Help: Additiional Material Type

Hi MM Functional,
I'm an abapper and we don't have functional to consult with. Here's my client's requirement.
Current scenario: Item category TAN is assigned to any materials including asphalt.
Requirement: My client wanted to separate Asphalt to other material because of the check overdelivery. He also wanted to have an automatic Item category defined when creating sales order once the material has been defined.
For example, if he input Asphalt in the Material field, automatic the Item Cat is ZTAN. If Material ABC is defined, the Item Cat is TAN. And if Free item material, it is TANN.
According from the SD functional, I should create another Item category group, a duplicate of NORM for ZTAN. set ztan as default Item category. I was thinking how will the material will know if it is znorm or norm.
Question in MM:  I'm using SAP 4.0, Is there a field in MAterial Master(MM03) that defines Item Category Group? So I could change Item cat group of Asphalt. OR>ZNOR>ZTAN
Or it would be better if I will add material group for Asphalt.
So instead of HAWA, It would be ZHAW> ZNOR>ZTAN(Default Item Cat)> TAN(Manual Item Cat)
Points will be given. Need your help... thanks!

Dear Maniyar,
Like every son has his own father, likewise every material has his own identity i.e is material type.
Material types Determines
When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
configurable material or process material
internally or externally
The number range
Which screens appear and in what sequence
Which departmental data you may enter
What procurement type the material has i.e. in-house/external
Together with plants it determines either quantity related update in Material Master/Stocks Account
Moreover, Account effected by entering or leaving warehouse totally dependent on material types.

  • Need Help regarding which Material Type to use for the Scenario

    Hi,
    Here we are configuring the service scenario.
    Suppose Electric Switch of customer flat is not working.
    Here in this case I will purchase the switch. And along with service order
    I will do the delivery of the Material. Then will raise the Invoice to the customer
    with service charge as well as material cost.
    Here I will have to run the MRP also for that material  to raise the PR if stock goes below
    the reorder point.
    So I will have to maintain the Purchase view, Sales View & MRP view to that Material.
    So in this case which standard material Type can I use for this material? Or I have to create
    our own material Type for this material.
    Regards,
    Pradip

    ROH is usually a material type that is supposed to be consumed in production.
    HALB is a semifinished good, own produced and meant to consumed in production.
    Both are usually not forseen to be sold.
    A material that you buy yourself and sell to a customer is a trading good, which is HAWA in SAP.

  • Material type not getting displayed in the cube........

    Hi,
    In my infocube material type for one of the material is not getting displayed.
    When I check in the content of the cube for this material all the fileds are getting displayed except material type.
    However it is present in the material master data from which it is put into the update rules to populate in the cube.
    Its getting displayed for some other materials , so we cant say that mapping is wrong or problem with update rules.
    Can some body let me know what could be the reason.
    Thanks,
    Jeetu

    Hi Jeetu,
    can you check in your cube if you have for one material, entries with AND entries without the MATL_TYPE? If this is the case then you were loading transactional data before having the corresponding material master data.
    You should adapt your scenario:
    - first do not use the standard attribute derivation during your URules: performance is very bad.
    - implement a start routine filling an internal table with your material and MATL_TYPE for all entries of material in your datapackage.
    - implement an update routine on the MATL_TYPE with a READ on this internal table an raise an ABORT = 4 if the MATL_TYPE is initial or the material in not found.
    Now to fix your situation you'll have to reload your cube or alternatively just reload your missing MATL_TYPE MATERIAL from your cube itself and selective delete those which are empty.
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • SAP report for movement type and material type

    Hi!
    I would like to use a standard SAP report to give me a list of all the movement types (much like MB51) but instead of material I would like to select on Material type e.g. ROH. The result should for example be a list of the movement types 501 on material type ROH.
    It is urgent, if you could help me I would be very greatful!
    Sincerely
    Anders Öhrling

    Thanks for your answer!
    I have managed to join the two tables and created a report that will work, except that the amounts in local currency that is given by movement type 201 is not negative (as in MB51). I need all movement types that generate a debit must be shown as a negative value. Wo when I summarize all the movement types I end up with the value of 101 minus 201.
    Is that possible without ABAP programming?
    Sincerely Anders Öhrling

  • Hide views in MM01 for all material type in one time

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to hide the views for all material type at at time.
    i tried with OMS2 , it is allowing me to do for one matrial type.
    could any one tell me how to hide the views for all material type in one short.
    Thanks in adv..

