Material type- Usage- Reg

Dear All,
The material type usage given in the forum as
" can control which user department can enter the datas"
Which fields are to be filled during maintaince if Material Master
What exactly this , where we use, is any IMG need to be done
Regards,
Suresh

Hello ,
Material Master : Products and services are combined in the SAP R/3 System under the term material. All information necessary for the management of a material and its stocks, as well as its use, is maintained in the material master record. This includes, for example, data on purchasing, on sales and on storage, Accounting, etc.
Material Type groups Materials with similar attributes.This allows to manage materials with similar
attributes in a uniform manner as per the companyu2019s requirement
Material Type controls:
Number Assignment (Internal or External). It also controls the Number Range IntervalWhether to have Internal (In house manufacturing) and/or External Procurement
Which types of Views (Purchasing, MRP, Sales, Accounting, etc) need to be displayed
Which Screen appears and in what sequence
The Fields in Material (optional, required, display or suppressed)
Along with Plant it controls:
Whether changes in quantity are updated in
Material Master
Whether changes in value are updated in the
stock accounts in Financial Accounting
So based on material type different user department can maintain the data.
E.g for ROH material purchasing ivew is mandatory so purchasing department can maitain thier dat.
Same way for FERT, sales view is important which is related to sales department. If material is warehouse maanged then stores department will maintain warehouse views.

Shall v maintain price control for material type with plant specific ?

Hai Guru,
In OMS2, we change HALB price control [valuation] as V or S. whether shall v maintain this for plant specific.?
Kindly guide
With Regards
Swetha

Hi
if you do not make the indicator Price control manadatory active then you can have different price indicator for each plant. However thsi indicator is never done plant specific. If you wish to have plant specific then you may have to have a new material type and again you need to control the MM01 creation for that particular plant by means of Authorisation control which is littel involved also but can be done.

Default Price Control in material type

While creating a material in particular material type is there any way that price control type i.e V or S can be configured for a particular material type.
Edited by: amitekum on Nov 3, 2010 1:00 PM

Hi,
You can maintain default price control indicator at the time of creating material master record.
If you user needs to change this indicator, they can change.
If Client is saying, don't want to allow these indicator change - You can control by maintaining material type settings.
Transcation : OMS2
Select your material type abd click on the details icon
In the Valuation block, maintain Price control field default as per ur requirement.
Price control = S or V
If you activated Priice ctrl mandatory check box, which is in the same block then Price control indiactor filed becomes displaymode in the material master record. No one can change default price control indicator.,

Message control by Material type

Dear SAP gurus,
I would like to control the material MRP check message when relase the PM order by material type.
I want to give up the material check message to a specific material type used on my PM orders.
Many thanks,
Duarte

Sorry,
The issue is not the MRP checking control for non-stock materials, is the price checking for my non-stock materials that are also non-valuated materials.
Therefore, those materials doesn´t have a price associated, even that the "Accounting 1" and "Accounting 2" tabs are extended on material master.
Why the system doesn´t allows me to put on PM order non-valuated materials with a price of "0" on material master?
Those materials are non-valuated.
Many thanks,
Duarte

Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Nov 4, 2011 8:15 AM

Hi,
1st decide price control for your material type & enter in OMS2 with your material type in Price control field in Valuation segment.
Get field name of price control: MBEW-VPRSV
Get Selection Group for price control in T.code: OMSR: 32
Check Field reference for your material type in T.code: OMS2
Select round box of u201CDisplayu201D for Selection Group 32 by double clicking Field reference & save.
Now create material (MM01) with your material type and you can find Price control defaulted which you enter in OMS2 and it can not changed.

