '561', the serial numbers which I'm giving for the serialised material is coming in the serial number collection but the plant level stock still in the previous value itself. If I raise the stock for the serialised material, the plant level stock also should get updated.
Please let me know, how can I get the stock equal in both plant and serial number collection.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan.

This could happen, if the status of serial number is wrongly updated to ESTO. From where are you taking serial numbers?Physically what is right the qty showing plant stock or the qty showing serial number? May be you go and check the history of the serial number to see if it is really available in stock.
Also it can be serial number is optional so though the stock is reduced but serial number is not captured while issuing so the stock at plant level is less but serial number is more,
If this is the case, reconciallation directly from tables will be difficult.

Mass deletion of material master at plant level

Hi,
Is there any way to flag materials nearly 500 Nos for deletion at plant level.
Regards,
Vengat

hi,
Use mass transaction for putting the delete indicator for the material master...this is to be done from MM17 tcode...
and later they all could archived...Archive it from MM71 and can display this from MM72..

Identification of old material number at plant level

Dear All,
We are implementing SAP for two hospitals. In legacy system each hospital as its own material master and material number. Now in SAP each hospital we are treating as a plant. These two plants are assigned to one company code.
So it means that there will be one unique material number for two hospitals. Now business wants their old material number (which is maintained differently for two Hospitals) at plant level in search functionality
How can I achieve with material master
Regards
Subhash

create a class "OLDMAT" for old material number with CL03 for class type 001
define a characteristic for old material number for each plant with CT04 and assign it to the class (can as well be done from within CL03). name it e.g. OLDMXXXX (XXXX = plant number)
in MM01 select classification view and add the class. after you hit enter you get the fields to add the old material numbers
Standard F4 help for a material number allows then to search for a material number by classification.

MM01 material copy from at plant levele

Hi,
I have a simple but very important question to ask about MM01 material "copy from" function.
When you copy a material at an organisational level other than general data (at plant level for exemple), SAP copies some data and left some others blank
For exemple, in "Work Scheduling" material views, it copies "Prod.Sched.Profile" data but not "Unit of issue" nor "Prod.stor.loc." data.
What make the difference between these data ? Why all isn't copied ?
Thanks for help
regards
Morgan

storage locations are plant specific customizing.
SAP cannot assume that the second plant would use the same keys like the first plant.
If SAP would copy the storage location, then it would result in an error if it is not customized for the target plant - better not to copy it.

Client level, plant level and material level batch

at client level for a material

Material master fields on plant level

Hi all,
is it possible that i can restrict fields on plant level, like one material type one field i want mand. in one plant and optional in other plant.
regards,
qsm sap

hi,
Yes, it posible:
go to SPRO
Logistics - General-> Material Master->Field Selection->Define Plant-Specific Field Selection and Plant-Specific Screen Selection (OMSA)
see the settings for the plant in field reference - you need a diferent reference to the diferent plants (group together similar plants - all the ones that you want the field to be mandetory should have the same field reference)
now go to OMS9 or OMSR
and set the field as mandetory for the field reference you have made in OMSA
good luck
