Dear Gurus,

But i want to keep the number of Days fixed in Material Master for the Safety Stock. So that if my consumption varies, my Stock Quantity for Safety automatically updated.

How to calcuate the number of days

Hi Friends,
can some one help me out .. how to dispaly the number of days depending upon the from and to date selected by the user.
eg :-
there is one self service form.. in which three fields are there, they are 1) From date
2) To date
3) No of days
now my requirement is, user selects from date and to date and i need to calculate the number of days he is selected and display in No of days field. can some one help me out logic for this.
how to retrive from date and to date dynamically to my function.
apart from writing function .. can we use $FLEX$ becoz two dates are valuesets.
seeking for a solution,
thanks in advance

This doesn't sound like something that will be easy to do.
A few questions:
1) What flexfield are you referring to?
2) What Self Service page?
3) Can the 'No of days' ALWAYS be calculated? Or do you just want to default it so the user can modify it?

Maximum number of fields in material master

Hi,
Could you please help to understand how many fields can be added in material master Tab.
Example - If we create new material master tab as additional data and would like to add some fileds in that tab, is there a limit we can't add more than certain number of fields.
Please advise how many cloumns can be added as well in one tab.
Example
Material master additional data Tab (New)
feild 1 description field 4 description field 7 ......
field 2 description field 5 description field 8 ......
field3 description field6 description field 9 ........
I think the fields should be assigned to feild selection group which is reserved as for Z fields
Please confirm if my understanding correct for Z fileds
211-240 Reserved for customers
As I think only 20 field can be assigned to field selection group but My question is can we assign more than one filed selection group to one material master tab. I mean to increase the number of field to be added in new additional data tab can we add 111-120 Reserved for customers and 211-240 Reserved for customers to one material master additional data tab.
Thanks

Hi,
For add fields to material master, check Note 44410 - Integrating cust.-specific fields in matl master (and related notes).
Other note useful to understand the range of customer names in SAP: SAP Note 16466 - Customer name range for SAP objects.
I hope this helps you. If you need something else, let me know.

Maintaining Numeric Values in Alphanumeric field of Material Master

Hello Everyone!
Currently we are in midst of an SAP Project implementation. The problem arising is that we are using External Number for material codes which has already been used by the business in the legacy system. So the material code field has been set to Alphanumeric data type.
During the data upload of material master a problem has been identified that some of the material codes that needs to be uploaded are number in nature or start with a numeral e.g 1234-5674-9, 1234-9876-D. While creating them the system generates the following error.
Number 1234-5674-9 not defined for material type ICI PNT - Trading Goods
Message no. M3318
Diagnosis
Every material type has a speific number range for external number assignment. The material number you have entered does not lie within the number range for this material type.
Procedure
Choose a material number that lies within the number range of your material type.
Is there a way through which we can maintain such external numbers with Alphanumeric field.
- Best Regards

Hi Khalid,
You assign as follows for external number range to your group
From Number                                      to Number                                                                                EXT
A                                                         ZZZZZZZZ( enter the number
                                                                characters( Z) as required for your client)                                    Tick the Ext box
By this setting you can assign ALPHA NUMERICAL external numbers
Cheers

Hi Chetan,
Use material type HERS.

Create material master records
If you work with MPNs, the number of manufacturers of a manufactured part corresponding to one of your firmu2019s own materials determines the number of material master records you have to create:
If there is just one MPN corresponding to one of your firmu2019s own materials, you can enter it and the manufacturer directly in the master record for your own material. In this case, you need not create an MPN Material.
If there are several MPN materials corresponding to one of your firmu2019s own materials, you must create MPN material master records with the material type HERS. In the Purchasing view, enter the manufacturer part number, the manufacturer (this can be either a vendor master record or a manufacturer master record), and your firmu2019s own, inventory-managed material.
The MPN material master records are assigned to your firmu2019s own material. Stocks are managed with respect to the firmu2019s own material.
0.8 cm steel bolts with a diameter of 0.5 cm are identified and stocked in your enterprise as the firmu2019s own, inventory-managed material RAW_S_08.
The manufacturer Meyer & Co. sells these bolts under the number 8001 (the manufacturer part number). This information is stored in the MPN material master record S_MEYER.
The manufacturer Smith Corp. supplies similar bolts under the number 4711. This information is stored in the MPN material master record S_SMITH.
The MPN material master records S_MEYER and S_ SMITH are assigned to the material master record RAW_S_08.
Hope it helps

Add z field in material master at plant level

I wanna to assign a new field in material master at plant level..
What settings should be done to do this?
Positive response will be highly appreciated.
Regards

hi,
You can define the field directly via assigning the field to field selection group...This could also be done at industry sector, plant level as well....
Check the path :
SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign fields to field selection group...
SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign field at plant
SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign fields at industry sector level...
For this assign the field to the respective table and then provide it at OMSR...
Assign field selection group to it...
Then in OMS9 give the priority for hide/display/req/optional to field...
If you want this to be added in the new screen, then you have to make the settings under "configure the material master"...
Hope it helps..

Hello Gurus,
The transportation group field in material master is Material specific or a plant specific?? caz whenever i am changing this transportation group field in one plant it is also updating with the same value in all the plant for the common material even though the Company code and Country are different forall the plants.
Hope to hear from you soon as its a very high priority production issue..

Its material specific. Even if you have multiple sales areas or plants and if you change the transportation group, the change will be applicable for those areas also.

execute OMSR,
position on field MARA-WRKST
click the button field selection right of selection group
you will now see which fields are assigned to the group
and below you see in in which field reference the group is set to hidden.
field reference is a multi usage, it can be for material type, for transaction, for industry .
so you have to check at least the settings for your material, for the transaction where you get this effect and for the industry you material is created with.
further there is a customizing transaction OMSA, which is plant specific field selection, and I guess that causes your effect.
open it and see which selection group is assigned to it.
then go back to OMSR and see what status is assigned to this field reference.
