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.

Mass changes of Material Master field with different values

Hi,
How to change a field in Material Master for more than thousand materials. I think MM17 can only be used for mass changes of materials with same values. I need to upload different values for different materials. Is there any other way to do this.
Thanks,
K R Vishnu Kumar

Hi Kumar.
I think you have to use LSMW for mass updation for Material Master fields with different values.

Material master Fields Mandatory

Hi Guys,
i want to make some field mandatory, in Sales Org view of material master, Please help me where i have to go in SPRO for such setting
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
First go to the respective field for which it has to be made mandatory. Note down the Table name and field name.
Go to SPRO--> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Assign Fields to Field Selection Groups.
click the position field name button and enter the table name - field name (eg MARA-TRAGR for Transportation Group). Note down the Selection Group. Then go to
SPRO--> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
Kindly mention the field selection group that has been noted earlier and press enter.
Then in the middle Field Selection (Field Selection Group 1) can be seen select the field reference of the material type or MM01 for Create Material Master or MM02 for Change Material master as hide, display, reqd entry and Opt. entry.
Hope it will be useful, if so mention.

Locking and locking material master fields

Hi Experts
I have a scenario where we need to lock material master field to be locked once data is maintained in the field so that its not editable for the users to change by the users, later the change should be possible for the field through an interface.
Any inputs on how to achieve this.
Thanks
Vickey

Im not sure how to get a direct solution for your scenario, but maybe you can use Authorization group to control who can access to this material instead?
Just a thought.

Material master fields on plant level

Hi all,
is it possible that i can restrict fields on plant level, like one material type one field i want mand. in one plant and optional in other plant.
regards,
qsm sap

hi,
Yes, it posible:
go to SPRO
Logistics - General-> Material Master->Field Selection->Define Plant-Specific Field Selection and Plant-Specific Screen Selection (OMSA)
see the settings for the plant in field reference - you need a diferent reference to the diferent plants (group together similar plants - all the ones that you want the field to be mandetory should have the same field reference)
now go to OMS9 or OMSR
and set the field as mandetory for the field reference you have made in OMSA
good luck

first copy the screen field of mateiral master to get this press F1 on the the field adn from technical tas copy the the screen field (e.g MRP group MARC-DISGR) then go to OMSR transaction and hit field name and enter the value you have copy from mateiral
once you see that field on the screen then hit the Green yellow arrow from right side of screen whic will take the screen where oyu can make optiona, reqd or hide field.
but make sure here you make setting at appropriate field ref other wise it will impact many transaciton

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.

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.
Elisa

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

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
Regards
Merwyn

Material Master Field Restriction

Hi Team!
is it possible to restrict the setup of some specific field for an specific view in Material master, and let the rest of the field to be updated for the normal users that used to?
the views that I'm talking about are the MRP1 & MRP2 at the material master, the idea is that no one can modify certain fields that belongs to them,
could it be possible, pls let me know.
regarDs!!

Hi
You cannot restrict the material master feilds based on the user, because the feilds in the material master are not user specific.
It is based on the material type and also you can modify based on plant specific and industry specific.
May be you wont give certain users for authorization for MM02 transaction ,for that you cantact the SAP security guys in your
team,
If you want no one can change the MRP veiws you can do in the configuration settings,T,code OMSR the table name is MARC and based on the feild name you select the Display only, so no one can change the values.
Thanks
