Can you close Material Codes/Groups which have not been used for a while?

Is it possible to close material codes/groups when they are no longer required? This would be similar to putting a date on Cost Centres in finance which then restrict the availability of use.

before putting deletion flag please be sure the stock in those material is ZERO
now rather than using MM06 use
WSE1
here you can block n put deletion flag for material
and to remove deletion flag use
WSE8

Restructuring projects
Every company is subject to changing underlying conditions. Regardless of whether the influences are internal or external, each organizational change makes it necessary to modify IT systems. Amongst other things, changes can result from redefining internal organizational structures, spinning off parts of a company, acquiring other companies, having to harmonize data, or restructuring the IT landscape.
In live SAP systems, this gives rise to tasks such as the following:
§ Changing numbering systems (e.g. chart of accounts, material numbers, customer numbers, and vendor numbers) or key terms (e.g. the names of company codes, plant, or business areas)
§ Changing structures: combining or separating company codes or controlling areas
§ Combining or separating SAP systems
We are a partner of SAP SLO (System Landscape Optimization) and would be pleased to share with you our expertise - in terms of both drawing up a concept and technically implementing such restructuring measures in your SAP system.
Based on the organizational and commercial specifications of our customers, we analyze existing data, pick out suitable conversion tools, and adjust them to meet the specific needs of the project.
Migration projects
One of the most important steps towards operating your IT system successfully is to migrate your data quickly and reliably.

It is also necessary to migrate data during upgrades in SAP systems that are already up and running. SAP SI is one of the most experienced SAP specialists in this field. Our migration experts played a key role in developing the SAP migration tools and have already implemented countless projects successfully.

How to make material code field mandatory in VA01

Dear all,
I want to make material code field mandatory while creating sales order (VA01). As of now even if I dont enter material code , and just enter customer code and P.O. number , I am able to save my sales order.
I tried to do it with incompletion log , but could not succeed.
SHD0 could be an option, is there any simpler way out ?
Please suggest.
Regards,

Hi,
You have 2 options.
1 - Incompletion Log
If you add Material filed to your incompletion log, then when you try to save the sales order it'll give the "Save / Edit" pop up message. But then by pressing Save button you can save the sales order.
If you want to avoid that pop up; do this. (To avoid user saving Incomplete sales orders)
Go to VOV8 Tx.
Go in to your sales document type
Under "Transaction flow" section mark the "IIncompletion messages" tick box
Then try with a new sales order without a material number
If won't give that pop up message any more where as it'll always go in to the incompletion log. So you can't save it without maintaining the material.
That's a alternative way of doing.
2- SHD0.
Best regards,
Anupa

How to define material code

our's is a valve mfg co. We are planning to go for sap. In sap Max length of material code is 18 and description is 40. But our existing material code maximum length is 25 and description length is 120.
I want to know, Is there any other way that they will going to handle these type of material code and description.

Yes that right the MARA-MATNR field is restricted to be 18 chars long. But this is a really big number as slong as you will not hide information into the number.
The automative solution has a long material number, where a recalculation between a 18 digit to 40 digit will be done. Please check Service portal for this lonng material number solution.
The field MAKT-MAKTX has 40 chararacters and represents a SHORT text.
120 characters is very long. You can try to change the valid lenght as modification in SE11 on the data element.
As a result you can enter up to 120 characters, but in most UIs the display will be cutted, but scrollable.
This is a modification.
But see we hav also a long text field for basic data text in the master data view.

Hi,
to start with you have to know some basic things, like if the material is for procurement then you enter as follows :
1. Material No' - Whether internal or external, give as set.
2. Industry Sector :- what kind of industry sector for the material.
3. Material type :- whether raw material or semi-finished, etc.
4. Select views :- Basic views required are Basic Data, Purchasing, Plant and Storage, Accounting1 and if subjected to MRP, select MRP view 1,2.
5. Specify your plant / storage loc'n in Organizational details.
6. Basic data - give Desc and various basic parameters for the material.
7. Accounting view - get the valuation class for your material type from FICO and enter the class. Also select valuation price either S or V depending on your requirement.
8. MRP view give the type of MRP you are using usually it will be manual re-order Pt plgg, Ro-order Point, MRP Controller for your plant, Lot size details.
Hope this will give you some idea for MM Rec creation.

