Material Master - Sub Classification

Hi Friends
My client has a problem in inventory matching. To avoid this, business wants some of their steel Materials to be sub classified according to the batch/Coil No.
Suppose we have a material with material no. X ( Specifications HA3PO 200 X 6). This material is supplied by a vendor under different Batch/ Foil NO.
These batch / Foil NO. are defined as per the length and width of the coil. Now the business wants to include the batch/Foil No. as sub category of the material.
They are at present marinating the info in an excel sheet and they are facing problem in matching inventory to the SAP system. To get rid of this they need a solution.
How do we map this and where should we do? I'm not a MM conslt, but need to help the business quickly.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
It is suggested to use concept of Split Valuation for this so that you will get proper tracking of Quantity as well as value of stock.
I will explain this with an example, For e.g. valuation criteria is SUBCLASS
Go to OMWC - Configure Split Valuation
Here Create Valuation Category as for e.g. "SUBCLASS" and Valuation Types as "FOIL NO 1" and "FOIL NO 2"
Here in Valuation types, you can assign the Account Category Reference
And in OMSK - You can define 2 Valuation classes and assign these to 2 Account Category References
Now in OBYC - Maintain Account Determination for Account Key BSX as per the valuation class
Refer following link for detailed configuration of Split Valuation
[Split Valuation Process|http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=29]
[Split Valuation Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/8f/d1de34e4cb2300e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm]
Process Flow: -
1. Create Material Master for Asset in MM01, maintain valuation category ORIGIN in "Accounting 1" view and extend the material master for all the above 2 valuation types and input the value.
Here in your case Valuation Types will be "FOIL NO 1" and "FOIL NO 2" and also assign the respective valuation classes.
When you want to Purchase materials then,
1. ME21N - Create for Material with valuation type "FOIL NO 1" or "FOIL NO 2" as per requirement, maintain it in "Delivery" Tab
2. MIGO - GR w.r.t. PO (GR of material will be done in valuation type as per maintained in PO "FOIL NO 1" and "FOIL NO 2"
3. MMBE - Stock Overview (Here you can see the stock as per valuation type "FOIL NO 1" and "FOIL NO 2"

Send material master with classifications (ALE)

Hi,
I want to send material master data with its classifications. I am using transaction 'BD10' to send materials. I understood that in order to send the classifications I have to check the ckeckbox 'Send material in full' - I did it, and there are no classifications in the IDoc.
please advise,
Thanks, Nir.

You can use change pointer mechanism. This is nothing but, when you change a material SAP Coded in such a way, if that specific field is marked for Change Document then an entry can be entered in TBDCP table.
(you can find this by going to SE11 put the table name MARA, display the table. Specific field like MATNR double click on the data element and go to Further Characteristics tab, there you can see whether it is marked for change document or not)
After this, you have to activate the change pointers for the system using BD50 transaction.
Then in transaction BD52 you have to maintain what fields are relavent for the change pointers in the IDoc. This is the deciding factor. If your IDoc field is mentioned in this table, then whenever a material is created or changed SAP will make an entry into TBDCP table.
Then you have to run BD21 transaction as a batch job for that specific message type to pick up the changes and create idocs. (That means BD21 program will select the data from TBDCP table and creates IDocs)
CHANGE POINTERS IS A BATCH PROCESS.

Copy of Material Master charac. values to the batch classif. in GR for PO

Dear gurus,
Could you please help me with the following issue. I have a material managed in batches, and it has a classification type 023 in material master. I fill one chaacteristic of this classification with some value. Now I want this value to be copied to the batch classification during the creation of new batch while making GR to production order.
Is it possible?

Hi Nikolaj,
What I am understand your requirement is like,
You want to fetch the value of Characteristic maintain in Batch class in Material master to the Batches, correct?
But my Friend if you maintain value of characteristic in Batch Class in material master then it will works as a validation.
For Example,
Suppose your Characteristic is Colour and in Material Master Batch classification view you have maintain value as Red.Then system will not allow you any other colour in Batches.You will find that value in Drop Down list.

