Material Master for Purchasing - any reason to create Sales Views?
We use the Material Master on the MM side for Purchasing and Inventory management only, no PP, no WM, no transportation management. Is there any reason to create the Sales Org and Sales:General/Plant views for stock items? We had a procedure earlier and were inputing the Availability Check, Trans Grp, Loading Grp on Sales:General/Plant views, but don't see any current or future use for that information. Do you see any reason to continue entering these 3 fields?
Thanks in advance.
You will need to enter the information in the sales views in case you want to perform any stock transfers between plants. Also you need to maintain the sales information in case of any customer sales. Otherwise, there is no need to maintain the sales views.
Thanks,
Giri

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 AMThere 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 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,

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
So ordering as kg

Material Master Data purchasing view
Hi, All,
I have question on material master data purchasing view. There are 2 indicators.
One is 'automatical purchase order', what effect if I tick this box? Another is 'Source List', what effect if I tick this box?
Thanks for your answer in advanceDefines that purchase orders are generated automatically when purchase requsisitions are converted into purchase orders.
Use
If this indicator is flagged, the system does not display the purchase orders on the screen before they are saved.
Dependencies
In the master record for the vendor with whom the material is ordered, the field "Automatic purchase order" must be flagged in the control data for the purchasing data.
If the source list is ticked, system expects a source list for the material with a vendor and it will not allow to create PO giving a error message,source not included despite of source list requirement if it is not created.

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
harishHi 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.

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 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
ThanksHI 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

i have a scenario where the client is already using a transaction to catch the related fields like material number, quantity and other related fields. but until now they have been using this as a central source of point to create a material. they have been using this to create materialsy for the service orientation.
Now they wanna use this same for the engineering concept lke creating the material for R and D and engineering BOM etc.

Please advice me on this
Thanking you in advance.

Material description VS Purchase order Text when creating a PO
Hi Gurus,
When creating a PO for a specific material, I have to print a purchase order text different from the material description.
To do this, a specific text has be added to the material master data in the tab "Purchase order Text" with the italian language maintained.
But, when i start to create a new PO for this material, the short text that is shown is retrieved form the Material description and not from the Purchase order text that has been added before.
How can I do to have the purchase order text shown in the PO instead of the common material description?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Valentino
Edited by: Valentino Rosso on Sep 9, 2009 10:58 AMHi Rajaram,
thansk a lot for your answer, it has been very helpful.
Could you please clarify me the below points?
1) Could you please confirm me that this is the functionality of the standard SAP System? That means that in case we want to put the purchase order text in to "short text" we would need to create an ad hoc development, right?
2) In case we print the PO with the purchase order text added for the material, is there any point where we can find this information for the material, or we will see just the material description from the Material Master Data?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Regards,
Roberto
