Error in update of packaging material data in mat. master

Hi all ,
Actually , when I was going to update the packaging material information in material master , that time noticed whole parameters - blank spaces / attributes of the packaging material data area is not showing . Why it behaves as ? ...

arghya

This just tells me that you do not even know the basics of a material type.
SAP does not check the material type name, VERP and ROH is nothing else than a couple characters from the alphabet (in German language they even make some sense). You can create your own material type HUXX for handling units and if it is correctly setup then it will work.
How long do you consider yourself as a newcomer? you have registered in 2010. You started with SD, then MM (were all your questions got rejected because you failed to search) and now Logistics Execution (by the way I am moderator here too). And everywhere you were told to use Google to search prior to posting. Spend more time to increase the skills on searching, this gets you more benefits on the long run.
And in the 5th year with SAP and SCN you should at least know how to report an issue. If you have an error message, then tell the exact message along with the message number. Saying the setup is properly and then complaining that the system is asking for something else does not help to solve the issue, as it it just reflects your assumption but does not tell any facts.
If everything would be properly setup, then you would not have an issue. Does that sound logical?
Start from wikis like that Logistics General Handling Unit Introduction - ERP SCM - SCN Wiki
or from help.sap.com, just search with this string in google: sap best practices handling unit management

How to create material group in material master.

hi guru's
can anybody explain me how to create a new material group in material master.
i wantto add a material group while creating material master MM01..
thanks
sap-mm

Hi,
In this step you create material groups.
You also have the option of using the same transaction to carry out the following activities:
Creating superior hierarchy levels
Assigning the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
Assigning the base material group to the material group hierarchy
Assigning characteristics profiles below material group level
Requirements
Your R/3 System is configured as an SAP Retail System.
Activities
1. Create superior hierarchy levels
   You create hierarchy levels using transaction WG01 (creating
   material groups) via menu options MG environment --> Hierarchy
   level --> Create
2. Assign the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
   You assign hierarchy levels to a hierarchy using transaction WG01
   (creating material groups) via menu options MG environment -->
   Hierarchy level --> Maint. MG hierarchy
3. Create material groups (base material groups) and then maintain the
   pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material)
4. Assign the base material group to the material group hierarchy
   You assign the material group to the hierarchy using transaction
   WG01 (creating material groups)
5. Assign characteristics profiles below material group level
   You assign characteristics profiles using transaction WG01
   (creating material groups)
Further notes
When creating material groups and then maintaining the pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material) you should be aware of the following.
As these materials can be created automatically using a minimum of data, you should follow this procedure with a check and possibly further maintenance, especially of plant-specific data. The material group reference material should be defined in as much detail as possible so as to keep the workload to a minimum when you have to create more materials for this material group.
All hierarchy allocations involving a material group (base material group) and a higher or lower hierarchy level can be carried out on the initial screen (there is no need to switch to the detail screen). All further hierarchy allocations can be defined top-down when you maintain material group hierarchies.
Only the material groups are transported automatically!
Reward if useful.

Price update from Original Material to copied Material Master

I have a scenario,
We are selling Raw materials to outside companies who have shortage of materials on Loan Basis. Once they have materials, they will return the materials within a time period. If they don't have the materials and unable to return within the said time, they will make the payment.
We will follow the normal sales process to sell the item to the customer.
1. creating sales order,
2. Outbound Delivery, and
3. Billing
Return process when receiving the materials from the company.
1. Billing Cancellation
2. PGI Cancellation
Since this is not an actual sale, hence we need to maintain selling price same as the purchase price.
We are planning to extend the Raw Materials to Sales View in the material master. However, we came to know that this will be Violation of Act. Hence we are planning to create a new material by copying the existing Raw Material master but the Material type will be Issue on Loan. This material will have sales view and purchase view.
This material will have a separate Valuation Class. Price control indicator will be V, since the item should be valuated at Purchase Price and the purchase price will keep changing as and when the price changes. This moving average price will be used as selling price.
The same price needs to be updated in the Sales Order automatically from the Loan Material Master when selling the Loan Material.
Now, the problem we are facing is, if we create a new Loan Material by copying Raw Material master with ROH material type, how will the price update in New Loan Material since, we will not purchase the Loan Material. We are purchasing the original item as raw material. Hence, this will not update the Loan Material Price automatically and the price will remain unchanged.
Please suggest a work around?

Hi,
Let me explain to you how I am proceeding.
Step 1:
Create new material master by copying existing Raw Material with Issue on Loan material type. I am assigning a new Valuation Class in this material master. Also, we keep the pricing
Step 2:
Transfer stock from old material to new material in MB1B with movement type 309.
Step 3: Issue of Loan Material to Customer on loan basis.
Creating Sales Order, PGI and Billing
Step 4: Receipt of Item back from Customer
Sales Return process.
Step 5: In case Customer does not return goods, then we will collect payment from them
In the entire process we need to maintain the selling price at purchase price of the original material. Can you suggest any work around, in case this process is not advisable.

