Material master Maintenance-Mass change

Hello All,
We have around 2200 records (material masters) for which the following changes are required.
1) Where Valuation Class is "AAAA" or "BBBB" or "CCCC"or"DDDD" replace
all Purchasing Value Key with "2"
2) Where Valuation Class is "NLAG" and Purchasing Value Key is "4" or
"3" or "2" then replace Purchasing Value Key with "1"
Kindly suggest which is the best option out of mass maintenance(MM17), LSMW and BDC ???
Thanks

For BDC You have to depend on ABAPer and it will take more time to develop.
As you can easily view the maintained material master and you have already the required changes, you can easily handle this using MM17 also.
You can prepare LSMW also if you have some time in your hand

Revision level issue in Material Master maintenance

Hi All,
When I try to change the revision level for a certain change number in our production client in the material master I get the following error
Priority of revision level E is too small
I have checked in CC13. But I could not find anything relevant.
There are a number of revision levels available in the dropdown list.If I select some of the last revision levels available in this dropdown list in the material master the system accepts it readily but if I select any of the earlier revision levels in the list the system throws the above error message.
Please can someone tell me what is wrong here.

Material Master Characteristic Configuration

Hi Experts,
I'd like to know how to configure the Material Master Maintenance MM01/MM02/MM03 tcodes to show the Characteristic Tab and all other tabs that can be activated. And also what are the configuration to consider when using the Characteristic Option for Maintenance.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I am done with the configuration of OMS2, now I can see the Characteristic Tab in the Material Master (MM01/MM02/MM03). However, the user wants to display the Charateristic Tab with all the tabs. As when I choose the Characteristic Tab display, the other tabs for material master are now gone. How can I configure that the Characteristic Tab is a normal tab, under Material Master Maintenance/Display?
Thanks for your help!

Storeage location from material master in PO

I have maintained a store location of each material in Material master in view of "General Plant Data / Storage 1". Now my requirement is that whenever I create a PR or PO without PR with material, system will not take by default my store location since I have already maintained in the material master. Even the requirement is same while creating a reservation.. Can any one ans to this please.. Since it is general issue.. It should come from material master as this SAP is such good ERP package why it is not coming by default. It is a really challenging question?

SAP designed its programs the way it is, they have a field storage location EP to default a storage location to a PO. it just does not make sense for SAP (for perfromance reasons in big companies) to check first if there is only a single storage location maintained together with the auto storage location disabled.
storage location EP field is just located in MRP views.
But with customizing you can move this field to any other view, e.g. purchasing view.
It is probably in the MRP views, as you usually have MRP views only for materials that are stock managed, and only for quantity managed materials you need a storage location, while purchasisg view need to be there even for materials that are not stock managed. So a proposal for storage location EP makes more sense in the MRP views, especailly while the planner defines where the materials are needed, rather the the buyer. And with distributed material master maintenance it makes then again more sense to have it in MRP views.
But if you company does it different, then customize your material master views to your need.

Change UOM in Material Master Problem

Hi all expert,
Im trying to change a raw material UOM from KG to Liter in material master, i have deleted all the document related to the raw material, but when i change the UOM, it display message as below:
Material Master Maintenance
The base unit of measure cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Independent requirements are already assigned to the material.
Plant MRP area
   JK01
I can't find the independent requirements so can't delete it.
Hope someone can give me advise.
Very thanks for help.

You can also see the planned ind. req. for your material from Txn. MD63
If you delete the ind. reqs. no longer appear when you access via trans.
MD62/MD63. However, the records are still in table PBIM with a
deletion flag set on field LOEVR, so, you have to do the planned
independent requirements reorganization as described in note 135807.
I hope this can help you !!!

