Material Master Usage

Hello Gurus,
I have Created Many Material Master Number in SAP.
Now I want to Find Out that which Materials are Used in SAP At least In Single transaction and Which Materials are still Unused in SAP.
I am Waiting Your reply.

Riten Patel.

Dear ritenpatel
MCRE - Material usage analysis - By plant / By material / By component used By order
This report can be used for analysing the actual material usage against plant in manufacturing process.
MC40 & MC41 - Material usage based ABC Analysis
This report will help you in identifying the fast moving, slow moving / non moving items. The report can be executed at the material level / plant level

Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master - usage

Hi
Can anyone tell me what's usage of "Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master" (spro-mm-purchasing-mat master-entry aids..)
and what it controls???

Hi,
In this step, you can assign a purchasing value key and a valuation class to a material group.
The assignment of a purchasing value key provides you with default values for reminder levels etc. in purchase order items without a material master record and without an info record.
The assignment of a valuation class to a material group enables the system to determine different accounts for the individual material groups.
This is usally useful for creation of PO and account posting for materials without an MMR.
When you create a PO you mention only the material group, based on which the purchase info like the Deadline monitorying, over/under delivery tolerances, Vendor evaluation etc gets incorporated into the PO. The account posting will get captured against the Valuation class maintained to the Material Group for which the GL account mapping will be done against the V.Class in the OBYC.

Usage of 'Average Inspection Duration' in the Material Master QM view?

Hi,
facing user requirements that you should be able to consider the QM stock in the ATP calculations in a special way, I want to have some feedback re the usage of this Material Master field. The user actually would like to have the parts available in the Sales Order scheduling line after a specific number of days, when having run the ATP job. The ATP Config is set to include QM stock in the run (and they do not want to change that), so presently the system promise deliveries in the SO, but it can not be done! Nice solution should have been the for instance set a delivery after the planned number of days for inspection as set in the MM QM view! The only usage I have seen so far of this field is that the planend insp date range is visibale alike in tr code QA32, but that is more admin info, not causing hands-on effects.
So two questions:
What hands-on effect does this MM QM field entry have in R/3?
Any suggestion how to solve this user wish re ATP logic??
Best regards / Roland

Set all the parameters for certificate creation
QM in procurement define keys for certificate processing
Certificate type will define the following controls
Certificate for each PO/GR item
Check on certificate check required
Set control w/o certificate FIELD as E
Enhanced cert processing tick on.
DO the GR with certicate received no
See the status of insp lot CTCM- certificate conf missing
But you cannot do GR as it is disaloowed
Proceed as below
Goto QC51 and give PO and item no and click ok
Select the appropriate line and click copy
Here you change the certificate status that 5 i.e. certificate field and inspected, mention the certificate date and save
Now see the status of insp lot CROK- certificate receipt confirmed.
Now do UD, it will go through.

Prod. stor. location usage Material master

Dear PP expert
Who can help to explain what meaning for this feild Prod. stor. location in MM01 transcation? what is its usage?>
Thanks

Hi Benny,
The Prod. sloc maintained in mtl master serves dual purpose, first when a production order is created for that material, it acts as the receiving location i.e. when you post a GR for the prodn order via MB31 the stock gets posted into this sloc. The other purpose is when this material is a component in a production order, then stock gets issued from this sloc.
This field can be maintained at material master level or at BOM level. The one maintained at BOM level has a higher precedence over the one in material master. If you might ask why 2 places to maintain the same data, there might be instances where the component is stored at different slocs depending on the BOM, then it makes sense to maintain at BOM level, but if the component is always maintained at a single sloc, then maintain in mtl master level.
Hope the above answers your query.
Regards,
Vivek

Where can I find BOM usage in a Material Master

Hai,
Probably a simple question but I am not able to find the BOM usage in a Material Master. I am looking at a finished product in Pharmaceuticals Industry sector.
Which tab has this filed "BOM usage"? I expected this to be in MRP views and tried without luck.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you.

Hi Visu,
Have you looked transaction CS15 or FM CS_WHERE_USED_MAT?
Other to find out if and where a material is used in a BOM (as a header and as a BOM position) is to display the product structure. Open the material in MM03, then in Menu Environment->Product Structure. You will see all dependencies.
Hope this will help.

