Material template no.

Hi,
What is the purpose of material template number?
Regards

Dear Lakshmi,
Material template Controls the format of material numbers, in particular, it defines the positions at which the system is to insert additional characters
(editing characters).
template is made up of editing characters and selection characters; an
underscore (_) denotes a selection character that is replaced by a
significant character in the material number.
Examplle
Length of material number      10
Material number                12345678 (significant characters)
Template                       __-_____-_
Presentation                   12-34567-8

  • Business object  for material , template workflow for materials ?

    Hi,
    I need to create a workflow for material master , creating material basic data, create plant views etc
    Which is the appropriate workflow and is there a standard one as a template?
    Thanks
    Antonis

    Hello,
    I feel it is better that you use the standard business object BUS1001006 for your requirement related to the material management as some of the events which are obsolete in the business object BUS1001 have been redefined in BUS1001006.
    Events like "Material created" and "New View for the material Created" are redefined which I think you need for your requirement.
    Hope this will help.

  • Formatted Search on Order Grid with Bill of Materials templates

    This is for 2005A SP01 PL45 (latest patch as of now).
    We have a few formatted searches on the order details that trigger automatically when the item code changes.
    These queries work fine if the items are not part of a bill of materials.
    The queries trigger ok when we use the regular item codes for regular customers when monitoring the item code column.
    However, if you have a BP Catalog customer with a BOM then only the last row of the bill of materials fires and the rest of them do not.
    I tried bypassing this problem by making the queries monitor the Item Description.
    This still worked for stand alone items, but didn't work for bill of materials in either of the case.
    Bottom line:
    A. Formatted searched fire ok on either item code or item description if items are not part of a bill of materials.
    B. When they are part of a BOM, then
    - if we monitor the item code then they trigger ok for regular customers but only trigger on the last row if using BP Catalog codes;
    - if we monitor the item description then they do not trigger at all for either of the customers.
    Any suggestion on how to handle formatted searches for Bill of Material Templates with BP Catalogs?
    Thank you!
    Liviu

    Well, it is a Bill Of Materials "Template" type...
    Go to Production, Bill of Materials, select a product, quantity 1, select the BOM Type as Template and add two other items underneath it, each with quantities of 1.
    Save.
    Go to BP Catalogs, select one BP and add some names for these three items. Check the box to use BP Catalogs for that BP.
    Go to sales orders, add the query above to the free text column, set it as per the scenarios to trigger automatically on Item Code.
    Start two sales orders for this BP and for a regular one.
    Load the BOM item and observe the formatted search results.
    Repeat for the second scenario (where the formatted search triggers on the item description).
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you!

  • Internal number range( alphanumberic) will be incremented automatically

    Dear All,
    Will the internal number range (Alphanumberic)  of the material master get incremented automatically.
    say,
    the internal number range we set is AW0000001 to AW9999999. The number range should be incremented
    Kindly reply for the querry
    Thanks
    Bakyaraj

    You can try with material Template.
    SPRO --> Logisitics - General -- > Material Master --> Basic Settings -- > Define Out put format for Material Numbers.
    Transaction Code : OMSL
    Activities
    1. Define the length of your material numbers.
    2. If required, define a material number template.
    3. Specify the form in which you wish to store your material numbers.
    For information on how to use the Lexicographical indicator, be sure to read the corresponding documentation.
    4. Specify whether your material numbers are to contain leading zeros.
    Note
    If the Lexicographical indicator is set, the system ignores the setting of the Leading zeros indicator.
    Indicator for lexicographical material numbers
    Definition
    Defines the way numeric material numbers are stored in the database.
    Use
    Caution
    It is only possible to set or reset (cancel) this indicator if no numeric material numbers have been used yet in the system since they would no longer be interpretable after setting or resetting this indicator.
    If this indicator is not set, numeric material numbers are padded with leading zeros and stored right-justified (example 1). Material numbers containing at least one nonnumeric character are stored left-justified (example 2).
    Example 1
    Defined length: 8 characters
    Internally/externally assigned number: 123
    Stored number: 000000000000000123
    Example 2
    Defined length: 8 characters
    Externally assigned number: 1A3
    Stored number: 1A3
    If this indicator is set, material numbers are stored as follows:
    If the material number (numeric or not purely numeric) was assigned externally, it is stored left-justified as entered.
    Example
    Defined length: 8 characters
    Externally assigned number: 123
    Stored number: 123
    Note
    Any leading zeros that may have been entered are stored too. This makes it possible to distinguish between the material numbers 123 and 0123.
    If the material number (numeric only) was assigned internally, it is padded with leading zeros to the defined length and stored left-justified.
    Example
    Defined length: 8 characters
    Internally assigned number: 123
    Stored number: 00000123

  • How to build a Hieararchical Table

    Hi.
    I follow the below link to create a tree structured table.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/de59f7c2-0401-0010-f08d-8659cef543ce
    The document says, the child nodes are rendered only when a parent node is clicked at runtime. Is it possible to show all the parent and child nodes at the same time.
    Regards
    Bala