Control the authorization base on material type level

Dear Experts,
We want to control some users only can create or modify the material base on material type level .
For instance , user A only can modify the 'ROH' type material , he can not maintain any 'FERT' type material .
I set the authorization object 'M_MATE_MAR' in the user A's profile , but it doesn't work .....
System : SAP4.7 x 200
DB : oracle9i
Has someone can tell me it is possibile to control the maintain authorization base on material type level ?
Or give me some suggestions.....
Many thanks
Best Regards,
Carlos Zhang

Hi
Yes this works & the authorisation object found by you is also correct.
For the object - M_MATE_MAR
Maintain the activity 01,02,03
Maintain the authorisation group - each material type can be assigned to an authorisation group. In OMS2 , you can assign the authorisation groups to the material type.
For E.g if the material type is ROH- enter the authorisation group as ROH.
Ensure that the user does not have this object, As If this object is present in any other role with authorisation group as * then the * will overirde any value.
Thanks & Regards

Change material type - any warnings?

A material with very little history exists in the system as a semi-finished item with 1220 valuation class. One purchase order exists that is due in, in two days. No inventory exists. The problem is that the system is not configured to post goods against 1220 valuation class items. So it needs converted to a finished good since the plan is to sell it after it is received from a vendor.
No open orders or other movements exist in the system. Just one new open po that was created today, and could easily be deleted.
So, delete the po then change the material type using MMAM.
Are there any recommendations/warnings someone can offer before this is done?

Hi,
Pre requisites for changing a material types:
1. If you use a material ledger the material ledger must be settled in it.
2.If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control for the material the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only
standard price as price control.
3.If the material is already in stock or reservations exists or purchase orders exists the following conditions must exist.
      1. The stock values of the new material types must be updated in the same
          G/L Account as the stock values of the old material types
     2. Quantities and values of the new material types must be updated exactly as were by the old material types.

Creation of Material Master for a material with Material Type NLAG

Hello Sirs,
I have to create a material which will be consumed directly. I would use the
material type NLAG (Non stock material). If I create a material with this material type, will it contain an Accounting view where in I can maintain the price of the
material? If it contains an Accounting view, which type of Price control should be
used (Moving average or Standard)? Further, can we maintain an info record for
a material with material type NLAG?How the price updation happens?
Regards
Yoga

Hi Madhu,
Thanks for your reply. But, I have one more doubt. For non stock materials, we
will specify the cost centre and G/L account at the time of creation of Purchase order. Then, do we have to specify the valuation class at the time of creation of
Material Master since there is no automatic account determination?
Regards

sy-subrc = 0.
DATA : w_matnr LIKE lips-MATNR.
IF T683S-KSCHL = 'LD00'.
IF sy-tcode = 'VL01N' OR SY-TCODE = 'VL02N'.
    select matnr into w_matnr from lips where vbeln eq komkbv2-vbeln.
      condense w_matnr.
      if W_matnr cs '*MASK'.
          SY-SUBRC = 4.

Authorization object M_MATE_MAR "Material Master - Material Types" in MM01

Hi,
We in CPS Energy are implementing VIrsa SOD conflicts on the roles that are in place in current SAP 4.6C version. The authorization object M_MATE_MAR is used by MM01(Creation of Material Master) transaction code & used at mutiple roles. We have restricted this authorization object by Material Type Authorization Group (BEGRU)as WMS1 & given activity a 01, 02 & 03 in a role. The same authorization object is used in Common roles also for displaying that is using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) but the activity & authorization group are ''. This '' is taking precedence over the the authorization object given in the other role.
Please let us know how to put a control on this authorization object which is used widely by large number of users.
Maintained Material Master: Material Types                              T-D119010802
Activity                       01, 02, 03                                             ACTVT
Authorization group          WMS1                                              BEGRU
Any help is really appreciated
Thanks
Sree

Hi Sree, your role with MM03 in it should not have * for actvt if it is only a display role.
As it is a display role actvt 03 would be more suitable. That way you could have display for all auth groups, but create and change/MM01&2 would be restricted to WMS1 (and any other materials with a blank auth group)

Material type in Material master

When we create a new MM, we have to select material type. Here we have different material types like HAWA, FERT etc.. if for our convenience if we want the Description of the Material type to be proposed along with code i.e Like HAWA - Trading goods. where to make this setting?
Venkat