How can we use same material code for two different sales area

Hello friendsu2026
Hope you all doing well
I am facing a problem and I will be thankful to all of you, for your suggestions
Issue:
I have a *material created in 3000/10/19 for domestic purpose *,now our company has decided to export it for that we have created a new sales are 3000/13/20 for export,we cannot create the salesa are as 3000/13/19 due to some company issues,
Is there any way how I can use the material already in 3000/10/19 into new sales area 3000/13/20.
Will common distribution channel and division concept will be applicable here
As the material is same,and we donu2019t want to go for any more new material code. *
Thanks
Siddharth Sharma

Hi Sharma,
when a material is used in domestic and exports.....i hope it should be seggreagated based on dist chnl.......but not division.
because material is Division specific. it can be there in only one division. like mother child relation.
that is the reason why...... it is maintained inside BASIC DATA...... but not in input screen while creating material master.[unlike dist chnl]
because a material can be in multiple dist chnl....but not multiple division.
I feel only alternative is creating new material if you are already decided to devide the sales by division for domestic and foriegn.
Purpose of common dist chnl/div is to maintain pricing/condition in one common whenever you change master data.......
hope this gives you the clarity

Dynpro application: how to perform some code when user click window close

Hello,
I'm developing dynpro application. This application needs to perform some code when exiting.
I can do that with MODULE xxxxx AT EXIT-COMMAND. But this code can't be performed when user of application click on button closing window (classic R/3 window, not pop-up).
Does anybody know how to bind some code to clicking on button closing window?
Best regards,
Josef Motl

As far as the prompt that you get when you close the last window is coming from the counter that SAP maintains regarding the number of open sessions(windows). When this counter reaches 1, I guess they have a check to issue a prompt. There was a discussion in this forum a long time back regarding how we can know that session id like SM04. There was no conclusion reached then. Theoritically, let us know you know this id for the session in which the user opened a particular page, then you can see if that session is deleted and then take the necessary action. There are some TH_* function modules that seem to be promising, but I was not able to conclusively achieve the control over a particular session.
See if you can look at SM04 and get an idea. Please do let us know if you find the solution.

How to add Material type(MTART) field on Selection screen of MB5B transaction code.

Hi All,
    Please let me know how to add material type field on selection screen of MB5B transaction
For that i made copy ZMB5B_COPY of original report RM07MLBD.
Thanks in adv .
Samadhan

Hi,
Once you copied the standard report to Z report, you can MTART in selection screen like below.
and in order to inlcude the same in programming logic, we have three option.
1) Check all related select queries, and include MTART in SELECT query using inner join with MARA.
2) In START-OF-SELECTION event fill MATNR as shown below.
3) If user entered any value in MTART, then before displaying the report just check material type of each material in the final internal table(which is used to display report) delete enteries from internal table accordingly.
START-OF-SELECTION.
IF MTART[] IS NOT INITIAL AND MATNR[] IS INITIAL.
    SELECT MATNR FROM MARA INTO MATNR-LOW WHERE MTART IN MTART.
      MATNR-OPTION = 'EQ'.
      MATNR-SIGN = 'I'.
      APPEND MATNR.
      CLEAR MATNR.
    ENDSELECT.
ENDIF.
The above option has one limitation: The selection screen variables has some restriction, please read the below thread.
Facing problem in select statement dump DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL CX_SY_OPEN_S
Getting Dump in the select query has more than 2000 entries
Hope this will work for you .

How many storage unit type per Material code

Dear ERP Expert
we are running SAP ECC 6.0 with decentralized Warehouse Management System (WHP).
In material master data of WHP, view Warehouse Mgmt 2, there is the "Palletization data" box, with the following column:
Loading equipment quantity 1
Unit of measure for loading equipment quantity 1
1st storage unit type
In this way it is possible to define, per material code, 3 different pallet type, isnt'it?
I would like to know: To define different pallet types what kind of the impact could have?
I mean, someone tell us that the main impact to define different pallet types, in WH material master data is:
1 - When receiving the goods the TOu2019s will have to be created manually. The system cannot define the used pallet by itself and this is very important for the placement.
2 - The issuing of the goods is not possible via RF (radio frequency). This will have to be done manually as this is not supported.
is this scenario relalistic or is it possible to do something in order to avoid this scenario?
regards
marco

1)Storage unit type is assigned to the eacj warehouse number.
2)It is activated for each storage type in the warehouse.
3)Goto SPRO->LE->Warehouse mangmt->Mater Data->Material->Define storage unit type.
4)Here you assign storage unit type to warehouse number
5)You can activate SU mngmt at warehouse level here:
SPRO->LE->Warehouse mangmt->Storage Unit->Master Data->Activate SU mngmt per warehouse number
6)You can also activate SU mngmt at storage type level
SPRO->LE->Warehouse mangmt->Master Data->Define storage type.
