Material master data maintenance strategy

Hi,
We are working on a global template to suggest Material master data maintenance strategy.
Please suggest what could be various options for same.
Regards,
Avnish

Hello,
In the same situation now:
1.  Suggestion is to load the Basic Data centrally, say from HQ
2.  Other data can be loaded via the subsidiary in the different countries.
3.  If required you can use a block or a material statu and have the HQ control the access to the other parts of the material master.
For your information, we have come across a big issue regarding this and only now we have begun the above method as my client's HQ controls the release of materials into the market.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the reply. i have solved most of errors. but there are some errors like this
    Diagnosis
        Data record 261 & with the key '000000000000132559 &' is invalid in
        value '10x8x5 &' of the attribute/characteristic 0SIZE_DIM &.
    System Response
        The system has recognized that the value mentioned above is invalid, and
        has processed this general error message. A subsequent message may give
        you more information on the error. This message refers to the same
        value, even though it does not state this explicitly.
    Procedure
        If this message appears during a data load, maintain the attribute in
        the PSA maintenance screens. If this message appears in the master data
        maintenance screens, leave the transaction and call it again. This allows to maintain your masterdata
    which string i should have to add in RSKC to remove this error ? i have already added  the ALL_CAPITAL, ALL_CAPITAL_PLUS_HEX.
    I have assigned points.

  • MM - Material master data - move standard field to another view

    Hi everyone,
    ÉCC 6.0 - release 7.0.
    I've been adding many custom fields in Material master data MM01/02/03. Now I got a problem because we have to use a standard field in another view.
    The field MARA-HERKL is set up to 'SV'(attribute V_130F-PSTAT):
    Warehouse management = S
    Sales = V
    I want to add 'K - Basic data' in this field's attribute at OSMR Tcode , but this attribute is disactivated. I can not change this value.
    I've check this note 306966 that mention: You cannot create new entries and delete entries in client 000. This client contains only the entries delivered by SAP which are used for distinguishing customer-specific fields and SAP standard during the maintenance of the other clients.
    Is there any problem whether I delete this field and afterwards create it with the new values?
    I'm not in client 000. So, I want to just make sure I will do a legal change.
    thank you in advance,
    Alexandre

  • Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

    Hi,
    Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
    Regards

    Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
    Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • Material master data upload in wms

    Dear all ,
    Kindly explain me how to upload the material master data in WMS.
    Thanx in advance.
    Regards,
    velu

    Hi Velu
    You have to load this in a normal way you do it with LSMW.
    Additionally you have to update the warehouse view fields too.
    Select the batch input recording in LSMW and go to the MM01 transaction enter all the required fields including WM views.
    If you handle material with fixed bin strategy & Replenishment scenario, you have to create a material by selecting the respective storage type in "selection view tab"

  • WM Material Master Data - extend materials inquiry

    I have a question regarding WM Material Master Data - extend materials
    what is the best practice for extending materials to Warehouse Management views 1 and 2. We have 1 new warehouse with fixed bins 001 Pallet, 002 Racking, 003 Floor, 004 Bins, 005 Chemicals, 099 Quarantine.  My question is should we extend 3000 materials to each of the designated fixed bins to the Plant/Warehouse Number/Storage Type for WM views 1 & 2?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    As suggested by Raj you can use Mass maintenance option MM17 to update the WM1 and WM2 view
    or
    You can use the LSMW option to upload from external  file (e.g. xls, CSV files)

  • Material master data complete in bi - infoset or multiprovider

    Hi all.
    for one of the reporting requirement of my client i need to extract the complete material master data in BI - from MARA, MARC, MARD, MSTLB tabls.
    which i have done and stored in the infoobjects - 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_ST_LOC, 0MAT_PLANT, 0MAT_SALES.
    now user want to see all the information against each material in 1 single line the multiple lines will only come in when there is plant.
    which approach i shoul go for this scenario.
    infoset or multiprovider.
    i created infoset by using inner join but then i see only common materials, left outer join is giving me problems.like -
    Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_PLANT)
    Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_ST_LOC)
    Invalid ON condition for left outer join (0MATERIAL)
    kindly give your suggesstions on this.
    thanks
    dipika

    Hello,
    There are restrictions regarding left outer join in infoset:
    If a left outer join is used, the following restriction applies to the right table (right operand):
    ·        Only join conditions with exactly one other table can be defined and
    ·        This table in turn cannot be a right table (right operand) of a left outer join.                                       
    Tables connected with left outer joins always form the end of a chain of tables. In this way, as many tables as you want can be linked in an InfoSet with a left outer join to a core of tables that are connected using inner joins.                                                
    The restrictions on the definition of left outer joins are due to the technical limitations of databases. These restrictions do not apply to inner joins.

