Material master tables

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

Go to the MARA table - Execute with the material you want to see.
Check the maintenance status field (PSTAT) and that will show the views created for that material.

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 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?
Regards,
Kumar

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

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.

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..

SAP material master upload , but table by table

Dear All,
we have a case in which we want to create a new client and move all the settings and master data from our current client to the new one (we dont want to move the transactional data).
our basis consultant has moved the settings and customizations to the new client.
my question: can we move the master data (material master as the first stage) from the current client to the new one by uploading to the tables? i mean using LSMW will require going through the material creation steps which require data from more than one table.
but i would like to upload to the tables one by one, like taking the data in MARA in the old client, and uploading it to MARA in the new client.
then do the same for MARC, MARD, ...
please tell me what do you think ......it is really urgent

table copies are usually done in SLO projects.
SAP has a sepcial team for SLO (system landascape optimization),
I personally would use ALE scenario to move master data from one client to another or one system to another.
if you know all the material master tables, then you can give it a try.
Before beeing too optimistic, have a look into transaction DB15, enter MM_MATNR in tables for object in the lower part of the screen. then click Show objects. finally switch the radio button to All tables
Now you see a list with all tables from which SAP reads and deletes data when you archvie a material. In general, these are all the tables that might have values for a material master.
Had you thought that it would be all these tables?

View using Material master,Vendor master and PO tables

Hello folks.
There is a requirement to create view using material master tables ( MARA,MARC,MARD,MAKT & MBEW ) , vendor master tables ( LFA1 & LFB1) and
Purchase order tables ( EKKO & EKPO tables).
I have created the attribute views for material and vendor master tables separately.Now I am thinking about the following design pattern.
1. Join the material master master attribute view to EKPO table using the inner join to create a analytic view1.
2. Join the material vendor master attribute view to EKKO table using the inner join to create a analytic view2.
3. Now create calculate view using join to combine analyticalview1 & analyticalview2.
Please suggest me the best optimize pattern and am strange to SAP HANA. Please also clarify the following doubts.
1. What is the role of system supplied default aggregation node?
2. How can I use Union node in the calculation view in the current requirement because people/documentation always suggesting using of Union than Join?
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh Kuturu

I have managed to create the Analytic view as per my requirement.. No need to use calculation view in this case..

Extending a material view in Material Master

Hi
I have created a Material without a sales view.Now I wnt to add sales view in the existing Material Master. How to do this.
Regards
venkat

Hi Garapati,
Pleas read the answers of experts.
You have to use MM01 (create) transaction if you want to extend your material master record since you create new records in material master tables.
So you have to use MM01 if you create a brand new mmr and you have to use the same if you want to extend your mmr.

BTE for Material Master

Is there a BTE for MM01 or MM02? I would like to capture the changes to data on these transactions when user has pressed the save button and also after the dB COMMIT is executed.
So far in my search, I have found that there is no BTE for Material master data transactions. I want to confirm this with other users. Also, is there a BAdI that I could use?
TIA.

Hi Shri ,
BTE mainly for FI transactions .

Blocking Material Master for Workflow

Dear colleagues,
We are customizing creating and changing of material master workflow, i.e., screens will be generated by various people and supervisors of the initiators will be approved. For this purpose, I use Business Object BUS1001006 to serve it. But my problem is when a material master is created or changed in one of the views; I want to block that material in use of PO or whatsoever until confirmation is done by respected supervisor. Is there any field available, like in vendor master (LFA1 u2013 CONFS and LFB1 u2013 CONFS), in material master tables like MARA, MARD or etc?
Best regards,

Dear,
You can very well acheive the functionality which you are expecting.
You can block the material in MM06...here set the deletion flag....
Now set the message as Error for Message number ME 051 in the below mentioned path:
Spro-MM-Purchasing-Environment Data-Define Attributes of System Messages-System messages
Now users can not create any PO with this material untill and unless you go and remove the deletion flag in MM06.

Hi,
You have to go for ABAP Development if you need a totally new field for Grade of the Material.
1. Create Z-Field
2. Add it in Material Master Tables by appending
3. OMT3B - For Screen Sequence "21", under "Subscreens" of "Basic Data 1" Screen, add the field.
Else you can use many other available fields for Grade Purpose for e.g. Dimensions field in Basic Data 1 and Basic Material in Basic Data 2 view.
