Forecast settings in the Material Master

Hello gurus
We want to set the forecast model as X ( Seasonal and trend ) and  Model Selectionu2014u2018 as Au201D We are getting error message as  A is not relevant for this model . Where to do the relevent config .
Please advice where to do the config for the number ranges for the alpha/beta/ factor in the settings
Thanks
JJ

Dear,
I didn't get your requirement. The system first calculates the basic value on the basis of historical data and then updates this value at the end of every period using the alpha factor.
The forecast profiles in SOP are different than those in the material master. In SOP, you can use one forecast profile to forecast a whole group of materials. In the material master, each material has its own forecast profile.
In MC88, enter the material number and plant and select version
For that varsion copy sales plan from the followinbg menu
Edit >create sales plan>Forecast
Copy sales plan to ptoduction plan
Edit>create production plan>sycronous to sales
Hope it will help you.

  • Error while creatting the Material Master IDOC in ERP 2005

    Hello All,
    I am trying to create scenario from RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing - Conf Guide (SAP AII 4.0).
    I am using Auto ID 4.0 on a NW04s system. The backend is a ERP2005 system.
    The scenario requires that I need to create a material in the backend and send it to the NW04s system using IDOCs.
    After completing the configuration on the backend, I tried sending the Material Master IDOC to Auto ID from the transaction AIDMM. I get a message that IDOC is just being created. But I could not find it in the transaction WE02.
    On debugging I found that the function MARD_GENERIC_READ_MATNR_PLANT resulted in error.
    Thanks for any kind of input.

    Dear,
    Check ABAPer for file settings.
    - CANNOT_SKIP_ATTRIBUTE_RECORD : The attributes could not be read in the EPS parcel. The file cannot be opened for reading, because it may have been deleted in the meantime.
    - CANNOT_DETERMINE_EPS_PARCEL : The EPS parcel is not in the EPS Inbox, because it may have been deleted. You must download the relevant patch again (for example, Hot Package).
    - CANNOT_DETERMINE_DATA_FILES : The name of a data file could not be determined, because a profile parameter was not correctly configured. Check the settings using the report RSPARAM.
    - CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE : An R3trans data file could not be unpacked. A possible error source is that the relevant EPS parcel was not found. The data file could not be opened for writing. An error occurred when transmitting a 20K block from the EPS Inbox to the directory /usr/sap/trans/data (UNIX).
    - CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE : An ADO data file could not be unpacked. The reasons are the same as with the message CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE .
    - CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE : The cofile could not be created from the relevant data file. One possible error source is that <sys>adm does not have write authorization for the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles (UNIX).

  • Update of cost in the material master

    Hi all,
    From the purchasing point of view,In the normal process Cost in the Material master gets updated from purchasing documnents automatically.In this case,manually if the cost is changed in the purchase order affects the cost in the material master.My requirement is this should be done automatically after receiving the vendors confirmation of list of material costs.There may be chance of change in the cost of the materials.so the costs of the materials which were changed should get updated in the material master automatically(VPRS).
    Ie changing of the costs of the materials in the purchase order should be reduced .How this will done??
    If we have more than 2000 line items in the purchase order,it will be quite little bit difficult to update each material cost in the purchase order .
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards...VM

    Hi,
    Normally material will be valuated with two types of price controls S -standard price and V-moving avaerage price.
    A std price as its name indicated it is std and will not chnage.
    A moving average price will chnage accordingly with the change in the material price.
    Normally it will be better create a info record for the material and vendor combination for the plant or purchase organisation with a info update indicator in the purchase order will serve your pupose .
    With the proper settings at SPRO system creates info record during creation of PO if it does not exist or updates the existing record if it has one with the latest price details in the form of last purchasing document so that these details get defaulted during creation of PO.
    However you can create a outline aggrement so that a PO can be created with reference to that.
    Or you can create a condition record for the price for your combination so that it can get defaulted.
    The price which is there in PO will not be defaulted to material master.
    Or time to time you can review the prices and maintain via MR21.

  • 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.

  • Screen Level Security for the Material Master

    We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
    Thanks!

