EAN/UPC code in the material master
Hi all,
Does anybody have the scenario where the UPC number of a product is the same as the SCC number displayed on the container that holds this product with the difference being the EAN category and the leading zeroes? For example: UPC of a bottle is 080686001409 with EAN category = UC (length = 12 digits) and SCC of the case is 00080686001409 with EAN category = SC (length = 14 digits). The number is externally assigned. SAP does not let you enter these 2 codes in the master data. When you enter the second code, 00080686001409 and ctg SC for example, SAP automatically changes it back to the first code 080686001409 and maintains ctg SC. So now I have the same code with 2 different categories (and one of them u2013 SC u2013 has an incorrect length).
Please let me know if you have this scenario and what you have done to solve it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi ,
I am also facing the same problem. The system not allowed saving the same EAN/UPC number for multiple SKUu2019s with varying number of leading zeros.
For example: UPC length 12 digits value like 085267207850 with EAN category Z3 and SCS length 14 digits value like 00085267207850 with EAN category Z5. The number is externally assigned. SAP does not let you enter these 2 codes in the master data. When you enter the second code, 00085267207850 and category Z5, SAP automatically changes it back to the first code 085267207850 and maintains category Z5. So now I have the same code with 2 different categories (and one of them u2013 Z5 u2013 has an incorrect length).
Could you please let me know what you have done to solve it.

GTIN & UPC Stored on the Material Master Configuration
Experts,
I am looking for a way to store the UPC code and the GTIN number on the material master in ECC. Like the EAN/UPC field I am looking to know if there is a way to have both the GTIN and the UPC field stored in the same field with SAP calulating the check digit and prefix. If not is there another field on the material master that I can store the value for the GTIN and have a way of storing the additional units of measure GTINs also. Any documentation around the storing of the GTIN / UPC would be appreciative.
Thanks!Hi
GTIN has existed for several years to allow packages of retail items to be identified without going to the detail
of EAN-128. GTIN is essentially prefix indicating package type and then EAN-13 or zero plus UCC-12 (with check digit recalculated)
See http://www.ean-int.org/products.html for more details
SAP does not seem to have defined a GTIN outside of MDM and CRM
We haven't implemented GTIN but do use EAN-13 and other EAN codes. For GTIN I would create a new EAN category as a copy of HE (EAN-13) and create a new EAN number range as 1001000000000 to 9999999999999 and assign the range to
the new EAN code. All this assumes you will assign your GTIN externally. The range copes with GTIN based on both EAN-13 and UCC-12 (=UPC). You see more EAN/UPC fields in material master additional data.

EAN/UPC CODE and PURCHASING GRID
Hi Experts,
In material master can you please let me know how to configure,
1) EAN/UPC Code configuration in Material Master
2) Purchasing grid
I need the info urgently.
Regards,
SubhaHi Subha,
1)The EAN/UPC's configuration is done in the path
SPRO>Logistics general>Material Master>Settings for key fields>Internal article numbers:
Here we can define external or internal number ranges for the EAN's.We can also define the prefix for EAN/UPCs and define the attributes of the EAN/UPCs.
2) Grids are used in AFS(Appearl and Footware system).There are material grid,purchase grid and sales grids in Appearl and footware industry.
We have to define Charecterstics and using them we have to define a grid(matrix type).While creating a material master this purchase grid has to be assigned in the AFSpurchasing view of the AFS material.
For example--Shirt(material)- Silk cloth white colour 40 size,Silk cloth golden colour 42 size,cotton cloth blue colour 40 size.Here cloth,colour,size are the 3 charecters.Using these 3 charecters a grid is created.This grid is assigned to the material.With this we can have n number of combinations for a single material.

Warehouse receiving using vendor EAN/UPC code
Is it possible to capture the vendor EAN/UPC code and use this information to receive the goods in the warehouse/plant?
First issue would be how to deal with duplicate vendor EAN/UPC.
I have seen many posts where it is possible in IS-AFS but has anyone done this in standard R/3?
ThanksYou can certainly search by EAN/UPC when performing GR with MIGO. Click on the binoculars and it's the fifth field available to search via.
So as long as you have the code set against the material master . . .