Make a fieldat the material master visible

At "Sales: General/Plant Data" of material master datas, there exist "Availability check" field. It is hidden now at our system. How can I make it visible?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
MM - Controlling the Fields in Material Master
Define whether a field is hidden or displayed, or whether an entry is mandatory or optional in material master maintenance by assigning the field to a field selection group in OMSR.
Each field selection group has a number between 1 and 240.
The values of the field selection groups have been preassigned as follows:
001-110 Material master for industry
111-120 Reserved for customers (except where the values are already in use)
121-150 Material master for industry
151-210 Material master for retail
211-240 Reserved for customers
Create and maintain field references (OMS9).
All the fields in the same fields group will have the same field selection option.
(hide, display, required entry, or optional entry)
You can see where a field reference is used by choosing Where-used list.
Define or change the field references as required (except for field references with the prefix SAP which must not be changed). New field references must begin with Y or Z.
Changing the Field Selection Options for a Field Selection Group
1. Specify the field selection group .
2. Select the field selection option (hide, display, required entry, or optional entry)
for each field reference as required.
3. Save.
Creating a Field Reference
1. Choose New entries.
2. Specify a field reference beginning with Y or Z.
3. Select the field selection option for each field selection group as required.
4. Save.
Changing a Field Reference
1. Double-click the relevant field reference.
2. Change the field selection option for each field selection group as required.
3. Save.

Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

Hi,
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
Regards

Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
Cheers,
Julius

Material Master - Error M3 826 Maintenance status of field ... to screen

Hi Experts of the Material Master,
I am getting the error M3 826 "Maintenance status of field MARA-BEHVO does not correspond to status of screen K" when all screens are selected in the Create Material Master transaction.
Here is my situation: I have added the fields MARA-BEHVO and MARA-TEMPB both of status L (Storage) to a screen called "Phys. Characteristics", which has status K (Basic data).
This produces the error message above in standard SAP. I didn't want to change the customizing of the screen to allow L, because this screen is also used by other material types.
I had to copy the screen MGD1 2701 (Phys. Characteristics) to my custom program for Material Master screens anyhow, as the number of fields and their descriptions had to be adjusted.
The program was created using the activity "Create Program for User Subscreens" in SPRO.
in the coding of ZMGD1 screen 2701 I have added this code behind the standard module FELDAUSWAHL to manipulate the standard logic that would blend out L fields on a K screen.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
*   Material Type
    IF mara-mtart = 'ZPNT'.
*     Screen-Names of the 3 fields
      IF screen-name = 'MARA-TEMPB' OR
         screen-name = 'MARA-BEHVO'.
        screen-active      = 1.
        screen-invisible   = 0.
        screen-output      = 1.
*       Change or Create transaction
        IF sy-tcode = 'JP27' OR sy-tcode = 'JP28'.
          screen-input       = 1.
          screen-required    = 1.
        ENDIF. "transaction code JP27 or JP28
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF. "screen-name
    ENDIF. "Material Type ZPNT
ENDLOOP.
It all works fine when only a number of screens (but including the modified) screens are selected for creation.
But it fails with the message above on the modified screen when all screens are selected.
Any ideas?
Ralf

from the message, it appears that ZZKUNNR is a custom field attached to your MARA table. So, it is your System specific. I don't see ZZKUNNR available in MARA. If you look at the transaction code OMT3B (configuration for material master data screens), you can find K - Basic Data Screen in Maintenance Status field.
You may look in this area to fix your issue. Because yours is a custom field, its tough to analyse further.
Reward points, if it helps!

Error during Mass Maintenance of Material Master

Dear All SAP guru,
During mass maintenance of order unit ( PCS) and variable order unit "1" (Active) from T-code MM17, system is giving one error message.
Error Mess: 30000052280140 : Messages have been issued: number MASS000120000000 and notification No.:
MK101.
While system allowing automatically to log through MM90, but after puting the log no.: MASS000120000000, system is not execting.
Pl suggest ....as conversation factor is also maintained in material master for this.
Regards,
Pinku.

HI ,
check note 487111.
According to this note
Symptom
In the planning data mass maintenance (MPGD_MASS), you select the "Conversion" field (UMREF) and enter the new value e.g. '2,01' and save the change. In the log of the mass maintenance, the system issues error
MK101:
....... : Messages have been issued: number MASS............
Detailed display of error message:
Message number BF 020
Value cannot be interpreted as a floating-point number. Other terms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is caused by a program error.
The symptom occurs if during the maintenance of your own user profiles, you defined "Comma" for the decimal notation (Transaction SU3).
Due to a program error, the system saves the value of the field to be changed program-internally in the exponential display with "Point" as the decimal place (2.01E+00).
Solution :
You have implement the solution mentioned in the note .

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
