Material master template

hi ,
does anyone have a template for material master, which can be used for LSMW data mapping?
Please forward it to [email protected]
Thanks

The std template can not be work for all bussiness.  you have to create based on your requirements.
to creating template is not big deal. you just select the fields which you want to populate while createing material master and certain fields which are required entries.
Or just go to the structure of LSMW - Material master and select allthe fields.
Go to SE11
and enter the structure one by one and copy the fields to your template
BMM00, BMMH1,  BMMH2
    BMMH3
    BMMH4
    BMMH5
    BMMH6
    BMMH7
    BMMH8

  • Material master uploading_MAP_ is it compulsory ?

    Dear All,
    While uploading the material master template thro' LSMW, is it compulsory to enter the MAP ?
    Because in my client, they have purchased few of the materials one year back and after that they havent purchased & dont know abt the price.
    Here MAP field is not mandatory, bt still
    pls clear my doubt
    regds,
    Channa

    Hi,
    It is good practise to maintain MAP at the time of material creation.
    But if you are not having MAP at the time of material creation, no problem will occur unless and until your first transaction for that material will be GR.
    When GR will be made for that item, MAP gets maintained automatically.
    But if material having no map is sold; there may be chances to hit COGS with null value.
    Also you can maintain map with MR21 if acceptable to your client.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Text template for PO text in material master

    Has anyone created a template that could be imported into the PO text in the material master? I am looking for a template that will prompt users to enter required information for a description.

  • Workflow for Material Master and Vendor Master Creation

    Hi
    Has anyone mapped creation of Material Master & Vendor Master through SAP Workflow.
    Seek your valuable inputs.
    Best Regards
    --Vikas

    You may not get the complete standard form which will match this functionality. But you can develop your business logic in custom code for fetching the data and the interface and use the standard templates for layouts if any template matches your requirement. You can see the complete lest of templates in : "transaction SFP->Form->Layout->Tools->Template Manager
    Most of the common templates are available here.

  • Material number suffixing with ! for some material in material master

    Hi Friends,
      We have uploaded  material master data with BDC . but for some of materials contain ! sign at the end of the material number. Means , at the 18th charecter ! is appearing. but it does not appear in mm03 while displaying. and even while finding it from MARA if we put material number   without ! sign then we can possible to get that material. and it does not allow us to crate material with same material number withought ! sign.
    But if while creating material if we put material with ! at the 18th charecter it creates material with ! sign but while searchig from MARA if you dont put ! sign with material number we can not  get that material as output and if we create other material without ! sign it allows to create the material.
    Please can you tell me what is the reson why ! is getting added at the end of material number ... do any1 of you have faced the same kind of situation and found for what reason it is coming....
    Thanks & Regards.
    Praja.

    Hi,
    This is due to config. In our case whenever we enter 8 digit number for Eg:
    12345678 material will be created as 1234.5678 a dot will appear after every 4 digits.
    But when we actually look at mara we wont find the dot (.) .
    We can do this by config by setting perfix and sufix to the material number. actually these characters will not be stored in DB.
    It will be shown in output when the function module CONV_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT runs.
    check config in OMSL transaction.
    In TMCNV table check field TEMPLATE it will have the template how the material number should be in our case its ____.____
    Your case might be ________________!

  • What is Material master workflow

    Hi gurus ,
    Can anybody explain what is Material master workflow & Function Module ?what is its use?
    Dev
    Edited by: dev .. on Oct 15, 2008 8:21 AM

