Material Master for Maintenance material

In regards to a Material Master for a Maintenance storeroom Material, On the MRP 2 tab there is a field called Safety time/act.cov.
What is the difference between that and the planned delivery time of a material. I have tested both and they appear to do the same thing in materials planning. Can you tell me the differences between these 2 fields
Thanks

HI Yocoma,
The first difference I can site is that is in Workdays whereas Planned Delivery time is in Calender Days and is based on past experience

  • Creation of Material Master for a material with Material Type NLAG

    Hello Sirs,
         I have to create a material which will be consumed directly. I would use the
    material type NLAG (Non stock material). If I create a material with this material type, will it contain an Accounting view where in I can maintain the price of the
    material? If it contains an Accounting view, which type of Price control should be
    used (Moving average or Standard)? Further, can we maintain an info record for
    a material with material type NLAG?How the price updation happens?

    Hi Madhu,
        Thanks for your reply. But, I have one more doubt. For non stock materials, we
    will specify the cost centre and G/L account at the time of creation of Purchase order. Then, do we have to specify the valuation class at the time of creation of
    Material Master since there is no automatic account determination?

  • Copy of Automatic PO flag in Material master for Reference Material

    Hi all,
    For a Material 'X', Automatic PO flag is marked in Material master.
    Now, when I create a new material with reference to the above material 'X",
    Automatic PO flag is not copied to the 'Y' Material.
    When not adapted, manually we need to go to mm02 and mark the Automatic PO flag.
    Is there a possibility to adapt this such that the automatic PO flag is also copied when using the copy function in MM01.
    Regards,
    Suresh

    Suresh,
    Its a standared functionality, when you are copying the purchasing view, it has to copy the automatic PO check box also.
    There is no settings in system

    Hi Satyajit,
    Please look at OSS  Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
    Since  Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
    We may have same material in different IMs with different  plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs.  SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
    I hope this will  help you .

  • 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.

  • Material group in material master for different plants

    Warm greetings Masters of Material Management
    We have one material master for three different plants example  1000, 2000 &3000 with same material group  with different valuation class
    If we change material group in plant 2000 it is reflected in 1000 & in 3000
    My question is  this the standard practice that material group changed in one plant will be reflected in other plants
    Regards

    Thank u Amola  
    The current situation, if user change  material group for plant 2000, it is effected in plant 1000 & in 3000
    the impact of this is in purchase requisition
    As the release statergy  is triggered from material group    to different department
    How can we solve this issue

  • Error Field selection in material master for Tax

    While creating material master MM01 in Sales orgn tab when I am trying to save HST tax for Canada, it is disappearing. Although I have classified customer tax & material tax in IMG-Sales & distribution as 1 & 0 both.
    In MM I can see HST either 0 or 1 when pressing F4
    I tried Log General/Material Master/Field Selection/Maintain Filed selection for data screen
    I tried 0001 group but when opened it gives various numbers for optional/required/supressed/display entry
    Which number is used for TAX? I could not identified.
    Can any one tell me what is transaction code for field selection group for material master for making Tax Required Field?
    Thanks for help.

    Hello,
    Tax problem is resolved by me only.
    In Tax classification IMG/Sales & Dist/Taxes/Define Tax determination Rule
    HST number was 4 I made as number 1 followed by CTX1 as 2 CTX2 as 3.....so on
    So it picked up HST now as this was number one. Now in MM Tax is mandatory as I put 1 & in pricing it picked up.

  • Extending material master for different sales org/plant combination

    hi ,
    1 ) a material can be sold from one plant by many sales organisations. so we map this scenario in enterprise structure by the config step "assign sales org--dist channel--
    plant ". (let's say sales org A and B  selling from plant 1 and also sales org A selling from plant 2)
    when we have defined the above config step, then why we need to have material master extended for different combination of sales org and plant as in stpe 1 ?. we can just create one material master with one plant and sales org combination and based on config as in step one, we can sell material from any sales org from a plant  ?
    2) we can extend  material master for any combination of sales org/plant .....is it also possible to extend material master to different storage locations !