New Text in the Sales Text View in the Material Master
Hi All,
I want to create new text ID in the material master sales text tab
Can you please help me in how to create the new text for material master sales text tab view.
Regards
RajeshWell it may not be possible by standard SAP to create in Material.
AN alternative might be to use a standard text type and then call it in your Text Determination Procedure.
T-code "SO10" --> Give "Text Name & Text ID & Language --> Click at "Create" --> On next screen --> Go to (Menu) --> change editor --> Write the text which you want
Go to VOTXN , and maintain the required confirguation to get this standard Text copied to the material during order processing.
Regards

Availability Check Changed on the Material Master Update Existing Orders
I need to know if there is a way to update existing orders once changes have been made to the material. Currently the only way that I know of is to go into individual orders change the plant save then change it back to the original plant on the order then the changes take effect. How can I achieve this without touching every order individually. Is there something to mass update existing orders to take a new snapshot of the material master settings for a material.
Try with t.code VA05 - Open sales order list.
Execute this list. In the output, sort the data by plant. Then go to menu Edit -> mass change -> new plant. Change the plant for group of sales orders that have similar plants. Then again do the same thing to bring the previous plant in the sales orders.
This can help reduce the time instead of going one by one.

Currency in the Accounting View of the Material Master
Hi everyone!
The accounting tab/view in the Material Master has currency in the General Data tab. In our case, the currency is defaulted to PHP. I found the field in SPRO but it is non-configurable. Is there anyway I could it in other SPRO field so that I could configure it to changable currencies (for example, I wanted to change from PHP to USD, etc.)
Thank you so much.It will be Picked up From the Comp Code Currency..
As the Plant is assigned to Comp Code, when you create the Material for that Plant ..
It will pick up from the Comp Code Currency..
You can check Comp Code Currency in OBY6 trxn..

Hello,
With regards to the material master data:
(a) are there more views to a material that are dependent on the plant except for: 'costing', 'Forecasting', 'MRP', 'Production Resources/Tools', 'Purchasing',' Quality Management' and 'Sales'?
(b) why are they dependent at the plant?
(c) why does the basic data depends on the plant?Hi Shadmi!
Here is d answers,
a) are there more views to a material that are dependent on the plant except for: 'costing', 'Forecasting', 'MRP', 'Production Resources/Tools', 'Purchasing',' Quality Management' and 'Sales'?
--- Except Basic Data1 and Basic Data2 all other views are plant dependent.
(b) why are they dependent at the plant?
--- Because these datas may vary plant by plant. For example cost of material may change from plant to plant since it depends upon in which price the vendor is supplying to you.
(c) Why does the basic data depends on the plant?
--- Not at all. Basic data view is specific to company code level.

Label Data view in the material master
Hi all,
I read this SAP help portal that said "The Label Data view in the material master allows you to display or edit label data that is specific to the material. "..
may I know where I can find this view in the material master?
Thanks
KarenDear Karen,
This "Label Data" is one View in Material Master.
While creating the Material using T.Code MM01, when you are on the Selection screen of Various views, it is Last Option.
i.e. Lable Data
If this view is not there while creating the Material. then it is MM Configuration.
That view is assinged to Material Type.
See in Material Master, Industry Sector and Material Types controls these Views. So with the help of MM Consultnat you
have to get that View Configured to your Material Type.
If you find my answer satisfactory, please grant me the points.

Hi all,
can u pls give the global structure for Upload the material master (All Views Should Be Covered).
Regards,
ravi.hi,
Please go to TCODE SHDB.
Create a new recording with any zname and enter the tcode in the tcode field.
Now it will record all the screens which you encounter during a record creation.
Once it is done, it will take you to the recorded data. Save and come back.
Now select the recording and click on program which creates a program for your recording.
you have 2 options one for transfering from file and one for transfer from recording.
if you use the file options then it will create the internal table with the fields .
incase of tranfer from the recording then it will directly puts the recorded valus which are to be replaced by creating an internal table and replacing the recorded values with the workareas.
Make necessary changes in the code which was generated automaticallly.
hope this is clear.
Thanks and regards. -
Unspsc code configuration in Material master
Hi Guru's,
My client has using UNSPSC code heirarchy in the material master.
There are four levels of heirarchy. I configured in the classification view of the material master accordingly to the heirarchy. Now I need to genarate a report based on the material group and that report should pull the characterstic and its value correctly at a specified heirarchy level.
Is there any standard report to pull the heirarchy level for the material group?
How can I achieve this
Appreciate all the help
Rrds,
ShivaHello Shiva,
I'm looking for exactly what you stated above ( 2 years ago... ), but I'm a step behind you.
Can you refer me to configuration doc for setting up material master based on UNSPSC code hierarchy? Do you do this through WG21, entering commodity level in Material group and then Class/Family/Segment in MG Hierarchy level field ?
Also, did you find or receive any guidance on standard report to pull hierarchy level for material group ?
Any guidance on this is much appreciated.
