Material Number prefix Isuue

Hi Friends,
In my SAP system we are using number range for material is as 12 CHAR. so we have created all materials with 12 no char only.
We are this system for the past 3 yrs. Now all of a sudden my system is not accepting 12 CHAR material numbers, it is only allowing 18 CHAR materials only. I have to Prefix Six Zeros. say for ex : i have created a material with number 222222222222 (12 CHAR) and i used it for my all transactions, now it is not allowing access the same material 222222222222, instead of that it is allowing me to access 000000222222222222.
Now the problem is the reports which we developed basing on material is not showing any values.
Is there any configuration for this??? How to remove those six zeros from prefix of the material??
Thnx in advance for your replies
Regards,
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
Check whether there were any changes done in Material Number Format.  This can be done in Tcode OMSL.  Check what is maintained in Lexicographical & Leading Zeros.  This will influence how the codes are stored in table.

  • Add sub number prefix/suffix to main material number

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to solve the below scenario:-
    I have one material number: Mineral Water with different brands as below:-
    Borneo
    Spring
    ABC
    How should I configure the above materials in SAP to differentiate the different brand?
    Pls help asap.
    Thanks & regards,
    Loi

    Dear Loi,
    Pl go to configurations(SPRO)
    use split valuation active and
    congigure split valuation .
    The materail types: Borneo,Spring and ABC are the three valuation types for the valuation category"z or y"for mineral water.
    The valuation types are to to assigned with the same acc.assign catergory as that the mineral water material type.
    The valuation category is to activated for the plant you are using.
    Then create material Mineral water for your plant and assign "z or Y" valuation category in the accounting view1.
    subsequently , again create mineral water with valuation types:
    Borne,spring and ABC.
    this way you can split valuate the material Mineral water.
    If you are satisfied pl award marks.
    Bye.

  • 0 to be terminated from Material Number

    The 0MATERIAL is diaplyed in most of our Purchase report which displays the material number preceeding with zero's. eg. 0000000026 and 0000001235 etc.
    Please guide us in eliminating these zeros. It should display like 26 and 1235.
    This should be done in Bex.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Hariprasad V

    Hi Hariprasad,
             Goto 0MATERIAL info object in the change mode. In General tab, there'll be a drop down for conversion routine. There, you have to use the conversion Routine 'Alpha'.
             It will help you to prefix the values for 0MATERIAL with zero's during the processing and in the output it will automatically remove all the prefixed zero's from the 0MATERIAL.
             Hope it helps you. Assign points if it helps you.

    Hi,
    This function module doesn't pass Material number while creating the inbound delivery.  Instead you can use the function module GN_DELIVERY_CREATE along with NUMBER_GET_NEXT function module.
    See line number 631 to 656 of include LBBP_SIC_40F02 (Called from Line no 18 of BBP_INB_DELIVERY_CREATE) for more details.
    While using the function module BBP_INB_DELIVERY_CREATE, material number is not passed to the function module (GN_DELIVERY_CREATE) structure field XKOMDLGN-MATNR.

  • Material number is blank in FBL3N for doc type SA

    Hi,
    If posting is coming from SD or MM module, the material number is reflected in FBL3N for GL acct "Material price variance".  But when the posting is coming from FI, the material field is blank. 
    But in another company code, when  postings are from FI, the material field is correctly populated.  
    I have already checked and verified that BSEG-MATNR was defined as a special field.  I have also ran RFPOSXEXTEND and BALVBUFDEL but the material field from FI posting is still blank.
    The FI posting involves filling up the material or product number in the profitability segment amongst other fields and then system will do a derivation.
    Can someone point me to the right direction on how to get the material field populated by an FI posting?
    Thanks and regards,
    Thess

    Hi,
    The material field should appear in FBL3N for all types of postings, provided it got populated.  Can you please check, whether material field  is getting populated in BSEG table for that document # ?  If the material is not getting derived, then it won't appear in the report.

  • Production Order without Material Number and linked to a PM Order...

