Material master codification & inventory mgmt- construction industry

Hi,
I am designing the process for a client in the construction industry. The implementation will include integration with PS module. The client is working on different projects and the materials requirement for each project differ from the other.
Example:
Though i may have pipe at a broad level, the requirement of pipes is based on the diameter of pipes and this would ideally form multiple material codes.
I want to know, if any of you have come across such a scenario where creation of material master to the lowest level of specification will be very tedious. And also the same material specification may not be used in more than a project.
But at the same time, the client wants to track his inventory based on the specifications of pump received and issued / consumed.
thanks

hi,
would appreciate any help on this.
thanks

  • How to modify  industry sector of material master data

    dear all:
    i have already created a material master data using a wrong industry sector through tcode MM01.
    and i have created BOM&ROUTTING for this material.
    now ,i want to modify the  industry sector of  this  material.
    what should i do for this case?
    thank you!
    best regards!

    Hi,
    Industry sector is at client level & once you create the material you can't change the industry sector.
    However, if you have debug rights then you can change it directly in the table MARA with field MBRSH.
    Hope your query get resolved.
    Thanx

  • Industry sector in material master

    Dear all,
    May I know what are the guide lines to select Industry sector to configure material master.
    What are all the SAP standard Industry sector available?
    Can we use any indutry sector for any type of business. How to choose this.
    please advise.
    Thanks
    Udaya

    Hello Udaya,
    Branch of industry.
    The industry sector groups together companies according to their activities (for example, plant engineering and construction, mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, and the pharmaceutical industry).
    Table-driven program support is provided according to industry sector; for example, for the selection of data fields on-screen, for the sequence of the screens, and for the allocation of a material to a material type.
    Industry Sector :
    Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
    Use
    When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
    which screens appear and in what order
    which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens.
    Thanks
    Geeta

  • Ignificance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master

    hi all,
    We need information on the significance of the Industry Sector selection in the Material Master field. I understand that it can influence field selection and the screen sequence of the material master record.  We are particularly interested to know the influence of the industry sector u201CPharmaceutical Industryu201D .
    Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    Please check follwoing links
    [MM01- Industry  Sector;
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ff/515b3149d811d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm]
    1. Define Industry Sectors and Industry-Sector-Specific Field Selection (transaction OMS3) -> assign a field reference to field selection
    2. Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens (transaction OMS9) -> define a specific field selection for a field selection group (for example, depending on industry sector (the field reference appears on the lower table control).
    Like the material type, the industry sector also has a control function. When you create a material master record, the industry sector determines:
    Which screens appear and in which order
    Which industry-specific fields appear on each screen
    The industry sector you assign to a material cannot subsequently be changed. In Customizing, you can define new industry sectors and maintain the field reference for field selection control according to your enterprise-specific requirements.
    Most data in the material master record can be maintained directly by the user. But some information is automatically updated by the system. When you enter goods movements, for example, the system updates the stock and consumption data. Statistical information, such as the date of original creation and that of the last change, can be invoked with , with the quick-info text Information on material.
    Some data in the material master is used for information purposes only, for example, description, size, and dimensions. Other material data has a controlling function in an application. For example, the MRP type controls the MRP procedure and the price control indicator determines which material valuation procedure is used

  • Inventory management: posting block :  material master field

    Hi,
    In het material master you have a field  Physical Inventory Blocking Indicator, but when I create a counting document (MI01) with posting block. The field in the material master is still blank. How can this happen?
    Best regards,
    Eric.

    Hi Eric,
    I guess there is some inconsistency in your system,
    Please refer to the SAP Note 355939 & 192571 and you might be able to fix the bug..
    Note 355939
    Summary
    Symptom
    This note is only of importance for you if you execute physical inventory functions using the R/3 System. The inconsistencies can usually be adequately eliminated using Note 192571. This note is only intended for customers who did not discover the inconsistency in the first period of the new fiscal year and who now have problems with the physical inventory indicators.
    Additional key words
    RMMMPERI, MMPV, physical inventory, PIINKON, MARD-KZILL, MARD-SPERR
    Cause and prerequisites
    See Note 192571.
    Solution
    To eliminate the inconsistencies, carry out the following steps in the corresponding sequence:
    1. Implement the corrections from Note 192571
    2. Also implement the attached correction instructions
    3. Start program ZREPPI_FLAGS (from Note 192571)
    4. Start program ZINVUT30 (from Note 67072)
    Source code corrections
    Note 192571
    Summary
    Symptom
    Preliminary note:
    This note only applies to you if you execute physical inventory functions in the R/3 System.
    In the log of the period closing program running during the fiscal year change, the number of the records closed does not correspond to the actual number of records in the corresponding stock table on the database.
    As a result, the physical inventory indicators were not moved from the current fiscal year to the previous year in the records that are not closed. This means that materials, for which a physical inventory was carried out in the previous year, are dealt with by the system as if a physical inventory has already been carried out in the current year.
    This problem can affect materials created before the upgrade to Release 4.5.
    Additional key words
    RMMMPERI, MMPV, inventory, PIINKON, MARD-KZILL, MARD-SPERR
    Cause and prerequisites
    The problem is caused by a program error.
    Solution
    If you have not yet carried out the fiscal year change (for example, if you have a fiscal year variant with non-calendar fiscal year), the attached correction can correct the error.
    If you do not yet use Release 4.5B with at least Hot Package 09, in the four following form routines you must implement the deletion/insertion sequence listed in the attachment only once. Do not implement them twice each time as described in the "Corrections" section.
    - Form MARD_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
    - Form MCHB_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
    - Form MSKA_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
    - Form MSKU_UPDATE_JW_DB2DB4
    Caution: Implement the corrections WITHOUT comment lines or added comments !!!
    Comments between EXEC SQL and ENDEXEC can lead to the 'DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR' at the fiscal year change.
    If you carried out the fiscal year change in Release 4.5 or 4.6A and use R/3 Physical Inventory Management, you can, after implementing the attached correction in your system, repair the affected records as follows:
    Run correction report ZREPPI_FLAGS.
    After the execution of report ZREPPI_FLAGS, you should implement report ZINVUT30 mentioned in Note 67072 in your system and execute the report for those materials for which a physical inventory has already been executed in the current fiscal year.
    If you recognize the inconsistency only in a later period, also refer to Note 355939.
    Trust this helps

  • Depreciation of inventory in material master

    Hi
    I have a customer who would like to depreciate the inventories kept in the material master with 2% per month, the only criteria for the material is that it has been used.
    Please advice
    BR
    Elisabeth

    Hello Elisabeth
    There are 2 options
    1. You devaluate your inventory everymonth by 2 %. This can be done through standard MM transaction.
    2. You transfer your 2% of inventory everymonth to fixed asset (using MM movement type which is meant for this) and depreciate the asset in the same month using a suitable depreciation key.
