MM and PP Material master
Hi Friends
I am from SD side, and want to know difference in MM and PP Material Master, if there is any?
Regards
Vishal
Hi,
there is nothing like MM and PP Master. it is a one whole material master and different views maintained that of MM, FI, PP, SD, QM etc...
MRP details will be maintained by PP / MM consultant.
Theres is no major differences when you restrict urself to only material master.
thanks & regards,
Kiran

On Technical side : Challanges run from infrastructure (Server/Connectivity) Inadequate , Networking not Ok ,Landscapr design not ok and so on
Change management : User awareness and participatation is a key issue.Managing the fears and resistance to change is another challange
Project Management : some of the issues -Project governance not happening ,Change management not satyisfactory , scope creep . KPI not monitored.
Master Data : Too many files , Redunanat data , no ownership of Data , Technical and functional validation ownership
Training : Language ,Understanding of the users ,Content
Material Master Data challanges :
1.Selection and finalisation of the views
2.Responsibilty matrix for each view.
3.Field mapping into Must have ,desirabale ,nice to have fields
4 Techinical validation of the data
5 Functional validation of the data

Locking and locking material master fields
Hi Experts
I have a scenario where we need to lock material master field to be locked once data is maintained in the field so that its not editable for the users to change by the users, later the change should be possible for the field through an interface.
Any inputs on how to achieve this.
Thanks
VickeyIm not sure how to get a direct solution for your scenario, but maybe you can use Authorization group to control who can access to this material instead?
Just a thought. -
Copy of Material Master charac. values to the batch classif. in GR for PO
Dear gurus,
Could you please help me with the following issue. I have a material managed in batches, and it has a classification type 023 in material master. I fill one chaacteristic of this classification with some value. Now I want this value to be copied to the batch classification during the creation of new batch while making GR to production order.
Is it possible?Hi Nikolaj,
What I am understand your requirement is like,
You want to fetch the value of Characteristic maintain in Batch class in Material master to the Batches, correct?
But my Friend if you maintain value of characteristic in Batch Class in material master then it will works as a validation.
For Example,
Suppose your Characteristic is Colour and in Material Master Batch classification view you have maintain value as Red.Then system will not allow you any other colour in Batches.You will find that value in Drop Down list.

Hi ,
I am using Direct input program to update and change material master by using program RMDATIND.I have to update MRP,Purchasing,Storage,work scheduling,QM views and changing sales,plant views.I didnt find the fields belongs to QM view in the standard structures of Directinpt. Remaining all fields from all the views are mapped. Can any body suggest the way , so that i can include the QM view fields . They are ART(Inspection type), MPDAV(AVg.Inspection duration), QATV (Inspection set up)....
Regards,
Rajesh.Hi Rajesh,
I think its better for you if u go with Recording method for ur requirement. Because, I presume that standard programming is not handling it. Even, BAPI method also is not handling the Inspection type and duration.
Note:
Please don't forget to Reward points if the solution is helpful -
Restrict material groups at PR/PO creation for items w/o material master
Dear SAP experts
I have one question related to restricting material groups which are possible for selection during purchase requisition or purchase order creation.
The material group is created and several material master records are linked to it. Now the requirement is that when users are creating either purchase requisitions or purchase orders it shouldn't be possible to select that specific material group>
But this should be valid only if PR or PO are being created for items without material master record. If PR/PO is created for item with material master record then the restriction should not take place.
What would be the nicest solution to achieve that?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
Regards,
MihaHello Prakash
Thank you very much for your answer. i think it is a very good starting point.
However I am not too familiar with authorization group configuration of material groups.
Right now in our system (transaction OMSF) field authorization group is empty for all existing material groups.
Does this mean that for the material group that I want to have restricted I need to have two entries: one with Authorization group ZOK and another with ZNOTOK (or whatever the naming would be)?
Furthermore I would like to ask you where is then the link between authorization group and user exit?
And thirdly: do you perhaps have some more details which user exit(s) are relevant for our topic?
So far thank you very much and I hope that you can provide me also with additional info.

Most use ful t code for Material Master changing
Dear All,
Can any one give me most useful T-codes for create, change and display material master.
I have one T-code which is very useful for material master it is "MM50". With help of this tcode you can see material extend detail and also you can delete mass material with help of this tcode.
So please use it and also give me other this type of tcodes.
Regards,
Mahesh WaghHi,
MM17, LSMW, MM50 --- These are the 3 main transactions which is used frequently to Mass change the Material master.
There is one more option is there using BDC Upload.
Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.
The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.
Transaction -- SHDB will be used to record the change material master. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.
For a BDC upload you need to write a program which created BDC sessions.
hope you got it. Take a help of ABAPer for this BDC Upload.

RollOut: Data migration phase - material master
Dear all,
we are going to implement the SAP in one of our subsidiaries. The phase data migration of the material master is not that clear because I am not very experienced in such a project.
Can anybody consult me concerning my intentions?
I would like to subdivide the prozess data migration in the following separate steps:
1. Analysis of the structure and the material master fields of the legacy system
First I would require an example structure of the legacy system to get a first overview. This structure should be an excel sheet. Then I would discuss this structure with the staff of our subsidiary.
2. Structure of our SAP system
The structure of the SAP and all the necessary fields of the material master will be discussed with the staff of the subsidiary.
3. Comparing of both structures
Compare both structures and define which fields are missing and which fields have to be added
4. Preparation of the migration tool (LSMW)
I would be very grateful to get a reply or critic are recommendations.
Did I forget anything?
Thank you very much
ConanI think you basically got what needs to be done.
I usually let the module teams deliver the SAP fields that are necessary for their process.
For the source data I contact the team that deals with the legacy system.
Then we map fields and find the source fields that have to target, as well as mandatory target fields that have no source data.
And I request this usually per material type, as each material type may have different requirements.
Start with the process as early as possible, best with project begin already.
I am currently doing a huge migration project (merging of several SAP systems) , started last December, and I still miss a lot of mappings.
I made the exerience that I get mapping for the well kown entries of a field, however, there are many records that have different values, maybe values that should not be used anymore in the legacy system, but old records never go adjusted, hence I have them as error when loading. -

Material Master Update from group routing.
Dear All,
When we make material routing. in CA02>scheduling>Results--->Update material master (marking). can be done for the lead time scheduling Purpose. and update in CA96.
But when we use Group Routing, and assign multiple materials in routing header, and then go for
CA02>scheduling>Results--->** (no Material Master Update tab Appeared)
Do we have a solution for this?
Thanks & regards
RaghuDear,
Follow these steps,
Scheduling in routing (CA02 ) as :
Call up the operation overview for the routing.
Choose Extras-- Scheduling -- Schedule.
You reach the Scheduling dialog box.
Maintain the data on the dialog box. The system proposes Backward scheduling for the scheduling type.
Choose Continue.
You reach the Enter overview variant dialog box 00000001.
Enter the overview variant you want to use to display the scheduling results. Choose Continue.
The routing is scheduled. You reach the Schedule Overview screen containing the scheduling data.
After the scheduling run has been carried out, click on scheduling Result-- update material master
You use this function to update material master. Go to the CA96 and update material master.
Please try and come back.
