MM SRV - Service Master - AC01 and MM01

Hi All,
Please help in these questions regarding External Service Master management we create in AC01.
1.   Is this Service Material is anyway related to MM01 material or they are two completely different materials?
2.   What is common between MM01 Material and AC01 Service Material ?
3.   Is Service Material is used in SRM ? If yes, all of them or only some of them ?
+ An

Hi,
1. Material(used for material being procured) master and service master(used for services being procured) are two different master details in SAP.
2. service master records to be used while procuring services with item category D, and service master numbers to be entered at service line item level. Same like materials, details like unit, description, service groups, valuation claas needs to be maintained while creation of service master.
4. standard reports are available in SAP to track the services procured based on the service master number.
3 yes. service master data can be used in SRm, all of them can be used.

Hi,
Here is step by step to implement an screen exit
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screens flow logic.
the tcode is cmod...
1.From the main screen of the Project management transaction, proceed as follows:
Select Enhancement components and choose Change.
2.Choose Edit component.
3.Choose the screen exit and double click on it
4.Create your subscreen using the Screen Painter.
5.Design your screen to be added to the standard screen and activate the particular screen and return back to the flow logic .
6.Choose the PAI and PBO to write down the logic.
7.Generate your screen and choose Back (the green arrow) to return to the Project management transaction.
8.Go to the transaction ME22 to view the customer defined screen exit.
9.Enter the purchase order number and press Enter.
10.Go to the menu header --> Details.
11.Purchase number is visible on the standard screen

Problem in service master (AC01)

Hi,
My client is using SAP 4.7 ECC. In the client system, unit of measure field set as mandatory field in Service master (T.Code- AC01). As per system setting, system should not allow to create a new service master via T.Code AC03 by keeping unit of field blank. However, occasionally system allows the user to create service master without entering any thing in the unit of measure field. Once the service is created with unit of measure field as blank, system not allow the user to enter into edit mode of service master (T.Code AC02). System give massage Please maintain unit of measure.
Can any one so kind to help me for resoling this issue.
Your assistance will be highly appreciated.
Regds,
sp sahu

Hi,
If unit of measure field set as mandatory field in Service master how system will allow you save service master without entry of unit of measure? Just check the following path:
SPRO->MM->External Service Management->Service Master->Field Display for service Master->Define Field Selection for Service Master (List Entry)
And check here base unit of measure is in position of Input or Required, Display or Hide Or highlighted

MM SRV - Service Master - Hierarchy Service Number

Hi All,
Please help in these questions regarding Hierarchy Service Number for External Service Master management we create in AC01. we can enter the other service master in this field and this creates the hierarchy of the Service.
1.    How Hierarchy Service Number works?
2.    Upto how many levels of this hierarchy goes?
3.    Does the IDoc type SRVMAS contains this information ?
+ An

yes Manish, need to maintain this information in a external system and send it to ECC.
This will be 2 way communication.
Hence need to extract this hierarchy as well need to understand that how its maintained.

Service Master Prices and Vendors not replicated

Hi All,
We have SRM4.0 and a strange problem wherein we are not able to get the prices per vendor maintained in the Service Master in R/3 replicated in SRM although the Service No, Description,Long Text,UOM,Product category details are getting replicated properly.
Service Masters in R/3 are maintained in AC02,AC03 transactions and the prices and vendors for service masters in ML35,ML39 etc. After replicating the service master initial load object SERVICE_MASTER in R3AS transaction in SRM only the basic details gets replicated and the info records like the vendor and prices for the services. Is there any specific setting needs to be done for maintaining the same as we have the condition types aligned with R/3 and IPC is up and running as well.
Do let me know incase someone can shed some light on the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Anirban

Hi Harshal,
we had similar issue in past.The problem for us was Creation date .We were trying to create a contract with past date. For this there is a setting in ECC which Depending upon the date.(You might have referred already,Any way bringing here to notice ).
As the customizing has been set with a valid from date.Everything before that will be created with a PA segment assignment (first line). So if possible, put the date in present.

