New material type in SAP CRM

Hi SAP CRM Experts,
I would like to create a new material type in CRM .
Would it be necessary to create a new material type in CRM or can create in SAP ERP and replicate to CRM or in need to create in both systems? What are the steps to be followed ?
Please advice me.
Cheers
Sreedhar

You can create it just on ERP side and replicate it to CRM system. To do the replication, go to transaction R3AS an run object DNL_CUST_PROD1. This download has to be performed before the material download.
A delta download is not available so this replication must be repeated everytime data is changed in ERP. You can monitor the progress of download in R3AM1.
Regards.

How to retrieve date from a set type in SAP CRM in BRF+ application

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know how can I retrieve date from a set type in SAP CRM to BRF+.
I need to process the data in BRF+ and then send it back to CRM. Thanks.
Regards
Yogesh

Hi Manish,
From my experience, you cannot change an existing attribute of a set type (esp. when it has a dependency).
You need to delete the attribute, save the changes and then re-create the attribute with new value table.
Also remove any dependencies before deleting the attribute.

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.

Field Ref. and SRef,mat type when creating new material types

Hi,
While creating new material type we are giving the Filed ref. on that basis sytem find which fields are option mand. etc. below the filed ref. there is also SRef for material type , why this fileld is use ? if this is screen sequence ref. then what is use of industry sector when creating material bcoz industry sector also determines the scrren ref. then which will follow when we creat the material.
regards,
zafar

Hi,
SRef is the Screen reference .
You have to create the Sref then it should assign depending on the transaction.
Grouping of transactions that determines what screens are displayed depending on the transaction when you maintain material master records. It also determines the order in which the screens appear.
The screen reference Transaction is in table T130M.
In material master the first reference is industry sector,then specific to the industry sector what is the material type & screen sequence.

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.

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.