  • Can we recieve goods for purchase order with out material master data in PO

    I have service PR for doing the services. I will  give the material which is not accounted ( no material in the PO)and raise PO with reference to production order. but once the service is done,that product will become a  material ( master data available) I have to receive the  final product.Can we do the GR for this product. If so ,could you please explain the scenario

    Hi Sankarkumar
    When you are issuing the material for servicing your existing inventory for the material  will be affected how you are plannignto handle that? You are receiving a different material once the serviceing is done then again yoour inventory will be affected for the new material.  If you do not intend to issue material in SAP then why are you worried when you are bringing the new material into SAP after servicing is over?  It is a subcontract scenario in a normal situation. But since you do not want then you can do a Service PO from the reqn and later use receipt without PO for bringing material in. Just speak to your finance guys how to set right the debit/credit amount resulted due to this transaction.

  • ALE:Material Master Data Distribution

    Hi
    I am new to ALE Material Master Data Distribution and if the questions are incorrectly worded, please accept my apologies. It is due to lack of knowledge.
    I am doing Material Master Data distribution and I am using standard basic type MATMAS03. The standard TCode MM01, MM02 has SAP tables and 3 custom tables.
    I have turned the active on using BD61 and change pointers to message type.
    Q: Is the change pointer, applicable to entire material master? i.e. if I change a field in Z table or standard material tables, can an IDOC be created for the entire material record?
    Q: What is the function of BD52? Does this override the option Activate Change pointers for message type? Does it mean, if the changes are made to those fields in BD52 a change pointer is created?
    Q: If I change Z table only, will there be a change pointer created? If not, how could I accomplish this using BD52.
    Q When do we use the enhancement MGV00001?
    Also, If you could add anything in addition to above queries, it will be helpful to me and I appreciate it.
    With regards,
    William

    Thank you Sudhakar.
    Your tips are good, but, I was not able to get the problem resolved.
    Let me explain what I have done based on your tips.
    1.  MATMAS uses MATMAS03. The basic type has NOT been modified to have z fields yet.
    2.  Using BD52, i have created the following fields
         MATERIAL    ZEMM_MARA_TECH   IM_ADVISORY_CODE
         MATERIAL    ZEMM_MARA_TECH   KEY.
    3.  Modified the MMR for IM_ADVISORY_CODE.
    I did not see a change pointer for this change.
    Q:  When I created above entry using BD52, was asking the table name. The table name is stored in TCD0B. What TCode is available the entries in TCDOB. For the time being, i created using SQL.
    Q. Is there a follow up configuration required to capture the changes?
    I will award the points in a couple of days time, even if I do not get the solution, because you have spent your precious time for the community. I will wait for a couple of days for other suggestions and close the Problem.

  • Material master data and Asset

    Hello Guys
    Considering the every material master data that I am buying will end up been an Asset in my company.
    I would like to know how can I alredy related the material master data that I am creating with a possible hierarchy to make it esier at the time of creating the asset?
    Some one could briefly explain to me how can I related the material master data and a creation of an asset in SAP?
    thanks

    Hi guys
    Jignesh Thakkar
    That was really good answer you gave it is according with the Help instruction that I read, but the main point for me is that I will not know the asset description or capitalized date or serial number,  location, etcu2026 until I goods receipt the individual material creating serial nods and the equipment master data.
    In this scenario from the equipment master data is there any way to create an Asset master data, create the asset master data with the information of the GR equipment master Data or populate the Asset AS01 with the equipment master data?
    Otherwise I will need manually create the Asset and manually synchronize the equipment with the asset?
    Thanks Guys it have been incredibly helpful this network I hope I can help some one in future as it have been helpful for me at the moment.

  • Update material master data BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE DATA

    Hi All,
    I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE DATA Fm to update the material master data .
    I want to change material type vend (which already existed) to HIBE material type .
    Even though Basic data view populated its not updating in Material master .
    Which views do i need to populate to change material type one value to other value?

    if you use FM - BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE DATA ,you can not update material type , use bdc program to update material type ,
    See the transaction : MMAM - No BAPI to update material type
    you need to use BDC Program.
    Reward Points if it is helpful
    Thanks
