Material Master Security at Material Level

Hi!
Can anyone tell me if we can lock security on material masters down on certain material types? We have just started testing security at the screen level but would like to take it a step further to material type. We are on 45.B still...
Thanks for all your help!

I never worked on 45b, but with 46c and Ecc6 it is possible to restrict based on materail type by using authorization object M_MATE_MAR

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

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 .

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?
Regards
Yoga

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

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

Authorisation to create material master based on material type

Hello MM Gurus,
How to create user authorisation to create material master on the basis
of material type i.e. some are authorised to create material master with
material type ROH only and some are authorised to create material master with
material type HALB.

Hi,
Please proceed as follows.
- Insert the Authorisation Object M_MATE_MAR in your master role.
- Maintain multiple derived roles with specific values of material type against the inserted authorisation object.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Please award points if you find this info useful.

SAP - Material Master- If a Material Record is marked for deletion

If a Material Record is marked for deletion at client level, would this material be available for MRP runs and Physical inventory purpose.

Hi Hemant
If the material is just marked for deletion, it gives the flexibilty to revert back your decision and have them live. For this reason, the behavouir is controlled by system messages. The system will allow you to post inventory if the system message (M7 127)is configured as Warning under Materials Management --> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory --> Define Attributes of System Messages. The same way we can configure for Purchasing as well.
But from a MRP run prespective, it will terminate as mentioned by Mario.
If you want to get rid of a material from your system, then refer to the below thread
how to delete material

Where can I update quantity in material master ?

I was working on STO (Stock Tranport Orders) scenarios
Bascially stock tranport orders can be done in three ways
1. Stock Transport via stock transport procedure using 1 step procedure
2. Stock Tranport via stock tranport posting using 2 step procedure
3. Stock Tranport using a STO ( in Tcode me21n, where we select STO)
Now, when I entered MIGO and selected Transfer posting and movement type 301
(Transfer posting from plant to plant) and maintained the material details
It is throwing up a message "Shortfall of stock level"
I went to material master of the respective material for both the plants and updated the base quantity in the sales view ( base quantity field , under the shipping data ( times of day) block)
Yet, it did not fix my problem and I am not sure where else I can maintain <b>quantity in the material master for the material</b>Any inputs into the above will be helful
Thanks for your time

Hi,
If The material has no BOM then it mustbe a ROH material.
What u can do is :\
Goto Transaction MIGO do movement type 101 - goods receipt with purchase order.
If u dont have a purchase order than go with goods receipt with option as "others" and enter the material,Quantity,plant and storage location and post the goods movement.
After that if u check MMBE then the stock will be available.Then go for STO it should be fine.
So material master does not come into picture.
Check the same and come back if u have any doubt.

Material Master,Vedor Master and Info record

Hi
When we create all these record, some of the fields are populated from one an other, so if we change these common field in one record, will it be changed itself in other record?like purchasing value key in MM and Info record are common so if we change this one in info record,the change in MM will be done itself or not and if not why?

Hi,
Let me take one example of reminder days only.
Now material master's reminder days are specific and limited to that material only. for ex for material "007" reminder days are 3,6 and 9. that is in general.
but when that material is provided by X vendor than reminder should be 4,7 and 11..than what?
that should be maintained in info record. so info record is one level up for data maintenance. so if there is no info record, reminder days will be take from material master that is first level. but if you have maintained info record , means you want some specific data for that material when it is provided by any specific vendor..than reminder should be taken from info record.
when data is adopted , first system checks info record than material master/vendor master.
so when you create info record, some data are taken from master data ( material master/vendor master) but you can overwrite it base upon your need.
than that data is fixed for that material n vendor..it doesnt change if you change master data...
hope this solves your query..
reward if useful.and revert if any doubt
regards

Restrict the views in material master

Dear Experts,
In Material master(MM01), how to restrict the views like Basic data2, General plant data storage2, accounting2 views in which we are not entering any data. How to restrict these views while MM01 creation,only useful views shall come.
These views(Basic data2,General plant data storage2, accounting2) are not dispayed in Logistic general/Basic settings/Material types/define attributes of material types.
where to restrict these views which are not useful while material master creation.
Thanks for the reply.
Regards,
Dayanand

Hi Dayanand,
Generally Main screens can be restricted at Material Type level.As But your requirement is regarding subscreen selection.This subscreen selection can be restricted in SPRO >Logistics General>Material Master -->Configuring the Material Master --> maintain User Settings --> View selection(Industry and Retail)
Here you can delete the Subscreen Assignment to the main screen for the users.
For Ex your screen sequence assigned is 21,Subscreen 8 is basic data2.
Subscreen 19 is General Plant Data / Storage 2,Subscreen 22 is Accounting 2
So delete these assignments.Take note that make changes in copied data only not the master.

khasim.
