Error in Purchasing tab of Material Master (MM02)

When we select views, Basic Data 1, 2 & Purchasing in MM02, it is
giving an error
"Maintenance status of field MARA-LABOR does not correspond to status
of screen E Message no. M3826 "
One point, which we want to highlight, that this error is coming only
with some user ids only. Authorisation is also ok. what could be the
problem ?. we have checked all possible defaults & user parameters, but
we are not getting any clue. Pl. resolve ...
thanks
amit

Hi Amit,
MARA-LABOR represents for Laboratory/design office. Therefore you have to check following customization settings in your system;
(a) Goto transaction code OMS9
(b) Enter 10 in Field Sel. Group
(c) Select your Material Type
(d) Make it Optional Entry
Bye,

Unable to view the MRP1 tab in Material master MM02

Hi all
In Material master some of one of the material i am able to view the MRP1 and MRP2 at the same time some of the other material I am unable to view the MRP1. Please help me to find out the root cause of the problem.
I want to view the MRP1 for other material.
Note: Purchasing group, Valuation class, Material Group are same for all the material.
Regards
K.Gunasekar

HI,
Whenever you create a material master record, you assign it to a material type. MRP1, MRP2 These attributes you will define of each material.
The material type for which you want to define MRP, Run Tcode OMS2, Select the appropriate material type from Dialog Structure and click on details Icon, In the User Departments Field select MRP and Save.
Next Time when you will create material using that Material type it will come automatically.

Error with Valuation Category in Accounting 1 Tab of Material Master

Dear All,
I have created plant and also activated the "Split Activation" for that plant through SPRO-MM-Valuation & A/c Assignment ---Split valuation.
But when i Extend the material form another plant the "Valuation Category" field in Accounting 1 Tab of Material Master becomes INACTIVE (i.e. it becomes gray). Where as for the plant (from which i am copying the material) the same field is ACTIVE.
Please suggest me what might be the error.
I have checked the setting for both the plants i.e. in which it is working and the other where it is not working. The settings are same.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shailendra
If this is for a single material.
I hope u r using MM01 only by giving reference of existing mat., in this case, at this stage only you have to maintain Valuation Category.
Once the material is created, the field will become gray.
This is what I know. If still, there is any way to make this field active, if u come to know, please let me know too.

Significance of purchasing view in Material master

Hi,
What is the significance of purchasing view in Material master.
What could be effect if this view is not maintained?
Like for material type FERT there is no Purchasing view, but we can do procurement for FERT items.
So what is the significance of purchasing view in Material master?
Uts

Hi,
I cant Agree your statement,because for the Purchasing Activities it is mandatory that you Maintain the Purchasing view of the Material.
it Gives a error ..material not maintained by Purchasing.
Material XXXXXX not maintained by Purchasing
Message no. ME046
For Inhouse Production through Quota arrangement,it can be optional.
but for the remaining cases ,it is Mandatory.
and the Material type your are speaking is FERT.which is standard material type for Finished products.
if you are having External Procuremnt 100% sure it would be having Purchasing Tab activated .
if not so that,if it is a inhouse production.
check it in OMS2 ..for clear information

Foreign Trade Import/Export Tab in Material Master of SAP R/3

Hi
What is the use of Foreign Trade Import/Export Tab in material master of SAP R/3

Hi Akhil ..
Sounds like you need to enrol for the SAP Foreign Trade training course!
The tab holds various attributes for determining Foreign Trade data - for example the Customs classification and Country of Origin. Those data are used to determine and/or populate fields in the Foreign Trade data when processing MM and SD documents.
Some, but not all, of the fields in that tab become redundant if GTS is in use.
If you have more specific questions in this area, it might be easier to give better explanations.

LSMW-Error during processing of BDC session change to material master MM02

I have created an LSMW for changing material master data. I recorded MM02 and using the "select views" screen selected the accounting 2 view and entered the information in the fields on that screen requiring changes. I've set up all of the technical screens for the LSMW. However, when I process the BDC session with "display errors only", the program stops at the select view screen with an error message "Select at least one view". Any ideas how I can process through this screen so that the Accounting 2 screen opens in the BDC session? One further note, I set that selection as a constant in the field mapping and conversion rules screen. The field name recorded as KZSEL_05.

hi
one question how did you choose the view? i mean to ask by scrolling down using mouse or page down.
the scrolling by mouse is not recognized by recording and that may be the error. so whenever you have to go down in screen please use page down not scrolling at least in LSMW.

