Material Master Characteristics Assignment

Hello,
I would like to maintain characteristics for selected materials; the idea is to provide a dialogue in which the characteristics an be maintained and saved.
For this I defined a sub-screen in which I called the screen for the character maintenance (same from the material master):
call subscreen subscreen_chars including 'SAPLCTMS' '4000'.
The Screen 4000 in program SAPLCTMS will be called as sub-screen; but only a few characteristics will be displayed.
Before I call the screen 4000 I think there are some preparations necessary, such as filling buffers, etc.
Does anybody have experience with this handling?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Kurt.

Hello J@Y,
thank you for your answer.
The sub screen is a part of a bigger application; the application itself needs to get the characteristics and post the data.
I'm looking for a kind "interface" to set my data to the program SAPLCTMS; in PAI of my screen I would like to get the entered character values.
Is there any function module within program SAPLCTMS that can be used to get/set the characteristics data?
Thanks & best regards,
Kurt.

Rough material master record assignment to PC

Hi,
I have some doubts with assignment of PC in Rough materials master.
I have created following PC groups:
- Production ADM (with 3 Production Profit centers)
- Products (with many Product PC for Finished Goods)
- Services (with some Service PC for Services)
- Commodities (with some Commodity PC for Commodities)
I have problems with assignment of Rough materials. Don't know where to attach them. Do I need to create Technical PC's for Rough materials or should I attach them somewhere else?
What will happen if a Rough material is normally used for further manufacturing, but sometimes it is sold as a product? What should I do in such a situation?
Do I have to use substitution to assign proper PC in the SD order line item? (for example to change Technical PC of rough material into PC for selling rough material)
Best wishes,
karol

Hi,
You need not assign Raw(Rough) Material to a profit center. Materials are assigned to Plants, Plants to Purchase Org. and Purchase Orgs. to CC. PC's are assigned to CC(Company Code).
Cost Centers are assigned to Profit Centers. Manufacturing process are defied through BOM & Routings, hence the cost centers to be hit by the mfg. process are defined there.
With the cost center determination in Routing the respective entries are passed in the Profit Center.
If you are selling a rawmaterial you need to maintain the sales org. views for the material. And the price in the Accounting 2 View of the Material master. These are the pre-requisites for the sale.
Profit Center needs to given manually at the time of Sale, i suppose.
Hope this clarifies your query

Account assignment group is different in Intercompany Billing from Material Master

Hello,
Account assignment group is different in Intercompany Billing from Material Master.
Account assignment group in Billing and Intercompany Billing is feched from Material Master.
In Material Master, account assignment group is assigned as 12.
In Billing, account assignment group is 12 but in Intercompany Billing, account assignment group is 13.
Please help me to understand why in Intercompany Billing, account assignment group is 13.
Best Regards,
Debashri Dutta

Check the table MVKE for the values maintained for field KTGRM. You can see the sales org-DC combinations for which the AAG is maintained as 13 for this material. This may give you clues for investigation.

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

No delivery expediter for PO item without material master

Hello gurus,
when I create a PO with an item without material master (just user-defined text), my system does not create a delivery expediter in ME91F, although the delivery is overdue. When I use a material master in the item, the expediter is created just fine.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks
Alicia

Hi,
Check in ME22N, under "Delivery" Tab whether following is maintained
Reminder 1
Reminder 2
Reminder 3
If not then maintain ad if you want it to come automatically in PO then check in SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master > Here assign the Purchasing Value Key to the material group
It will start picking it for this material group for Text PO also.

Material without material master record

Dear All,
i want material without material master record by using account assignment category k. how can i do that. item category should be standard. i will use another material group with a different valuation class.
regards,
qsm sap

Hi,
In ME21N, In case of w/o material master purchases (Text Purchases), do not enter material code in PO, Enter following details;
Account Assignment Category (For e.g. K - Cost Center),
Item Category - Blank
Short Text,
Quantity,
UoM,
Material Group,
Plant,
Gross Price, etc...
Then Save it.
2. MIGO - GR w.r.t. PO
It will Debit Expense A/c and Credit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
3. MIRO - LIV w.r.t. PO
It will Credit Vendor A/c and Debit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
And if you want account determination on the basis of material group then do following config.
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material master > Entry Aids for Items without an material master > here assign different valuation classes to different material groups as per your Accounting requirement.
And then do necessary account determination in OBYC for the Valuation classes, T/E Key "GBB" and Val. modifier "VBR"

Thnk in Advance

Hi There
In material master you can assign the class in the classification view, it will provide the characteristics, that will flow when you do the receipt there you can enter the values or Create Batch-MSC1n and Change batch MSC2n, you can enter the characteristics values,,
I dont have clue why you are trying to enter the values in material master,,,
In CL02- Create the class and assign the characteristics (Create the Charac T code CT04)
Provide more details to check further,,,
Thanks