    Janet,
    It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed.  You really should consult your local authorization expert.
    The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA.  It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system.  You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
    You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object.  You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
    Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
    M_MATE_STA
    Definition
    Maintenance status authorization for material master records
    The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
    This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                    Note                                                                      
    To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
    Defined Fields
    Fields               Possible values      Meaning
    ACTVT                01                   User may create data.
                         02                   User may change data.
                         03                   User may display data.
                         06                   User may flag data for deletion.                       
                         08                   User may display change documents. 
    STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.         
    The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
    User department                Maintenance status
    Work scheduling                   A
    Accounting                        B
    Classification                    C
    MRP                               D
    Purchasing                        E
    Production resources/tools        F
    Costing                           G
    Basic data                        K
    Storage                           L
    Forecasting                       P
    Quality management                Q
    Warehouse management              S
    Sales                             V
    Plant stocks                      X
    Storage location stocks           Z
    Notes
    This authorization object also determines:
    o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
    -   01 to create
    -   02 to change or delete
    -   03 to display
    The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
    o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

  • Picking Area in the material master is GRAY

    Hi,
    If I maintain a material master manually by tcode MM01, the picking area in the WM view is not gray (changeable) when I try to change it again via tcode MM02;
    but if I create the data with LSMW, the filed is gray when I try to change it via MM02.
    Kindly please advise what the reason is.

    I am handig Data migration project.
    This is related to Product Hirerarchy.
    I one business Product Hirerarchy have been configured. But in another buisiness, Product Hirerarchy has not been configured.
    There are some common materials using by both business processes.
    For coomon mateials  if I am maintaining Product Hirerarchy value in the material master record, is there any impact on business which is not being used Product Hirerarchy. Whether it will stop / impact on business processes.
    Can you explain plz
    Thanks in advance

    Hi karthink,
    Thanks for your inputs.
    we are meging two servers. In that in one server, product highrechy have been configuredand in another server not configured.
    There are some materials with the numbers calling as a common parts exists in both servers.
    ex: plat 0001 in one server 1         &          plant 0002 in server2
    Common part is : m1
    plant 0001  not using product hierarchy and plant 0002 not using product hierarchy,.
    After golive, all the common parts are being used by both plants and same basic data 1 view.
    If we are maintaing product hierarchy in the basic data 1 view, it will flow into sales view as well.
    Then what about impact on the plant 0001 business since it is not using product hierarchy.
    In the configuration, is there any settings to activate / deactive product hierarchy at sales area level.
    Is there any impact on MM / FICO side.
    Please explain.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

  • View's in the Material Master

    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.

  • Attaching u0093material photou0094 on the user tab of the material master transacti

    All,
    We are exploring a solution for attaching “material photo” on the user tab of the material master transactions - MM01/MM02/MM03 in ECC6.0.
    Please review the questions outlined below from the client -
    - Is it feasible to attach a “photo” of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
    - What’s the performance impact on the online transaction?
    - What’s the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
    - Where and how is the “gif or jpg” image of the material stored?  As a file on UNIX?
    - Can a small “photo area” be added user tab?
    - Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
    - How much of time would something like this require to setup?
    If anyone has worked on similar requirements, request you to respond at the earliest.
    Regards
    Deepthi.

    Hi Deepthi,
    - Is it feasible to attach a “photo” of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
    Yes its feasible
    - What’s the performance impact on the online transaction?
    There would definitely be impact on performance. The impact would depend on the Size of the Image file to be uploaded. So you need to do a performance analysis for various Size of Image file & select the one which doesn’t have much impact on performance & also has a good quality resolution of image
    - What’s the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
    SAP as such wont have any impact except the additional space required to store the images
    - Where and how is the “gif or jpg” image of the material stored?  As a file on UNIX?
    You can store it using transaction SMW0
    - Can a small “photo area” be added user tab?
    Programmatically yes. It would be a custom container in which you would be uploading the photo
    - Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
    No idea whether it can be achieved through some config. Settings.
    Programmatically it’s possible. Yes, it requires extensive programming. You need to maintain a table with Material No. & photo name. Accordingly you need to build the logic to upload the image. This works mostly on the Class CL_GUI_PICTURE & its methods.
    Sample programs
    SAP_PICTURE_DEMO
    SAP_PICTURE_DEMO_ICON
    RSDEMO_PICTURE_CONTROL
    - How much of time would something like this require to setup?
    Well if the image size is defined, then it should take max. 15 working days to develop the same
    Best regards,
    Prashant

  • 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
    Rajesh

    Well 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.

    Dear Deepak,
    there is standard direct upload i believe
    go to lsmw
    Execute 1st option
    then inLSMW:Object Attribute screen
    in standard batch/ direct input
    firsr radio button
    select object 005
    and method 003
    Program name RSTXLITF.
    Then go by normal process i.e source field , field mapping...
    In this way u can also upload Text in the Material master.

  • Open field for cost center on the material master

    We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere.  Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often.  We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance).  I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
    Thanks

    Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
    Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
    Can you elaborate the requirement?
    After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.