    Hi Valery.
    Thanks for the reply, It was useful. But I have a different scenario.
    My issue on using tree structured table is:
    The Database structure is:
    MaterialTemplate - contains list of all material templates. It has reference to MaterialMD
    MaterialMD - contains all newly created materials
    MaterialValue - Contains the materials with markups and prices. It has reference to MaterialMD
    MaterialGroup - which contains other details with Materialtemplatereference.
    Now I have two scenarions:
    1. Create a new Materialgroup.
    While creating a new material group, I will select one material template which shows
    the list of materials in it (which is in hierarchical structure). From RFC it takes the cost for each material . Then I need to give some
    markup vaue and do some calculation, and finally while saving it saves all materialinformation to MaterialGroup table and cost, markup, materialMD information into
    MaterialValue table.
    Now I come back to main dashboard.
    2. View Materialgroup details
    When I click a materialgroup, now it shows the details of it.
    Also it has to show the information for this mateial group and bucketMD details in the table .
    When I come to the table structure I have to show the information taking from MaterialValue table, where all the data has been saved finally.
    My Question here is: While creating the material group, the information that has to be shown in the table has to come from one table(Material Template)
    and while showing the material group details it has to show the information from MaterialValue table.
    If I use the example as it is in above document Can I implement this scenario because the information is coming from two tables in each scenario.
    My only concern is when I click the parent object in the tree structured node, its information will differ depends upon from where to get it.
    Can I use the existing document to continue this process.Or Could you provide me some tips how to proceed this.
    Many Thanks

  • Error with QM in interface

    For my client we developed a custom interface with the production monitoring system SCADA.
    Basically SCADA will generate a file that is picked up and read by our interface in order to register the prodution. The activities that are performed are: Create a batch, update the batch characteristics and perform a goods movement (create stock). The goods movement is done with movement type 523 which is post into QI. We fail to get this working. Every time we get the error message "Change the inspection stock of material xxx in QM only". What should I do to get this working? Is this a custo setting?
    Thnx for the help!

    It appears you have some inspections set up for the material in SAP.  Check the QM view and see if the "Quality Inspeciton" Active check box is checked on.  If it is, then SAP is expecting you do process the material via an inspection lot that may or may not be getting created for you.
    To test, create a new material, (DO NOT copy the QM screen from an material template you use).  Then test on this material.  If it gets past that error message, then you should be able to look at the QM screens and see the differences.

    Pls help,Thanks
    Rgds,

    Hi Leni,
    Through configuration its not possible.
    Check with your abap team for applying below mentioned user exit while create and change of equipment.
    User Exit - IHCL0001 - Create equipment using material template: Classes/chars
    or
    User Exit - IEQM0003 - Additional checks before equipment update
    This will meet your requirement.

  • How to move support folders to external drive?

    I have probably more than 20 GB of support material - templates, etc. - for DVDSP, Color, iDVD (which I don't even use), on my internal hard drive.
    It could be helpful to move it out onto one of my external HD's, but I'm not sure if I should or how to.

    You can move items pretty easily then recoonect for DVD SP you would. Go to preferences and point the template location (and other elements) to where the templates are on the external hard drive.
    For instance In DVD SP Preferences -> Destinations -> Palette Elements and point to the folder.
    (If you cannot find the templates, do a search for items containing the name .dsptemplate to find the folder where templates are on the external)
    I usually move only the big things (usually audio for Soundtrack, which is about 20 Gigs, which you can reindex, DVD SP Templates and stuff which I do not use) but do leave some things such as Motion where they are. Not sure how much Color really has, but are you talking about the render files?

  • Template and One-Time Material Processing

    Hi experts!
    Has anyone implemented and used Template and One-Time Material Processing?
    If so, what is your experience with it?
    Best regards / Gustav

    Hello Gustav
    we have no experience in using this functionality. In most cases the use of this function is not what you really need in "real life" (depending clearly on the number of "one time materials"). In most cases it is most common to use the "normal" EH&S set up to profit from e.g. MSDS delivery etc.
    But according to:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/es/9e/95463ce293dd3ae10000000a11402f/content.htm
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/98/cb4d3c07c42b77e10000000a114084/content.htm
    etc. it is a "simple" approach as long as you understand what is supported in using this approach and what is not.
    Examples of processes which are not supported are:
    - MSDS delivery
    - EH&S SVT
    - Creation of HSM master data
    - etc.
    As you can see the number of EH&S supported processes is low (only DG processes in reality).

  • Bapi to Create a meterial from a template material

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement to create a material, through a bapi.. But if there is a template material ( copy from material.. ) is given, the material should be created with the details of the given material except the basic data and Classification view. Can any one tell me how can i proceed with this?
    I Can use BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL, and the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. But how can the data be passed from one to another, as they have different structures? and will all the views be taken care of in this way? Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi
    you can try out these BAPI's
    BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE
    BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT

  • SBO - Using the SAP supplied AIO_Material_Master template - Extend Material

    Hoping someone can help here.
    I am using Using the SAP supplied AIO_Material_Master template. I have read the DataMigration_8_Material_EN_US.doc and could not find anything. How can we extend our Material accross all Plants? What are your suggestions?
    Cheers,

    Not sure if I fully understand as I am new to SBO.
    I have created a plant table also within the plant table I have created columns for the different views that would be created under each plant for that Material.
    So I am thinking I need to start at the MaterialMasterHeader_E1BPE1MATHEADER_Required.
    How should I do this. I was thinking maybe placing everything in a While Loop(???). But not exactly sure how. If I map to this table?? how do I flow through all of the dataflows?

  • Material master template

    hi ,
    does anyone have a template for material master, which can be used for LSMW data mapping?
    Please forward it to [email protected]
    Thanks

    The std template can not be work for all bussiness.  you have to create based on your requirements.
    to creating template is not big deal. you just select the fields which you want to populate while createing material master and certain fields which are required entries.
    Or just go to the structure of LSMW - Material master and select allthe fields.
    Go to SE11
    and enter the structure one by one and copy the fields to your template
    BMM00, BMMH1,  BMMH2
        BMMH3
        BMMH4
        BMMH5
