Document current version material master

We currently have our document management system configured to show the current version of a document. This works fine for documents in FR (final release). What is a problem is that in the material master we still see documents attached that are OB (obsolete) or AR (archive). Is there a config setting to not show archived documents when showing current versions? So we want our material master to show only the lastest drawing in FR status.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
The 'current version' setting is like a filter. In case the radio button is set to 'Current Version' only the highest version of a document number is displayed.
The system logic depends on different circumstances and is like:
no version is released:
In this case the highest document version is displayed.
a version is in released status:
Then this version is displayed as the current one. Even if there are higher version numbers.
To be sure the system behavior is correct please check also if the notes 847511 and 775515 are implemented correctly.
I hope this information could be useful for you. If yes please donate some points.
Best regards,
Christoph

You have to implement document Management module.
then it can be managed no of drawing for a material bom with versions.

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.

Reference a document in the material master

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a way that we can do the following....
We basically want to have a field/location in the Material Master that will reference a document stored somewhere on a network server and in turn, display and print on the PO (the document name prints, not the contents). Any suggestions of where to start?
So in the MM for Material # 123456
MyField = "MyInspectionDoc.pdf" (MyInspectionDoc.pdx resides on \\mynetworkserver\MyInspectionDoc.pdf)
Or
Is there a way to have an attachment in the MM that will automatically be pulled into the PO when the PO is created (with the material item as a line item in the PO of course)

I think you are mixing DMS (document management) with GOS (generic object services)
GOS content is created as shown in your screen shots.
You cannot even see from any transaction which materials have a GOS attachment. The GOS attachment can only be accessed from the object (material master) where it was created.
DMS is a central component in SAP and embedded to the material master like it is done with classification too.
You can create the documents in CV01N transaction and link to the material or directly from material master. you can use CV04N to search for documents
In the material master you will find the link to the document in alternative data tab where you have as well your alternative units.
This screen looks like this one:
Those material master attachments/documents do not print automatically in a PO, for this you have to do some ABAP development

For case A, create insp plan with usage "1- production" If you have one IP with this usage for given material then system will assign Plan to lot automatically. In your case for second plan update usage as 1.
For case B, system should assign 1st plan make sure for both plan udage is correct. for 1st plan usage should be 5 while 2nd plan usage should be 1. Now if your 1st have status 4 and key date before lot date then system will assign plan auto.

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.

Documents management with material master???

Hi experts
Can anybody explain , i have updated drawings in material master . For eg ABCD is material code .
For the ABCD material i have uploaded some drawings in SAP system.
Here i think , who are all having access for MM03 transaction , they can see the drawing for tht material (ABCD).
My requirement is , drawing should display only for Production people. example user id wise.(only production user id the drawing should display, that too not for all materials , for few materials.)
I have cretaed some 100 materials for example.If u go to MM03 we can display 100 materials details including drawing ..
I need some authorisation block for few materials in that 100 materials , for eg , for 20 materials drawing should not display in MM03 for all SAP users
Only for some USER ID it should display. there is any possibilities ???
Thanks
SAP-MM

Hi
Hi
It is possible to have different screens for different user groups. You need to create new material master sequence without drawing number details and give that to users who should not see drawing details. Check the customization steps in the below config. Spro-> Logistics General---> Material master ---> Configuring material master.
In this you can define user wise screens also.
I think I already answered you.
A quick example
Scenario
For your purchasing agents Kirk, Scott, and McKoy, you want to create a screen sequence containing the following screens:
Basic Data
You want this data screen to include the following unchanged subscreens from the Basic Data 1 view in the standard material master:
Material description
General data
Dimensions/EANs
Purchasing/Storage
You want this data screen to include the following subscreens:
General data (from the Plant Data/Storage 1 view in the standard material master)
Purchasing values (from the Purchasing view in the standard material master)
You also want this data screen to include an additional subscreen containing the following fields from the Purchasing view in the standard material master:
Purchasing group
Material group
Order unit
Procedure
1. Carry out the IMG activity Create Program for Customized Subscreens. This requires you to do the following:
a) Create a function group of your own, for example, with the name YENTERPRISE (steps 1 and 2 in the documentation for the IMG activity above).
b) Copy subscreen SAPLMGD1 2301 (Purchasing Data: General Data) to SAPLYENTERPRISE 2301, and subscreen SAPLMGD1 2701 (Storage Data: General Data) to SAPLYENTERPRISE 2701 (steps 3 to 7).
c) Remove all fields from subscreen SAPLYENTERPRISE 2301 with the exception of the Purchasing group, Material group, and Order unit using the Screen Painter (transaction SE51) (step 8).
Make sure that the fields you have removed are no longer included in checks. You do this by searching for the fields in the source code and making the lines in which they appear comment lines.
Using the Screen Painter, rename the frame text of both subscreens as follows:
General data -> Purchasing data: General data

