Procuring KITS but different material master records

Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement
There are 15 different mateirals which are maintained in Material master seperately with different numbers but all will have to be procured from one vendor same time and issue is each material is consumed on the production order and have different safety stock levels and cannot be purchased independently as vendor also sells them in one KIT/BOX which has all these 15 parts?
how can anyone will know when ordering these parts need to be on same PO? and need to do GR and Transfer order and pick TO and GI done in one transaction rather than 15 times?
Thanks and Appreciates everyone time and help.
Regards,
Siva Darbha

Hi,
This can be put in SD fourms and get prompt help.

Material Master Record - How to remove or delete storage location

Dear all,
Is there a way to remove or delete a storage location accidentally extended via MM01 due to extending the general plant view?
I've tried the following:
1. I've used MM06 to flag the particular storage lcoation for deletion. However, when go to MM02 and select the plant view, the storage location that already been flag still exist for selection. I only get the warning prompt "The storage location has been flag for deletion".
2. I tried MMSC attempt to delete and I get either messages with different material master record:
a) "Material not fully maintained for this transaction/event"
OR
b) "Storage location 60BF already exists and cannot be deleted"
P/S: If this question has been asked before by others, please point me to that thread.
I'm grateful for any suggestion. Thanks.

Hi Jurgen,
I've gone through the data archiving project in the past. I was actually hoping I don't have to go through this big exercise for this minor situation.
The storage locations in the SAP system are fine. The problem is that when I came in to this organization, I found out that the procurement users have accidentally extended material master record to those storage location irrelevant to them. Those users don't post any stock to those accidentally extended storage location. They admit that it was a mistake. So, I don't really have to do stock movement or GI out from those affected storage location because there's nothing in them.
Now that I've initially flag for deletion (MM06) of those mistakes done by those procurement users over the few years counting to 2000+ material master records affected. But the standard behavior of the SAP system allows change to proceed in MM02 except for that warning message MM081. So, I was actually asking around to explore if there's actually an option to make it an error prompt instead and stop the whole change process at MM02 transaction level.
If I may re-confirm, what I've done so far via flaging for deletion of material master record at storage location level - is this the only correct solution available?
Hope this clarifies my intention of opening this thread. Sometimes, users are quite tough in accepting the results from standard SAP system behavior.
Thanks for the time in explaining.

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.

How to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record?

Hi guys,
Pls help me 2 flowing problem:
1. How to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record? And all case need to enter a material on SO without a Material Master Record.
2. How to use customer material number if there isn't Master Data
Thanks

Hi Friend,
I dont think we can go with a sales order with a material without material master record.
But there are some cases where in we can create a sales order by entering a material which does not have a material master.
1. Through material determination
You can create a material determination for a material (1234) which exists in sap by a material(XYZ) which does not; For example in VB11 you can create a material determination for a material 1234 ( exists in sap) through a material XYZ which does not exists in sap.
While creating the sales order when you enter the material XYZ is not give any error and automatically determine the material 1234 which exists.
2. Text material
We can create a order/quote by directly entering a text in the material description and without entering the material. This the case for text material wherein text item category will be determined.
Please let me know if this help you. Else kindly elaborate the scenario.

Mass update of huge list of Material master records

Hi dudes,
I want to update 1 field for the huge list of material master record, i.e., statistics field in sales org 2 tab.
please help
regards,
madhav

SAP has designed its system to use the standard transaction way to update any fields, no direct table update should be made.
I have seen so many direct table updates in my career, and what do you think why I have get knowledge about that?
Because it was done incorrectly.
There are that many dependcies in SAP, you never really know them all.
People changed (or deleted entries) in one table, but forgot the update in a second dependend table.
You should be a very experience consultant before you may consider direct table updates, and when you became an experience consultant, then you know that you will not do that.

Re: Populating Additional data in Material master record

Hi,
I am creating material master record using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA. I am using the below function modules to populate date in Additional Data Tab. I am getting the existing material details from BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL and passing it to
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA variables. I can create material successfully, but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Program populates this data for some materials and for some materials not. For example, when I try to create a new material by copying existing details from 1234 , New material will be created   with 12345(say), but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Now If I put a break point, to find out what could be the issue , and then press f6 , and re-execute program for the same material 1234, then my custom program can populates data. I know its sound wiered, but I am not able to solve the issue.

Any suggestions ...

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your reply. It worked. But now I am facing strange issue. As you see my code above, i am using VBWS_UOM_MAINTAIN_DARK to update Addition data tab. however, the values of internaltable gt_meinh_ws_upd was not updated correctly inside the material master.
For example, I am filling gt_meinh_ws_upd table with the below values
gt_meinh_ws_upd-wsm = 'OZT'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atnam ' ZABCDE'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023
append gt_meinh_ws_upd.
but when i see in material master,   gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023 is updated with 23, instead of 0.023. I debugged th func. module many times, I didnot come acroos the code what making it to 23.
Any Idea karthik...
Thanks in Advance

