Material Status

Hi,
what is the difference between these two fields
VPSTA (Direct input: field MARA-VPSTA (full maintenance status)
PSTAT (Direct input: field MARA-PSTAT (maintenance status))
Thanks.

MARA-PSTAT (Maintenance status)
The Above Contains the Material Master Views Maintained for material master. For Eg: KEDLQBGV Here You cannot Create Plant Stock & Storage Location Stock Views During MM01.
MARA-VPSTA (Complete Maintenance status)
The Above Contains the Material Master Views Maintained for material master. For Eg: KEDLQBGZXV
The Additional Views are X Plant stocks & Z Storage location stock Which you cannot Create While Material Master ann but can be seen Using MM03 Display For Plant Stocks.

Material Status Report

Hi Gurus,
Is there any standard report for Material status.
we are maintaining the status in OMS4.
which we are using in Material Master like
Blocked for procment/whse
Blocked for task list/BOM
These statuses for a particular material, i would like to know from any standard report.Pls suggest me.

Hi
The material status tells you whether a material is subject to restrictions, and what they are. For example, a material may be a part under development or one to be discontinued. The use of a material can be restricted in a number of ways:
The material can be blocked for use in certain business activities by assigning one or both of the following material statuses to it:
Plant-specific material status
In the standard material master, this field appears on the Costing screen, MRP screen, Production Resources/Tools screen, Purchasing screen, Quality Management screen, and Work Scheduling screen.
Cross-plant material status
In the standard material master, this field appears on the Basic Data screen. It is valid for the whole client.
There is no standard report available for Material status display.You need to develop new report for this.Simple you can copy MM60 program RMMVRZ00 and this field in the same develop new program. or
You can get details from the table level.
For cross plant status (Client level)
Field: MMSTAE and Table MARA
For Plant specific
Field: MMSTA and Table: MARC

Material status at plant level

Dear Guru's,
Please suggest the material status or any other solution for blocking material for planning i.e. there should be no PR, planned order or sales order. But that status should not create problem while mass level changes for BOM, Routing, DMS.
Status 90 in MRP 1 creating problem while applying mass level changes. Also tried 00 & 01 but they are allowing to create sales orders.
Regards,
SAP CONS

Hi,
Go to OMS4 & check the statuses & their values. Choose the one which meets your need. If none suits, then create one.
You can prevent a material from being part of MRP run, while allowing to be in BOM by setting B & blank or A respectively.
Revert if you face any issues.

Vivek

Material statuses error message should go after entering Trackin No in PO

Hi All,
I have created one Material statuses with error message, I have created material with the use of that material statuses..
Its working fine,At the creation of PR, PO I'm getting that Error message..
My requirement is if I enter Requirement Tracking Number at item level of PR or PO means that Material statuses Error message should Go out and system has to allow to create PR or PO..
Is it possible?? how to do it?? plz help me...
Is it possible in standard SAp???
thanks and regards
rames reddy

Hi,
You can keep Requirement Tracking Number as Required Entry in field selection key (NBF or a copy of NBF as ZNBF) of PO document type in u201CReference data, itemu201D segment in following path:
SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Screen Layout at Document Level
And then assign field selection key to PO Document type and save.
SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types
Now create PO with PO document type, system will ask you to enter Requirement Tracking Number in u201CItem Overviewu201D unless then you can save Purchase Order.
The same you can do for PR document type by having a field selection key for PR document type.

Material status blocks creation of reservation in SRM

Dear All,
We observe the following behavior in our SRM (5.0) System:
If we create a caddy for a product that has the Cross-Plant Material Status : 04 (Material master, view Basic Data 1) in the Backend-System, the reservation can not be created. There is a message indicating, that it is not possible to purchase the product.
If we create the reservation for the same product direct in the Backen-System, there is no problem.
This is OK, if we do external procurement, but internal procurement should not be blocked in SRM.
Do you know where we have to customize this message?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas
understood.
not possible to purchase the product --
is it having a purchasing view in ECC .
If you did not pull this materials in to SRM , how can you procure from SRM web portal.
first you need to select this material via internal goods and services in the srm web portal . then only you can order a material from SRM.
if you pulled a material from ECC to SRM and it must be in COMMPR01.

How to validate material status in physical Inv Doc creation using MI01

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how to validate material status while creating physical inventory document using MI01 transaction.
I tried to figure out a suitable BADI and customer exits ,but it didnt work out well.
Kindly share your thoughts on how this can be achieved.
Regards,
Mohammed Aslam Rasheed

Do you really create your inventory documents with this MI01 transaction manually by entering material for material?
The real transaction for physical inventory is MI31. How do you want SAP to react if hundreds of materials are selected and inventory documents are created in a batch process?
SAP takes care about the material status in MI04 and MI07 transactions.
I am not aware of any exit for MI01 maintenance, you may consider Explicit and Implicit Enhancement Options

Material Status field in Material master

Hi,
This is regarding Material Master.
Where can I find field Material Status (MARA-PSTAT) in Material Master??
regards,
Rc

Different views of material master when maintained are given a unique ID such as:
Work scheduling - A
Accounting - B
Classification - C
MRP - D
Purchasing - E
Production resources/tools - F
Costing - G
Basic data - K
Storage - L
Forecasting - P
Quality management - Q
Warehouse management - S
Sales - V
Plant stocks - X
Storage location stocks - Z
MARA-VPSTA- MARA is the master table for materials and is at client level. VPSTA tells you all the views that have been created for the material. and Plant Stock and Storage Location stock views get created automatically.
MARA-PSTAT - tells you the views that have been created manually.
MARC-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Plant
MARD-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Storage Location data (Storage)
MBEW-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Finance (Accounting and Costing)

