Material Master Hierarchy

There is a field on the material master labeled Product Hierarchy. Using RSA3 in ECC I cannot find what datasource contains that hierarchy. I've checked 0material_hier and 0product_hier. Any help will be rewarded and much apprciated.
Thanks
Richard

The hierarchy you see in the 0PRODUCT_ATTR maybe is not the hierarchy you want to load trough the 0PRODUCT_HIER....both are two different things.....the hierarchy value of the master data if you want to find where is THAT hierarchy defined you must check the tables of material master data in R3....
The point is that `maybe Hierarchy it couldn´t be a real hierarchy ....you must check with your functional MM to see all the material hierarchies and check if your hierarchy exists...

3 level of Material Hierarchy in Material Master in SAP R/3

Hi,
We have a requirement wherein we require 3 level hierarchy in all materials created. We have taken Material Type as the 1st Hierarchy. Now we are left with material group which can be the second hierarchy.
I looked into the possibility of material classification but it was not solving our purpose as there is no standard SAP reports for inventory which takes material classification as an input.
For your reference I will give an example.
1st hierarchy = Food ( Material Type )
2nd hierarchy = Dry Foods ( Material Groups )
3rd hierarchy = Bread
I am not being able to accommodate the third level in my material master. I know we can use product hierarchy but there are no inventory reports based on product hierarchy. We also don't have IS Retail.
Please suggest what can be done about the solution.
Thanks

Many different suggestions, however I cannot imagine how those suggestions can help to get an inventory report.
check the availabe inventory reports and see what selection criteria they have, e.g. MB52
I think you just have to develope an own report to get what you want.
And when you do this, then you can use classification for your hierarchy or product hierarchy, which is just one field instead of 3 different fields.
The classification is the only option that is considered in F4 search help without any modification.
And using multiple selection button for material number in the inventory reports may enable you to select all materials of a hierarchy based classification

Implement the Product Allocation Functionality
We are required to implement product allocation functionality in SAP R/3 (Enterprise Version).
We tried to do the elaborate steps as per the implementation guide but are not successful. Can you kindly help by giving the simple steps for implementation.
Please see if the following helps:
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

Product hierarchy in the material master record

Hi,
I am handig Data migration project.
This is related to Product Hirerarchy.
I one business Product Hirerarchy have been configured. But in another buisiness, Product Hirerarchy has not been configured.
There are some common materials using by both business processes.
For coomon mateials if I am maintaining Product Hirerarchy value in the material master record, is there any impact on business which is not being used Product Hirerarchy. Whether it will stop / impact on business processes.
Can you explain plz
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi karthink,
Thanks for your inputs.
we are meging two servers. In that in one server, product highrechy have been configuredand in another server not configured.
There are some materials with the numbers calling as a common parts exists in both servers.
ex: plat 0001 in one server 1 & plant 0002 in server2
Common part is : m1
plant 0001 not using product hierarchy and plant 0002 not using product hierarchy,.
After golive, all the common parts are being used by both plants and same basic data 1 view.
If we are maintaing product hierarchy in the basic data 1 view, it will flow into sales view as well.
Then what about impact on the plant 0001 business since it is not using product hierarchy.
In the configuration, is there any settings to activate / deactive product hierarchy at sales area level.
Is there any impact on MM / FICO side.
Please explain.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

KRK

Product Hierarchy Levels in the material Master.

Plz let me know the Levels to which product hierarchy can be maintained for a Finished good in its Material Master.
What I know it is 9 and is limited to 18 characters.
The T- code for it is v/76, and is maintained thru it, but while I am trying to maintain 4th level it is automatically taking 3rd Level. please point out the mistake which i must be doing.

Hi
As per standard SAP allowed up to 3 steps only
Here i am furnishing small example
1 step allowed 5 digits - 00001- Electronics
2 Step allowed 5 digits- 00001 - Home Appliances
3 step allowed 8 digits- 00000001- Steam iron
The above hierarchy can be assigned in material master as 000010000100000001

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.

