Material Master weight issue while packing

Hi Frnds
I have an issue with the incorrect weight calculation while packig the material in delivery.
The business process requires the product to be sold in packs (5/10/25/50/100). The product is placed in a tray that holds these products which is a pre-packing step. Therefore the weight of the tray is included in the material master.
But the wieght of the packs vary within themselves, the weight of a 10 pack tray will be diff then the weight of a 100 pack tray. Also it can be possible if a customer orders a 100 pack product the our shipping team may give him 2packs of 50 instead of one pack of 100. The weight variance is generally observed on lrge orders, when the acual weight is off XX lbs than the SAP calculated weight.
How do i take the weigh of the tray into consideration when delivering different packs???

hi
u can go with pop1 instruction, where in u can specify whether the weight of the packaging material to be considererd or not can be specified.hope u can go with packaging instruction to solve ur issue.better consult with ur SD consultant.

Hi gurus,
I want to upload material account assignment group in existing material master records. There are n no of material mater records.
It has to be uploaded based on the valuation class.
For each valuation class, a material acct assignment group is created. All materials are extended to 31 plants.
While I try to upload using tcode mm17, I cant upload material acct assignment group using the valuation class since in valuation tab,acct assignment group is not present.
Kindly help to sort out this issue.

Update new material master weight and dimension in open sales orders and de

Hi,
Iu2019m maintaining gross weight, net weight, volume in material master. When the time of sales order entry in VA01 its calculating weight and dimensions based on material master and order quantity. And I create deliveries in VL01N.
If I made a correction in the net and gross weight in material master after I created the sales order will the correct net and gross weight will pick up at the delivery creation.
In other term is the VL01N net and gross weight is taking from which is available in SO or Material master.
Is there any standard transaction to update already existing open sales order, delivery net and gross weight once it is corrected in material master?
Please advice.
Sam

Is there any standard transaction to update
No it is not possible to update the weight in existing sale order or delivery. You have to change it manually or create a new sale order. Weight in delivery will be fetched from sale order only and hence, whatever delivery you create referencing a sale order, system will copy whatever is there.

LSMW- Material Master Performance issue

Hi All,
We are using the prgoram RMDATIND to upload material master through LSMW and having a problem of performance while using this technique.
Have 4Lak records to be uploaded in 10 hrs as it required to upload all views.
Pl advice except separate the records.Is that any option to run the file in parallal views?
Regards,
Asirvad

I think best option is to break the file up into many chunks that can be processed in parallel. If this is not an option then you need to consider what is on the selection screen of RMDATIND, for example "Create change documents". Is this required for your purposes as this takes a lot of time.
The other thing I would suggest is to talk to your basis team because there are settings and config they can put in place to aid this load.

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
Manoj

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..

Material Master Archiving Issue

Hi,
I have Issue with Material Master archiving. I got an error message" MARD:Reservation /Dependent requirement exist.
I have checked in MB24-Open reservations. All Reservations are closed. No stock existed. No Transfer requirements & No stock in transit.
I ran MBVR also.
How to solve thsi problem.
Regards,
Sridhar.

Hi Sridhar,
You may refer to note [900537 |https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=900537]for details:
Error W4017 - Reservation/Dependent requirements exist:
This message indicates that some reservations exist for the material you
are trying to archive. You should be able to see the existing
reservations using table RESB. Firstly, you must archive the document
that caused the reservation to be created, for example Production Orders
then you must archive the reservations themselves. Afterwards, it should
be possible to archive the material.
Note 30781 may assist if you identify that these requirements stem from
purchase requisitions.
Hope it helps.

All help will be appreciated .

Edited by: sap11 on Sep 3, 2009 3:29 PM

Hi,
It means that material is not created in the system or someone has defined the date to be used i.e active from to date in t.code MM13. And if u r getting this message for some particular view than it means view is not created for the material.So u have to create the view before displaying it.

Material Master block Issue

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to block the newly created materials from using in procurement or production until a BOM and Routing
is created for the same.
I tried applying a delete block after creating the material and thought that the same can be removed after creating BOM and Routing. But I realized that SAP doesn't allow creating BOM for a material with deletion flag.
I am wondering if there is any way we can achieve this functionality. Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi,
You can block the material at Client level and at Plant level
At Client Level in MMR under Basic data screen X-Plant Material Status
At Plant level in MMR under purchasing screen Plant Specific material status

Change the profit center in the material master

dear All,
we need to change the profit center but the system is not letting because the is stock.
i was thinking if we issue this stock on any cost center, change the profit center and then cancel the issuing material document ...
what do you think ,,,, would this effect the accounting badly ?? if so,, please recommend other ways

tej yadav wrote:
Hi, The only solution to change the "PROFIT CENTER" for you will be to maintain message MM335 in OMT4 as a warning, then change the Profit center & again change it to error.
Are you really thinking this is the right approach?
ever thought about how the posting are made in the other modules then? We dont live on an MM island, so a solution has to cover the requirements of the connected modules as well.
if you had received stock to a material with profit center A, then value is posted to profit center A.
if you change the profit center in material master to B while you have stock, the value of earlier receipts will not move from profit center A to B, they stay at A.
The next goods issue for this material is made against the profit center B.
this results in having a postive value at profit center A (which will never go away) and having a negative value at profit center B (because you had never received to profit center B what you just issued)
Because of this you should not change the message settings.

you cannot issue anything in the prior period if everything is already issued in the current period.
One should obtain the quantityof previous period in material master accounting view.
Finally you have to have zero stock in current and previous period before changing profit center.
How you approach this is based on the fact if the current period stock is bigger or smaller than the previous period stock.
if current period stock is bigger, then issue previous period stock with previous peiod date, and issue remaining stock in current period.
if current period stock is smaller than previous period stock, then you have to write on the delta in the current period, and subsequent issue the total stock in the previous period.

