Material master table/field that can store a value that indicates the sales

Hello Gurus....
My Client is looking for a material master table/field that can store a value that indicates the sales volume (quantity) of a material. If the sales volume of a material falls within the top 80% of the total sales volume, then the material will have an indicator of "A", 15% will be "B", bottom 5% will be "C". Business wants to use this field to drive the automatic putaway into different pick zones.
We cannot use ABC Analysis field (MARC-MAABC) or CC phys.in.ind. (MARC-ABCIN) since they are used for ABC analysis and cycle count based on value, nor volume. Using these fields will limit our future use of the true SAP functionality.
field in Purchasing view in the material master called Mfg Part Profile. However, this is also against the original functionality of the field.
Other than, this any other field we can use it? or the only option is to do a custom field?

Kumar

Hi
I think the only option is to have a custom field.

Modeling: how to place Material Grp in Material Master TABLE instead of DIM

Hi,
I just completed a review of the "...Modeling with BI" document and I will appreciate some clarification on the following:
Some key points leading to question:
--"..In order to cover all requirements, master tables in a BI Data model are NOT linked directly to cube .."
e.g. While Material Number is in the Material Dimension; Material Type and Material Group are outside the Star Schema (page 14) i.e. in the Material Master, Material Text, Material Hierarchy TABLES.
--".. translation tables called SID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes" (page 16)
--So, the discussion goes on to point to the different LOCATIONS that a dependent attribute (which are not in 1:N relationships) of a characteristic such as Material Group may be located:
in the
i) Material Dimension table or
ii) Material Master table or
iii) Material Hierarchy table or
iv) combination of i/ii/iii
My question:
When building a cube, I know how to add Material Group to the same dimension as in case of i.
How do I add Material Group in the cube, in such as way that it is ii?
If I created a separated InfoObject, Material Group, it will not meet ii, since it will not be part of the Cube in question.
Can you help me with how to make the LOCATION for Material Group as ii and iii in this example?
i.e. to make Material Group as part of the model but not added to the Material Dimention table but to "Material Master table"
i.e. I am trying to get this line well:
--".. translation tables called SID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes"
Thanks

Hi Amanda.........
I am not getting ur question properly...........but I will try to explain u .......
translation tables called SID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes.......
Do u know.........what is Extended star schema.............it is a purely that concept..........
Look.......Infocube will never store Master data...........Master data will be stored in Infoobject...............
Now look...........if u make a Infoobject Master data enable.........then it will be connected to Four Master data table.......
Attribute Table
Text Table
SID table
Hierarchy table.........
Different Master tables are........
/BIC/M -- View of Master data Tables
/BIC/P -- Master data Table, Time Independent attributes
/BIC/Q -- Master data Table, Time Dependent attributes
/BIC/X -- SID Table, Time Independent
/BIC/Y -- SID Tabel, Time Dependent
/BIC/T -- Text Table
/BIC/H -- Heirarchy Table
/BIC/K -- Heirarchy SID Table
When u r creating the Infoobject........in the Masterdata/text tab...........if u check the box With Master data.........the characteristic may have attributes........... In this case the system generates a P table for this characteristic.............. This table contains the key of the characteristic and any attributes that might exist.........
Again if u check the With Text...........then it will hav text table..............
For Hierarchy in the Hierarchy tab page..u hav to select with hierarchy.................
Now while activating the Master data SID gets generated..........this is stored in SID table.........SID table contains the Key field of the Attribute table and SID............suppose material...........then SID table will contain Material number and SID value........
Now the DIM table of an infocube contains..........SID and DIM.............so DIM tables r connected to the Master data table with this SID.......Again in turn SID tables are conneected to the Master data table.........
So cube will access this Master data table with the help of SID..........ie.......ID tables are used in the BI data model to link the master tables of the BI data model to cubes
Check this.........

Material master tables

Hi,
how can I understand what views are opened for materials using material master tables ?

Mass maintainenance of material master for the field MARC-NCOST,SOBSK

Hi
While maintaining two fields NCOST and SOBSK for hude materials using MM17 transaction, the transaction executed properly while saving the transaction. There is no warning and error messages for all materials. But it was not updated in material master or in tables. for other field relavent to MRP updated correctly.
when I am maintaining manually for each material it is taking the value update the same.
Please explain the problem why it was not updating and let me know the solution.
Regards
Kishore

Hi,
Thanks for ur response.
I am getting green light. Please note the application message given below.
"The material cannot be maintained since no maintainable data transferred
Message no. MG160
Diagnosis
You wanted to maintain an existing material master record as follows:
By changing it
However, you have not yet maintained the material master record for the organizational levels and data fields specified, or user departments selected. You can therefore process this data only in Create mode.
By extending it
However, you have already fully created the material master record for the organizational levels and data fields specified, or user departments selected. You can therefore process this data only in Change mode.
In both cases, this message can appear if there is no maintainable user department left. This occurs if you have not set the Check required fields indicator when transferring data (program RMDATIND). Although the absence of an entry in required fields does not then necessarily result in an error, the number of maintainable user departments is reduced accordingly.
Procedure
Depending on the cause, maintain the material master record in Create or Change mode, or also transfer the missing required fields."
where can I find IDoc list for this transaction.

