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

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

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.

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.

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
Thanks

Industry sector in material master

Dear all,
May I know what are the guide lines to select Industry sector to configure material master.

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.

How to modify industry sector of material master data

dear all:
i have already created a material master data using a wrong industry sector through tcode MM01.
and i have created BOM&ROUTTING for this material.
now ,i want to modify the industry sector of this material.
what should i do for this case?
thank you!
best regards!

Hi,
Industry sector is at client level & once you create the material you can't change the industry sector.
However, if you have debug rights then you can change it directly in the table MARA with field MBRSH.
Hope your query get resolved.
Thanx

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.

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

Is business area and industry sector are same.

Hi All,
   is company code is related to industry sector in any way???
is industry sector related thro business area then, or is business area and industry sector are one and the same.
Thanks
Sathsih

Dear Satish,
Business Area - Organizational unit of external accounting that corresponds to a specific business segment or area of responsibility in a company. Movements in value entered in Financial Accounting are assigned to business areas.
Financial statements can be created for business areas for internal purposes.
The definition of the business area organizational unit is optional.
Business areas are used in external segment reporting (over and above company codes), based on the significant areas of operation of a company (for example, product lines, branches).
To define business areas, choose the following in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure: Definition -> Financial Accounting -> Define Business Area.
If you have defined business areas, the transaction figures for the G/L accounts are managed separately for internal evaluation purposes. You can therefore create internal financial statements for business areas.
If you want to create financial statements for business areas, you must make sure that the Business area field is ready for input in all the line items. To do this, proceed as follows in Customizing for Financial Accounting: Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Business Area -> Enable Business Area Balance Sheet.
To post items in a business area, enter the business area when you enter the business transaction. However, the business area can also be derived from other account assignments, such as the cost center. To enable the system to do this, you must define the business area in the cost center master record.
If you enter a cross-company code document, you can post to different business areas across all company codes in one document. As a result, any number of combinations of company code and business area are possible.
Industry Sector - When you create a material master record, you are required to classify the material according to industry sector and material type.
The standard 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.
Regards,
Naveen.

Industry sector influence

Hi, how industry sector effects the master data, like if i select aerospce industry or mechanical industry while creating the material master any difference will be ther in further process? pls throw some light.

Dear Yadav,
1.Industry sector determines which screen should appear in which order.
2.The industry sector groups companies according to activity, 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, the selection of data fields on screens, the sequence of screens, and the assignment of material
types.
3.Under SPRO->Logistics general->MAterial master->configuring material master>you can find the necessary settings.

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

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

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

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