Usage of MDM's material master relevant XI Content and Business Content

Dear all,
In MDM's material-relevant XI content, there's a message interface "MDMMatmasIn". But in the demo system this interface is not used to write material master data to file. The IDoc type MATMAS.MATMAS05 is used instead. No mapping is used. May I ask why?
I tried the 00_MATMAS05_R3.map file and can import file in the format of MATMAS.MATMAS05. But some value mappings are not done and have to be added manually. Do I miss precedent steps?
In MDM Business content, there're lots of import map files like 00_MATMAS05_R3.map and 03b_Units_SAP_R3.map. During the data consolidation procedure, should we just use one map to import the IDoc-XML file? Shouldn't we first use other map file to fill the lookup tables? If not, what are those map files used for? Is there any document about the usage of those map files?
Very sorry for asking so many questions. I'm very new in this area and desperately need help...
Best Regards
Jerome

Hi Christiane,
Thanks for the document. But I didn't find how to import the customization data into the lookup tables. For example, in the MDM standard business content, the "Material" repository contains a lookup table "Material Type". It doesn't contain the values like "ROH" and "HAWA". How can we fill such tables?
And the standard map "00_MATMAS05_R3" doesn't automatically add such values into lookup table by value mapping. When I tried to import a material master, I had to manually modify this map. Is there any solution to this problem?
Best Regards
Jerome

Usage of deleted material master code

Hello,
I have one query related to material masters (MM01, MM02).
A material is marked for deletion using T-code MM06 some time back.
Now due to some reason this material is required to manufacture a batch.
So can u please tell me -
How to unblock this material?
Is there any impact occurs in any module link with material master (i.e. QM, PPMC, FI or CO or else)
How can i cross verify its impacts?
I am highly obliged if you clear my doubts. So that i can proceed for batch manufacturing without any hassle.
Regards,
Snehal Roy

Hi there
In MM06 you can revoke it and use it,,
Just check the source list validity and regenerate if required..also the Info record validity period and price vlaue,, if you want to change the proce use the MR21 to change the price for the material ,,
Hope it helps

Prevent creation of duplicate material master record

Hi Experts
1) Is there any control or validation to prevent creation of duplicate material? I mean, if the description of new material is 100% or 95% matching with an existing material, there should be a validation.
2) Is there any feature of usage of catelogs for creation of material master description?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
Have a try to use Enhancement: MGA00001, user exit: EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001 for control you need.
You can also use BAdI for this:
BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK -> method CHECK.
In both enhacements there is a structure STEXT - here short text(s) of new created material should be found for validation.
Here you can make some ABAP works necessary.
Hope it helps,
regards,

Updation of ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi,
For ABC analysis, I carried out it according to T_code MC40(Usage value). I got the category of material. For eg "A".But how the ABC indicator updates in Material master.Because I couldnt get indicator in MRP1 view.
Whats the right way? Pls guide me.
Thanks,
Goraksh.

Hi,
Update of consumption is based on movement type, and you can decide which movement types should have or have not consumption updating.
Check in transaction OMJJ if the movement types in question have indicator "Consumption posting" (field V_156_VC-KZVBU) as marked.
If it is the case, consumption is updated, opposite for un-ticked.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Change number in material master required steps to use

Hi All.
Thanks in advance sap mm dudes.
Need steps in sap mm material master change number.
creation of change number and usage of change number
Display of list of changes.
Regards.
parameshwar

Dear Parameshwar,
1.I assume you have created a change number without release key in CC01.
2.In CC02,for the same change number goto object types and include the check box against material for the first 3 check box and
save the change number.
3.Now check in MM02 for any material master changes or I would suggest you to create a new change number with valid from
date as current date,include the settings for material under object types and then check in MM02.
Check and revert.

" Item Category Group" in the material master?

Hi,
I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
2) Create a new "item category Y001 (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
     "Delivery Type" EL    +
     "Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001    +
     "Item Usage" V     +
     'Item Category Of The Higher-Level Item"
     ==> "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?
Thanks.

hi
General item category group
Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing.
*If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent
Item category group from material master
A grouping of materials that the system uses to determine item categories during the processing of sales documents.
the difference between the two lies in the specificity to the distribution channel

Legacy number in the material master

Dear SAP Guru,
Good day.
We are currently in production support today and we want to understand how a legacy number differs from a material number. As we can see in the material master (Classification View) there is an indicated legacy number there with a corresponding value. Could you further elaborate on how and what is the usage of a legacy number?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
JMT

Jasmin,
Basically some clients would be interested to track the SAP material number with referance to the Legacy material number, this data would be uploaded during the Cut-over and data conversion to SAP.
I would suggest you look at the Functional/Tehnical specification document for the conversion program which was used for uploading the material master data into SAP, that would give you the business reason and the field mapping details.