Purchasing document without material master

Hi All ,
I was reading one document (MM-IM) .. there it is mentioned that
"The purchasing department can also order materials or services for which no material master record is defined. These are usually materials or services that are only purchased once (for example, material for paving a parking lot). The Purchasing department uses a text to describe the materials that do not have a material number and assigns materials to a material group, both of which are entered in the purchase order. These materials are not included in stock; instead, when they are received, they are posted to consumption."
To understand this functionality , I did create one PO item with ITEM CATEGORY T ( not sure !!!!! ) and maintained short text against it.The purchase Order type is "Standard PO"
But when i am trying to make a GR agst it , system is prompting an error " No Item available" .....
Just wondering what should be the correct process for it.
Can anyone pls help me
Regards/SANDEEP

Hi,
Instead of T item category that you have done pl arrange to give the Account assignment say 'K' or 'F' or 'A' etc,.
This means that the Value of goods hit the consumptio account directly.
Similarly, Material which has or does'nt have a material code may be procured for Direct Consumption(as above).
Hence the procurement made against a Material with only short text requires Account Assignment.
I think with the above you will be in a place to post the same.
In case of any further issues ,Pl post with details of Account assignment & the GR/IR Control.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan

About Error in Assigning Characterstics in Material Master

HI
This is lingaraj khilar.I am facing the problem in assigning characteristics in material master.I have created batch classification for a raw material.After assigning the classification when i am gng to assign characterstics it has shown the error "Characteristic AGI_CAST_PC cannot be used for proportion or product units"
with Message No Message no. LB123.Here AGi_CAST is classification.So I want to revert back with solution.
Regards
Lingaraj Khilar

Hi,
I believe that you are trying to use the classification functionality in your material, fine
find the procedure and cross chekc whether you have used the same.
1. Define the charateristics and assign the value to it.
2. Define the class with class type 001.
3. Assign the charateristics tothe class.
4. use MM01/MM02> Classification--> Assign class Etc.
hope it helps..

Goods receipt reference to Purchase Order non-material master items

Dear all,
Platform: SAP R/3 4.7
I'm working in my customer environment whereby the purchasing scenario is as follows:
1. Create a normal PR me51n -. enter material description for the item to purchase, qty, price, plant and etc. My customer doesn't maintain material master for their items.
2. Create a normal PO me21n with reference to the PR. The information from the PR is automatically copied to the PO.
3. They receive the physical item and now it's time to perform GR.
My question:
Can I perform GR with reference to PO since the item in the PO is not from the material master, meaning there's no material # maintained for that item? I'd like to record the items ordered into the plant.
Thanks.
Steven

Hi Shubham,
"Hi,
Yes always you can make GR against of PO irrespective of material master maintained or short desription, which is commonly called non codified material.
Ccan be procuured against Account assignment ( cost center) which have to eneter in PR/PO in the account column then material group, which is mandatory field with this G/R/IR clearing account will get triggered during GR which is debit entry & GL which is maintained in the PO with the combnination of cost ceneter will be the Cr entry. Hope this helps you."
I'm still kind of confused. Normally, if a material master is maintained for an item, under accounting 1 view, we assign a valuation class. During GR, it will hit transaction key in OBYC - BSX and the system will be able to locate the corresponding GL account # mapped to that valuation class in the material master.
Now, for this "non codified material" you mentioned, how does the R/3 know which GL to assign? There's no accounting view for it since it's just a text description. This is where I'm really confused.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I would like to know am using strategy 52 for this FG, so that i can have option to procure order specific components after sales order arrival, and components which are not specific to the order can be procured before sales order arrival. Where am confused is if am planning with FG1 i.e. am entering PIR for FG1 and am procuring order independent components before sales order arrival and suppose if the sales order arrives for FG2 for which components i have procured before sales order arrival is same but the remaining components which are order specific are different from that of FG1, then how the MRP shall behave. How the requirement for the FG2 shall be met. Kindly throw some light on this scenario.
Expecting a positive and prompt response.
