Modifying standard material type configuration provided by SAP

I was recently involved in a discussion regarding whether or not to modify sap provided material types (e.g. FERT)
My position was that SAP provided material type configuration should not be modified, instead a z-version of the standard material type should be copied over to a z-version or a y-version (FERT copied as ZFRT), configurations changes made the z-version. My position was based on the following considerations:-
Reference to the original
Possible implication at the time of future releases or upgrades - In Some of my previous projects this was a reason why the standard material type configurations were never touched
Hence I am curious to know if there a more current or correct position on this topic.

Hi Jose,
You are absolutely correct that standard material type should not be changed as you can always reference to the original if you want to create a new material type by copying the old ones. I too have seen ZFRT and FERT.
I go by creating a Z one, as I have always the option to reference the original Material Type. As the above members have already replied the same.
It is very easy to check the material type like FERT, ROH etc. However, say you have changed the settings for standard material type like FHMI, LEIH, VERP etc and you want to create a new material type by referencing any of the above, you will need to check client 000 (as referred by Jurgen) to check what Pricing control it have S or V. What Item Category is in original. What selection of views are there in original etc. you always have a better edge to check from the originals if you do not change them.

Authorization material type in material master

Hi expert,
I want to know how to restrict users to create/change Material Master following
the material type in the role.
In role authorization Object: M_MATE_MAR Material Master: Material Types.
I maintain material type like ROH , HALB , HAWA in authorization Group.
But it is not work. Please help me.
Thanks,

Hi,
Pl. check your role to users for the material master again for allowed material types. It should restrict the users only for the selected views only. This should be done for all the roles assigned to users in relation to materail master. (i.e. Create, Display & CHange). If you restrict the material type in create role only & it is not restricted in display role, then user will be able to create all the material types. hence restrict the material types in all roles related to material master (create, change, display) assigned to the user.

"Material type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 1000)"

Hi Guys
I am trying to copy the BOM of a material.
The error msg.
"matrial type HALB cannot be used with item category L (plant 1000)"
Diagnosis: you want to enter a new componet with material type HALB and item category L.
Settings in IMG for production (master data> BOM > Item data > define item category) determine that inventory management for this item category is to be based on quantity.
However, other settings in the IMG for material HALB in plant 1000 determine that the quantities are not updated in the material master. This means that you cannot enter this material with item category L.
Can anyone tell me how to correct this error please.
Thanks.
Ahmad Yahya

Hi Ahmad,
Follow this navigation path in SPRO
IMG: Logistics > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Type > Define Attributes (OMS2)
Select a material type ( like in your case HALB) and navigate to Quantity/Value Updates. Now try to locate your plant to which you want to assign your BOM to. And then set the flags Qunatity Updating and Value Updating and save.
Now, you can come out of CS01(BOM creation) transaction and re-enter CS01. Now you can maintain the data and error will not come.

How to create new group for material type

Hello all experts,
Im unable to create a new group for materials types, diff groups for FG and raw materials material type??
Could you pls help ??
Thanks in advance.

Hi
When you create a new material you have to specify the material types like finished goods or raw material like that in the initial screen
For this new material types can be defined in
SPRO -> Logistic - General -> Material Master -> Basic Settings -> Material Type ->Define attribute of material Type
T code OMS2
After specifying the material type and giving organizational data like plant, storage location,sales org etc we go on to create the material
In one of the tabs the material groups should be specified and from MM point of view it is a reqd entry
this can be defined in
Define Material Group
SPRO -> Logistic - General -> Material Master -> Setting for Key Field -> Define Material Group
T .Code: OMSF
I beleive this is what you are asking about

Changing standard material types

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0
I want to change few settings for standard materials types like FERT, HALB, ROH and HAWA.
For example Standard FERT does not have Purchasing view enabled but I enabled it.
Will these settings be reset when we go for upgrade in future?
Thanks
George

Hi,
You can change settings related to std config, depending upon your clients requirement using T code OMS2. In that case once you make changes in std config then all materials are created with purchasing view.
But it will reset after you upgrade your system in future as these are standard SAP settings.
As our collegue mentioned it is better to create another material type instaed of changing std material type.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Best Regards,
Avinash.

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.

How to prevent a printing of Delivery Note for Spcecific Material Type

Hi,
I had a requirement wherein it was required to "Prevent Mask Delivery notes from printing to Shipping dept"
addition info: All delivery notes are currently set to print in shipping. We can put in a logic to prevent the printing of
delivery note for a specific material type (like mask)
for this i used copy control routine 'RV61B902' in the include for tcode vl02n or vl01n..
my logic is fine..
include 'RV61B902'.
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.
          exit.
        endif.
    ENDSELECT.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
question : My check was overwritten by the subsequent logic
please advise.

