INDUSTRY SECTOR - CONTROL

Hi,
During creating material master we are giving , industry sector.. is it controls anything?? what will be impacts???

Hi
The industry sector is used to activate / deactivate certain screens / fields specific for that particular industry. You can create your own industry sector or use one which satisfies your needs.
We can define industry sector in SPRO
Path
Spro >Logistics - General>Material Master--> Field Selection --> Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection
Standard Settings
The standard SAP R/3 System comes, for example, with the following
industry sectors:
o A for plant engineering and construction
o C for the chemical industry
o M for mechanical engineering
o P for pharmaceuticals
You can change the name of the industry sector (plant engineering and
construction, and so on) and, if necessary, the field input control too
(via the field reference).

Ignificance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master

hi all,
We need information on the significance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master field. I understand that it can influence field selection and the screen sequence of the material master record. We are particularly interested to know the influence of the industry sector u201CPharmaceutical Industryu201D .
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Please check follwoing links
[MM01- Industry Sector;
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ff/515b3149d811d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm]
1. Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection (transaction OMS3) -> assign a field reference to field selection
2. Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens (transaction OMS9) -> define a specific field selection for a field selection group (for example, depending on industry sector (the field reference appears on the lower table control).
Like the material type, the industry sector also has a control function. When you create a material master record, the industry sector determines:
Which screens appear and in which order
Which industry-specific fields appear on each screen
The industry sector you assign to a material cannot subsequently be changed. In Customizing, you can define new industry sectors and maintain the field reference for field selection control according to your enterprise-specific requirements.
Most data in the material master record can be maintained directly by the user. But some information is automatically updated by the system. When you enter goods movements, for example, the system updates the stock and consumption data. Statistical information, such as the date of original creation and that of the last change, can be invoked with , with the quick-info text Information on material.
Some data in the material master is used for information purposes only, for example, description, size, and dimensions. Other material data has a controlling function in an application. For example, the MRP type controls the MRP procedure and the price control indicator determines which material valuation procedure is used

Determine Industry Sector / Transaction Key Maintainance

Hello Gurus,
I have been doing these 2 settings for Purchasing and Inventory Controlling. But never understood the real impact and reason. Could anyone throw some light on the same in detail.
thanks in advance.

Hi dear,
if you check all the std update rules for the involved flows....you will find that every row (more or less) takes into account (in if-clauses and so on...) these objects !
A lot of LC datasources have only generic key figures (transfer quantities and transfer values) that have a significance only if combined with the process (transaction)keys!
The industry sector change is a prerequisite to have filled these fields !
Hope it helps!

MM01-Industry sector

Hi all,
While creating material code using MM01 i have wrongly put industry sector as OILl.Now i need to change the industry sector. specify which Trasancation Code to be used.
or specify some procedure.

Hi
Industry Sectors
Use
When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to
industry sector and material type.
Like material types, industry sectors have control functions in the R/3 System. For example, it is
a factor determining the screen sequence and field selection [Page 97] in a material master
record. Once you have assigned an industry sector to a material, you cannot change the industry
sector again afterwards.CChheemmiiccaall iinndduussttrryy
MMeecchhaanniiccaall eennggiinneeeerriinngg
Features
The standard R/3 System contains the following industry sectors. The ID used to identify the
industry sector internally appears in parentheses.
Plant engineering and construction (A)
Chemical industry (C)
Mechanical engineering (M)
Pharmaceuticals (P)
The other sectors are for retail.
Activities
Your system administrator can define other industry sectors in Customizing for the Material
Master in Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection [Ext.].
This is MM tutorial notes
Industru sector cannot be changed in std SAP

Create industry sector

Dear All ,
In Creating material master mm01 there is a column of industry sector there 5 types of industries sector are created like mechanical,chemical etc how can i create another like electrical industries sector.
Amin

Hi,
The Industry Sector and Material Type fields on the initial screen are mainly control fields i.e. they control the screen sequence, views and fields in the data screens of the
material master record.
A number of different Industry Sectors and Material Types exist in standard SAP R/3,when companies need more they can define these in Customising according to their
own requirements.
Yes, you can create for Electrical Industry type in the path given by other buddies.

