Material Master Change Documents

We have currently added additional fields to MARA and I am trying to add the changing of these new fields to the Material Master Change Documents. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Dear Khrista,
I hope you are looking for change documents that would be generated whenever specific field value changes when you change material master. It would be stored in CDHDR and CDPOS.
One way is to add custom fields to be considered is to implement a proper BAdi/Enhancement.
Please check this sample program from other thread to find BADI and enhancement for a given transaction code. You just need to create a custom program in your system by cut and paste below codes.

Alternatively, you can do the following:
1. For what ever transaction u want the enhancement .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name....
2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
3. Search for "Call Customer-function " ... and u'll get some search results .. If u get results then u have enhancement in that tcode .....
4. Then it actually calls a Function module .... copy the Function module name .... go to SE80 (object navigator) click on "Repository Information system" then Customer Enhancements .... Give the Function module name in the "Components" field and click Execute ....
ull get a list of Enhancements related to that Componene....
5. Choose which ever enhancement will suit ur business need ..
6. Go to CMOD... create a project .... assign ur enhancement ... and then code ur logic.... activate ur enhancement in CMOD ....... Ur Buisness need will be solved...
For a user exit......
Finding whether there is any User Exit or not for tcode VA42
1. For what ever transaction u want the user exit .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name.... ( The program name would be for our scenario "SAPMV45A" )
2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
3. Search for the word "USEREXIT" .... u ll find all the user exits in the search result .. and find ur's then ...
Hope this will help.

How to extend Sales org for a material being Changed

Hi Experts,
i need to extend sales org , distribution Channel for a material .
my table look like this and having 6 fields shown below
1 2 3 4 5 6
Sales org | Des | Distn Chnl | desc | Copy from So | Copy from Dstn Chnl
If the user enters the existing value in Copy From SO and Copy Fron Distn Chnl . Then i need to copy all the values corresponding to the Existing SO and Distrn Chnl to the Newly entered Sales Org .
the table im displaying in ALV , if user perss F4 in copy From SO and Copy From Distn , i need to show the existing values for the material being changed , this is working fine and i am able to get the existing values.
After user selects one of the existing value for SO and Distrn channel , i need to copy all the values to newly created So and distrn Chnl .
i dont know how to proceed . Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

You can use AET to extend the sales area data of BP. However, it wont add the fields automatically in GUI, But the generated fields are available in the relevant DB tables.
BP GUI transaction is no more supported . Im not sure why you want to work on GUI.

Accessing material master change information

We have a requirement to pull all changes to material master records by month. I know that I can hit the CDHDR and CDPOS tables using CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS and CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS functions to pull this; however our change tables are so huge that the program is timing out. Running in background does not work either because the spool request only shows a few of the pages (10, I think) where the document is actually over a thousand printed pages. I can't email the spool request either because the file is too large.
My question is...is there an infostructure that only contains material master changes (as opposed to all changes as in the CDHDR and CDPOS tables?) I know that when you go into MM03 and view materail master changes they pull up really quickly. Is this program hitting something else rather than the CDHDR and CDPOS tables? How do they pull up so quickly even if there are many changes.
Thanks in advance.

That's the beauty of having the option to debug a program. Wondering how SAP reads the data fast: go debug!

Material Master Change History

Some of our business users fail to or incorrectly modify certain fields for materials that are changed from manufactured to purchased and vice-versa. Can you help me to find a way to extract material attribute changes by company code, division, a list of materials and the option to choose certain attributes to display the old and new values. I can't currently find a way to drill down this far, as some materials have hundreds of changes. Thanks.

Hi Josh,
Try MM04. It displays material change base on following factors
Material
Change Number
Plant
Valuation Type
Sales Organization
Distribution Channel
Warehouse Number
Storage Type
Changed by
From change date
Is this ok for you...

Material master change report

I've been asked to created a program for material master changes that will run nightly and send an e-mail if any field on any material number has changed that day. I've checked into MM04 and MM44 but both run for a single material only. Is there any report that will run for all materials and give the change records? I'm trying to explore all options before writing a custom report.
Thanks!

see OSS note 336668, it describes a modification to MM04 which fulfills your requirement.