Dhaval

Classification view creation via LSMW for Material master

Hi,
We are planning to have an LSMW for creation of material master along with classification view for configurable materials.
Though we see a flag to indicate classification view - XEIC1 Indicator: take Classification view into account
We do not see a structure where in we can pass all the characteristics and the corresponding values.
Is this something possible only with BAPIs such as -> BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE after creation of other view for that material.
Regards,
HR

Hi,
Thanks for the response. This is helpful.
However, we were intending to use a single LSMW for creation of all views of material master including classification view. Right now we are using Program RMDATIND as direct input method in LSMW.
Please let me know if there is a way to use single LSMW for creation of all views of material master.
Thanks
HR

Using TREX for Material master for longtext (basic data) and classification

Hi together,
I am only having some basic know how about TREX.
We want to use TREX for quick search in Material master long texts (like basic data and so on) and also for searching in characteristic values of material master (tab: classification).
The TREX is successfull installed and It was possible for me to create an index for Material BUS1006001 in SES_ADMIN and search the material in this transaction by TREX. I also find the index in TREX_ADMIN "green".
But there I could only use the attributes of the standard business objects (for example describtion of material master = short text).
Now I want to use the long texts and the classification. What do I have to do in SES_ADMIN or somewhere else? Actually I only want to use the functionality in SAP GUI. If I know how to make the indixes I could program an own F4-Help for this in ABAP.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Florian

Hi Florian,
SES_ADMIN is the admin cockpit of the Search Engine Service (SES).
SES-based solutions usually include searching the long text. Just test!
SES-based solutions usually do not include searching via classification.
The successor framework of SES is "Embedded Search".
Embedded Search is available with NW 7.01, corresponding to ERP 6.04. For details see SAP note 1254901
Classification is supported by Embedded Search with NW 7.02, corresponding to ERP 6.05.
ERP 6.05 is in unrestricted availability since summer 2011.
If the customer can not upgrade to ERP 6.05, there is a preliminary SES-based solution for searching via classification.
The solution can only be provided via SAP PLM consulting.
Kind regards, Klaus Irle

How to auto populate data values on Material Class in Classification?

Hi,
I created 10 characteristics and assigned them to a class (type 001 for Material). This class I added in Material Master under Classification.
These 10 characteristics contains 2 key values where these 2 values able to retrieve the rest of 8 characteristics, which stored in different customize tables.
Is there a way to make when user enter 2 key values of the characteristics in the class and the rest of 8 characteristics would be auto populate base on these 2 key values?
USER_EXIT or something?
Please help.

Hello,
You can either use jquery/jaavscript or infopath form to achieve this. There is no default way to do this.
I would suggest jquery because you can put script in newform/editfor.aspx page using content editor webpart. Refer this link for jquery:
To get value from list:

http://spservices.codeplex.com/discussions/468729
If you use infopath form, then you need to create two data connection to get data from both lists. Later you can set value in fields based on selection using rule. This can be possible without code.

How to create a new field in a sub screen in material master. ?

How to create a new field in a sub screen in material master. ?
Kindly help us.
LIke wise tell me how to create a new sub screen as per my desired