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to create a Production Order without Material Number (because it is a "just one time" production), and link it to a PM Order (enterred by a sister Plant) in order to finally report the cost to that PM Order?
    And if YES, how to do it???
    Explanation of the problem (business scenario):
    We have 2 Plants. Let say Plant "A" and Plant "B".
    Plant B is producing spare parts for Plant A.
    There are usual spare parts, which have a Material Number.
    But there are also spare parts which will be produced only once, and which don't have a Material Number. (= because it is a very punctual production).
    Plant A needs a punctual spare part.
    It creates a PM Order for Plant B.
    Plant B needs to create a Production Order for that spare part (without Material Number).
    Then, when confirmed and delivered, the cost of that production needs to be reported (assigned) to the PM Order.
    Thanks in advance for your help on the subject.
    Regards,
    Rudy.

    Thank you for the information.
    After some modifications on the Prod.Order Type and the creation of a Reference Operation Set, it seems to work.
    Still have a cost problem, but on the way to be solved.
    Thanks a lot,
    Rudy.

  • REPORT WITH MATERIAL NUMBER

    Hello Everyone,
    I have successfully brought in data from multiple datasources into a multi provider. All 4 datasources have a common field and that is MATERIAL. The data in the multi provider is obviously not cleansed.
    What I would like to do is merge all data that corresponds to Material A combined in the query. All data for Material B combined so on and so forth.
    In simple words I want data by material number when i execute the query. So it will have to fetch all records for Material A and combine in one line or row. How can I do that?
    Thank you much
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    Create a query on Multiprovider if you are sure that all the necessary data is retrieved into multiprovider and create a variable on Material if it is a characteristic. When you execute the query, Material variable values will be displayed and based on the selection of the material, you can have the necessary data. In the query, you need to take the order of the fields as mentioned below.
    Rows:
    --> Material
    --> Field1
    --> Field2...........
    Columns:
    --> KF1
    --> KF2............
    Hope this helps u...

  • Report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number

    Hi,
    Is there any standard report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number ?
    For the moment, we are using MM03 to search articles by these selection criterion.
    Thanks,
    Julien Girard

    Hi
    As there is no stsndard report use the SQVI to find out the details, It is very simple , please follwo the below steps.
    Use Txn SQVI, enter the Quick view field say- ZMNFR and click the  create button, Enter the title in the next screen i.e Report name- Say - Manufacturer's Part No. Details, in the same screen you need to enter  MARA  for the data from table/database view, please leave the 1. data source as Table only and the radio button as Basis mode only.  Click the tick mark , you will go to the next screen,
    You will notice Quick viewer Intial screen
    Open the node general material data
    Select the Buttons besides the fields MARA-MATNR for material number, MARA-MFRPN for manufacturers part number, and MARA-BISMT for old material number. You can include any other field if you wish to have in your output. You will notice two check boxes against each field, one is for input screen field and the other is for outputf field. But currently you do not bother about and select both the check boxes or any other field you wish to have as input and output as well. Once selected all the fields afer clicking the check boxes save the total arrangement. and then in the same screen use the execute button or use F8 to find out your report input screen.
    Now enter the Material number for which you wish to know other two details in the report and execute again you will find the report output.
    Please ensure that you are maintaining both the details in material master basic data1 and purchasing  view if you wish to get  out output

  • Stock analysis based on vendor material number

    Hi
    Is there any report which can show the total stock of a material with split on vendor material number (I am entering different vendor material numbers upon goods receipt) or any query I can write to get the above result?
    The requirement is as follows: I will order an item with name say X and vendor supplies the item with different name say Y. So I am maintaining vendor specific name in vendor material number. Now I want to see the stock X with what quantity of it is Y.
    Thanks

