  • Relationship between material type and industry sector

    Hi experts
    when using t-code mm01,there are two fields material type and industry setor in screen.Is there any relationship between material type and industry sector? I want to know if user be able to see the material type related to particular industry sector?
    thanks in advance!

    Hello
    There is no direct relationship between the material type and the industry sector.
    The industry sector is used only for field sttus maintenance (fields in display/optional/requierd entry) in transactions.
    We will assign seperate field reference groups to industry sectors and deopending on how we configure the field references, the fields will appear for the materials created for that industry sector.

  • Difference between Material type and Item category

    What is the difference between Material type and Item category?
    We can differentiate different kind of materails according to material type then why do we have Item category which is also more or less on the same lines.
    Both can be considered as a terminology in SAP to group similar kind of materials.
    Please let me know the exact difference between the two?

    Dear Christino
    We can list out so many differences.
    When you create a material master record, the material type you choose determines:
    - Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
    - Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
    - The number range from which the material number is taken
    - Which screens appear and in what sequence
    - Which departmental data you may enter
    - What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
    Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
    - Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
    - Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
    In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
    -Most importantly, Users can be authorized to create materials of specific material types but not based on item category
    - Item category will define whether the material should be valuated for stock or it should be considered as non-stock
    - Pricing is carried out based on Item Category and not based on Material type

  • 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.

  • Link material type and item category.

    Hi,
    Can you brief me on how following setting in SPRO works?
    Plant maintenance - Maintenance and service processing - Maintenance and service order - General data - Define default values for componenet item category
    When i checked, this setting is to link item category with the material type and item category is defined based on the material type and maintenance plant. But what is the relation in term of the order type i.e. whenever i create any order with a specifica order type, the default item category should get reflected on the componenets tab of the order?
    Is it possible?
    Can you guide me how to do this setting.
    Thansks

    Hi,
    Yes it is posible to make all order types item category mark as stcok item "L" as default value. Very well u can set it at following menu path under PM&CS Node
    Maintenance and Service Orders
    Functions and Settings for Order Types
    General Data
    Define Default Values for Component Item Categories

    Changing of valuation class is other

    The basic requiremnt will be that client want to change the G/L code attached to the valuation class.
    If you have already done some transaction it is not fininacialy right to move valuation classes.
    Tell in detail what is the requiremnt.

    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.

  • Material type and account assignment group relation

    Hi,
    Getting an error while creating material master save. Account assignment Zx can't be with Material Type Zxxxx.
    Please advise where is the link maintained between material account assignment group and material type.
    My material is Z service material.
    As I no for plant,industry, material type valuation class quanity update tick required but that is for stockable materials which is not the case above.
    Thanks

    HI,
    You can make the field Account Assignment Group of Material Master as inactive.
    But it depends up on Plant, Industry Sector Type and Material Type.
    You can do this in IMG --> Logistic General --> Material Master --> Field Selection
    Or
    use SHD0.. give T-code MM01. and you can deactivate the field.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Authorization for material type and material views

    Hello all,
    I would need to restrict a user group, in creation (MM01) and modification of material master, based of type material and material views.
    The authorization, for each user should be:
    - view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER;
    - view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF.
    I tried to create 2 roles in PFCG with the following authorization objects:
    1) M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types)  ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B)
    2) ) M_MATE_MAR  ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = B
    but the effect is to be authorized, to all view for material type ZFER and ZOFF.
    I have already updated the authorization group of the type materials (OMS2).
    Is there a solution for this problem?
    (component version SAP ECC 6.0)
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Luca

    I tried to create 2 roles in PFCG with the following authorization objects: 1) M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B) 2) ) M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = B
    - Are both these roles assigned to the same user? then your purpose is not solved, It is more or less like giving full authorization.
    - One role should be
    M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZFER and M_MATE_STA (Maintenance Statuses) ACTVT = *, STATM = A,C, D, E, F, G,K, L, P, Q, S, V, X, Z (excluding B) for view, modify and create of all views, except accounting (B) for type material ZFER. This should be assigned to one user
    - Second role should be
    M_MATE_MAR ACTVT = *, BEGRU = ZOFF and M_MATE_STA ACTVT = *, STATM = * for view, modify and create of all views for type material ZOFF. This role should be assigned to the second user.

  • Compare 2 material types and decide whether they can be merged together

    Hi,
    I have a scenario  below :
    Say we have five material types say MAT1.... MAT5.
    Now I want to merge all the materials from MAT2 ...MAT5
    in to MAT1.
    So how do we do comparison for config differences?
    What are the parameters that we need to take into consideration for mergigng those material types.
    For exmaple say
    No of views,
    Screen flow etc., etc.,
    Thanks,
    krishan.

    Hi,
    It is very simple..
    You just post transfer posting 309 movement type - material to material.
    you don't need to do any specific setting in system.
    Sysytem automatically reduce the stock of Mat1 and increase the stock of MAt2.
    Material type is not at all matters..
    try and let me know...
    Thanks,

  • Material Type and Negative Stock Problem

    Dear All SAP Experts,
    Please provide suitable solution for the following business scenario to avoid negative stock continuously and which material type should we select for the material mentioned below:
    GAS Supplying Company (Main Source)
    Client - GAS Trading Company
    Material – GAS supply through Pipe Lines
    Purchases - GAS from main source treated, received as single material for purchase point of view
    Trading Good – GAS supply to different type of customers, different purposes, different rates, different segments and different billing cycles for sales point of view
    Consumption – 1.Based on meter reading at Main Source point for purchase quantity on daily basis.
    2.Based on meter reading at different customer locations, different purposes, different segments, different rates, different meter reading cutoff cycles and different billing cycles.
    Main source company raise invoice with different rates on client fortnightly based on the consumption for different type of customers, different purposes in different segments. i.e. for domestic purposes one rate, industrial purposes another rate etc.
    How to provide reading figures fortnightly to main source company, how to check consumption and if at all any negative stock in MM how to avoid negative stock in SAP?

    As the scenario is describes material should be Pipeline material....and further for this material type....
    Genrally for price of pipeline material :You determine the price of a pipeline material from a vendor in a pipeline info record. You can only post pipeline movements after you have created the pipeline info record.
    So for different vendor different prices will come into picture....
    I dont think pipeline material will have negitive stock....

  • Material Types and quantities in APO

    Hi,
    Please let me know whether we have the option  to find material types in APO  and how to find the base quantities for manufacture each material in APO as per the BOM in ECC.
    Prash

    Prash,
    The standard integration model by default will not move Material Type to SCM.  This is typically not required in a normal planning scenario.
    SCM supplies several freely definable fields in the Product Master and in the Location Product master tables.  If you have a material specific field that you wish to have maintained automatically in SCM in the product master by the core interface, there is a specific userexit available for this purpose.CIFMAT01 on the R/3 side.
    BOM information can be found in the PPMs. /SAPAPO/SCC03
