Material Master description change

Hi All,
I have a PO created for a material and the PO is released at all levels. Now i change the description of the material using MM02. Now if i check in the PO it is not showing the new description in the short text field.
I made changes to the Vendor name and i see the New name coming up in the PO when i open the PO
Question:
WIll the new description of the material gets displayed on the already existing PO for that material or this new description gets appended only for the Purchase orders which are created after the description change
Please let me know
regards
Pavan

Hi,
PO created before Changes hence they are not comming in old documents.
We cna corelate with following example -
E.g.
u have original docuement (Matrial Master)
u have taken a Xerox copy of that ( Created PO )
now
u have changed the origional document (Material Master)
Changes will never reflect in Xerox Copy unless u get the new xerox or u need to change it manually
but yes u can one thing change it manually-
Remove the line item system will ask u about enter material number then add the same material number u will get the new desription
regards,
sujit

You can maintain Description in Material Master PO Text also, which you can print in PO or you can use Additional Data --> Basic data text

Service Master / Activity Master description change Issue

Dear Experts,
I am facing problem with Service master / Activity Master description change problem.
Steps in the problem -
1) Service Master / Activity Master created.
2) Long term purchase order (with large quantity) is created.
3) Service entry sheet and Invoice has been posted for the Purchase Order.
Due Service master / Activity master description change requirement from client, description of the
Services are changed.
But it is not updated in Purchase order. (As purchase order has been created before service master description change)
and when i am trying to post next service entry sheet with reference to the long term purchase order created,
it is not adopting the new one service description.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Kiran
The solution to your issue could be achieved as follows:
In the item level 'Service' tab for the corresponding PO line item, change the quantity to which you have already made Service Entry sheet. Then create a new line item with the Service number, once you enter the Service number you would see the new description here. Then when you create a Service Entry sheet with reference to PO, the system would ask you to select one of the two entries you have in PO. Here select the new entry which you have made.
Thanks

Automatic Trigger of Idoc Sending to PI on Material Master Create/Change

Hi All,
I would like to ask how to automatically trigger sending of idoc on material master create/change without using a standard transaction like BD10. I already tried using MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE in the material master change user exit. It does send the idoc but my problem is when an inbound idoc creates a material, it will then pass through the userexit and use MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE again.
Any suggestions? Or do you have a better solution for this? My requirement is when uer goes throgh MM01/MM02 an idoc will automatically be sent to PI.
Thanks.

First of all a quick comment to your present solution. If it works and your only problem is that you'd like to suppress triggering the IDoc creation when a material is created/updated via inbound IDoc then you might want to just fix that. There's many possible ways to approach this, it all depends how much you want to change and what your processes are (I sorted the listed ones in order of personal preference, though the list is not complete for sure):
<ul style="list-style:circle;">
<li>Export some flag to memory when processing an IDoc that you can import in your exit and thus recognize that you don't want to send an IDoc. Depending on how you are processing your inbound IDoc BAdI BADI_MATMAS_ALE_IN might work; you might find others if this is not applicable or sufficient. If you're working on ECC 6.0 you could also consider coding the export of the flag in an implicit enhancement spot in your function modules used for IDoc processing.</li>
<li>Evaluate in your existing coding the transaction code SY-TCODE; most likely you should see a clear difference between your IDoc processing and the other updates where you want to trigger the IDoc.</li>
<li>Most likely the IDoc processing triggers function module MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK (e.g. MATERIAL_INPUT_MATMAS01 does); this function module uses a global variable FLAG_BAPI_CALL to indicate the non-dialog processing. So if you feel adventurous you could evaluate this flag in your coding.</li>
</ul>
Change pointer won't really do you any good if your functionality is already working without them apart from the trigger. Even if you write change pointers, you still have to implement the trigger functionality, so essentially back to square one...
In general another good option is often to use workflow events that are already triggered. I.e. in your case business object BUS1001006 almost does the trick. It has events for ViewCreated and Created, but unfortunately lacks events for material updates (and I didn't see any other appropriate object that has it and a quick trace while updating a material didn't fire any appropriate event).

Material Master- Display changes thr' Z-program

Hi,
I have created two custom fields in MM01, which appear as DISPLAY
only fields.
The value in these fields is populated depending on some another
Z-field. This value is populated in database table thr' one Z-program.
But reqmt is like, whenever the value is changed thr' Z-program,
material master - Environment Menu>Display changes, should display the
change history for that material.
Can we use some 'CHANGEDOC*' function modules in Z-program so that it
will record the user name , tcode, time and date in CDHDR table?
If yes, what are those FM's and what should be the sequence for using
those function modules?
Thanks in advance,
Prasad

Hello,
First you will have to go to the domain level and click a flag for change documents in attributes. Once you have done that you need to put those fields in the object for mara. For that you need to go to transaction SCDO. Find the the material object and add your fields there. Do not forget to regnerate teh program. Now once you have done that try to see if you are getting the change pointers if not then you will have to code to create the same using these

