Locking additional descriptions in material master

Hi,
For data protection reason I have customized that specific fields of the material master can be locked after creation of the material master (transaction OMSFIX). Requested fields for locking are also the different descriptions in the additional data screen of the material master. However I can't find a field in the locking table that does the trick. Locking the fields MAKT-MAKTX and MAKT-SPRAS are not locking the descriptions in the additional data field. Does anybody know a solution?
Thanks,
Paul

Dear,
As its shown the Long text of basic data tab stored in RM03M table field RM03M-LTEX1.
Since RM03M is a structure and not a Table.
Structure is like a work area or an arrays only access data while the concerned program that uses it is running.
We cannot view the structure as I know. Take help of ABAPer who can solve your requirements.

Need additional Description of Material apart from Material Master

Dear All,
One of our customer wants to maintain an additional Material Description, apart from the description maintained in the Material Master.
In the material Master, they are maintaining "Manufacturer Part Number" as a description.
In the Customer-Material Info record, they are maintaining "Customer's Part No".
Both are getting printing in the Invoice output.
Apart from these they need to maintain some other decription of material. Where we can maintain this?
For example, in the Material Master, they are maintaining "Manufacturer Part Number", something like "RM20010V". The same is not acceptable for Excise clearace officers. They asked them to maintain the clear description of the material.
Please suggest.

Mullairaja

they need to maintain some other decription of material
Go to MM01 / MM02 and click "Select views" so that you can see a field SALES TEXT. You can maintain here and fetch the same to your sale order / billing.

Spanish language description for material master

HI SAP Gurus,
can anybody please clairfy this thing for me. we have a material despcription in english in the material master. If we add ES language in the additional data screen what should be the description. Does the system pick automatically? Or the users have to provide it? Or can it be the same as english description with the just the language key as ES.
For example
EN - Seal cap
ES - Seal Cap
please clarify this
thanks
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
SAP provides option to maintain description in diff. languages so people from diff. places can read the description in their language.
There is nothing stopping you from maintaining the description in english for all lang. keys, but i am sure it would make very little sense.
So if you wish to maintain in spanish language, login in using spanish & then maintain the description.
Hope the above clarifies.
If helpful award points

Re: Populating Additional data in Material master record

Hi,
I am creating material master record using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA. I am using the below function modules to populate date in Additional Data Tab. I am getting the existing material details from BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL and passing it to
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA variables. I can create material successfully, but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Program populates this data for some materials and for some materials not. For example, when I try to create a new material by copying existing details from 1234 , New material will be created   with 12345(say), but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Now If I put a break point, to find out what could be the issue , and then press f6 , and re-execute program for the same material 1234, then my custom program can populates data. I know its sound wiered, but I am not able to solve the issue.

Any suggestions ...

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your reply. It worked. But now I am facing strange issue. As you see my code above, i am using VBWS_UOM_MAINTAIN_DARK to update Addition data tab. however, the values of internaltable gt_meinh_ws_upd was not updated correctly inside the material master.
For example, I am filling gt_meinh_ws_upd table with the below values
gt_meinh_ws_upd-wsm = 'OZT'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atnam ' ZABCDE'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023
append gt_meinh_ws_upd.
but when i see in material master,   gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023 is updated with 23, instead of 0.023. I debugged th func. module many times, I didnot come acroos the code what making it to 23.
Any Idea karthik...
Thanks in Advance

Idoc segments for additional UOM in material master

HI, I have three questions
a) we have the follwoing data defined in material master (additonal data)
X UOM Y UOM EAN
1 LITRES 1 LITRES NIL
1 IGB (inner packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
1 GBE (packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
I need to know what is EAN no and in our case the EAN no is same for both inner packg and pack. . what does this mean. Sometimes we also see the EAN no is different. why... what it signifies ?
2) We have outbound idoc trigerred from delivery. message type is WHSOD. in one of the segments (E1EDL24), the system shows the delivery qty and material no. This segment also shows the EAN NO AS 345922222222. In segment E1EDL26, the filed UMVKZ shows as 1 which is ok (numerator as shown above) but the numerator field shows 1 only (it does not show 20 litres,, i think the field name is UB something ).
I need to know why the system is not showing 20 litres in numerator in the filed for segment E1EDL26.
3) Had we have two different EAN in material master as above, did our standard message type would have shown the conversion factors (numerator and denomi ) as per the EAN nos.....If yes, then in which segments ,the WHSORD shows the Conversion factors based on different EAN nos in material master-UOM tab (for instance if 1 GBE (packg) = 30 LITRES and EAN IS 345911111111.... I think there will be as many segments in idoc as there are entries in Additonal data-UOM tab )