    Dear,
    You can find much info about workflows at: http://www.erpgenie.com/workflow/index.htm
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    Workflow is a tool for automating the business process so that the process itself flows smoothly, without bottlenecks and without dead ends. Critical parts of the process can be streamlined with deadline monitoring and contingency options. Participants are informed of milestones in the process. The process definition itself is powerful enough to allow business re-engineering with re-training and to eliminate the impact of workforce changes on the basic business process.
    SAP Business Workflow is the R/3 tool for handling the process automation within R/3 or between R/3 systems and other systems involved in the business process. It is flexible enough to handle ad hoc processes such as the circulation of an electronic document. It is robust enough to handle mission critical process in the production system such as the creation of a material master.
    The different R/3 applications supply standard workflows for the commonly occurring processes. Once these workflow templates are activated, they are ready for immediate use. A complete set of workflow tools, including the workflow editor and workflow generation wizard, are provided to enhance these standard workflows or create new workflows. These tools are complemented with transactions for monitoring, tracking and the statistical analysis of the processes.
    Because the business process often does not step at the R/3 boundary, various interfaces and third party tools are available for extending the process across systems.
    Function module
    Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
    Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating  and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.
    Unlike subroutines, you do not define function modules in the source code of your program. Instead, you use the Function Builder. The actual ABAP interface definition remains hidden from the programmer. You can define the input parameters of a function module as optional. You can also assign default values to them. Function modules also support exception handling. This allows you to catch certain errors while the function module is running. You can test function modules without having to include them in a program using the Function Builder.
    The Function Builder  also has a release process for function modules. This ensures that incompatible changes cannot be made to any function modules that have already been released. This applies particularly to the interface. Programs that use a released function module will not cease to work if the function module is changed.

  • Load Material Data in the Material Master

    Hi All,
      We have the Material Ledger Active at the Material Level. We are using ECC 6.0 with the highest enhancement pack.
       The requirement is to load the Moving average prices for the Company code currency and Group Currency as a part of
       Material Master Data Migration.
       I am using a the business object BUS1001006's SAVEDATA method (Basic type MATMAS_BAPI03) in a LSMW to achieve
       this.
       This IDOC does not provide me the structure or fields to load the Material Ledger Data. I tried passing the price to the
      MBEW-VERPR however the price is not updated.
       One workaround is to use MR21 however that would be a seperate program which we want to avoid.
       Has anyone done this before. Will greatly appreciate any help/suggestions.
       Thank you for your time.
    Regards,
    Vamsee

    Yes, I am loading from the text file.
    My Zmaterial is defined as InfoObject with text data language dependent.
    Now I want to load this master data through flat file.
    I created FlatFile under source System and then created a DataSource. Under Extraction tab I selected the physical location of my flat file with csv separator and all. Then under proposal I saw preview of my data. Later under Fields tab, For Language I selected 0HTLANG
    For Materialid I selected Zmaterial (defined by me)
    But now there is one more field remaining MAterial Description, across that field what Template InfoObject should I put? Thats my confusion.
    After this I can click on Preview and then load that data in PSA thru infopackage. then later into InfoObject.
    Please inform.
    thnx

  • Extend material master data from one plant to another plant

    hi,
    how can i extend material master data from one plant to another plant.
    is there any sap standard transaction for this ie. bdc/t-code.
    thanks in advance.......
    rahul

    Hi
    If you want to extend the material form one plant to another then below are the possible options.
    1) MM01 - Use the material in the reference and fill in copy from and to then press enter to complete the extention.This is recommended only if you want to extend very less records.
    2) Use LSMW and record MM01 thru BDC recording available in LSMW and make the template in excel and convert it to .txt tab delimited format to upload more records.LSMW is the perfect tool and is used extensively in all the projects.
    3) Get the help from ABAPer to create upload program and include the BDC recording.
    There is no standard T code available in SAP becoz data mainatenance in the material master will be based on the industry.
    Hope it will help.
    Thanks/Karthik

  • Material master data maintenance strategy

    Hi,
    We are working on a global template to suggest Material master data maintenance strategy.
    Please suggest what could be various options for same.
    Regards,
    Avnish

    Hello,
    In the same situation now:
    1.  Suggestion is to load the Basic Data centrally, say from HQ
    2.  Other data can be loaded via the subsidiary in the different countries.
    3.  If required you can use a block or a material statu and have the HQ control the access to the other parts of the material master.
    For your information, we have come across a big issue regarding this and only now we have begun the above method as my client's HQ controls the release of materials into the market.