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

Implement the Product Allocation Functionality
We are required to implement product allocation functionality in SAP R/3 (Enterprise Version).
We tried to do the elaborate steps as per the implementation guide but are not successful. Can you kindly help by giving the simple steps for implementation.
Please see if the following helps:
Configuration Overview; Allocation Specific Usage
1.Allocation Procedure (OV1Z) The product allocation procedure is the parent of the entire allocation process. All materials that are to be included in the allocation scheme are required to have an allocation procedure assigned to it in the material master. In addition, as of release 4.0, it is in the procedure that the method of allocation is defined. The user has the opportunity to set an indicator to identify their choice of two different methods (discrete and cumulative allocation) to evaluate the quantities to be considered for product allocation.
2.Allocation Object (OV2Z) The allocation object is the root level of the allocation process where actual data is entered and planned in LIS. The object allows the user to further break down a procedure into smaller parts for future validation of components comprising a specific material
3.Allocation Hierarchy Mapping (OV3Z) Primarily, this transaction permits the assignment of an allocation procedure to an LIS information structure. Secondly, a character is assigned to the information structure to permit collective planning. Finally, the user can assign a step level to the procedure and information structure to sequence the order in which allocation quantities are checked. This functionality allows the user the opportunity to check product allocation against several product allocation scenarios, before the required quantity is confirmed
4.Define Consumption Periods (OV5Z) The allocation consumption periods functionality is only valid if the allocation method flag has been set (OV1Z). If you have de-selected the method field, this functionality is not available. The consumption window indicates the number of past and future periods to be used in the allocation check.
5.Control Product Allocation (OV4Z) In order for the allocation process to function properly, allocation control records are created primarily to map allocation procedure steps to their corresponding objects so that the allocation data records can be located for validation. Secondly, validity periods must be established to indicate when the allocation control records are active. Finally, the user has the option of establishing a conversion factor per allocation control record to accommodate BOM listings of constrained materials
6.Activate Allocation for Requirement Class (OVZ0) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the requirements class must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant.
7.Activate Allocation for Schedule Line Category (OVZ8) In order to turn on allocation in the standard order processing functionality, the schedule line must have a flag indicating that allocation is relevant
8.Create Planning Hierarchy (MC61) In order to adequately establish allocation quantities, the user must initially determine the level at which the allocation is to take place and the aggregation factor of the allocation quantities. In this step, the levels for the collective allocation search procedure are also identified.
9.Generate Masking Character (OV7Z) Upon completion of the level determination for the planning hierarchy, the collective allocation masking character must be generated to allow aggregation indicators to be established. This transaction simply reads the hierarchy established in the planning table and then generates a collective mask character for each level of the hierarchy
10.Modify Planning Hierarchy (MC62) This step is a repeat of MC61 where the initial hierarchy was established. In order to complete the hierarchical set up, the collective allocation (mask character) hierarchy must now be maintained with the appropriate aggregation factors
11.Allocation Procedure Assignment to Material Master (MM02) At the root level of the allocation process are the materials. Each material that is to be considered in allocation scenario must be mapped to an allocation procedure. In order entry, then, when a material is entered with a valid allocation procedure in the material master, the allocation data is verified prior to confirming the line item ordered
12.List of Suitable Structures (OV9Z) This report is used to identify potential LIS information structures that can be used in the product allocation process. This report simply reads through the data dictionary and selects all the active information structures that contain the field product allocation object (KONOB) as the first field. This data can then be utilized in the mapping transaction (OV3Z) to link the allocation procedure step to an information structure (previous step).

Specific Field in Material Master

Hi All,
just some user can't see specific Field in Material Master with using MM03, but others people can. Where should I change settings? Is it something to do with authorization?
thank&regards

execute OMSR,
position on field MARA-WRKST
click the button field selection right of selection group
you will now see which fields are assigned to the group
and below you see in in which field reference the group is set to hidden.
field reference is a multi usage, it can be for material type, for transaction, for industry .
so you have to check at least the settings for your material, for the transaction where you get this effect and for the industry you material is created with.
further there is a customizing transaction OMSA, which is plant specific field selection, and I guess that causes your effect.
open it and see which selection group is assigned to it.
then go back to OMSR and see what status is assigned to this field reference.