SCD0 Change document creation
CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE Change document: Close change document creation
CHANGEDOCUMENT_INSERT_NUMBER
CHANGEDOCUMENT_IS_GENERATED
CHANGEDOCUMENT_MULTIPLE_CASE Change document: Create change document items (multiple case)
CHANGEDOCUMENT_OPEN Change document: Open change document creation
CHANGEDOCUMENT_PREPARE_TABLES Change document: Edit tables for change document
CHANGEDOCUMENT_SINGLE_CASE Change document: Create change document items (single case)
CHANGEDOCUMENT_TEXT_CASE Change document: Create change document items (text case)

Report to display material master data changes

Hi,
Is there a standard report available to display all changes to material master data over a specified time frame i.e all changes made alst week,all chnages made today.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Appart from MM04, you can also have a look at MM03 or MM02:
1. Goto MM02 or MM03 transactions and enter the material.
2. Select the relevant views for which you want to have the details.
In the Bar menu follow the path Environment -> Display changes.
Here you will get the list of changes done to the fields with Old and
New values.
Appart from these two tools, there is not any other report provided in the standard for this target.
I hope this helps!
Esther.

Material Master Mass Change

Hi Experts,
PLease explain me abt the mass change of Material Master.. the detailed steps to be followed for the change
I know the tcode MM17, please explain the process in that transaction

You also have tcode MASS for more mass modification.
Use object type BUS1001 and generate. Then you have to know the tables where the field you want to modify is.
Pick the fields in their folder and generate again. Then in selection pick the materials or use other selection criteria. Generate again.
In the upper side of the screen insert the data and click the button 'carry out a mass change'.
Save and leave.

Material Master Field Change

Hi Experts
I have a Field in MRP2 View MARC -> Field LGPRO (Issue Storage Location).
I am using MRP2 view, only for this field.
1) Is it possible I can move this Field to Plant/Storage location view ??
2) How to restrict this setting only for particular material types.
Regard

You need to move the entire sub screen. If you go to SPRO->logistics General> material master>configuring material master--> define structure of data screens for each screen sequence. Say select 21 that is std ind ( short) tab pages and make a copy of that say Z1. In that if you go to MRP2 view the sub screen containing storagelocation field is with screen number 2484.
Now if you go to Plant storage data view 1 and select dialog structure subscreens; here the screen with 0001 can be changed to 2484. However since this is related to MRP view the maintainance status needs to be changed to D from L else you will not be able to see the fields. But if you change the status to D the orginal sub screens of Plant data/storage1 will not appear.
You will have to check that these subscreens can be moved to Gen plant data/storage2.
Finally you need to assing this Z1 under same node but assign screen sequences to user/material type/transaction/industry sector under that
SREf Trans Sref user Sref Matl type Sref : industry Ssq
01 * relevant material type * z1 ( the one which was created as above)
However material master being very critical it is advised not to make such changes and if any changes are made it has to be thoroughly tested for the impact.

Udating material master with changed planned delivery time in contract

Hi experts ,
My question is while we are changing the planned delivery time in the contract we need to udate the same in the material master table . so how to update the material master table with new planned delivery time. Is there any FM exits to udate it and if it is then how to use it.
thanks
Anshuman

Hi Madhu ,
You are right we can use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA but if we use it then we have to use BAPI_COMMIT also to make sure that all the changes are saved completly and if we do BAPI_COMMIT then it maye commit all the task which is in queue and it need to update later. So it is again a issue .
Thanks
Anshuman

Message Type for Material Master Data Changes

Hi all
I'm managing Message Types for Material Master Data extraction from R\3 system to BW system, in order to load on BW only the changes done to some fields of MARA table that are delta relevant.
Now from R/3 BD50 Transaction I can see that there is a message type that refer to changes done on MARA fields: RS0044.
I would like to replace this message type with another one (RS0020) in order to align different systems.
Now changes to material master data in R/3 system are recorder with both message types but only those with RS0044 message type are processed and loaded into BW system.
So I would like to know:
1. How is the message type related to the DataSource 0material?
2. is it possible to replace a message type for BW?
3. if yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Oscar!
At the moment I'm using Delta queue of 0MATERIAL. I know that in the queue there are all the new and changed records.
But I would like to be able not to load all the changed records, but only those that refer to some fields of MARA table.
E.g. if the gross weight of a material is modified I don't want to load this change on BW with Delta loading .
I've seen that from R/3 Transaction BD52 you can set only delta relevant fields referred to a specific message type and to delete the other fields.
As I'm able to do this directly in the Development system and Test System, I haven't got the authorization of doing it in the Production system.
That's why I need to include this setting in a CR and then ask to transport it from Test to Production system.
But message types referred to MARA field changes are different between the two systems.
And it seems they are automatically created.
Is it true?
Thanks
Elisa