Product hierarchy in the material master record

Hi,
I am handig Data migration project.
This is related to Product Hirerarchy.
I one business Product Hirerarchy have been configured. But in another buisiness, Product Hirerarchy has not been configured.
There are some common materials using by both business processes.
For coomon mateials if I am maintaining Product Hirerarchy value in the material master record, is there any impact on business which is not being used Product Hirerarchy. Whether it will stop / impact on business processes.
Can you explain plz
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi karthink,
Thanks for your inputs.
we are meging two servers. In that in one server, product highrechy have been configuredand in another server not configured.
There are some materials with the numbers calling as a common parts exists in both servers.
ex: plat 0001 in one server 1 & plant 0002 in server2
Common part is : m1
plant 0001 not using product hierarchy and plant 0002 not using product hierarchy,.
After golive, all the common parts are being used by both plants and same basic data 1 view.
If we are maintaing product hierarchy in the basic data 1 view, it will flow into sales view as well.
Then what about impact on the plant 0001 business since it is not using product hierarchy.
In the configuration, is there any settings to activate / deactive product hierarchy at sales area level.
Is there any impact on MM / FICO side.
Please explain.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Creating material without material master record

Hai,
Can u pls help to solve this scenario.
client is having MTO type Business Process.
They have to create a material which doesnt have material master record in quotation.(So we Can have text material).
But for that material we neeed to do costing , so i have activated EK02 in QT doct type.
So costiong is possible for normal material.
But for text material error comes as like.
*_Specify at least 1 unit__Message no. BM018*_
_Diagnosis_
No unit was included. Conversion or determination of conversion factors is therefore not possible.

Here there are 2 Options: can be follow,-
- 1:
Client has to create one dummy material & do the costing for this material, Once Client receives the Purchase Order from the Customer, then create Order with ref to the same quotation & Change the Dummy Material to the New Material-FG product.
would be the better option,
02:
we too have same scenario, But we have told the Client, before Preparing Quotation, create FG material & do the Costing. In our case, Client is preparing Costing sheet based on Order i.e Product Cost by Order.
Becoz without FG , user cant have BoM for the same.
It is regular field requirement.

Material without material master record

Dear All,
i want material without material master record by using account assignment category k. how can i do that. item category should be standard. i will use another material group with a different valuation class.
regards,
qsm sap

Hi,
In ME21N, In case of w/o material master purchases (Text Purchases), do not enter material code in PO, Enter following details;
Account Assignment Category (For e.g. K - Cost Center),
Item Category - Blank
Short Text,
Quantity,
UoM,
Material Group,
Plant,
Gross Price, etc...
Then Save it.
2. MIGO - GR w.r.t. PO
It will Debit Expense A/c and Credit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
3. MIRO - LIV w.r.t. PO
It will Credit Vendor A/c and Debit GR/IR Clearing A/c.
And if you want account determination on the basis of material group then do following config.
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material master > Entry Aids for Items without an material master > here assign different valuation classes to different material groups as per your Accounting requirement.
And then do necessary account determination in OBYC for the Valuation classes, T/E Key "GBB" and Val. modifier "VBR"
Also refer the following link;

Material master record: Brands

Hi
There is a field in the material master record where we can fill it with the brand of the material?
There is a field specifically for this information? Maybe we can use Prod./insp.memo in basica data2 view.
Thanks for the help
Regards
Enzo

Thanks for your answer. We are already using Ext. Material Group. The idea is use a field that is only informative and will not have impact in the future operations. Maybe using a field with configuration values brings problems in the future.
What are the information fields are used in this cases?
Define a new Characteristic and Class and assign the class under classification view is another alternative and very prolix but we have to update 50.000 materiales and we dont have the tool to do this activity.
Thanks again.

How to load AFS Material Master records.

Hello everyone,
I am new to loading AFS Material Master records. In the past I have simply used the Material Master direct input programs, or batch input, to load the data. Because of the extra AFS fields, I was guessing there must be a new direct input program, or batch input, for it. Maybe there is a IDOC that must be used?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you all.

Hey there again, I just wanted to bring this subject back up again.
I always took it for granted the we loaded materials in batches. We would load basic data for some materials and then extend the plant data, then sales, storloc data, warehouse data. That is a total of 5 files one after the other. I never really thought of why we did this, but now that I think about it maybe we did because it only took a little bit of data to create the basic data. When you extend the plant data, you do not need to enter in the data already created from the initial basic data load. Sales data only required so much so you could skip all the unnecessary basic and plant data.
Is that why you loaded in batches, because it is easier to extend?
If you wanted to you could have all the basic, plant, sales, purchasing data on one record if you really wanted to. Why didnu2019t you do it that way?
Thanks for the input.

Insert drawing ind te material master record

Hi Gurus,
I would like to add a drawing in the material master record. Do you know which configuration I have to do?
Regards,
MNA

Hi,
You can create/manage your documents in transaction code CV01N / CV02N
Assigning Documents to a Material Master Record .
Access a material master record in Create or Change mode, and select Basic Data.
To create links to documents, choose Additional data -> Document data.
The Link to Documents dialog box appears.
Assign one or more documents to the material.
If you do not know what the document number is, you can search for it using the search help or by choosing Find document.
When assigning a document to a material, you have the following options:
1. Viewing the document by choosing it in the Link to Documents dialog box.
2. Viewing any originals of the document by positioning the cursor on the document and
choosing Display originals in the Link to Documents dialog box.
To return to the Basic Data screen, choose Continue.
Save your data.
Note:
SAP has recommended SAP DMS - Document Management System.SAP DMS are for storing documents such as CAD drawings, Materials pictures etc.With the document management system, users will be able to view the documents with ease within their SAP systems but need to Install the SAP DMS.