PGI Should get block - without material cost in material master

Hi All,
The scenario is we want to show error message while doing PGI if the material does not have any material cost in material master. How it is possible? Will we able to do with standards?
Scenario: Material cost is nil in the material master, system should through error message if it do PGI for that material.
Please let us know to solve it out.
Thanks and Regards
Lakshmikanth

Dear friend
According to me this should not be SD consultants worry at all
1.The moving ave price or standard price needs to be mentioned in MMR by MM people depending on the material type and valuation class choosen and whether you are choosing accounting view
2.Most of the material types which comes for sales like FERT i dont think you can save their Material master records without mentioning either standard price or moving ave price in the accounting view
(It really surprises me that there is a material available for sale without mentioning either standard price or moving ave price in the accounting view of its master record) ( What i mean is it is already mandatory )
If not made then in OMS9 you can make it as mandatory
All these should solve your purpose
From SD side you can include VPRS condition type in the pricing procedure which will be statistical
Try changing that to mandatory and see what is the impact
I think now at sales order level itself you can control

Use of Material price from material master in billing of material services

Hi,
In material consumption cycle when material service is billed, the rates/prices that are used for billing
come from the service column in service master whereas the functionality requires to bill on the actual material rates From the material master in MM.
How can i get this done.I have already tried with pricing procedure configuration.
How can i use the material price for billing purpose.What exactly i need to do.
Please assist.

RAMIT

Hello colleagues,
I am working on the same topic right now.
I've done the following steps:
                               1). Service Rule R24
                               2). Default Material Service
                               3). Mode 2 for a material in a material master data
                               4). A condition table
                               5). An access sequence for this condition table
                               6). A condition type
                               7). A pricing procedure: with the formula 510
I have two questions:
1). The system creates an invoice at cost zero when the calculation type of the condition is"Percentage" in the condition type.
The system creates an invoice at cost nonzero - when the calculation type of the condition is "Quantity" in the condition type. In this case I define an amount for a material directly in the condition.
I want to use a price of material based on a material master data. Could you please tell me what must I do for that?
2). I don't maintain a material directly in a material consumption view: I create a good issues for a case and the system creates a record in a material consumption view. In this case the R24 doesn't work: a default material service isn't created by the system based on a material in a material consumption view. (R24 only works when a material is maintained directly in a material consumption view).
Did somebody face with the issue? Do you have any idea how can I fix it?
Thank you very much for your time.
Kind Regards,
Alexander.

Modeling: how to place Material Grp in Material Master TABLE instead of DIM

Hi,
I just completed a review of the "...Modeling with BI" document and I will appreciate some clarification on the following:
Some key points leading to question:
--"..In order to cover all requirements, master tables in a BI Data model are NOT linked directly to cube .."
e.g. While Material Number is in the Material Dimension; Material Type and Material Group are outside the Star Schema (page 14) i.e. in the Material Master, Material Text, Material Hierarchy TABLES.
--".. translation tables called SID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes" (page 16)
--So, the discussion goes on to point to the different LOCATIONS that a dependent attribute (which are not in 1:N relationships) of a characteristic such as Material Group may be located:
in the
i) Material Dimension table or
ii) Material Master table or
iii) Material Hierarchy table or
iv) combination of i/ii/iii
My question:
When building a cube, I know how to add Material Group to the same dimension as in case of i.
How do I add Material Group in the cube, in such as way that it is ii?
If I created a separated InfoObject, Material Group, it will not meet ii, since it will not be part of the Cube in question.
Can you help me with how to make the LOCATION for Material Group as ii and iii in this example?
i.e. to make Material Group as part of the model but not added to the Material Dimention table but to "Material Master table"
i.e. I am trying to get this line well:
--".. translation tables called SID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes"
Thanks

Hi Amanda.........
I am not getting ur question properly...........but I will try to explain u .......
translation tables called SID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes.......
Do u know.........what is Extended star schema.............it is a purely that concept..........
Look.......Infocube will never store Master data...........Master data will be stored in Infoobject...............
Now look...........if u make a Infoobject Master data enable.........then it will be connected to Four Master data table.......
Attribute Table
Text Table
SID table
Hierarchy table.........
Different Master tables are........
/BIC/M -- View of Master data Tables
/BIC/P -- Master data Table, Time Independent attributes
/BIC/Q -- Master data Table, Time Dependent attributes
/BIC/X -- SID Table, Time Independent
/BIC/Y -- SID Tabel, Time Dependent
/BIC/T -- Text Table
/BIC/H -- Heirarchy Table
/BIC/K -- Heirarchy SID Table
When u r creating the Infoobject........in the Masterdata/text tab...........if u check the box With Master data.........the characteristic may have attributes........... In this case the system generates a P table for this characteristic.............. This table contains the key of the characteristic and any attributes that might exist.........
Again if u check the With Text...........then it will hav text table..............
For Hierarchy in the Hierarchy tab page..u hav to select with hierarchy.................
Now while activating the Master data SID gets generated..........this is stored in SID table.........SID table contains the Key field of the Attribute table and SID............suppose material...........then SID table will contain Material number and SID value........
Now the DIM table of an infocube contains..........SID and DIM.............so DIM tables r connected to the Master data table with this SID.......Again in turn SID tables are conneected to the Master data table.........
So cube will access this Master data table with the help of SID..........ie.......ID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes
Check this.........