Convert Material Type FHMI to ROH

Hi, Friends
I have create one PRT material, also I create the view of Production Resources/Tools. Afterward , I use T_code 'MMAM' to change Material Type 'FHMI' to 'HALB', But system prompt 'Material is a production resource/tool; not defined by new material type.' .
Is there any IMGs I need to setting? Please Help me ,How Solve it?
Thanks a lot.
Dana

Hello,
Stocks already exist in Perticular plants. However, these
plants
have different quantity/value updating, resulting in different
account determination.
Stocks already exist at plant level.
One more: FHMI Material type is having the View- production resource/tool,
These material types material are account assigned, without account assigned you should not create PO for these materials.
And ROH is does not have -" production resource/tool," this view...
It is not possible to allow you change the materail type. Check in OMS2.
IF you realy want to change then For temparary you should select the View for ROH in OMS2 and make as it is..(this is not recommended)

Difference betn Type & Like ?

Dear Friends,
like is used when you want to refer table fields
data v_matnr like mara-matnr
Type is used to define variable with system defined data types
data v_matnr(10) type c.
But my question is .
what will happen or what diff we can find when
data: v_matnr type mara-matnr is used than
data: v_matnr like mara-matnr ?
and what diff we can find when
data table1 like mara occurs 0 with header line.
and
data table1 type mara occurs 0 with header line ?
Thanx in advance

For all practical purposes there are the same. The only additional advantage with types is that you can define your own types(including complex ones) in the data dictionary and reuse them accross various programs.
But within a program if two variables are defined one using LIKE and another using TYPE, both referring to the same field, then there is no difference.
If I include a type pool within a program, then I can define my variables only using TYPE to refer to any type defined in that pool. I cannot use LIKE in this scenario. Also, if I want to use native types like C, N, etc, I cannot use LIKE there either. I can use LIKE ABC only if ABC is in the database or if ABC is defined previously in the same program.
I can use TYPE ABC, if ABC is defined in database as a TYPE and included in the program with the statement TYPE-POOLS. I can use it, if it is the native types. I can use it, if it is already defined in the dictionary as a structure/table or structure/table field, or even if it is defined as a data element or a domain. So I can declare a variable V_BUKRS TYPE BUKRS, but I cannot define a variable V_BUKRS LIKE BUKRS.
But if I intend to use V_BUKRS to store company code, I will prefer to declare it as V_BUKRS LIKE T001-BUKRS, only because if tomorrow for some reason, the definition of T001-BUKRS changes to a data element for example, BUKRS_N(say DEC 4) instead of the data element BUKRS(CHAR 4) that it refers to now, I don't have to change my programs because I am referring to the table field and inhereting its properties. Whereas, had I declared my V_BUKRS TYPE BUKRS and the table now changed to BUKRS_N, I will be forced to change my program as there will be a type incompatability.

Functional Module or BAPI for changing Material Type

Hi,
There is a Transaction MMAM for changing the Material Type in SAP. Can anyone help me in figuring out a Functional Module which can change the Material Type like how MMAM transaction does. Is anyone aware of any FM or BAPI that can take import parameters as Material Number and New Material Type and change the material type to the New one.
I tried using the BDC but got some performance issues with it.
Thanks
Vinay

Could you please put some light on which part of the transaction MMAM is responsible in changing the Material type. I can understand that there may exist may checks in the Tx MMAM but I would like to know where is the material Type getting changed in the Tx MMAM. On going through the Tx MMAM I have across many forms and function modules but its difficult to track the form/Function Module responsible for changing the Material Type. Please help me in this.

Material type for stationary items

Hi,
We want to maintain stock of stationary items, and these items are procured externally.
Which material type and valuation class to be used for it?
Regards,

Use Non Stock Material TYpe..
As these are going to be petty Items
If you have considered as a non stock materila. then you can procure for consumption account..
This can be done through in Standard PO mention Account assignment category as K and given the G/L account and procure... so that while doing the GR it will hit the cost center account and also materila will not be valuated
or else make frame work order where u dont required to do the GR.... direct invoice verification
Examples on where this business process can be used include: Services: example buying flowers, travel. Perticular if the receipt process is not very formalised. It is also sometimes used for utilities (water, electricity...).
