Material Master workflow views

I have a material master workflow which determines the views of material number. Configuration is there for several warehouses and getting warehouse view extension for all warehouses. My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses? Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
Thank you,
Nagarajan

Hi,
My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses?
Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
So I hope you are trying to start the workflow by making use of events, if this is true then there will be an entry maintained in the txn SWE2.I think the best way to handle is to make use of the Check Function module, This is beacuse I am not sure whether you would be able to get the warehouse information in a BOR Business object,
So try to create a check function module and map this function module against the entry in the SWE2 txn. There you would be having the flexibility write your own validations, and later in future if you want to either include or exclude the validation you can do it easily...
The main purpose of the check function module is to do this kind of validations and validate the event.... IF you feel that the workflow should not receive the event then raise a exception in the check function module this makes sure that the workflow wont trigger for that specific warehouses.

Re : Material Master Workflow

Hi Friends,
           I'm in the process of creating Material Master Workflow (i.e) Basic data will be created by one person (initiator) and the workflow gets started and various views will be created by different people.
          Usine BUS1001006 methods Getmissedviews and createviews i'm sending workitems to the respective persons for creating views. The method CreateView is an asynchronous task hence the terminating event is required.
          The problem i'm facing is even if one view is created , the workitems in other's inbox is removed.
Can any one help me onthis regard.....
Regards,
Vijay

Material Master Workflow

Hi,
We are planning to implement the same thing. <as described in [this thread|Re : Material Master Workflow;>
Can u please provide me the valuable inputs for the same?
I have just started the preparing initial document,
so if anyone can provide me the details about this, I would be very grateful.
Initially i was planning to create one module pool program. Anyone who wants to create a material will go to that transaction and will create the basic data. Once he saves that data a chain of e-mails can be sent to other concerned persons. These people will enter the respective data and then they will send this to sap-core team. I was planning to introduce SAP-Workflow here only. We have thress level approval process.
But idea of creating / maintaining different views via sap-workflow is very appealing , so now thinking
of giving a try to this!
Waiting for any inputs and your experiences on working this.
Regards,
Vinod.

Hi Parag,
Is BUS1001 still the right object for material (I see in 46C its event ViewCreated has been flagged obsolte.
You should otherwise be able to base your next step on this event. In my system 46C, BUS1001006 would be the right object to use.
hope this helps,
cheers,

Interactive ALV to report to get into Material Master Sales View

Hi,
I want to know way to get into Material master Sales view from an Interactive ALV report.
In the output we have (custom report for Sales) the Sales Order item information. If the user double clicks on the material, it should directly goes to the Material Master Sales org 1 view. I can able to get to MM03 initial screen to display the list of views, but it would be better we can use the Plant, Sales Org and plant info from Sales Item to get into the material master Sales view.
I checked that this functionality is there in the standard code. If you double click on the material in Purchase order display(ME23N) from the item level, it is directly getting into Material Master Purchasing view. Is there a way to achieve this.
Your suggestions would be appreciated with points. Thanks!

Hello,
Yes, it's possible using the CALL TRANSACTION command with the addition AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN. The only thing that you need is to fill the fields from the first screen (SET PARAMETER command).
DATA: carrid TYPE spfli-carrid,
connid TYPE spfli-connid.
SET PARAMETER ID: 'CAR' FIELD carrid,
'CON' FIELD connid.
CALL TRANSACTION 'FLIGHT_TA' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
Regards.

What is Material master workflow

Hi gurus ,
Can anybody explain what is Material master workflow & Function Module ?what is its use?

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.

Material master - accounting view 1

Hi experts,
I forgot to mention the standard price in accounting 1 view before saving a newly created material and now the field appears greyed out when I try to enter the value in MM02. Is it possible to fix this issue?
Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Sethuraman,
If Price control for the material is maintained as V, then using MR21 price can be maintained. In your case price control is 'S' Standard price hence standard cost estimate to be run for updating the standard price in material master.
Below is the procedure to do standard cost estimate and update the standard price in materials master:
Prerequsites:
BOM and Routing Master data.
Rates in KP26 for Activity Types for the combination of cost center and activity types in the restective period.
Procedure:
Go to tcode CK11N - Ente the Material number, Plant, Costing Variant and Costing Version and press enter twice.
Material wise and activity wise cost details will be displayed. If any error are there click on error log for rectifying the same.
Click on SAVE for saving the cost estimate.
Now you need to mark and release the cost estimate. Go to tcode CK24. Enter the period and year. Eg; Current month - 3 and 2014.
Enter the company code, plant and material number. Un check Test run.
Click on Marking Allowance. Another screen will come -Select the company code another pop up will come -enter the costing variant and SAVE. Come back and click on the execute button on previous screen. Message will be displayed as " materals cost estimates were updated succesfully". Come back to initial screen.
Click on Release on application tool bar. Then click on Execute button. System will display the message as 'Price Document updated". Come back.
Now Go to Material Master - Acounting view standard price gets updated.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

Material Master workflow - how to use a BAPI?

Hi,
I need some help with a material master workflow.
My requirement is to automate some changes to the material master as steps in the workflow, they are:
Set the Cross plant material status
Set the material deletion flag
I see that the BAPI SAVEDATA is available as a method of BOR BUS1001006. I have created a task with this method but I cannot work out how to automate the changes to the material in the workflow using it?
Has anyone used this BAPI method in a workflow before, how do I automate the changes to the material using it? or is there another way to make changes to the material as a background step in my workflow?
Many thanks,
Neil

All,
thanks ever so much for all your input... I have fixed the problem and it was obscure!
Firstly my binding was wrong... I should not have bound the clientdata and the clientdatax
since the settings I was trying to default (material status an del flag) from the master task were actually being overwritten with this binding. bit of a schoolboy error that one.
Secondly I created 1 brand new task and reused 1 old task for the purposes of setting the material status and the deletion flag respectively.
I managed to get the first one working this morning by removing the binding, the second one still errored with the message about source and target structures being different... which got me thinking, so I created a brand new task for setting the deletion flag and ... it worked!
So why? ... then I realised.
We just upgraded to EHP7 and this workflow existed prior to EHP7. I copied the workflow and edited it for my new business requirements. Reading some of the release notes it turns out the structures have changed and there were conversion routines for fixing them.
All sorted now!

Batch Determination in SD - Need for Material Master Classification View

Hi!
Is it mandatory to have the classification view of the material maintained to enable expiry date based batch determination at delivery creation?
I have configured BD for the delivery. When testing with a material for which the classification view is maintained, the batch is determined. When testing with a material for which the classification view is <b>not</b> maintained, the batch is not determined.
Appreciate that this may seem like a strange question given what the testing shows but I am working with a colleague who is adamant that the classification view on the material master is not required.
Any casting votes would be much appreciated and rewarded accordingly. Thanks, Duncan

Classification of batches is mandatory if you want to use the batch determination feature.

Material Master MRP View not be created till Basiv View is created

Hello All,
I need an information where i would like to know if an MRP view in a Material master can be restricted without the creation of the Basic View. Basically an MRP view is getting created even though the Basic View of material master is not there and it needs to be stopped.
Thanks for your inputs.
Ismail

Dear Syed ,
If you want to prevent end users update other material master views , you can apply the concept of SAP note 545380 - FAQ: Authorizations material master , with this you will not more problem with this kind of problem.
Hope this can help you.
Please let me know if my thinking about your question is correct.
best regards,

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