Relationship between material type and industry sector

Hi experts
when using t-code mm01,there are two fields material type and industry setor in screen.Is there any relationship between material type and industry sector? I want to know if user be able to see the material type related to particular industry sector?
thanks in advance!

Hello
There is no direct relationship between the material type and the industry sector.
The industry sector is used only for field sttus maintenance (fields in display/optional/requierd entry) in transactions.
We will assign seperate field reference groups to industry sectors and deopending on how we configure the field references, the fields will appear for the materials created for that industry sector.
regards

Industry sector field for display only.

Dear All,
Does anybody know the setting to make Industry sector for display only, so that the enduser cannot change industry sector while creating material.
I know to hide industry sector from DEFAULTS menu, but i need to freeze that field for display only.
Regards
Rang

Hello Ranganath,
You can use transaction exit. for more information check this thread.

How to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material

Hi,
There is an issue where user wants to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material .Is it posible to do so??
IF not ,how can we delete that material from material master so that another material with same number and required material type and industrial sector can be created.
Points will be definitely rewarded.
Thanks
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
OLD Material New Material
1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
profile actvated profile actvated
3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
acs
It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.
Reg,
Ashok

Number of entries in the list industry sector varies (Transaction MM01)

Hell friends
I have 2 different ECC servers. When I try to create a material using transaction MM01, I see different lists on them.
Both of them were installed recently and so everything available there are standard SAP created data.
When I enter transaction code MM01 and select the list Industry Sector on the first server, I see a huge list starting with AgriculturalServices, AutoRepairServicesParking, BldgMaterialsHWGardenSupp etc. (More than 25 in number).
However, I try the same thing on the second server I see only 5 of them. I am looking for Finished product on this second server and I don't see that, which is a standard industry sector according to what I have read.
Could some one please let me know why this difference and also how to see all the entries in the list?
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Tks
Ram

Hi,
Check table V137 in both servers and also
check ENHANCEMENT patch level of both the servers

Industry Sector and Material Type list of values in cFolders

Hi,
How to transfer the List of Values for Industry Sector & Material Type from R/3 to cFolders system?
We have R/3 Production system running for the past 3 years. We are implementing cFolders now. While Material creation in cFolders, the List of Values listed for above mentioned fields are not as per R/3 values. Hence we need to change the same LOV in cFolders as per R/3. How to do it?

Hi,
The parameters material type and industry sector are used
to classify a material. They define its possible uses.
For example if you selct indutsry type as retail or mechanical it will classssify the material accordingly. again material type is semifinished then this you can also use as a raw material. In mm02 or MM03 u cant see it.
If you want to see these you can go to SE16 and put table name MARA and can see it.
Hope this will help.
Reward point if helpful.
Thanks,

Change   the Industry Sector

Hello,everybody!
        After the material master data have been created,can we make a change of the Industry Sector ? If do, how to realize it?
       Thanks in advance !

HI,Stephen and Yogesh:
Thanks for your replies!
The reason I want to change the industry sector is that:
We filled the industry sectors of all materials with different labels (e.g., A and B).
Now we want unify them to the same label.
It seems this change is impossible according to your information.
Thanks!

Industry sector in material master

Dear all,
May I know what are the guide lines to select Industry sector to configure material master.
What are all the SAP standard Industry sector available?
Can we use any indutry sector for any type of business. How to choose this.
please advise.
Thanks
Udaya

Hello Udaya,
Branch of industry.
The industry sector groups together companies according to their activities (for example, plant engineering and construction, mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, and the pharmaceutical industry).
Table-driven program support is provided according to industry sector; for example, for the selection of data fields on-screen, for the sequence of the screens, and for the allocation of a material to a material type.
Industry Sector :
Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
Use
When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
which screens appear and in what order
which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens.
Thanks

Industry sector of the Material

Hi there!
Do we have any way out to find out the 'Industry Sector' for the material (irrespective of any material type) which is already created and available in the system.
Ex: Material - XYZ - Is created in the system a year back.
I want to know the which industry sector does it belong to?
Is there any way out? If Yes, What are the ways to find out this.
Regards,
Suresh

Dear,
Use MARA table.
Enter SE16 t-code.
Here enter table MARA and press enter.
Then enter your material codes and click on execute.
You will get material wise industry list