Linked Documents to BOM: Current version/All versions

Hi,
I am talking about the screen that is obtained in ECC6 after executing CS03 , Go to Header Level and select the tab Doc.assignment.This shows Linked Documents ( Current version and All versions)
I have linked three released versions of a Document Info Record ( AA,AB and AC) with change number to the BOM by navigating to the screen listed above and saved the BOM.But I dont see any Linked documents, if I click on "Current version" in the same screen.However "All versions" shows all the three versions of this DIR.The DIR also shows the linked BOM in Cv03n for all three versions.
I have tried linking these three versions to the material, and the "current version" in the additional data tab ( basic data view) - document data tab rightly shows the latest version AC and All versions shows all three AA,AB and AC.
1.Is there any activation to be done for current version in BOM as mentioned in above screen?
2.The version is released with change number and is valid on todays date , what might be other possible reasons current version doesnt show up any DIRS for the BOM?
Regards,
Prasad

Hi Christoph.
The SAP system we are using already has corrections of note 974270 as it is on higher version.
I have checked the documentation in the links you have sent and made sure that the settings for screens are fine.
I tried to execute couple of scenarios to check the logic for "Current version".
Scenario:1 : Two DIRS with out change number and not released
I see that there are no versions displayed in "Current version" tab( in CS03 tcode) for a simple test case where i created two DIRS with out change numbers, both of them not released.As per documentation in link, it should display the latest version in such scenario,
Scenario 2: Three released versions with valid change number.
For another test case , though three versions are released( AA, AB And AC) and change numbers are still valid, the current version still shows older version of "AA".( in CS03 tcode)
Please help if there is something else that I can check to proceed further.
Regards
Prasad

Defaulting a PDF from material master to a purchase order

Hi All,
I am an SD cosultant working in MM also. I have a requirement wherein I can store some a PDF document in the material master and whenever I create a Purchase Order, the attachment should default in to the document. The idea is to send the PO by mail and also the PDF file should also be sent along with it.
I do not have any idea about DMS and treid to look out for solution in this forum but am unable to find the right answer. Can somebody please help me by detailing the steps to configure this. I tried using CV01N and gave the material number as the object link. However, it does'nt get defaulted in the PO. It seems that I need to give th PO item in the object link and this does'nt serve my prupose at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Vidya

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for responding. You have cleared my doubt and helped me save good time. We are open to some ABAP development including using exits. But I am not clear where to start with. I am looking at something like this:
I shall store the document object in the material master first using the generic object service option. Whenever a PO is created it would issue an output using a smartform and print to PDF. Now the smart form would also print the object image with reference to the material number and it's object. My ABAPer tells me that he can modify the smartform to facilitate the image embedding. But I do not know how to develop the spec because I am not aware of the relevant tables and fields for the object. do you think this is feasible ?
Thanks & Regards,
Vidya

Insert drawing ind te material master record

Hi Gurus,
I would like to add a drawing in the material master record. Do you know which configuration I have to do?
Regards,
MNA

Hi,
You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record .
Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data.
To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
Assign one or more documents to the material.
If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and
choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.
To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Continue.
Save your data.
Note:
SAP has recommended SAP DMS - Document Management System.SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems but need to Install the SAP DMS.

Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

Dear Experts,
In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Zusen

Hi,
Please read the Solution part of note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
with the initialization :
Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
following effects concerning the period stocks:
    o The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any
       posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the
       inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the
       current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of
       the previous period in this case.
       If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in
       addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so
       that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period
       will be deleted.
    o If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period
       (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period)
       just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings),
       you should initialize the posting period back again to the old
       value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost
       (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
       However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the
       history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in
       this case are inaccurate.
       You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    o However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a
       previous posting period and if postings were made during this
       time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous
       periods is lost.
       As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report
    Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are
    more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can
    result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the
    history records.
o Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that
    have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory
    balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a
    previous period or have been created in the former previous
    period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined
    from the current book value of the previous period and the book
    quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM)
    and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period
    that is currently valid.
