Material Master Archiving Issue

Hi,
I have Issue with Material Master archiving. I got an error message" MARD:Reservation /Dependent requirement exist.
I have checked in MB24-Open reservations. All Reservations are closed. No stock existed. No Transfer requirements & No stock in transit.
I ran MBVR also.
How to solve thsi problem.
Regards,
Sridhar.

Hi Sridhar,
You may refer to note [900537 |https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=900537]for details:
Error W4017 - Reservation/Dependent requirements exist:
This message indicates that some reservations exist for the material you
are trying to archive. You should be able to see the existing
reservations using table RESB. Firstly, you must archive the document
that caused the reservation to be created, for example Production Orders
then you must archive the reservations themselves. Afterwards, it should
be possible to archive the material.
Note 30781 may assist if you identify that these requirements stem from
purchase requisitions.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
Polly

Material Master Archive Process

Hi
1. How can we archive a material master? Explain in details..
2. Wats the impact on the above.. pls describe
Vijay

Transaction SARA contains all the SAP archiving objects for all the SAP R/3 applications modules. All the SAP archive functions are shown in SARA. Choose the corresponding SAP archive object, hit enter and the archive administration menu will be shown. Provided here will be an example on how to archive the SAP Material Master.
Archive a Material Master Record
When a material is no longer required in a company or plant, you can archive and delete the material master record.
You have to Flag the material master record for deletion. This is known as logical deletion.
Before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived. You can see which objects these are and the dependencies between them in the network graphic.
The Archiving steps :-
Archiving object MM_MATNR for archiving material master records.
You can display the archived data, but not reload it.
To archive the material master, first goto transaction MM71.
Type in a variant name and click Maintain. (Tick the Test Mode for archive simulation).
Save the variant.
Maintain the Start date and Spool parameters and click execute.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the archive status.
To do a permanent delete, goto transaction SARA and click Delete button.
Maintain the Archive Selection, Start date and Spool parameters.
Click Test Session for testing or click execute to start the deletion program.
Click Goto Job Overview to check the delete status.
Now, if you goto MM02/MM03, you will not be able to find the record in the material master.

Material Master duplication issue

hi,
We are EPC company where we procure different kind of Pipes , flanges other erection materials for e.g.
We have a large number of variations under these categories which is forcing us to create a new material master where tere is slight deviation .
e.g. we have a 30" MS PIPE . But it can have dis 32",34".36",thickness 2", 4",6" , iner lining may be of teflon, glass...
so there are large numbe rof combnation whic can happen. this end up in creating large numbe rof materials.
Is there any way to minimise numbe rof materials in this?
Also, we are facing issue of duplication of materials.
For e.g. different Sites may ask for same material . so same material may be created with different description for different sites. Is there any way to standardise material description template?
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
The best way to deal with this scenario is to use "Configurable Materials".
You need to create (variant configuration with class type 100, 200, 300) where you can define the variations in the material having same application and features such as yours.
Go thru this thread..

Material Master weight issue while packing

Hi Frnds
I have an issue with the incorrect weight calculation while packig the material in delivery.
The business process requires the product to be sold in packs (5/10/25/50/100). The product is placed in a tray that holds these products which is a pre-packing step. Therefore the weight of the tray is included in the material master.
But the wieght of the packs vary within themselves, the weight of a 10 pack tray will be diff then the weight of a 100 pack tray. Also it can be possible if a customer orders a 100 pack product the our shipping team may give him 2packs of 50 instead of one pack of 100. The weight variance is generally observed on lrge orders, when the acual weight is off XX lbs than the SAP calculated weight.
How do i take the weigh of the tray into consideration when delivering different packs???

hi
u can go with pop1 instruction, where in u can specify whether the weight of the packaging material to be considererd or not can be specified.hope u can go with packaging instruction to solve ur issue.better consult with ur SD consultant.

LSMW- Material Master Performance issue

Hi All,
We are using the prgoram RMDATIND to upload material master through LSMW and having a problem of performance while using this technique.
Have 4Lak records to be uploaded in 10 hrs as it required to upload all views.
Pl advice except separate the records.Is that any option to run the file in parallal views?
Regards,
Asirvad

I think best option is to break the file up into many chunks that can be processed in parallel. If this is not an option then you need to consider what is on the selection screen of RMDATIND, for example "Create change documents". Is this required for your purposes as this takes a lot of time.
The other thing I would suggest is to talk to your basis team because there are settings and config they can put in place to aid this load.

Edited by: sap11 on Sep 3, 2009 3:29 PM

Hi,
It means that material is not created in the system or someone has defined the date to be used i.e active from to date in t.code MM13. And if u r getting this message for some particular view than it means view is not created for the material.So u have to create the view before displaying it.

Material Master block Issue

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to block the newly created materials from using in procurement or production until a BOM and Routing
is created for the same.
I tried applying a delete block after creating the material and thought that the same can be removed after creating BOM and Routing. But I realized that SAP doesn't allow creating BOM for a material with deletion flag.
I am wondering if there is any way we can achieve this functionality. Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi,
You can block the material at Client level and at Plant level
At Client Level in MMR under Basic data screen X-Plant Material Status
At Plant level in MMR under purchasing screen Plant Specific material status

HI,
ADK-based archiving relies on two main elements, which are used for the development and administration of archiving solutions: Archive Development Kit (ADK) and Archive Administration (transaction SARA).
ADK and SARA are part of the standard SAP Web Application Server. ADK is the Application Programming Interface used by the applications to develop archiving solutions, while Archive Administration (transaction SARA) is used mainly by data archiving administrators to manage all tasks related to data archiving, including job scheduling and management, writing, reading and deletion of data, as well as Customizing.

Hi Kumar,
If a purchase order, Open production order or any other Dependency exists for the material, Material master record cannot be archived and deleted at a given organizational level, the reason will be given in the log the log also contains technical data. check all dependencies for the materials and up on clearing them flag the materials for deletion first and then Archive them.

Issue In Material Master Creation.

Hi All,
We are migrating from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0.
We have created a Test system in 6.0 which is replica of our existing Production system in 5.0. I have checked relevant config settings everything is ok.
While doing testing we observed following issues:
1.) We are not able to Create Master Data which is Material Master, after entering all relevant information we are getting error: erro Log for the same says:
1.) E MG 144 : The field 'Care Code' is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry MARA-CARE_CODE
2.) The field 'GI Proc. Time' is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry MARC-GI_PR_TIME
3.) E MG 144 : The field 'Purchasing Across Purchasing Group' is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry MARC-MULTIPLE
Please sugest if there is any SAP Note we need to implement for this.
thanks & regards,
Prashant Rathore.

Hi Prashant,
the 'required'-state as well as the occurance of a field on a screen
can be customized. You should proceed as follows to resolve the issue:
1. Call transaction OMSR
2. Press the 'Field Name'-Button, enter a field there, for instance
    MARA-CARE_CODE, and press enter. This will lead you to the
   settings for that field.
3. Now press the button with the green arrow on the right to the field.
   By this, yopu reached the screen where field selection can be
   maintained, the decision whether the field should be required
   is customized.
4. The above list is the list of fields which are customized together,
   as a field selection group. The below list defines whether the field
   is required. If you dont use that field at all, it should be
   sufficient to take care that for no field reference, 'entry required'
   is switched on.
5. Now proceed the same for the other fields, which have not been in
   the same field selection group.
Regards,
Mauro