Material status in material master

Hi,
We have different type of statuses that can be maintained in material master like -
Distribution-chain-specific material status
Cross-distribution-chain material status
Cross-Plant Material Status
Plant-Specific Material Status
The settings for these are maintained as part of configuration.
Is there any possibility to further add some more control parameters in the statuses through development or customising?
regards,
Mohit

Hello Mohit ,
What kind of control you are expecting through the material status ? We can do config and maintain new material status through the t-code OMS4.
Just to mention few of the control few of the control we can do from there are Message/Error if independent requirement is created for material , Message /Error if material is used in MRP, Message/Error if material is used in production order header, Message /Error if material used in WM transfer reqmt/posting change etc etc .
There are other plenty of option there which you can explore.
I hope the information helps
Cheers

Material status in PO

Experts,
If I want to exlude / influence the material status (blocked for purchasing with error) check in PO type UB (Stock Transport Order), how to go about it? Is there a standard solution? This order type is used only for transfering stock within the company and not to purchase. It does not make sense to block this order type.
Also, are there user-exits / BADIs to influence it? Would appreciate your inputs.
UV

Dear,
I think you are getting error while creating STO for some material & trying to reectify that error.
If my assumption was correct plz proceed like below,
Check Material master MM03 - Basic 1 view >X-plant material status> Blocked for procurement(01)
If avail plz take remove it.
Also check MRP1 view...there is also an option to block the material for procurement.Plz remove it also
Then create STO,

Storage location material status

Hi,
I wanted to ask if anyone knows if / how can we maintain storage location - material status.
I mean to use the same functionality of plant material status which determines which of the logistic processes a specific material participate in.
We need the same thing but at storage location level. The reason is, that at some times several storage locations are going through a (physical) change, e.g. redecoration.. and we need to "block" them for some processes like, stock transfer, purchase requisitions... and so on...
Regards,
Doron Oded.

Hi,
Well, thanks for your answer, but it is insufficient..
We need to block the storage location for processes which are not necesseraly manual, like MRP, ATP, and in places where there is no check at storage location level - Logistic execution (deliveries, shipments), Purchasing... and so on..
If for example, a storage location is damaged due a storm, or any other act of god (or man).. We need to block it to all logistic processes. The question is - what is the best way..?
Thanks,
Doron Oded.

Reporting Material Status

Dear All,
I would need help in solving my issue: I have to make a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE (is still used) and which one is not used. I found 3 categories for 'Material status' in Material Master:
-     Cross-plant material status
-     Cross-distribution-chain material status
-     Distribution-chain-specific material status
My problem is that I don't know which one to use to define the STAUS of the given Material.
Can anyone help me in this??
Thank you in advance,
Anita

you missed a forth field: plant specific material status.
you said you have to create a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE
how do you know these markets from your material master? can they be identified by sales org, dist. channel and division?
if yes, then you can concentrate on the sales statuses (distribution-chain material status)
a status can be customized to restrict certain activies, but can as well be defined just as pure text without any restrictions.
if you want use sales statuses for your report purpose, then make sure you are not in conflict with your SD consultant who may want to use the sales status differently.
a Cross-distribution-chain material status effects any combination of sales org, dist. channel and division, while a
Distribution-chain-specific material status effects only one combination (the one where it is maintained )

XML file getting stucked in queue in ECC preventing material status in MDM.

XML file getting stuck in queue in ECC preventing material status in MDM to be changed.
Hi SAP Experts,
We have an issue regarding XML messages getting stuck in queue in ECC preventing the material status in SAP MDM to be changed from "Approved" to "Updated/Posted".
Checking in transaction SXI_MONITOR the status of the XML Messages are Scheduled or Green Flagged, looking at the time started it has been an hour and it is not yet processed successfully; and also checking the queues XBTR* (XBTR0001, XBTR0002 and ETC.) via transaction SMQ2 have stopped.
We need to manual process the XML messages for it to be processed successfully.
I'm unable to understand why these files are getting stuck in Queue's.
Many thanks in advance and have an awesome day ahead.
Regards,
Aeron Merc

Hi Aeron,
Check whether the Queue XBTR* (XBTR0001, XBTR0002 and ETC.) is Unregistered in SMQR.
If it is so you can see as U in the Queue type.
Try to register by selecting the queue and click on Registration button and activate.
Then check your message in MONI, hope this should solve your problem.
Thanks

Material status in master data set not allow create production order. but..

Dear All expert.
There is one case I don't understand, the component material within BOM had been set material plant status which it is not allowed to create Production order ( Porder header Msg & PO/Network item msg = B in OMS4).
If user use tx:CO01 for create production order, the error message block production order can't be created. It is good .
However, when user is using Tx: CO41 to convert planned order to production order with that material ( status which not allowed to create production Order) . it is successfully without any error message .. User successfully create production order without limit.
Therefore, is there any configure in IMG was wrong?
thanks for reading.
Marco

Dear R.Brahmankar,
I had followed your instruction to check. It is very helpful.
when I check program in CO41 (saplcoup), I found that it only check material status (FG) on top level of BOM .
Its don't check component material.
Function CO_ZF_CHECK_MATSTAT_POS component item in BOM , the program will not check item plant status.
When I use TX: CO40 to test. I found that CO40 with Program LCOSD1J - CHECK_MATSTAT_COMP have component material status check.
I'm not sure is that genic CO41 don't have component material status check?
ths alot

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
Regards
Raja