Your approach is right. when we had this issue we solved through created dummy material and issue it to dummy material, change the profit center and receive it back..
>
> Both options dont affect the accounting.
Goods issue to cost center or goods movement 309 to a dummy material will both affect accounting and create accounting documents.
of course, if everything works well then you will get accounting documents with opposite value after you have changed the profit center and you write on the quantity again.

Difference between profit center in OKB9 and material master

Hello,
I have a small doubt over here in the profit center point of view.
We have created profit center 1200 and assigned the same in material master. Now while doing PO system threws error message like "Account 5005115 requires an assignment to a CO object Message no. KI235". To eliminate this error i have assigned Cost element(1001125) and Profit center(1200) in TC: OKB9, now system is able to post everything fine.
Here the issue " If i can change profit center in the material master say ex: 1201, system picks from the material master only then why assigned in the OKB9? while doing MIRO system updated in the 1201 profit center".
Could anybody update me why we need to assigned profit center in OKB9 and Material Master?
Thanks
anifi

Hi,
This is about co.code level field status and Transaction level field status. In OKB9 transaction profit center is maintained and it is getting picked up.
As per SAP if any transaction level field status is maintained it will overwrite the co.code level field status.
So, here when you are giving the input of Profit center in the material master itself it is overwritting the co. code level field of profit center. If nothing is given in material master, then by default OKB9 level profit center will be picked up.

Issue In Material Master Creation.

Hi All,
We are migrating from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0.
We have created a Test system in 6.0 which is replica of our existing Production system in 5.0. I have checked relevant config settings everything is ok.
While doing testing we observed following issues:
1.) We are not able to Create Master Data which is Material Master, after entering all relevant information we are getting error: erro Log for the same says:
1.) E MG 144 : The field 'Care Code' is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry MARA-CARE_CODE
2.) The field 'GI Proc. Time' is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry MARC-GI_PR_TIME
3.) E MG 144 : The field 'Purchasing Across Purchasing Group' is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry MARC-MULTIPLE
Please sugest if there is any SAP Note we need to implement for this.
thanks & regards,
Prashant Rathore.

Hi Prashant,
the 'required'-state as well as the occurance of a field on a screen
can be customized. You should proceed as follows to resolve the issue:
1. Call transaction OMSR
2. Press the 'Field Name'-Button, enter a field there, for instance
    MARA-CARE_CODE, and press enter. This will lead you to the
   settings for that field.
3. Now press the button with the green arrow on the right to the field.
   By this, yopu reached the screen where field selection can be
   maintained, the decision whether the field should be required
   is customized.
4. The above list is the list of fields which are customized together,
   as a field selection group. The below list defines whether the field
   is required. If you dont use that field at all, it should be
   sufficient to take care that for no field reference, 'entry required'
   is switched on.
5. Now proceed the same for the other fields, which have not been in
   the same field selection group.
Regards,
Mauro

System demands Weight unit as a mandatory field in material master

Hello friends,
When I create a material with only basic data view, the system doesnot require the weight unit field(in basicdata1 view) as a mandatory field, but when I try to create a material with salesorg1 view , it makes the weight unit filed as a mandatory field and also populates the weight unit field with the value as "KG" by default. Could any one please help me to find out where I can see the configuration and the default values.
Thanks,
Ramineni.

Hi Ramineni,
Plaese go through the menupath to conttol the field selection in the Material Master just like the fields controlled in customer master. Here you can select the required fields as mandatory, suppress or Required. I believe you need to take consideration of Material Type while doing this.
Spro->Logistics General->Material Master->Field Selection.
Consider the transactions : OMSR & OMS9.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks and Regards,

HI,
ADK-based archiving relies on two main elements, which are used for the development and administration of archiving solutions: Archive Development Kit (ADK) and Archive Administration (transaction SARA).
ADK and SARA are part of the standard SAP Web Application Server. ADK is the Application Programming Interface used by the applications to develop archiving solutions, while Archive Administration (transaction SARA) is used mainly by data archiving administrators to manage all tasks related to data archiving, including job scheduling and management, writing, reading and deletion of data, as well as Customizing.

SAP SCM Upgrade to 5.0, Material Master Initial Transfer Issue

Dear Folks,
We are doing an upgrade to SCM 5.0 for a client and are facing the issue of material master initial transfer. The changes to exising material like Proc type etc. travel seamlessly but while we try to create a new material in R/3 and transfer it to APO or if we delete an existing product in APO and re-transfer the material from R/3, it simply doesn't happen. We donot get any kind of errors also. We have tried various suggestions and solutions but all have failed. To summarize the activites that we have done to check the issue, please see the track below.
Action                                                              Observation
1. Observed queue blocks on R/3 and APO sides:            No blocks.
2. Important logs on R/3 as well as APO side:                No error logs on CIF observed.
3. Check material master data fields in R/3 relevant and necessary for APO: Done
4. Check the APOKZ flag in MARC Table:                        Done
5. Check OSS relevant notes for the issue:                      Done
6. Check CIFMAT and MATLOC tables in APO:                Done
7. Check the TRFCQIN and TRFCQOUT tables in APO     Done; nothing relevant to CIF observed.
8. Debug CIF and find the issue                                       No breakthrough.
9. Check location and location pre-requisites for CIF         Done
Now we have raised OSS notes to SAP and are awaiting a solution.
I request all Gurus to pitch-in and suggest possible issue here and perhaps a solution too. I am very hopeful that some one might have faced similar issue and have found a solution to the same.
Warm Regards,
Chandra

This required packaging materials to be CIFed first before transferring the other materials. Issue resolved, SAP issues a note on this.
