Material master vs. Client?????????

Hi,
Here is a question I need a logic for it.
On material master, what organizational level is the divison at?
Answer is "Client" in one of sample certification questions.
Can someone explain this?
Thank you very much.

Hi HK, AK, MK.
The term 'client' means that the division of a material is maintained at a client level and it cannot have more than one division in that client. This is unlike customer master where division is below sales org. It means that one customer master can be extended to multiple divisions (by extending to multiple sales areas).
But a material always belongs to a division unlike customer who can purchase products of multiple divisions. So it can have only one division in any client.

The requirement is to copy a list of Material Master available in a specific client to a different client within the same system.

Hello Naveen,
If the connection is available (test with SM59 + Connection identifier),
after choosing your Connection you can test the connection:
you might find the idocs with the daate when they where sent in SM58:
The message says in this case there was no service, there might also be other errors like "wrong password" and so on.
After solving the error, you can restart sending the idoc from this screen.
Hope this helps .

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.

Adding fields in costing view of material master

Hi gurus,
I need to add 4 fields in costing view of material master. I have followed the steps in SPRO, for configuring customized screen in material master.
1) Created a function group YMMCO and copied the screen 2904 from program SAPLMGD1.
2) Added 4 fields in my customized screen.
3) Created copy of 01 ( Screen reference ) to z1 in OMT3B.
Since 2904 is not there in the sequence . I changed one 0001 sequence at the end to 2904 . I also assigned my program
SAPLYMMCO to it. I can see the changed fields in data screen and subscreen.
4) Then I assigned the SSq to z1 in transaction OMT3E.
But unfortunately, when I go to MM01 to create a material , I am not able to view the fields I added in costing view.
I have checked the screen for the previous field, it shows 2904 only.
Two days back, I did the same thing in basic data view 1 , it was working properly. As per client's suggestion I put it in
costing view, it is not working . Please give me suitable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I also need to add custom fields to Basic data view. After copying & changing the screen sequence in Config, I could able to see the custom fields in Basic Data view.
I have appended structure with custom fields to MARA table.
But the values I enter in the screen is not getting updated to the table MARA.
Can you please let me know the code, I should have have in PAI (Process After Input) module in the Sub Screen to update the values?
Thanks,

Material master data complete in bi - infoset or multiprovider

Hi all.
for one of the reporting requirement of my client i need to extract the complete material master data in BI - from MARA, MARC, MARD, MSTLB tabls.
which i have done and stored in the infoobjects - 0MATERIAL, 0MAT_ST_LOC, 0MAT_PLANT, 0MAT_SALES.
now user want to see all the information against each material in 1 single line the multiple lines will only come in when there is plant.
which approach i shoul go for this scenario.
infoset or multiprovider.
i created infoset by using inner join but then i see only common materials, left outer join is giving me problems.like -
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_PLANT)
Invalid or missing ON condition for left outer join (0MAT_ST_LOC)
Invalid ON condition for left outer join (0MATERIAL)
kindly give your suggesstions on this.
thanks
dipika

Hello,
There are restrictions regarding left outer join in infoset:
If a left outer join is used, the following restriction applies to the right table (right operand):
·        Only join conditions with exactly one other table can be defined and
·        This table in turn cannot be a right table (right operand) of a left outer join.
Tables connected with left outer joins always form the end of a chain of tables. In this way, as many tables as you want can be linked in an InfoSet with a left outer join to a core of tables that are connected using inner joins.
The restrictions on the definition of left outer joins are due to the technical limitations of databases. These restrictions do not apply to inner joins.

Replication of Customer and Material master from R/3 to CRM

Hi
Recently in our quality server basis administrator has made a client copy from production server after that customer master and material master are not flowing from R/3 to CRM, even sales orders were not getting copied from CRM to R/3 , i went through C71 BB config document and fixed the sales orders updation from CRM to R/3 but not able to resolve the problem of customer master and material master from ECC to CRM.
I went to B09 BB document and all settings are fine.
Using R3AS I have loaded following objects DNL_CUST_PROD0, PROD1, PROD3, SPROD , DNL_PLANT. and Material.
I went to R3AM1 and checked the status as running or wait for each object.
There are no filters in R3AC1 .
Queue name withR3AD_MATERIA0000000001 has status SYSFAIL in SMQ2 .
What can i do to resolve this problem.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Vaishnavi

Hello Vaishnavi,
After the client copy , have you run txn:BDLS in order to change the LOGSYS in all relevant tables?
You can run this txn in test mode as well to see the affected tables.
Are you getting any dump on these load ?Check it in txn:ST22.
Hope this helps!

