Material Search based on field - Document in ECC 6.0

Hi All,
Need one help
In Material Master Basic Data 2, we have one field : Document under Drawing details.
In 4.6C, there was option to find list of materials based on field Document : inside Tab Material by Old Material Number
But on ECC 6.0 this field Document is not available in any of the search options.
I want to find all the materials against Document in ECC 6.0.
Please help me out on this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ravi Davda

Custom FM for material search

Hi expert,

Searching based on the content of an uploaded document

Hi,
Is it possible to search based on the content of the document I have uploaded. The system used is ECC 5.0.
Eg : I have uploaded resumes of employees and I have search based on their skills. Is it possible to search based on the skill which is mentioned in the resumes and provide the output.
Thanks,
Sarath.C

I can't do that without knowing the structure of your document, it all depends on wether the data you need is in a fixed position in a fixed line or it's in a variable position and the correct line or position needs to be found before using it.

Find Item number based on Sales document and material in GTS system

Dear experts,
I have a situation where in I created a Sales order in ECC system and transmitted the document to GTS for compliance check.
Now, during my subsequent processing in ECC side, there is a situation where in I need to check if the document (at every item level) is blocked for any reason or is it good to go. But I do not have the item number in ECC side (at the point where I'm calling RFC to GTS to check). I only have sales order number and the material number.
So, can some one point me table level information in GTS side on how I could find the item number based on Sales document and the material (In our scenario all our materials in a sales order will be distinct).
Please provide me table information on where the sales document number, item number, material info are stored in GTS.
Thanks for your time

Material Statuses based on the Purchase order Document type

Hi Experts,
We need to maintain the Plant material status based on the purchase order document type.
Example - If I am using NB for normal purchase orders and ZB for STO procurement then, there should be a material status which should give warning message - 'do not use ' for ZB STO purchase orders and it should allow to create NB purchase orders for that same materials.
Please advise what are the possibilities?
Thanks
Regards
MM

Hi Gurus,
Thank you for your reply, Please find my replies below
@@ - Mallinath - We need this restrictions for some type of materials ( with specific Material types) which should not be procured through inter company STO process, buying plant should use the normal purchase. for other Material types they should be able to use the inter company STO process.
@@ DEV - We are already using the Spl. Procurement keys for inter company STO process.
Example - Material type ZXYX should not use the inter company STO process, but it should be allowed all other processes.
Please advise how we can control this process?
Thanks

Make material as a mandatory field for a particular document type in PR

Hi,
Currently we are in SAP 4.6c version. There is a business requirement for making material as a mandatory field for a particular document type of purchase requisition as they don't want the user to raise non material purchase requisition using that document type. The field for material is currently not available in the configuration for Define Screen Layout at Document Level for purchase requisition.
So could you kindly let me know the possible options to prevent user from raising a non material purchase requisition using that document type. If not could you kindly suggest me the user exits available at the time of saving purchase requisition which i could use so that we can write a code to check if the material number is entered or not. If not entered prevent the user from saving the purchase requisitions.
Also it would be helpful if you could let me know how the fields for enjoy transaction (like material,document type) can be made available for selection in the configuration for Defile Screen Layout at Document Level for purchase requisition.
All you help in the solving the above problem is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Ram

Hi,
Check below method works out for you, if you do not want to proceed with any ABAP development.
Have a custom field selection key with Material Description field as "Mandatory" and "Display" in Basic Data, Item selection group.
Assign this to your PR document type which need material as mandatory. With this you are making user to enter material indirectly as mandatory & user will not have an option of entering text which avoids indirect / service procurement.
"Material Group" option won't help as User can have default settings with some value and it updates even in display mode of field.
Regards,
Ram

Material search by description

Hi,
we want to use TREX for material search from MM03 F4 search .
we are able to search based on material no , EAN no , but not with material description.
I dont want to use full text search field because it do the search on other fields as well.
Let me know what could be the cause that material is not getting searched by description.

CRM 7.0 Material Search and MDM

How could MDM be used in CRM 70 , in order to have a better/quicker material search functionality ? can the same be done for ECC ( pre-requisite, having all the characteristic defined in MDM) . Any presentation on the topic will help . Thank you.

Hi Christophe
this can be done. You can call MDM web services for either doing a Free form search or even run a MDM matching strategy to find potential duplicates defined based on rules in MDM.
In one of our projects we have used Web services call from CRM ecommerce portal to MDM for doing a Customer search.

Querying characteristics in Enhanced Material Search

Hi Glen,
I'm glad you are interested in the Enhanced Material Search. I am the solution manager responsible for this function. Your requirement is well known, but so far I don't see a simple, standard worthy solution to allow a search for (hundreds or even thousants of) characteristic values while keeping the user interface simple when selecting or displaying the desired value(s).
Maybe you have an idea for an appropriate customer specific solution that fits your own requirements. Therefore you can use some Business Add-Ins to create customer specific search criteria (see my blog /people/ingo.woesner/blog/2009/03/05/enhanced-material-search-with-creation--part-4-how-to-create-new-search-criteria-wo-modification). Using the badi described therein you could create a new search criteria "Classicification Characteristics " and select specific characteristics. Of course you have to add all characteristics to the SES business object BUS1001006 before, as you have mentioned.
More Business Add-ins for various topics are mentioned in my other blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/12999. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
I hope this brings you a step further. In case you need more guidance, you can give me a call on +49 6227 771737, and we will then find a time for a webinar/conference call. I will try to get a developer invited as well.