ERROR IN Material Master Generation (AII 4.0)

Hi all,
We're working with Auto ID 4.0..
When we try to create products from R3 ECC 5.0 we find errors, the message is well sent from R3 to XI and then to AII but when the proxy is executed is thrown an ABAP exception.
These are our errors:
Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_UNIT
Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_SHTEXT
Data cannot be maintained for set type COMM_PR_GTIN
We've done the configuration on AII about hierarchy 'AIN_BASE' and category 'AIN_MATERIAL'...
Do we miss anything??? Please help us..
Thanks in advance

Hi
we are trying to send material master data from ERP to SAp AII system through XI. I have seen in the integration repository there are standars interface mapping and mesage mapping exists. But not clear on how to do configuration in XI nd which adapter we need to use in reciever communication channel and also the setting nede to be done in AII
can you please help me in this? Just give me the breif description of steps that need to be followed in ERP side SAP AII side and Xi side
thanks

How to create material group in material master.

hi guru's
can anybody explain me how to create a new material group in material master.
i wantto add a material group while creating material master MM01..
thanks
sap-mm

Hi,
In this step you create material groups.
You also have the option of using the same transaction to carry out the following activities:
Creating superior hierarchy levels
Assigning the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
Assigning the base material group to the material group hierarchy
Assigning characteristics profiles below material group level
Requirements
Your R/3 System is configured as an SAP Retail System.
Activities
1. Create superior hierarchy levels
   You create hierarchy levels using transaction WG01 (creating
   material groups) via menu options MG environment --> Hierarchy
   level --> Create
2. Assign the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
   You assign hierarchy levels to a hierarchy using transaction WG01
   (creating material groups) via menu options MG environment -->
   Hierarchy level --> Maint. MG hierarchy
3. Create material groups (base material groups) and then maintain the
   pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material)
4. Assign the base material group to the material group hierarchy
   You assign the material group to the hierarchy using transaction
   WG01 (creating material groups)
5. Assign characteristics profiles below material group level
   You assign characteristics profiles using transaction WG01
   (creating material groups)
Further notes
When creating material groups and then maintaining the pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material) you should be aware of the following.
As these materials can be created automatically using a minimum of data, you should follow this procedure with a check and possibly further maintenance, especially of plant-specific data. The material group reference material should be defined in as much detail as possible so as to keep the workload to a minimum when you have to create more materials for this material group.
All hierarchy allocations involving a material group (base material group) and a higher or lower hierarchy level can be carried out on the initial screen (there is no need to switch to the detail screen). All further hierarchy allocations can be defined top-down when you maintain material group hierarchies.
Only the material groups are transported automatically!
Reward if useful.

Control to create or change material master

I want to let a group person to create or change material maters only with material group 16. I found an auth. obj. M_MATE_WGR, and set activity as *, while activity goups as 16. But the nothing happened when I change a material with material group 17. It seems this auth. obj. is not checked while change material master. Does any idea for this case? How to let the system check this auth. obj.?
Thanks great.

HI,
Adding to what Sudipta has said, you can also use the workbook technique for accomplishing these type of changes. That way you can achieve all hover text changes in one shot across all MA tabs.
The 2 main tabs in the wokbook to be changed are: 'Localized Resource' and 'UI overrides' tab.
As an example, suppose you want to add the following text for Master Agreement External Category field:
"This field is a classification hierarchy to describe the products or services of the event and/or agreement."
So in the Localized resource tab, fill out the following:
BUNDLE: custom
RESOURCE_ID: xxx
RESOURCE_KIND: APP_TEXT
DEFAULT_VALUE: This field is a classification hierarchy to describe the products or services of the event and/or agreement.
Then refer the same attributes in the UI Overrides tab:
UI_ID: contracts.agreement.ui.buyside.default
FIELD: EXT_CAT
ATTRIBUTE: Description
VALUE: Same as Resource ID used in localized resource (xxx above)
Hope this helps,
Vikram Shukla

Base table name for fields from Material Master

Hi All,
I want base table name which holds all possible values of following column:
1)Material Master : X-plant matl status from tab -basic data 1
2)Material Master: X-distr.chain status from tab -sales org 1
for example: Base table for Prod.hierarchy is T179/T179T.
Many thanks to all
Yogesh

Thanks Mahesh but I know its value available in MARA table for eery material. But i want to know where all possible distinct values are stored?... In other word, when we click on button which is next to this field and from that list we normally select value and then assign to above fields. Where this list is stored for
X-plant matl status
X-distr.chain status