Copy of Batch characteristics value from material master to Batch

Hi Gurus,
I have maintained some values in the characteristics under batch classification in material master and want to copy the values in batch characteristics during batch creation at process order release.
Can any one help me to achieve this in standard way?
Thanks
Sandip

Hi,
Try to understand the batch classification functionality...In batch classification characteristic values changes from batch to batch...Values should not be maintained in the material master...it does not have any meaning...in the material master we need to assign only the batch class with class type 023 in classification view ...no need to assign the values there....Batch classification means characteristics values differs from batch to batch...
Thanks

Picking or copying Characteristics Value from material master

Dear Experts,
Please i create five Characteristics which i assign to a Class ( of type 022 ). The Class is then assigned to materials in the classification View of the Material Master.
I want one of the five Characteristics to copy its values from specific parameter value maintaned in the Material Master.
Please assist on how to accomplish this?
I did the following but did not get the desired results; While creating this Characteristic, in the Values Tab, I filled ''MARC'' in the Tablename field & in the Fieldname field, i enter the technical fieldname of the particular field from table MARC which i want.
I want this particular value to be automatically copied into the Characteristics Value field in the Foreground for eacb batch anytime Goods Receipt is done.
after doing this, anytime Goods Receipt is done & a batch number generated, it takes me to the Classification screen, but this particular field which i desire to be auto updated remains blank.
Please assist ?

Hi,
1. This will not automatically updated just as we wil fill the addtional date table and field.
2. you need to write the object dependency to get it updated when you call somewhere
3. Generally in the batch level you will be able to do this .( even you can use function / object dependency )

Characteristics shown wrongly for all classes in material master

I have material classes A,B & C with class type 001. I have maintained characteristics for class 'A' only and B and C classes doesn't have any characteristics. All these classes are assigned to a material. Interestingly, the characteristics contained in A are shown against B and C as well in the material master.
I am not sure what's happening. Please throw a light on the issue. Thanks

Hi Sravan
Since the class type is same, hence system is grouping all the characteristics defined in the classes A, B, & C

About Error in Assigning Characterstics in Material Master

HI
This is lingaraj khilar.I am facing the problem in assigning characteristics in material master.I have created batch classification for a raw material.After assigning the classification when i am gng to assign characterstics it has shown the error "Characteristic AGI_CAST_PC cannot be used for proportion or product units"
with Message No Message no. LB123.Here AGi_CAST is classification.So I want to revert back with solution.
Regards
Lingaraj Khilar

Hi,
I believe that you are trying to use the classification functionality in your material, fine
find the procedure and cross chekc whether you have used the same.
1. Define the charateristics and assign the value to it.
2. Define the class with class type 001.
3. Assign the charateristics tothe class.
4. use MM01/MM02> Classification--> Assign class Etc.
hope it helps..

How system take Material Assignment Group in Sale Invoice. Till now i am checking only Material master. Wht are the other parameters to define Material Assignment group in Sales invoice. <b>This is happending to particular one material only</b>
Pls guide me.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi
While you define account assignment in TCode VKOA, you have a provision for defining the gl accounts in the combination of the following:
1. Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey
2. Cust.Grp/Account Key
3. Material Grp/Acct Key
4. General
5. Acct Key
When you save an invoice it searches in the above order to find a GL account.
May be your setting would have been done only in 1st or 3rd ie., assining the GL account in the combination of Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey and GL Account. Hence if the combination doesn't, it would not generate the accounting document.
If your business process agrees you can define gl account in Account key (4) or General (5) also, by which it would generate an accounting document even if it finds a wrong material group.

Suraj

Cost center assignment based on material master

Hi Experts:
My client wants cost center assignment to be based on material master, for example, SAP system should be configured in a way that when costs arise due to a product price variance, then SAP should automatically post to the cost center for the specific brand instead of posting to only one default cost center. Is this really possible? In OKB9, I am only able to assign only one cost center to the GL account. Because of this, at the end of each month, the accountant manually allocates the costs from the overhead cost center to the respective cost centers for the brands which incurred this cost.
Is it possible to configure SAP to detect that the cost belongs to product A therefore post this cost to Cost center for product A; or this cost belongs to product B therefore post this cost to cost center for product B?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mariam.

Hi,
For your scenerio, try Derivative rule of Profit center. If you maintain Derivative rule for Profit center with product which is indirectly assigned to cost center.
For example :
Product A - Profit center1-cost center1
productB- Profit center2- Cost center2

Sreekanth