In material master not all fields show the description of their value

Gurus -
Certain fields in the material master show their description text along.
Example -
Base Unit of Measure - EA      each
The description Text 'Each' which represent 'EA' comes from text Table T006A-MSEHT
Not all fields in material master show the description of what they represent. (only appear on F4 popup)
I want this description to come up for MARA-MAGRV field.
I want the configured value description for this field to appear on the screen.
I have 3 values put in this MARA-MAGRV
Z001 - description text 1
Z002 - description text 2
Z003 - description text 3
in MM01/MM02/MM03 only Z001 is see, not it description.
Here is what i tried
Added TVEGRT-BEZEI (desc field) in Transaction OMSR and assigned selection group 103 which holds MARA-MAGRV field too
any config missing?? what say?
Advises appreciated!
Thanks

You have to find out the conversion routine for domain MAGRV and enter in the convers. routine field.
if did not find one than you have create custom (take ABAPer help)
go to SE11 adn enter the domain MAGRV and hit display
on the definition tab you will see the conversion routine
here you need to populate the appo. conversion routine to see the text on the materia screen.
Conversion takes place when converting the contents of a screen field
from display format to SAP-internal format and vice versa and when
outputting with the ABAP statement WRITE, depending on the data type of
the field.
If standard conversion is not suitable, it can be overridden by
specifying a conversion routine in the underlying domain.
A conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored
as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed
naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to
conversion routine xxxxx:
o CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
o CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module performs the conversion from display format to internal
format. The OUTPUT module performs the conversion from internal format to
display format.
If a screen field refers to a domain with a conversion routine, this
conversion routine is executed automatically each time an entry is made
in this screen field or when values are displayed with this screen field.

In Material master safety stock field is in display

Hi,
As a consultant i am able to change the Safety stock field in MRP view in the test system and Production also,but for the user this particular field is in display mode wheras other field in the MRP view user is able to change.
Kindly help me if,there is any settings for the same.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
Have you checked if there is any configuration made to lock same fields on material master? Follow the below path please;
Logistics u2013 General ==> Material Master ==> Field Selection ==> Define Lock-Relevant Fields
May be someone defined some fields as u201Clock-relevantu201D in customizing and during creation or changing of material master he/she set this indicator. You are able to change those fields because you may have SAP_ALL authorization whereas others may not.
Best regards

Logical Data base MSM vs Material master table MARA/MARC

Hi Experts,
What is the different between the logical data base (LDB) and the normal SAP table, for example MSM vs MARA/MARC/MBEW table. ? I mean we usually refer data to the normal SAP table in download or ABAP, what is the use of logical data base (exp MSM Material master) can download data or refer to MSM in ABAP?? Please help.
Best regards,
Eric

A logical database provides a particular view of database tables in the R/3 System. It is always worth using logical databases if the structure of the data that you want to read corresponds to a view available through a logical database.

Controlling material master access through field groups

Hello SAP Gurus,
We want to control the material master access (MM01/02) using field groups. I am unable to find any authorization object provided by SAP which can control access at field group level.
My scenarios is that certain group of people should be able to only display the fields in MM02 tcode and certain group of people should be able to change it. Please suggest if there is any config which will enable me to do this.
Thanks and Regards

Material Master Price Unit field MBEW-PEINH

Hello,
In my experience I've always dealt with the Price Unit being equal to 1000 (1.00 for 1 ; 1000.00 for 1000). It is my understanding that this was decided upon due to the decimal point limitation. In my new project, everything is set to 1. Is this an issue at all? If a few parts are less than .01, could just those be set to per 100 or 1000?

Hi,
the price unit can be set on plant level of material master.
nd it is highly suggested to set the price unit to a level where the valuation price is something like 494,99 / 1000 units instead of 4,95 / 10 units or 0,50 / 1 unit (I've already rounded the values as SAP would do).
best regards, Christian

Material master table for finding out valuation category and valuation type

Hi,
I have a material XYZ for which a valuation category 'H' is assigned. Now I need to create a valuation type for that.
Question - I want to find out for the same plant & st location which are the other materials with valuation category H, and what are the valuation types used.
I checked in mara, mard, mbew etc but of no use.
Which table can i get the data ?

hi,
As the valuation details are saved and are based on the material, you can see the details of valuation type in MBEW table...and field as BWTAR
For valuation catagory, you can see the table MARC...field as BWTTY...
If want the valuation type details for both plant and storage location, you shd check the GR table ie. MSEG where you will get the valuation type ....
hope its enough to retrieve the data..
