Material in SAP MM ?

Hi,
We are having a discussion with a company that will use FICO, MM and PM if all material shall have a material number in the system or if some consumables, e.g gloves etc, should be purchased as text instead of having a material number. Appreciate any input to this. Advantages-disadvantages ?
Thanks !

Hi,
Better go for material number for your consumable items like gloves ,shirts, pants etc with a material type  and you can used as non-stock item ( ND-MRP type).Where you have advantage of maintaining different materials of different sizes( like gloves small, gloves medium, gloves large, shirts small, shirts medium, shirts large etcu2026.)   with same material type at the end you have reports on your hand which department consumed how much  & order placed for particular material etcu2026. If you maintain text in PO for the above items explained, you can not have proper reports at the end.

  • Creation of Material from SAP VIEW using CDESK.

    Hi  Experts,
    I have one question related to creation of Material from SAP View.
    CAD file created say SM1000.prt
    Create DIR in CAD View say SM1000
    Scenario 1 :   Create Material in Background from CAD VIEW or SAP VIEW from cad desktop, It creates material SM1000
                               in background.
    Scenario 2 : Open CDESK ( Transaction)
                            Click on OPEN,
                            Selecting the DIR created SM1000
                            Create the material in background in SAP View, it gives message " enter material number"
    Why am not able to create the material from SAP view using CAD Desktop. If any modifications needs to be done in CDESK CUS to solve this please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sudharshan

    Hi Sudharshan,
    maybe the reason for this is that your CAD applications provides a special material number and the customizing in CDESK is defined to use this number. In this case the number or value can by provided from the CAD application only from the CAD View.
    In the SAP view the material gets created like in MM01 for example and so mabye you have to enter a material number.

    Hi Prasad
      CRM 2.0 IDES version is outdated i rather suggest you to go through with the latest CRM 4.0 it has got more functionalities than CRM 2.0 obviously also decide in which area you need to specialise so got many options like Telesales,Internet sales,Service etc..Also Mr.Michael Van Greet has sent you a link i checked that as well.Its costing you $60 but it seems worth buying it.Because its very difficult to find any books regarding CRM 4.0.If possible try to get it from your colleagues TCRM10-Fundamentals and Base Customising,Middleware and IPC.CR300-Sales and CR-800 Internet Sales.I hope this helps!!

    Can you provide me with a link, or training material?
    Thank you.

    You can use simple SAP Querry from SQVI , but it is client dependant and user dependant can not be transportable.
    use MARA, MARC,MBEW combination with outer loop option to get maximum results.

  • Need help in getting information/training material for SAP CRM (Functional)

    Hello,
    I am a SD Consultant.
    I want to learn SAP CRM (Functional) on my own without going to any training institute or some thing.
    Therefore, can anyone help me in forwarding the link(s) or document(s) with which I can learn about SAP CRM (Functional).
    I want information/training material regarding SAP CRM 7.0 (on system/software working, not the general information, for example- why CRM, where CRM, etc)
    For example, about org data, org structure, possible scenarios, etc.
    Thanks in advance for spending your valuable time for me.

    Hi Chaitanya,
    Since You are already a SD Consultant, We assume you are very much familliar with SAP and for you CRM will also be not a big Deal.
    Customer Relationships Management (CRM) is a model for managing any Organization's interaction with current and future customers. It involves technology to organize, automate and synchronize SALES, SERVICES(postsales) AND MARKETING(presales).
    First of all you need to get SAP CRM installed in your system and then you need to get command over Account and Contact Management (Business Partner). The same can be learned using WebUI or GUI. From GUI the transaction launcher is WUI then web page opens up enter your credentials and select Role - Salespro. Open the Account and Contact section and do some R&D and you can learn. But in GUI you need to go to SPRO -> IMG -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Number Ranges & Groupings -> Define Number Ranges. Here you have defined number range then you need to assign to some group created from SPRO same way. And Finally maintain Business Partner using Tcode - BP.
    Then You Learn Organizational Management which allows us to map our marketing, sales, service structure maintaining company's structure including the position and Employees in an Application and assign specific attributes to the otganizational units.
    Path: SPRO -> IMG -> CRM -> Master Data -> Organizational Management -> Organizational Model -> Create Org Model/Change org model.
    Just Go ahead and with some more R&D in the system and taking of F1 Help of SAP Documentation I think you can easily learn SAP CRM.

  • How to track theft material in sap

    hi experts
    we implemented sap to construction company,
    store keeper issue  material to site ,in that site material stolen by some one ,how to track in sap thease material
    regards
    vijay

    You should ask business how they want to manage it.
    E.g. if they know who is the person you can create a SO and sell the material to that person (with some surcharge)
    In my opinion you should go through physical inventory process and correct the stock level. (GI against cost center (MB1A + mvt 201) or scrapping (MB1A + mvt 551) could also be used, however I think physical inventory is the "normal" way from businesss point of view)

  • Characteristics in the material master (SAP Retail)

    Hi everybody,
    Iu2019m using SAP Retail and I need to maintain characteristics in the material master. These characteristics are used to maintain additional information like u201Caccessoriesu201D and u201Cguaranteeu201D (Iu2019m not working with generic articles and variants).
    Each characteristic need to be maintained in different languages:
    Example: Guarantee u2013 In Portuguese the value should be u201C2 anosu201D and in English the value should be u201C2 yearsu201D. 
    There are no predefined values for these characteristics. We use additional values and the user can maintain a free text, but it should be different in Portuguese and in English.
    One solution I can use is to create each Characteristic in English and in Portuguese, and then maintain different values for each one. Iu2019m trying to find a better solution because I have numerous Characteristics.
    Does anyone know another way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    SN

    Hi SN,
    this requirement sounds a little bit strange.
    Question 1: This field 'Guarantee' is  valid for all articles or for some articles only ( e.g merchandise categroy electronics)
    Question 2: How do you name the Characteristic? is it Years or Ano or guarantee?
    Question 3: using additional vlaues will kick out the value check. So it is like a free text entry. Of course this makes no sense, because you can also add 'g hello' als a valid value.
    Why you choose this way ?
    Question 4: What is the issue using fixed values? I guess the guarantee values are limited at all.
    Question 5: Why you don't use a MARA append field and hide it on unwished mechandise categories. Thats easier to handle and a value check can be implemented.  So you are able to create a field with a unit in different languages
    e.g.    Guarantee          Years
    if you logon in english.
    regards
    Björn