    Dear Praveen
    You could use the following;
    Input and Output Conversion of Material Numbers  
    Use
    Like every other part in the SAP system, an inventory-managed manufacturer part has an SAP-specific material number that uniquely identifies it. If this material number is uncommon or unknown to the vendor, you should consider the following (especially in the purchasing process):
    ·        You can enter a part with its Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) and its External Manufacturer, and not just with its material number. This is possible because of the input conversion of material numbers.
    ·        The system displays this part with its Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer in lists and screens. This is possible because of the output conversion of material numbers.
    You have to increase the maximum field length for input and output values in the Output Length for Material Numbers field to enter and display the MPN and the manufacturer code in one field
    Prerequisites
    You have made the following settings in Customizing:
    ·        You have activated the conversion exit for material numbers.
    ·        You have maintained a delimiter. The delimiter separates the MPN and the external manufacturer when they are entered or displayed in one field.
    ·        You have specified a maximum output length for material numbers. This means that the fields for the long material number are scrollable, and the output columns for lists are wider.
    You configure and activate the conversion exit for material numbers in Customizing by choosing Logistics - General ® Interchangeability of Parts ® Set Up Conversion Exit for Material Numbers.
    Features
    Input Conversion
    If you have activated the conversion exit, you can enter the relevant MPN instead of the material number in the relevant input fields.
    If the MPN is not unique, you enter the external manufacturer in the same field, separating the MPN and the external manufacturer by the delimiter defined in Customizing.
    You have defined: as the delimiter.
    Enter 45L700W:36121 (Manufacturer Part Number, Delimiter,and External Manufacturer) for the part, instead of material number 1011. If the MPN is unique, you only have to enter 45L700W (the Manufacturer Part Number).
    You can now scroll the input field for the material number. This allows you to enter the maximum output length for material numbers, which has also been defined in Customizing.
    Input conversion gives you an alternate and additional input option. You can still enter the ERP material number to identify a part.
    The system determines the correct material number from your input, and passes it to the program logic. The system handles your input as follows:
    ·        If your entry contains the delimiter, the system splits the entry at the delimiter, interprets both parts of the entry as the Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer respectively, and searches for a part corresponding to these entries
    ·        If your entry does not contain a delimiter, the system interprets your entry as an (ERP) material number, and searches for the corresponding part in the material master. If this is unsuccessful, the system interprets your entry as an MPN, and searches for the corresponding part.
    If the system cannot determine a part clearly, or the search is unsuccessful, it issues an error message.
    Value Range for MPN on the Selection Screen
    The system converts the MPN into a material number internally.
    To ensure that the system correctly interprets the value range for an MPN that is entered as selection criteria, when the conversion exit is activated, the system provides both the material number and the MPN as selection criteria in the selection screen.
    Output Conversion
    If the conversion exit is activated, the output conversion ensures that the system displays the MPN and the external manufacturer on screens and in lists, separated by the delimiter in the field or column that usually displays the ERP material number.
    If the Output Length for Material Numbers field in Customizing is not long enough to display both the MPN and the external manufacturer, the system displays the MPN, if it is unique.
    If the MPN is not unique or the output length too short, the system displays the ERP material number.
    The system displays parts with the output length defined in Customizing. In addition:
    ·        You can scroll the output field for the material number on screens.
    ·        The system adjusts the layout of lists to the output length.
    List Formatting
    If you use the inventory-managed MPN, you have to change the list formatting as follows:
    ·        Variable length of the material number in reports
    In cases of the automatic conversion of the material number into an MPN and external manufacturer, the system takes account of the Output Length for Material Numbers field (defined in Customizing) when it structures the lists for selected reports. This ensures that columns are aligned, line breaks are correct, and the lists can be read.
    ·        Adding a field for the external manufacturer
    The external manufacturer should also be displayed in lists because the MPN, into which the material number is automatically converted, is not always unique.
    In Customizing, you have defined whether the external manufacturer should be displayed with the MPN. The system adds the field for the external manufacturer immediately after the field for the MPN in lists and on the screen.
    You can display the external manufacturer with or without an active conversion exit.
    ·        Sorting by MPN, not by material number
    You can sort some lists by material number.
    You can sort by MPN in cases where the MPN is displayed instead of the material number.
    with kind regards
    Sundar

  • How to set a default value in MARA field 'Old material number'

    Hello everyone,
    I have a requirement to fill automatically the field MARA-BISMT (Old material number), when creating a new material (using for example MM01). What is the best way to do it?
    My idea is to have somewhere a field exit (?) with some ABAP lines to concatenate the material type code with part of the material number, and show the field already filled when in 'Basic data 1' screen.
    Does anyone have an idea? Or an example in the system with a similar functionality already implemented?
    Thanks