Follow the documentation of Logistics - General->Material Master->Configuring the Material Master->Create Program for Customized Subscreens to add the new field in material master.
Create Program for Customized Subscreens
In this IMG activity, you can create a function group of your own by copying function group MGD1 (for industry) or function group MGD2 (for retail). The subscreens are not copied, except for two subscreens which are copied for technical reasons. You can use this copy to create subscreens of your own which you can assign to a data screen in the activity Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence.
Requirements
Be sure to read the program documentation first.
Activities
1. Create a function group of your own by choosing Execute.
2. Enter a name containing up to 25 characters, beginning with the letter Y or Z, and choose Save.
3. Access the Object Navigator.
You do this from the SAP standard menu by choosing Tools -> ABAP Workbench, and then Object Navigator.
4. Display either program SAPLMGD1 (industry) or SAPLMGD2 (retail) as required.
5. Copy the subscreens as required, ensuring that they already contain as many as possible of the field names you want to use in your function group. You do this as follows:
a) Choose Screens, position the cursor on the corresponding subscreen, and choose Copy in the context menu.
b) Enter the program to which you want to copy the subscreen, prefixing it with SAPL, and enter a screen number. Use the screen number of the original subscreen where possible. If the F1 help is specific to a particular subscreen, this ensures that this context-specific help continues to be displayed.
Example
You have called your function group YENTERPRISE, to which you want to copy subscreen SAPLMGD1 2301. Enter SAPLYENTERPRISE as the program to which the subscreen is to be copied, and enter (preferably) 2301 as the screen number.
6. Return to the initial screen of the Object Navigator and display your program. In the example above, you would enter SAPLYENTERPRISE.
7. Choose Update object list.
8. Select the subscreen you have copied and activate it by choosing Activate in the context menu.
Using the Screen Painter, you can remove fields you do not require on the subscreen or include additional fields from other subscreens (see the ABAP Dictionary). For information on the Screen Painter, see the SAP library documentation BC ABAP Workbench Tools.
Points to consider when removing or adding fields
Make sure that a field statement exists for each field on the subscreen since data may not otherwise be transported correctly. You can use subscreen SAPLMGD1 2002 as an example.
For the fields you have added, include any check modules and modules for self-programmed F4 help that are called up for these fields on the original subscreen. You can do this by displaying the flow logic for the original subscreen and searching for such modules. They normally have the same names as the fields themselves. When you find a module, copy the corresponding module call to your subscreen.
If you change the order in which fields are transported that are checked together in the flow logic (such as the safety stock and minimum safety stock), you must deactivate the check module for the first field and activate it for the second. The system would otherwise transport the first field, and carry out the check before the second field is transported.
Any error messages that fields are unknown when activating the subscreen are due to the fields still being included in checks, even though you have removed the fields from the subscreen. Search for the fields in the source code and make the lines in which they appear comment lines. Then reactivate the screen.
9. Assign the subscreen to a data screen as required.
Note on transport
Use the Workbench Organizer to transport the copy you have created.
Proceed

Change documents of material master classification class type 001 and 300

Dear guru ,
I want to see the history of change documents of material master classification using MM02.
The system allow to see the history only for class type 023.
For class type 001 or 300 the change document isnu2019t available.
I must do some settings or the function for these class type arenu2019t available ?
Thanks.

Dear ,
changes in values for a characteristic can be monitored in CL20N but as for MM02/MM03 transaction only for class type 023.
For class type 001 or 300 the change document isnu2019t available.

Wrong Tax Classification Taken from Material Master

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with Tax classification when determining the tax % at sales order entry. Below is the scenario:
1) There are two taxes applicable: Output Tax (15%) and Excise Duty (1%)
2) Customer 01 is liable for both Output Tax and Excise Duty
3) Material A is liable for Output Tax, but not liable for Excise Duty. In material master, the tax classification is maintained as "0" for Output Tax (the first line) and "1" for Excise Duty (the 2nd line)
4) Material B is the opposite, i.e. liable for Output Tax but not liable for Excise Duty. In material master, the tax classification is maintained as "1" for Output Tax (the first line) and "0" for Excise Duty (the 2nd line)
5) The tax codes are defined (with tax % maintained) in FTXP
6) Pricing condition records are also maintained.
Now the issue is during order creation with Customer 01 and material A, both Output Tax and Excise Duty are getting calculated as Zero. Where as in case of material B, both taxes are getting calculated with value (15% and 1% respectively).
It seems that the system is getting the tax classification from the first tax (output tax) in material master and apply it to the other tax (excise duty). Therefore the Excise Duty gets the wrong value if the tax classification is different from that of the Output Tax.
Have anyone come across this issue before? Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

HI ,
thanks for your reply. In the meantime I figured out the issue myself. It was due to the access sequence that only checks tax classification 1 instead of 2 , 3 etc.
Thanks for your reply.

Classification Mandatory in Material Master

Dear All,
I have multiple characteristics in a class attached to one of the material. I want to make some of these characteristics mandatory in material master itself, how can this be done. I know we can make 'entry required' in the characteristic but it only makes the value mandatory at the time of classification of batch. I want it to be mandatory in material only.
Thanks
geravine

Hi ,
You know the answer
I know we can make 'entry required' in the characteristic but it only makes the value mandatory at the time of classification of batch
try out below steps,
create characterstic, and make it mandatory , attach it to class of calss type 300 , attach this class to material in classification view , as soon as you will open this view , system will ask you to assign value for this mandatory characterstic, and wont allow you come out of it till you assignh a alowed value.
Try out and reply.