Field 'material' in service master data and material requisition

Hello, all!
Could anybody say, what is the purpose of field 'material' in service master data ('other' tab) and why system after setting the object type in that tab to 1 'material' will never show service in search help?
This first question comes from the second problem: I thought that I can make a service group, containing materials and services (like routings in PP), so system will be able to make material requisition for a case in automatical manner.
But now I'm confused. It looks like material requisition can only be made manually throught NMM7.
Is there any abilities to make requisition in automatical manner?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Pavel,
ad1) we support the creating of services based on material consumptions via service rules. Users are able to activate services rules which generate services based on the material consumption per case. But we need two entities material and services. Service rules are running automatically and no further manual work is necessary.
You will find the Service rules via IMG -> Patient Billing -> Service Rules. Service Rule R24 is the relevant service rule to generate services based on matierial consumption.
ad2) The field object type is not been used in Patient Management. It is only used by our clinical partner solution i.s.h.med. I understand that this field is confusing and not very well documented. In Patient Management we use the service master only for "services". i.s.h.med uses the field "material" and "personel" (e.g. physicians time). But it has no relevance for Patient Management.
Best regards, Robert

MM-SRV: Adopt Material Group from Service Master instead of default in SPRO

At my current client we are encountering a problem when creating requisitions for services. When the system was originally configured years ago, a default value for material group was entered in the IMG under:
Logistics > Materials Management > External Services Management > Source Determination and Default Values > For Client
Field is "Default material group at item level" (V_T165-MATKL)
Up to now this singular default value was fine because they only had one material group for services. They are now wanting to further stratify their services spend, so there are now several additional values for Material Group that can (and are) used among their service master records. Having a single default value for Material Group is resulting in incorrect reporting of spend per Material Group.
I removed the default value in the config node stated above, but now the problem is that when creating a requisition line for services (item category D) in ME51N, no value for Material Group comes in at all, resulting in an error because Material Group is a mandatory field. Making the field optional on the Field Selection Groups is not a valid solution, as they need Material Group for spend reporting.
What we really need is for the Material Group to be automatically copied over from the service master data, in the same manner that this takes place for the material group contained in a material master.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Hi,
1) If service master is used in the PO item, then the system will take the
material group from the service master (AC01).
2) If no service master is maintained then the system will take the
material group from the table T023. To be able to change this material group on services level - if you want a different material group on services level, you must set the field ESLL-MATKL for visible in the table control settings, and the change of the service group must be carried out manually.
Please be advised that it is the standard behaviour that the material
group on service level is not updated automatically after you have
changed the material group on purchasing level. The material group on
service level must be adjusted manually.
3) By default for service lines the system will consider the material
group which is entered at the Item level.
Services can have different material groups, therefore you can change
the material group at service level. The material group in service line
can be different and always takes higher priority from the material
group at the item level.

Service Master and Material Master relation

Hi Friends,
Our client requirement is to procure and sale same services.
and client wants to post the services to different G/L accounts for ex: if I am raising a sale order or Purchase order,
then for each different service line item to be posted to different G/L accounts.
Initially I thought of creating the service master with different valuation classes but when the same thing comes to sales then with service master they cannot create the sale order.
Hence kindly advice in this case whether to go with the service master creation and create the PO's with the service masters
or   go with the creation of material master with the services material type with different valuation classes?
Thanks in Advance.
regards,
Sasi Kanth J

Hi,
For services the concerned entries have to be maintained in table T030.
The system will then suggest the G/L accounts as per the valuation class
maintained in table T030 (Standard Accounts Table, transaction OBYC).
The system will determine the
G/L account depending on the following criteria:
T001K-BWMOD
BKLAS
T001-KTOPL
T163K-KOMOK
Services level is one level below materials, which results in
some inherent restrictions compared to materials. In case of
services the values have to be maintained in the table T030.

Locking and Commiting - Service Master

Hello - I am developing a custom transaction that acts as a sort of control panel for Service Masters. It allows the user to create, change, copy, and display Service Masters as well as their Classifications.
The transaction uses a BDC to perform the basic Service Master updates and a BAPI to perform the Classification updates.
Unfortunately, I am finding that in one environment I am able to create new Service Masters (SMs) and their classifications and then display the new SM to the user in Change mode; however in another environment I am able to create the Service Master, but when I try to create the Classifications or display the new Service Master in Change mode - it is not showing the new SM, but one that was created previously.
To retrieve the new SM I am using a Select MAX b/c the Parameter ID always contains %_1 rather than the newly created SM #.
I am thinking there is a locking or commit issue in the second environment but am not sure. Any thoughts on how to resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated!
David Mullen

Rob - thanks for the information.
I failed to include my update mode of 'S' in the CTU_PARAMS call of the transaction. Now that I have incorporated this - it appears to have solved the issue, but I have only just tested the Create - I still need to check on Copy, Change, and Delete.
If the CTU_PARAMS addition doesn't solve it - I will try a commit work and wait 1 seconds.
I'm not sure of the DB - but if I hit a snag I'd appreciate being able to re-query you all and include that information - ?

Service Master Deletion

Hi all,
How do I completely remove service master records and standard service catalogs from the system? By marking it for deletion, it is still shown to user upon searching.
Thanks.

Hi,
After marking the record for deletion, you have to run archieve programme & then system removes the record from production database.
