Material master creation for Engineering client

Hi All MM Experts,
We are implemeting sap for an engineering client. He receives the metal sheets of various dimensions and maintain them in stock. as and when the requirement comes from the production department, the sheets are cut into different shapes. i need to track the dimensions of each sheet.my question is where i can maintain the three dimensions of the sheet and how my reports are generated giving the actual dimensions which i have in the stock.
please help me with this typical scenario.
All suggestions are rewarded.

Hi Venkata
It seems you need to use classification and characteristics to acheive this . using class type 300 (variant).

Approval for Material Master Creation !

Dear All ,
My requirement is to have approval process for Material master. is it possible.?
My Client is expecting approval process same like PO ( release strategy )
Is there any standard approval process for every masters which are created as part of MM transactions.
Can it be achieved by means of any workflow.?
Thanks
Jinoy

Hi,
Yes it can be achieved by Work flow & also through the Enterprise Portal development.
If you have Workflow consultant you can take a help in setting up the approval for Material master creation.
If you want high fund & centralization of Material master you can go for EP development but Cost & effort will be on higher side.
Discuss with your Workflow consultant he will help you.

Material Master creation workflow

Hi everyone....
Last week I went on the BIT601 training course and I'm now tryinig to create my first workflow for material master creation, so please forgive my rather noobish questions. I think this must be a common workflow but I'm sure every company has a different process.
My process is as follows:
- User creates basic data view for material master in MM01.
- Workflow is triggered when material is saved.
- Work item arrives in inbox of master data enigneer who completes all material master views.
- Mail is sent to workflow initiator to inform that material is complete.
- End of workflow
I have defined the start event CREATED from business object BUS1001006 in my workflow definition. I have defined a standard task for the first step in my workflow using bus object BUS1001006 with method Create. The workflow starts correctly however ...
My question is how do I get the material number to pull through to my first step? I am assuming I need to setup some binding to pull the material number into the workflow container?
Can someone please point in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Neil

wow, thanks for the super quick reply Rob!
I figured it must be some binding I had not done.
So ... I go to my Start events in my workflow header, I see I have only the "auto-generated" binding i.e. EVTCREATOR > WFINITIAOR ....
now, I see EVTOBJECT as a possible container object from the event side of the window (left hand side) but what do I link it too? I was kinda expecting to see my business object as a possible container object in the workflow side of the screen (right hand side).
I really hope that makes sense... If I understand correctly, the idea is to link the event object to the business object container element ... but if thats the case why can't I see my business object in the workflow side of the binding window?
Many thanks for taking the time to help a noob
[edit] ... I may have partially answered my own question ... I think I need to define the properties of my business object in my workflow container element such that its is an input field? ...
I'm going home now... will carry on with this in the morning.

Workflow to approve Material Master creation

Dear all,
I would like to create workflow to approve Material Master creation as below:
When Material is created -> Check & Approval (Yes) -> Material is active
-> Check & Approval (No) -> Material is inactive
How can I do that?
Could you pls help me to solve this?
Thanks,
CH

Hi,
Before designing the workflow, you need to find what is the business object and what is the event which gets triggered when material master is created... you can do that using event trace....
1. SWELS - switch on trace
2. Create material
3. SWEL - check trace to find which event is fired
This will give you business object name..
Now start building workflow using SWDD... Go thru basic steps for designing workflow...

Block PO creation for engineered items

Hi,
We want to block creation of PO for engineered items till engineering is complete. A PR can be created but it should not be possible to convert the PR to PO.
I know that we can use "plant specific material status" field in the material master to achieve this. But I just wanted to check if there is any other way of doing it, may be from a material BOM?
Regards,
V S

select the item in the PR and click the lock icon.
a lock will block this item from beeing used in purchasing.
And you remove this lock when you want the requisition be converted to a PO.
Alternative you could control it with a release strategy, where you just approve the requisition when you are done with the rest of your work.

Defaulting values in material master creation

Hi,
I want to have some filed values to be appeared as default in all the views while creation of material master.
By user settings, I can restrict Org level values such as C Code,S Org Distribution Channel etc etc.
But how to make field values such as account assignment grop,division,valuation class,price control,transport grp,loading grp etc appearing default so that user does not have to think.
Regards,
manOO

Hi,
You can set values for Parameter IDs of the fields that you want to default.
Set values in system -> user profile -> own data under parameters tab.
For example Disision's parameter id is 'SPA'. You can set a default value for division by giving proper value for SPA under parameters data in own data.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Material Master Creation Using BAPI

Hi,
I m using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA for Material creation using BAPI.
Now the problem is , i have created a Screen exit long back in Purchasing view.. the corresponding Z field is created in table MARC..
How can i pass value to this Z field using BAPI.
i tried with BAPI_MARC.. my Z field is not coming in that structure.
Can anyone guide me how can this be achieved.
Thanks in Advance
Aravindh Mani

Hi,
The Function Module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA has the options to pass the Z fields. There exits a structure parameters
EXTENSIONIN
EXTENSIONINX
in BPAI. In EXTENSIONIN pass the data and value part you can pass in EXTENSIONINX. So this will update the Z fileds in material
master .

Default material code during material master creation

Dear All,
           While I am trying to create any material in MM01 screen , system automatically takes a material code .So I have to remove that code from there then put my desired material code and then proceed .
            I want to know why system takes that perticular code during material code creation .I want to remove it permanently .
            Please suggest what I have to do ?
Regards
Abhijit Das

Dear Abhijit,
Material Number range & Internal or external number range setting is done in SPRO under
Logistic General>material master>basic setting>material type>Define number range for a perticular material type.
Now if u want to have your own desired code go on above path,Select your material type & tick for external number range & give range of external number( interval).
This will solve your problem,
Vivek

Bydefault selection of profit centers during material master creation.

Dear SAP Experts,
My business wants that when ever they want to create a new material the profit center field should come bydefault after the selection of the plant.
Each plant has been associated with a profit center.
Is it possible , If yes then How.
Please guide me.
Regards
Debjeet Banerjee

There is no direct link of profit center and plant , the profit center is linked with plant via material master.So you cannot default the profit center when you select the plant while creating the MMR.
Better try with any custom table were you can make this link and default it while creation of material master.

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
