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.

    Hi,
    I'm not creating two different material type but I would create the material as HALB across the plants and delare the FERT valuation class in the sending plant(i would also delcare it as RG1 in J1ID) at receiving end the valuation class would be ROH's valuation class. Is this right ?

    Hai Guys,
    Jino here,can anyone please tell me the procedure for creating my own "MATERIAL TYPE"
    while creating a new material.
    Regards
    Jino.

    Hi
    decide which material type in the standard availabilty closely resembles you New material Type  you are planning to create, It may be ROH/HALB/FERT/ERSA or any other. Use the TxN OMS2 for this, select the existing Std Material and do a Copy As and name the New material Type starting with Z . for example ZRAW , once saved select the material tyep and go to the details of the new material type , you can remove Certail views if you donot wish to have it during material creation, check out other parameters also lie external proc/internal proc, standard or Moving avg price indicator  and proceed as required for you.

  • Reg: Document type should allow  only one  Material Type or a number series

    Dear Experts,
    In my project , clients requirement is to restrict the Material Type or  the number range assigned to a Matreial Type for a perticular  PO Document Type. We have  one document  type for Local Work Order -YLWO in which we  want to  enter the DIEN material type  material code only. since we want to use the Po document type to procure service from local vendor and same time we dont want to use the SERVICE Entry Sheet for the external service. Please guide me...
    My opinion is  -- We can try with USEREXIT  or BADI.
    If I am right then can any body suggest me Badi or USEREXIT name....
    We are using 4.6C so I am facing some problem .
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Dibya

    Check the following  BADI with your ABAP Consultant  
    ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST
    I have used this BADI for controlling the type of vendors  according to PO document type. Currently I do not have access key to check the fields in this user exit. Check with your ABAPER on this whether it can fulfill your requirement.
    The use of item category D results into the service entry sheet. If you want to use DIEN material type then you have to do GR.
    what is the difference from your requirement ???
    Service entry sheet is nothing but the GR only.
    DEIN material type is used basically from SD or Customer service module.
    please make clear to forum what is your some problem by using 4.6C. It is too generic a statement.

    Hi,
    New Material type is required to meet various business functionalities of client. Depending on user department views required by client, field selection key required, wheather quanity and value updation is required or not and if so under which valuation area its required, wheather the business wants to have default value of price control  in material master, number range intervals to be used and wheather its internal/external, account determination process etc are some controlling functions which may force a business to create customised or new material type.
    Similarly new movement types can be created when the controlling features of the existing movement type do not match the requirement like wheather any movement type is required to move goods from GR valuated stock ( as an illustration), wheather auto PO/Auto storage location needs to be decided automatically, new account grouping and field selection procedure to be used etc are some controlling functions. As an illustration in earlier version of ECC 6.0 there was no movt type like 107,109 etc but since most of the business wanted to valuate stock when goods movement will occur from GR valuated stock , the above movt types was introduced in ECC 6.0. Thus business justification and understanding should be concrete to create new movt type.

  • Creation of material in material type "hers"

    Can anybody please tell me in detail how to create a material in material type "hers"

    Hi Keerthi,
    you can take eg: of Manufacturer Part Profile for this scenario.
    Create External No ranges for Vendor Account Group MNFR and save.
    Now Create Each Make like ABB as one Vendor in XK01 Trxn code.
    Create Material Code original in mm01 with ROH material type. (for eg Transistor which is available with ABB & Seimens make)
    Create material code with Material type HERS which contain only two views (Basic Data & Purchasing) and give Make, Original material No & Material group and other details and save.
    Create a Purchase order with original Material, then it will ask for mnfg part profile then select the material and click F4 on it it will show you the created mfg part nos like ABb 7 seimes and select one and save.
    Before this you have to Activate MFg part profile in OMPN trxn code.
    And in Material master Purchasing View Select the mfg part profile and save.

  • How to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material

    Hi,
    There is an issue where user wants to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material .Is  it posible to do so??
    IF not ,how can we delete that material from material master so that another material with same number and required material type and industrial sector  can be created.
    Points will be definitely rewarded.
    Thanks
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit,
    You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
    Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
    OLD Material New Material
    1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
    2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
    profile actvated profile actvated
    3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
    Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
    4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
    acs
    It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
    If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.

  • Material type for BOM that should not create production order

    Hello all,
    We have following situation in our company:
    We ship few products say for e.g A,B,C which are part of higer level BOM for product M1  to the customer, before the actual product M1 is shipped.Currently these ship-a-head products(A,B,C) is also part of  BOM for M1.
    We need to combine these ship-a-head products A,B,C as one product  M2 (thinking of a BOM) and ship that M2 to customer before M1 is shipped.
    In that case what could be the material type for product M2 so that MRP won't create any Production orders for M2.
    Also wondering Is there any other way, other than creating a BOM that could combine products A,B and C and ship to customer a-head of time.
    Thanks,
    Sre

    Hi,
    Please create BOM for Material M2 by using usage other than production..

  • Material type for Project related

    Hi ,
    When creteing the material master we have which take  "Material Type"  if it related to project , i am perticular about construction and instaltion related business topic . Normally we take Raw material , semi finished material and finished material in case of manufactureing industry , in construction in

    Hi
    In projects also maximum Raw material is used. Usage of semifinished and finished material is minimum.
    i am particular about construction and instaltion related business topic .
    In construction industry raw material type is used.
    Ex:
    Cement, bricks etc...
    Cement and bricks is a finished product for production industry, but this as RAW material for construction industry.

  • SERVICE  PO using service master and service PO using Material Type DIEN

    Dear Gurus can you differenciate between SERVICE  PO using service master and service PO using Material Type DIEN ?
    Regards
    Vinod Suresh Kakade

    Hi,
    Material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.
    When you are procuring "SERVICE" from your vendor, you can use external service management where service master is used (Steps are PO created in ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "K" or "C", ML81N, MIRO & F-53).
    In Standard DIEN material type designed for Sales usage only, but you can use DIEN for Purchase also to avoid External Services Management.