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master

Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jay Shah.

Hi..
Refer to Data Inconsistency of BUOM in Material Ledger Tables

Unit of Measure in material master

Hi
I have a Raw material consider (Forging) for which material master is maintained "PC" as Base unit of Measure. I have defined in Additional Unit of Measure as 500 KG = 1 PC. Also my order unit is also maintained as PC.
Here when they procure castings they order it as 1 PC only. But when the actual material comes there may be some variation in weight. The client wants to make payment on actual weight basis only .
Also stock keeping unit and issue of material is done as PC only.
Please guide me how to address this issue.
Regards
Kumar.

Hi
With the existing master data you can acheive your requirement.You can maintain the price in info record in Kgs or in PO Item conditions tab you can maintain the price per kg.
while doing the miro please enter the actual quantity in<b> Qty in PO price unit</b> in Quantity tab ans save the GR.When you do MIRO, system will propose Qty as 1PC and value as <b>Qty in PO price unit X Price per kg</b> maintained in PO.Please try this solution.

Moving average price has become Zero in Material Master

Hi,
Can you please help us , if you have any ...this kind of situation in your projects.
Scenerio:
We are using Workflow mechanism for creation material in Master data client
01. After creation of Material, it will go for approval (to six departments in SAP Itself ) and after their approvals,it will be moved to "Book of Records"( to Transactional client)
02.If the requester is submit the Material for approvals, it will create IDOC and will be moved to "Book of Records"( to Transactional client).
03.If any error is there in the Material views, IDOC will be failed in Outbond system( Transactional client)
in this case.We use BD10 to move the changes manually.
Problem is,
01.We moved manually 10 materials on 29/10/2008 through BD10 to Transactional client .in this case, we observed that, the moving average price(VERPR) ,Commercial price 2 (BWPH1),and Moving average price (if the price control is S) (SALKV) has become Zero.
Why ?
Why this 3 fields become Zero ?
Is there any link between these fields and How ?
Note: Price control "S" is maintained to the above all the materials.
Can any body help us to find out the reason ?
*What is the solution to find the Moving average price now and to update as on date ?
Is there any field , we can see the Moving average price in backend ?*
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Normally when you create a new material, you need to provide the price manually for the first time. Now since you said your price control is "S". Otherwise your IDoc should have a price for the Standard price when it is "S" and Moving Average price when it is "V".
It can be ZERO if you intend to create and release a std cost esatimte (For internally produced materials).

Moving average price in material master

Dear All,
M client is in manufacturing process(variant configuration) having make to order scenario (Non-Valuated).
We are having steel and ring business, For Steel business we are producing in house/subcontracting and For Ring we are sending Raw material/Semi-finished goods to Sub-contractor for which he is charging processing charges. Raw material/SFG(semi-finished goods) provided to subcontractor is SFG for steel business.
We are doing movement type 912 E for sending goods for subcontracting (sales order is attached) and while doing G/R through MIGO processing charges are debited and credit goes to gr/ir account,Upto this point I am ok with costing as visible from sales order analysis(KKAC).
Now In our scenario if out of 6000 rings (as defined in sales order)customer is rejecting 1000 rings we have to detach that sales order through movement type 411 E and bring to our own stock or by movement type 412 E attach to another sales order .Also We are using 413 E movement type for transferring unsold goods to another sales order.
In 411 E and 412 E movement types system takes moving average price (maintained originally ) and by using movement type 413 E no value is transferred only quantity is transferred (because of non-valuated scenario).
Now if system picks original price maintained say at re.1 my costing for detached and attached sales order are incorrect .
Example
Material master(A) accounting view
Map     1
Stock     100               total value     100
Sales order 1(10 tonnes)A (finished product)
Cost     1000
Revenue     800(5 tonnes)
sales order 2
cost b/f          5
Revenue        800(5 tonnes)
Now if 5 tonnes are detached from sales order it picks price from
Master i.e Re.1 so Rs.5 is taken to own stock through mtype 411 E
Or it takes Rs.5 to another sales order 2 as cost of 5 tonnes .
Now my sales order 1 will show loss of Rs.195(995-800) and sales order2 shows profit of Rs.795.
I want to know whether system is behaving correctly or some customization is to be done.
Thanks and Regards
Vijay