    Edited by: Pamela79 on Feb 15, 2011 11:02 AM

    There are several reasons why you should extend the materails to different sales organizations and plants.
    a. The materials are normally valuated at the plant level. So, you can have different valuations at different plants.
    b. You can have different quantity stored in different plants. How do you know which plant has what quantity.
    c. You can have materail not to be sold from one plant, but you can have the same materail sold from the other, how do you block it? at the plant and materail combination, you can do it.
    d. For different sales organizations, you may want the cost and the price to be posted to different GL accounts. You can control it at sales org level of the materail.
    e. You may just want the material to be purchased but not sold, then you may not even create a sales org view for the material. But say, in future you will like to only purchase a materail from a plant and consume it for some other purpose but not sales (which u did previously), then you can block it at sales org and dbr level.
    So, these are a few reasons. But there could be many. You can have a look at the fields in the material master at sales org level and plant level and you can find it for yourself howmany parameters are there to control...
    Hope this helps...

  • Material master for job work material

    Hi all!
      We are doing only job work for our customers and the products are not regular one . Its a one time job work.. i.e each time different material will come.. So each time i cant create a material master since the frequency is high That is we receive 100 different materials per week and do job work on that and send.. Same material will not repeat again..So how can we substitute of creating material master each time.. What is the solution for this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Raj.

    Hi vivek!
       Thanks for your reply..
    But what is the need of creating PO's.. I am simply receiving the material(non-valuated) form the customer and do some service in it and send it back to him.. I will process this via sales.. But my question is whether should i create a material master for each time i receive a new material since its one time job and weekly we r receiving around 100 new materials.
    Thanks,

  • Material master for Rods and Plates.

    Hi all!
       I need to know the answer for two critical questions in SAP-MM. I have asked this question some time before but have'nt got any replies. Here again i throw the same.
    1. How to maintain material master for Rods of various diameter and length. One thing is sure that ordering unit is 'Kgs' and Basic unit of measure is 'mm'. I have a typical example for this. Say 1kgs=30mm. I am purchasing 1000 kgs (i.e.30000mm). In GRN i can receive the material as a whole stock say 30000mm.
           But eventhough the total length of the stock is 30000mm where can i maintain the breakage.i.e. for example say,
       1000mm - 10 Nos. 2000mm - 5 Nos. 2500mm - 4 Nos.
    some of our friends are saying that we can map this via batch. But even batch is not possible. There is a reason. Say if length is the batch number and basic unit of measure is Nos, then how can you give the conversion between Nos & Kgs in additional data. For example how can i say 1000 kgs = 1 nos or 2 nos. This will be ridiculous then. I can give every dia available into different material codes. Thats not a problem. But how to receive rods in different length. I need the length & numbers combination. Also while issuing the materal after cutting numbers should reduce accordingly.
    2. How to maintain the material master for Plates of various thickness. I think we can use Kgs as ordering unit and Sq.mm as basic unit of measure. How can we map the material issues to production for these kind of materials. We are issuing the material after cutting in 2-D only of various sizes in same material. No 3 domentional cutting is done. I need  the lenght & width to be changed accordingly after issuing. 
    Thanks in advance,

    Raj.

    Dear
    ANS:
    First create different material code specific to length so identity of material at store will be their.(with specification at purchasing text tab)
    Now as ur sure with ordering unit keep as kg. (this is at info record level)
    Base UOM will be as MM (material master)
    So now about issue part keep conversion factor as u require and make some standard according ur client .

    Dear for this make material master as name with ur spacification and UOM as kg after cutting or processing according to Wight  u can make issue note in the system.
    Name as plate x*y sqr mm

  • Material master for packing materials for based on customers

    Dear all,
           can any one tell me how to maintain material master for packing materials based on customers to whom finished goods r supplied.
    Regrds
    harish

    Hi Harish,
    Option : 1
    Create your packing (VERP) material as per the Customer.
    E.g.
    Packing material   Product   Customer
    200000000            ABC         XYZ
    200000001            ABC         YZX
    200000002            ABC         XZY
    200000003            BCD         XYZ
    200000004            BCD         YZX
    200000005            BCD         XZY
    Option : 2
    If you are batch managed then and then only this option will work.
    Create Characteristic "Customer"
    - Assign it a Batch Class (023)
    - Assign this batch class to the material
    - Now as and when any transaction will be done on this material, you can apply the relevant customer to the batch and separate that particular by customer.

    Hi,
    In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
    What is the use of material type here?
    With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
    master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
    mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
    ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
    product,etc.,
    It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
    To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
    Step-1
    Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
    Enter Industry Sector: ...................
    Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
    Step-2
    Select
    Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)

    Enter Plant,
    Enter Storage location
    {{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
    Step-4
    You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
    Step-5
    Save.
