Product  Hierarchy Levels in the material Master.

Plz let me know the Levels to which product hierarchy can be maintained for a Finished good in its Material Master.
What I know it is 9 and is limited to 18 characters.
The T- code for it is v/76, and is maintained thru it, but while I am trying to maintain 4th level it is automatically taking 3rd Level. please point out the mistake which i must be doing.

Hi
As per standard SAP allowed up to 3 steps only
Here i am furnishing small example
1 step allowed 5 digits - 00001-  Electronics
2  Step allowed 5 digits-  00001 - Home Appliances  
3 step allowed 8 digits- 00000001- Steam iron
The above hierarchy can be assigned in material master as 000010000100000001

  • OCM for Revesion level in the Material Master and for the BOM

    Hello,
    I use My SAP 6.
    I have implemented OCM. It's used for 2 things:
    - The first is for revision level in the Material Master.
    - the second is for the BOM.
    Today, the customizing is good, it's work.
    My need is to have the same change number for those 2 evolutions:  for the material master evolution and for the BOM evolution.
    It's possible, and how?
    Thanks for your answers.

    I do not think this is possible. Service level is usually used for safety stock planning.

  • Service Level in the Material Master

    Hi -
    Can the service level field in the material master MRP view be used to drive additional demand independant of safety stock?  Meaning, is there any way I can enter a service level and have it increase demand even if I am not using it to calculate safety stock?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Plant specific fields in the material master for product move

    Hi, SAP gurus,
    My scenario is we are moving a existing product in US plant to Brazil plant. What are the fields in the material master that are specific to a plant that will change. For ex MRP controller will change from plant to plant. Like that can anybody please provide me a list of fields that i need to be looking at?
    Thank you
    Anusha

    Hi Anusha,
    First of all, list down all your materials those you want to extend to new plant.
    a) Secondly, pay attention to those fields you will find "filled" in those materials at plant level.
    b) MARC comes handy for you to analyse which fields are at plant level.
    Intersection of fields with values between a and b are the ones you need to work out.
    Good luck,
    Regards

  • Revoke the material master data's updated in production

    Hi Experts,
    I have updated the product hierarchy field for the list of materials using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
    I have forget to set the SALES_VIEW flag in BAPIMATHEAD table, instead it created all the views for the material. Is there any way to revoke the material master data.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Screen Level Security for the Material Master

    We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
    Thanks!

    Janet,
    It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed.  You really should consult your local authorization expert.
    The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA.  It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system.  You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
    You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object.  You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
    Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
    M_MATE_STA
    Definition
    Maintenance status authorization for material master records
    The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
    This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                    Note                                                                      
    To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
    Defined Fields
    Fields               Possible values      Meaning
    ACTVT                01                   User may create data.
                         02                   User may change data.
                         03                   User may display data.
                         06                   User may flag data for deletion.                       
                         08                   User may display change documents. 
    STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.         
    The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
    User department                Maintenance status
    Work scheduling                   A
    Accounting                        B
    Classification                    C
    MRP                               D
    Purchasing                        E
    Production resources/tools        F
    Costing                           G
    Basic data                        K
    Storage                           L
    Forecasting                       P
    Quality management                Q
    Warehouse management              S
    Sales                             V
    Plant stocks                      X
    Storage location stocks           Z
    Notes
    This authorization object also determines:
    o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
    -   01 to create
    -   02 to change or delete
    -   03 to display
    The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
    o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

  • Organization Level screen on Material Master

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to use User Exit or BADI which runs Organization Level screen on Material Master.
    However, I don't know which one I should use...
    Could someone help me to tell me the User Exit or BADI that I'm searching for?
    Sally
    Edited by: Sally10 on Jan 21, 2011 8:21 AM

    This problem is caused by the program design.
    In the R/3 System the low-level code is only ever increased and never reduced when the product structure is changed.
    The low-level code is not reduced for reasons of performance and is thus greater than absolutely necessary. The larger low-level code does not disrupt the MRP however, that is, the material can be planned correctly.
    please read OSS  Note 494236 - Low-level code not reduced
    for more  detailed info

  • View's in the Material Master

    Hello,
    With regards to the material master data:
    (a) are there more views to a material that are  dependent on the plant except for: 'costing', 'Forecasting', 'MRP', 'Production Resources/Tools', 'Purchasing',' Quality Management' and 'Sales'?
    (b) why are they dependent at the plant?
    (c) why does the basic data depends on the plant?

    Hi Shadmi!
    Here is d answers,
    a) are there more views to a material that are dependent on the plant except for: 'costing', 'Forecasting', 'MRP', 'Production Resources/Tools', 'Purchasing',' Quality Management' and 'Sales'?
            --- Except Basic Data1 and Basic Data2 all other views are plant dependent.
    (b) why are they dependent at the plant?
            --- Because these datas may vary plant by plant. For example cost of material may change from plant to plant since it depends upon in which price the vendor is supplying to you.
    (c) Why does the basic data depends on the plant?
           --- Not at all. Basic data view is specific to company code level.

  • Revision level issue in Material Master maintenance

    Hi All,
    When I try to change the revision level for a certain change number in our production client in the material master I get the following error
    Priority of revision level E is too small
    I have checked in CC13. But I could not find anything relevant.
    There are a number of revision levels available in the dropdown list.If I select some of the last revision levels available in this dropdown list in the material master the system accepts it readily but if I select any of the earlier revision levels in the list the system throws the above error message.
    Please can someone tell me what is wrong here.

    Hello All.......any clues???
    Does this belong to MM?......if not where can I get answers?.....which forum can I refer?

  • Open field for cost center on the material master

    We have a unique requirement in a facility we intend to implement plant maintenance in to track a cost center to a material by including the cost center on the material master somewhere.  Cost center is not a field on any of the material tabs we use for maintenance materials, but the requirement is just that it is tracked in a field, even if it's just an open field like a "user defined field" or another field not used often.  We realize there are disadvantages such as the field not being checked against active cost centers, but we are looking at options short of adding cost center as a field manually to a tab (which I believe would require ABAP assistance).  I don't think there are any other fields/tabs we are currently not utilizing but I could be wrong... The best option we can think of is adding it in a material characteristic so it shows on the classifications tab, but I thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas.
    Thanks

    Not sure what is the need of cost center on material master when you want to implement Plant maintenance module. Do you have any specific requirement for this?
    Ideally cost center will be derived from either functional location/ equipment (equivalent of material master) on to PM work order or notification.
    Can you elaborate the requirement?
    After all if you wish to go with cost center, then I suggest it should be at plant level as PM requires plant level distribution. You can add up a custom field and give the reference of cost center data element with help of developer.

  • MRP TYPE for  Periodic planning in the material master.

    Dear gurus,
    i need planned the materials in the periodic modality, are there the type MRP in the material master for create the planned file ( table MDVM) one once a month or in the specific period chose ?
    Example :
    I need that the material master don't create a file planned ( MD20- TABLE MDVM) for a change of the requirement situation new , but i would like that the flag in the table ( MDVM) or file of the planning MRP created when the today date is in the period specific.

    Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
    Thanks a lot
    Dani

    Dani,
    Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
    However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.