Hi,
As for as i know EANs are not relevant to unit conversion. This is a number which uniquely identifies a material for a particular UoM.
And regarding the numerator and denominator, check whether any logic is added in the corresponding segment which overwrites the value

Additional field for Material Master of SRM

Hi,
We want to add 3 additional fields to the product master table of SRM. We do not want to use these additional fields on any documents (neither SC nor PO nor contracts etc). We do not want to display these additional fields on Enterprise Buyer screens.
What we want is, after adding these fields to the products table we want to edit the values on COMMPR01. Is it possible to see and edit these additional fields with txn COMMPR01? If not how can we edit these fields?
Thanks
PS: the fields that we want add are: New category name (other than the EBP category), New material code (other than the regular material number), Country Name (we have 2 backend systems, we want to keep the name of the country of the backend).

Hi,
How can I do that?
I have 2 fields to reply to COMMPR01:
MARA-ZZCOD_CORP (Customer Field)
MARC-EKGRP
Any ideia to reply this with standard process?
Thanks,
Pedro

View document in material master, Basic data 2 screen?

Hello gurus,
How to view a DIR assigned to material master - basic data 2?
According to help.sap.com:
Additional Function for Material Master Record:
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can define a standard document type by choosing Make Global Settings.
- Done this: assigned document type needed, created a DIR with that type and assigned it to a given material
Documents of this standard document type are displayed in the material master record, in the Basic data 2 view (Extras ® Document data).
- Information of the DIR can be seen in the main screen, no path Extras --> Document data (I know DIRs are shown behind menu path Additional data --> Documents)
You can display the original application files of a document (for example, an engineering/design drawing) directly from the object (for example, material) using a display application (viewer).
PROBLEM starts here: no icon or button to click in order to view the document although the help states so.
Any idea what should be done? Should I install a software of some sort to view? Assign it somehow with SAP? The document type here is doc (MS Word), so nothing special.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
BR,
Pipsa

Hello Sam,
Sorry, I think I described the problem inaccurately.
I could see the document already but for that I must follow the path Additional data --> Document data.
My core question was: Is there a means to allow a user to display the document directly in the screen Basic data 2 since system creates a new subscreen called Design documents assigned anyway?
It seems that the design documents assigned is for information purposes only. It would have been far better with usability to have the display icon in the main data.

In Material master safety stock field is in display

Hi,
As a consultant i am able to change the Safety stock field in MRP view in the test system and Production also,but for the user this particular field is in display mode wheras other field in the MRP view user is able to change.
Kindly help me if,there is any settings for the same.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
Have you checked if there is any configuration made to lock same fields on material master? Follow the below path please;
Logistics u2013 General ==> Material Master ==> Field Selection ==> Define Lock-Relevant Fields
May be someone defined some fields as u201Clock-relevantu201D in customizing and during creation or changing of material master he/she set this indicator. You are able to change those fields because you may have SAP_ALL authorization whereas others may not.
Best regards

Material Master - Sales Organization

Hi,
I am having two company codes, each with one Plant and Sorg respectively.
Say
4211 ( BUKRS )
SC00 ( WERKS )
4211 ( VKORG )
3121 ( BUKRS )
MB50 ( WERKS )
3121 ( VKORG )
When i am tyring to maintain a material master for SC00 Plant and 3121 Sales org. The system allows me to save the material. I want to have a lock on creation of Material master only with those plant and Sorg belonging to the same company code
How to achieve this functionality.
Regards,
Sahana

Hi Sahana
This is in SD ENterprise structure customizing.
Check the settings in OVX6.
For a Sales Org/Dist Channel combination, you can assign plants there.
If you want to restrict company code level, you can do so in OVX3.
Here, you assign the sales org for the company code e.g. sales org 3121 can work only with company 3121.

Change description of MVKE-PRAT7 field in SD material master

Dear,
Unfortunately I have issues with a translation of field PRAT7, but only in German Language.
I've did the translation via TCode CMOD - Goto-Text enhancements-Keywords-Change.
In our development and test system, the translation is shown correct. But if I check the material master in productive system, it still shows the old description in the German language. The English description is correct?
Do you have any ideas what the reason could be?
Thanks in advance.

Couple of OSS notes you can refer for resolution;