Material delta changes are not flowing into CRM

Dear All,
material delta changes are not flowing into CRM, because the product hierarchy on material has been changed to a new product hierarchy. I do not want to download again the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 because it maight cause inconstancies in CRM. (I have already defined some z product hierarchies in CRM)
Do I need to create the new product hierarchy also in CRM manually?
Appreciate any inputs
Raj

Hi Raj,
Use the transacrion R3AR2 to create a z object for DNL_CUST_PROD1 and assign DNL_CUST_PROD1 as the object name
Then in request detail screen for new z object enter the details like table name (T179 in your case) and the name of the product hierarchy that you want to bring in. Save the transaction
Then use the transaction R3AR4 to initiate the download for your new z object as you normally do in R3AS.
Then go to SMW01 and reprosess the struck Bdoc.
Reward points if helps,

How to trigger Material CIF change pointers when changing Source List

I need to trigger a Material Change pointer (CIFMAT) creation when the Source List is updated for that material. In BD52 (ALE configuration) table EORD is not an option for CIFMAT message type, so by standard ALE this can not be done automatically. I could not find any BAdI/Userexit which will help me to create a material master change pointer so that the Material (Product) will be sent to APO via the CIF when the Source List in R/3 is changed.

Hi , Can you please check user exit CIFMAT01 function module EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001.You can use this enhancement to influence the logic according to which material data from SAP R/3 is mapped to APO product interface data.
I suggest to put logic in user exit to check table source list table EORD changes & trigger CIF for material master.You can pull change data from table CDPOS using EORD table reference & material object value details.
Based on change record CIF user exist should trigger material CIF run and feed to APO.
Hope this solution will work in your case.thanks

Why Material Classification Changes are not shown in MM04?

I have a material; I changed classification data by changing a value of a
Characteristic, e.g. unit of measure for reporting. It had allowed values of
No entry, mg, kg.. I changed it from No entry to mg.
However when I went to MM04; I do not see the change; why. I know
When I make changes to non Classification data; I can see changes in mm04.

Hi,
I'm afraid you can't see these changes in MM04.
MM04 does not show the changes of classification of the material master only the changes of fields which directly belong to material master. You can get the classification change docs in the classification screen: menu Environment -> change docs.
Also note that Changes to the values of characteristics are not recorded in material master changes. These values are stored in the classification tables and if you want to track changes of them, you have to use engineering change management.
Thanx & Regards,
Mauro

Reg : material master change history

Hi All.
I am changing the value of the material master characterstic assigned to class under the classification TAB of material master.
I want to extract the last chaged date of the characterstic value.
The material master change history ( Table CDHDR) is not reflecting the changes done to the characterstic value.
Can anybody please suggest me how can i extract the change history of the characterstic value of a given class for a given material.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi
If a field is changed in any transaction with a new values those changes are recorded in CDHDR and CDPOS tables with the field name, Transaction name and field old and new values, changed by and date etc
So you have to fetch the change data history from those tables passing the
OBJECT CLAS = MATERIAl and the Objectid = Material no and fetch the data from CDHDR first and then for all entries of CDHDR fetch the data from CDPOS and use the data and required fields

Material Type Change Implication

Hi all,
What are the implication of changing the material type of existing materials?
Kiki

Hi Kiki
Implication of material typpe change. First of all you can change if the stock is nil.
1) If you have maintained different storage location for different material type. The location will change.
2) Further The valuation for each material type is different.
we have to change accordingly.
3) Screen group selection is based on the material type, this will change.
4) Procurement type will be based on the material type.
5) Material group is based on material type.
6) Even base unit will be different for different material type. in some industries for Ex FERT and HALB will be in PC, EA etc., and ROH will be in Kgs.
Hope this will clear your doubt.
Regards

ERP - SD Sales orders with billing plan (material number change appear)

Sales and Distribution.
Regarding sales orders with billing plan.
We create the sales order and create billing plan at header or item level.
We issue down payment request(s) upon receipt of sales order.
Often during the life time of the sales order one or more of the material numbers are changed after the down payment request(s) has been issued and paid by the client.
Our issue is that prior to changing the material number in the sales order we have to reverse the payment(s), reverse the down payment request(s) and after the material number change re-issue the down payment request(s) and register the payment again.
We wish to find a solution avoiding all the reversals.
If you have a similar situation please inform how to handle material number change in the sales orders with billing plan.
Best regards
Lise

Dear Consultor SD ,
There is no setting to create the invoice based on schedule line.
What you can possibly do is create multiple deliveries based on the schedule line and
then invoice the individual deliveries.
If you want system to split the deliveries based on schedule line, then you will have to include Schedule line also
in the COMBINATION REQUIREMENT in VTLA.
Thanks & Regards,