  • Material master: BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

    Hi Friends,
    We are using the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA for our mass material master upload. The programm is in use since 2005 (with several updates) and it works fine. Recently, I get feedback from my material master manager that some datas are not being populated.
    Example:
    MRP 2
        - min Safty stock                     MARC-EISLO
        - Special procurement              MARC-SOBSL
    MRP 3
       -  Fwd consuption per               MARC-VINT2
    Purchasing
       -  Source list                           MARC-KORDB
    Plant data /Stor. 1                    
      - CC Phys. inv. ind                    MARC-ABCIN
    The templates for upload are properly maintained. I have checked this during debbuging. Now I realy dont know where to check anymore.
    Can someone help with tips?
    Blacky.

    I would have checked .. if FM interface is properly populated, the tables for respective tabs ...
    As each table in the interface is grouped to particular tab when compared to MM01/02/03 ...

  • Material Master duplication issue

    hi,
    We are EPC company where we procure different kind of Pipes , flanges other erection materials for e.g.
    We have a large number of variations under these categories which is forcing us to create a new material master where tere is slight deviation .
    e.g. we have a 30" MS PIPE . But it can have dis 32",34".36",thickness 2", 4",6" , iner lining may be of teflon, glass...
    so there are large numbe rof combnation whic can happen. this end up in creating large numbe rof materials.
    Is there any way to minimise numbe rof materials in this?
    Also, we are facing issue of duplication of materials.
    For e.g. different Sites may ask for same material . so same material may be created with different description for different sites. Is there any way to standardise material description template?
    Thanks

    Hi Manoj,
    The best way to deal with this scenario is to use "Configurable Materials".
    You need to create (variant configuration with class type 100, 200, 300) where you can define the variations in the material having same application and features such as yours.
    Go thru this thread..

  • 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.

  • Automatic creation of Material Master at the time raising the PO !!!

    Hello All,
    I am stuck in a scenario of our client which should be implemented (or mapped) in SAP.
    Scenario: At the time of creating the PO (in there legacy system -in house developed) they can choose the items from the existing master data or/and they can also add a new item (which is not present in the master data records at the time of creating the PO).
    Now as soon as the system realise that a new item is inserted into the PO, it will create that item record automatically in the backend (database) and the master data will be present from there on.
    The items they are dealing with are all fashion accessories and they generate order on the following basis:
    1. Demand of particular item in market.
    2. List of items provided by the vendor.
    3. Based on the requirement in there outlets.
    So for them its very difficult to fix there master data records, as it can be changed daily or monthly as per the market conditions. At the same time every time they order, its almost around 100 different items (some time 80 of them are new) in a single PO so they cannot create 80 records manually each time.
    These items are not consumable material so obviously they are maintaining the stock for them. They are also not going to use IS Retail.
    I am not at all sure how can we map this particular practice in SAP, it would be really appreciated if any one could help me on this problem.
    Please let me know if you need any other details from my side.

    Hi,
      As you have two different systems one in house developed and another SAP, and the PO creation part starts from Legasy system which creats the PO in SAP, you can do some development as per below
    1:  While Passing the details from legasy to SAP, use two columns in legasy one will contain the Material Code of ECC (for laready exist material ) and another for deescription of material.
    2: In case material is new for which there is no material master in ECC pass only description from legasy systems.
    3:While getting triggred from Legasy to ECC to create the PO, first check whehter all the material code exists or not in ECC.
    4:If some material are not created (only description present) for those material first create the Material Code using BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'.
    5: Aftre creation of Material code create the PO using BAPI ' BAPI_PO_CREATE1'.
    6:For the new created material , trnasfre the master record from ECC to Legasy systemso that next time user can see that material in your legasy system.

    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?