    Hi Rakesh,
    Up to my knowledge it is not possible to do view setting for all material type in one shot simply because it is material type dependent.
    If trying to change fields in material master then use OMS9. This also material type linked to field reference group. And we can change the setting of field selection group in one shot. This will affect the material types linked to it.
    Hope it helps

  • Material type and account assignment group relation

    Hi,
    Getting an error while creating material master save. Account assignment Zx can't be with Material Type Zxxxx.
    Please advise where is the link maintained between material account assignment group and material type.
    My material is Z service material.
    As I no for plant,industry, material type valuation class quanity update tick required but that is for stockable materials which is not the case above.
    Thanks

    HI,
    You can make the field Account Assignment Group of Material Master as inactive.
    But it depends up on Plant, Industry Sector Type and Material Type.
    You can do this in IMG --> Logistic General --> Material Master --> Field Selection
    Or
    use SHD0.. give T-code MM01. and you can deactivate the field.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Urgent:Material Type for Packaging Material in WM and MM

    Hi
    There is a place in SPRO where i can define the material type for packaging.
    Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management -> Basics -> Define Packaging Material Types
    How can i create a material using this material type? What is the use of material type here?
    Whenever i create material in MM01/MM41, i get the standard material type list.
    Thanks & REgards
    Kapil

    Hi,
    In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
    What is the use of material type here?
    With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
    master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
    mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
    ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
    product,etc.,
    It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
    To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
    Step-1
    Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
    Enter Industry Sector: ...................
    Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
    Step-2
    Select
    Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
    Step-3
    Enter Plant,
    Enter Storage location
    {{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
    Step-4
    You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
    Step-5
    Save.
    Note: Before creation material you must know which Industry Sector, Material Type ur going to use and material numbering is internal or external.

  • How to shift valuation class from one material type to another material type ?

    I have came across following weird scenario:
    We already created huge no.of materials of material type say ZABC with two valuation classes say 1100 and 1200(GL accounts for these VCs for different posting keys in OBYC settings are same). Account category reference for this material type is 0010.
    After that we created new material type say ZPQR  with new Account category reference 0025, and valuation class 1200 is linked with this ACR 0025. Because of this, valuation class 1200 disappeared from material type ZABC. In order to avoid inconsistency, we need to have valuation class 1200 linked with older material type i.e.ZABC.How we can do this ? What impacts must have happened in this period (from MM/FI) in the system, where valuation class get shifted from one material type(ZABC) to another material type(ZPQR)....please help us in this scenario.

    Thanks Sana,
    We are also looking for the solution provided by you i.e. reassign ACR 0010 to Valuation class 1200.
    Your are also correct in terms of  statement "config doesnt allow me to assign same valuation class to 2 different AREF (Account reference number/Account category reference).
    I wanted to know, what are the possible impacts in the system during this re-assignment of ACR to old material type ZABC.

    Vinith,
    I have explained in great detail exactly what you need to do at every stage.  The steps I have outlined are the same that I follow every time that I want to apply material type restrictions. 
    I strongly recommend that you contact your security admin to help with this, alternatively engage the services of a trained/experienced security admin who can come on site and go through this with you. 
    If you have done the following then it will work:
    1. Assign auth group to material type via OMS2
    2. Verified that check for M_MATE_MAR is active
    3. Ensured that M_MATE_MAR does not contain the auth group/s which you assigned via OMS2 (that includes *)
    This is the last comment I will make on this topic.
    Cheers

    You have to make few configuration settings before you actually restrict at the object level. The solution is clearly discussed in the below thread:

  • Use of different material types

    Hi Experts ,
    My client is thinking of expansion of its plant . This new plant would be copy of their already existing plant at another location . Now some of materials for manufacturing finish materials are same in both plants but they both use different material types . That is here there is only one mat type where there they use 4 mat types .
    Now do I need to create new plant here or I can use the same existing plant for creation of new materials ? If I want to use the same plant then would be the effect on valuation of mat. Can these mat with different mat types be transported successfully ?

    Hi Neal,
    So you did enjoy your weekend!!! Good good; well you go to IMG ( SPRO ) and on to ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE >> ASSIGNMENT >> LOGISTICS EXECUTION; and just in case you miss out the warehouse number, ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE >> DEFINITION >> LOGISTICS EXECUTION . You will find the links there. Unfortunately I created a screenshot for you but I just do not know how to attach it.
    The list I was talking about was MRP List or Stock overview list ( MD05 / MD04 ). There are two more transactions that I think might come in handy. Check them out:
    LS26 - stock overview of warehouse.
    LL01 - warehouse activity monitor.
    Since the plant and warehouse will be linked, I guess there would be no discrimination on checking stock but I am pretty sure system checks warehouse stock first. That is the entire procedure. I hope it helps. Do reward points if I was able to answer your query.