Creating Process Orders Without a Material and Without a Master Recipe

Hi PP experts, anyone knows if it is possible and how to do create Process Orders Without a Material and Without a Master Recipe?
Thanks!!

Dear,
If you want to use a cleanout recipe
T code CORO
create a order w/o material for rework qty
Make the same entries as described under Creating a Process Order With a Material. Use OPJG config to have a default operation defined for the plant and order type combination.
Please find the required details and conditions for creating process orders without master recipe.

Material types in material master

Hi ,
What is the material type do we require in handling CS scenario?
Is it necessary to create BOM's for all the equipment?
Please respond
Thanks and Regards
Ashish

hi
1) A grouping together of materials with the same basic attributes such as raw materials, semifinished products, or finished products.
All materials must be assigned to a material type which determines:
Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose such as a configurable material or process material
Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
The number range from which the material number is drawn
Which screens appear and in what sequence
Which user department data you may enter
What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both.

Stock report for single material contains different material groups

Hi Experts,
              I have a scenario.I want to maintain material group for a material at the time of po creation.In next time i will maintain different material group for the same material.
               But I want to view the the stocks for material group wise which i entered in po.Is it possible to achieve this?
              Please suggest solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepika.

Please read the KBA document 2012912 - Changeablility of the field "material group" in purchasing documents
It clearly says that material group can't be changed in case you will use material master in purchase order.
So, it is clear that you can't use different material group for material master in purchase order.
For stock report, system will only show you the material group which is assigned to the material master (MARA-MATKL). System will not look into the purchase order section (like EKPO).

MPN, block PO for a vendor and material (not MPN material)

Hello everyone,
I have a doubt regarding MPN process I created a MPN material referencing an internal material. I have a vendor and a manufacturer.
If I create a purchase order with the MPN material (in the line the internal material comes automatically) and vendor and the manufacture is blocked by QM status (MP01). When I try to save the PO I receive a warning message and I am not able to save the PO. No Issues till now.
The thing is, if I create a PO with the internal material and the vendor I am able to save it, and the MPN material never comes up. And I want to be blocked also in this escenario.
thanks in advance
Sebas

Hi,
If you want that system should not allow user to create PO for the internal material and should only allow the MPN material then you can use Manufacturer's Part Profile in Internal material and MPN material and maintain Approved Manufacturer Part List (AMPL) in MP01.
You have to configure MPN Profile in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Define Manufacturer Part Profile
Here activate "MPN Mandatory" and rest all as per your requirement.

Material Type for Material Determination

Hi Expert,
Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
Thanks,
IB

Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination. In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

Aavlaibility check for material and Substitution material

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where in I need to check the availability of a material and if there is not availability then I need to find out the substituted material maintained for the material.
for example, Material M1 has no stock in ECC and Material M2 is maintained as substitution in the SCM system. I need to figure out the tables or any Function module that can fetch the Material M2 if I provide Material M1.
I am able to check the material availability using the BAPI "BAPI_AVAILABILITY_CHECK". But I didnt find any FM or way to find the substituted material for a material.
Please help me out.
Thanks.
Anand.

I don't know about SCM, but in R/3, the material determination process is based on the standard procedure/access sequence setup. If you trace the condition record maintenance, you will find your table name. If the SCM setup doesn't work that way, there will still be a master data setup step that you can trace and find the table.

Filtering R/3 Material Groups and Material Types

Hi,
I am trying to filter the Material groups and material types during master data upload from R/3 to SRM 4.0
I am tried doing the following:
1. In Txn R2AR2, i set up the request for DNL_CUST_PROD1 for MARA-MATKL(Material Group) & MARA-MTART(Material Type)and then run the Txn R3AR4 with DNL_CUST_PROD1. The replication was successful, but it pulled in all the R/3 backend material groups and material types.
Now i deleted the replicated material types and Material groups in SRM using SRM Std reports and this too was successful.
2. Now i tried another method - In Txn R3AC3, i selected the Object DNL_CUST_PROD1 and i added table MARA and set up the filter requirements for MARA-MTART(Material Types) and MARA-MATKL(Material Groups), i synchronized the filters and then when i selected the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 in Txn R3AS for initial upload, even this is pulling in all the material types and material groups from R/3 without filtering
Can anyone please let me know the exact procedure to filter out the R/3 Material types and material groups during initial upload of this data into SRM 4.0
Thanks

Hi,
Before starting the INitial load for MATERIAL,for filetr settings ,Go in tcode R3AC1.
There select the Object name as MATERIAL and click on the "filter settings" tab.
There in OBJECT FILTER SETTINGS
Enter the relevant filter criteria:
e.g. If you wnat to filter on Material type(MARA-MTART):
The input will be as follows:
Table /Structure :MARA
Field :MTART
OP :EQ Equality (= Low)
Low: "Material type name"
Incl/EXcl: Inclusive defined
And then click on the button "FILTER SYNC".
The filter settings are complete for the Material download.