Thanks for your response, Ingo.
Whilst I really like the current design for simple requirements (extend a structure, change some config and, voila!, you have new search criteria), when the requirements become more complicated, it would be nice to have more flexibility to dynamically influence which index is used to do the search. The results of the search could then just feed into the results view as per normal.
Here are a few ideas which are based on my own situation but might be suitable and/or scalable to other situations. I haven't put too much thought into them so they may or may not be feasible.
As mentioned in my original post, we only have a small number of variant classes for which our material variants are created. My thought it that we could create a separate index and business object class for each variant class (all the indexes would be very similar to BUS1001006 but have their own extra attributes for their own characteristics) and a dropdown field on the search view that allows you to choose the variant class via which you want to search. Changing the selection in the dropdown field would change the available search fields in the view and when the search is executed the index that corresponds to the chosen variant class would used for the search.
I'm happy to discuss this further to refine the requirements and/or design.
Regards
Glen

How to find the list of material variant based on the characteristics value

Hi
We are creating materials variants for FERT Material Type in material master in MRP-3 view .There we configure the variant by attaching characteristics value
Now we want to have a report , which can give the list of material variants , if char value is given in selection
Can somebody guide me if there is standard report for this OR what is the linkage in Table , so that we can develop a report
rgds
Sandeep

I couldn't find a standard report to get the material variants based on characteristic values (the nearest I could find was CT12) but I wrote a report some time back here's the table join logic for the main select statement.
select a~matnr
        e~atwrt
        h~atwtb
into table i_tab
      from MARC as a
      inner join IBIN as b
      on b~instance eq a~cuobj
      inner join IBIB as c
      on c~ibase eq b~ibase
      inner join IBINVALUES as d
      on d~in_recno eq b~in_recno
      inner join IBSYMBOL as e
      on e~symbol_id eq d~symbol_id
      inner join CABN as f
      on f~atinn eq e~atinn
      inner join CAWN as g
      on g~atinn eq e~atinn
      and g~atwrt eq e~atwrt
      inner join CAWNT as h
      on h~atinn eq g~atinn
      and h~atzhl eq g~atzhl
     where     a~matnr in s_matnr
            and e~atinn in s_atinn
            and e~atwrt in s_atwrt
           and b~valto eq '99991231235959'. "This is important condition
I included bare minimum fields to suite your requirement needs you can add whatever other field you want . Though I tested the table join, I suggest you to test it again before writing your own ABAP program using SE16N.

Search help for field in SM30

Hi Experts,
This is a Z table with first field as GROUP and second field as KEY.
User can select values for first field using a search help. It has three possibel entries
1. Purchasing Org
2. Region
3. Coutnry
In second field the user has to enetr value based on selection in first field, for eg. if 1 is chosen in 1st field user will enter name of a purchasing organisation.
Can we dispay a search help for second field based on the selection in first field?
Like if 1 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Purchasing Org
if 2 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Region....in SM30?
How can we achieve this?
Thank you,
Anubhav

Hi Anubhav,
1.Go to the table maintenance generator screen from SE11 (Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator).
2. In the Table maintenance generator screen , navigate to Environment -> Modifications -> Maintenance Screens
3. Select and Edit the screen where you need this new search help
4. Create a Process on Value Request module for your second field at the end of the screen flow logic after MODULE LISTE_AFTER_LOOP.
5. In the POV module, use funcntion DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the value of field 1 on the screen
6. Fill your own table with the values for field 2 based on field 1 and display selection using the function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
Hope this helps.

Ref2 on JE not populated for Credit Memos not based on another document

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
When the Setting in System Initialization\Document Settings \General tab\
Document Remarks Include is set to BP Reference Number, the Ref2 field on the Journal Entry for the document is populated with the BP Reference from the document. This is true for all documents, regardless of whether or not the document is based on another document, EXCEPT for AR and AP Credit Memos. In the case of Credit Memos, if the Credit Memo isnu2019t based on another document, the BP Reference isnu2019t written to the Ref2 field on itu2019s Journal Entry. Our customers have complained that this makes it very difficult for them to do their reconciliations as the Ref2 is blank on the reconciliations screen for these Credit Memos. If the Ref2 field were populated in the same manner as other documents, the Ref2 Field would contain the same BP Reference as the invoice(s) it should be reconciled with. We have been asked to request that this functionality be added in a future patch, as it would greatly simplify the customeru2019s reconciliation and save them a great deal of time and effort.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
It is very difficult to reconcile our Credit Memos with the correct documents, as there is no reference available on the screen to connect them to the other documents. This requires a great deal of time researching which Credit Memo(s) should be reconciled with which Invoice(s).
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
When a Credit Memo (Purchase or Sales) not based on another document is created, the Ref2 field on the Journal Entry should be updated with BP Reference entered by the user on the Credit Memo.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
None. Hours wasted trying to reconcile correctly.
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
When a Credit Memo (Purchase or Sales) not based on another document is created, the Ref2 field on the Journal Entry should be updated with BP Reference entered by the user on the Credit Memo.

Sally Weinrauch

GR based IV field in PO

Hi,
We would like to make GR based IV field set as mandatory during PO create transaction.
Can we do this change at any time. Our company is using SAP since 2 years , now we want to make this field mandatory(default to check and display only).
How this will affect
1) Is this change apply for existing POs
2) Is this only applicable for new POs created after this change.
3) Is there any impact for the process
4) What are the precautions that need to take if we want to make this field as mandatory.
Please advise
Thanks
Udaya

Hi Udaya,
I would suggest you to post this question in the ECC section. PO creation is done in the ECC R/3 system.
Regarding PO GR based field. If you make it mandatory in ECC, it should only impact the new PO's. This is configuration setting which will be done by MM consultants. Consult your MM consultant.
Thanks
