QM: Inspection Setup in the Material Master

Hi all!
A quick novice user query: In SAP ERP Quality Management, I was creating an inspection lot for a material and it prompted me to first add an inspection type for it. I went to the Inspection Setup in the Material Master, entered the material, the plant, check activate inspection, selected an inspection type and hit execute. But it keeps giving me "No entries found". Any help?
Thanks a bunch in advance!
Regards,
Bilal

Your query does not provide complete info as to what type of inspection origin you're trying.
Anyway as a thumb rule ensure that the setup in material master exists, i.e. the relevant inspection origin type. Ensure the tickbox for active exists. Also the corresponding data such as inspection plan / material characteristic etc. exists along with the required setup.
Once the above is in place you can proceed with the QM flow. In addition to this I would also suggest do a search in QM forums to know more about how to maintain the data, what needs to exist etc. Also go thru' SAP help.

Default inspection Type In the Material Master

Hello
We have to assign two -three inspection types in the material master. How to default this inspection types in the material master always .
Thanks
JJ

Dear JJ
This you will have to do by putting validation in the material master. I dont think you have a standard solution for that.
Or esle you can run QA08 wherein you can assign inspection type enmass.
Please let meknow your feedback

Usage of 'Average Inspection Duration' in the Material Master QM view?

Hi,
facing user requirements that you should be able to consider the QM stock in the ATP calculations in a special way, I want to have some feedback re the usage of this Material Master field. The user actually would like to have the parts available in the Sales Order scheduling line after a specific number of days, when having run the ATP job. The ATP Config is set to include QM stock in the run (and they do not want to change that), so presently the system promise deliveries in the SO, but it can not be done! Nice solution should have been the for instance set a delivery after the planned number of days for inspection as set in the MM QM view! The only usage I have seen so far of this field is that the planend insp date range is visibale alike in tr code QA32, but that is more admin info, not causing hands-on effects.
So two questions:
What hands-on effect does this MM QM field entry have in R/3?
Any suggestion how to solve this user wish re ATP logic??
Best regards / Roland

Inspection type's maintained in the material master

Hello,
I want to know the transaction code using which I can check the inspection type's maintained in the material master.
I do not want to go per material put in mass. I know that I can pull the data from tables but i do not want that.
I want the standard SAP transaction code.
Regards,
Narendra Bora

Well, you could make the argument that using SQVI to create a query and making this report available to select users is not really development. It is a standard SAP transaction and users can be limited to only running certain queries. Groups of queries can be created and users assigned to groups. By adding variants that users can't modify and locking certain fields in the variant you can limit the queries to a maximum number of records. Usually the argument is that a user will create a massive query or set values that return too many values. Both of these concerns can be addressed.
I don't think a lot of people understand the full capabilities of SQVI. You don't have to give users unlimited access to the transaction!
If there was a "standard" report or transaction for what you want, I think between Sujit, and myself, we would be aware of it. It is a common requirement during go lives to have to review inspection type setups. I would hope by now we would have run across it.

Change Excise Duty Group on the Material Master

What are the steps to change the excise duty group in the Material Master (MARC- OITAXGRP)? I am getting a message 'Excise duty tax group cannot be changed due to posted stock'.
We realised some of materials have been setup with incorrect excise duty group at a few plants and there have been a lot material movements posted (101s, 301s). But is the best way to fix this?
Do we have to reverse all the documents or is it good if we zero the inventory and then it will allow us to change?
Is a direct table update of the table an option?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance
Srini

you can't change the excise duty group if there is a stock for the material.
there is a steps that you need to follow if you inisist to change:
- zerorize the stock in the current period (all stock types)
- zerorise the stock in previous period (all stock types)
- then only you can change the excise duty group.
these steps can only be carried out when the two posting period are still open, so normally you should do it at month end.

Deleting QM View in the material master

Hi
Is their any way we can delete the QM view in the material master , once it is created
Thanks
JJ

Hi
Deleting a QM view is not possible
what You can do ...is Deactivate all Inspection Types that you have assigned by QA08
or do mass changes using MM17(MARA & MARC) and remove all fields.
It is as good as removing QM view.
Note:
u can set deletion flag at plant level or client level. ONce u do that u can delete that particular material from that plant using sara transaction . But note that all view at that plant level vl be get deleted
so better to make it blank

Attaching u0093material photou0094 on the user tab of the material master transacti

All,
We are exploring a solution for attaching material photo on the user tab of the material master transactions - MM01/MM02/MM03 in ECC6.0.
Please review the questions outlined below from the client -
- Is it feasible to attach a photo of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
- Whats the performance impact on the online transaction?
- Whats the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
- Where and how is the gif or jpg image of the material stored? As a file on UNIX?
- Can a small photo area be added user tab?
- Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
- How much of time would something like this require to setup?
If anyone has worked on similar requirements, request you to respond at the earliest.
Regards
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
- Is it feasible to attach a photo of material to the user TAB of transactions MM01/MM02/MM03.
Yes its feasible
- Whats the performance impact on the online transaction?
There would definitely be impact on performance. The impact would depend on the Size of the Image file to be uploaded. So you need to do a performance analysis for various Size of Image file & select the one which doesnt have much impact on performance & also has a good quality resolution of image
- Whats the storage impact of having photo attached to the materials?
SAP as such wont have any impact except the additional space required to store the images
- Where and how is the gif or jpg image of the material stored? As a file on UNIX?
You can store it using transaction SMW0
- Can a small photo area be added user tab?
Programmatically yes. It would be a custom container in which you would be uploading the photo
- Does this require extensive programming or configuration to achieve this?
No idea whether it can be achieved through some config. Settings.
Programmatically its possible. Yes, it requires extensive programming. You need to maintain a table with Material No. & photo name. Accordingly you need to build the logic to upload the image. This works mostly on the Class CL_GUI_PICTURE & its methods.
Sample programs
SAP_PICTURE_DEMO
SAP_PICTURE_DEMO_ICON
RSDEMO_PICTURE_CONTROL
- How much of time would something like this require to setup?
Well if the image size is defined, then it should take max. 15 working days to develop the same

New Text in the Sales Text View in the Material Master

Hi All,
I want to create new text ID in the material master sales text tab
Can you please help me in how to create the new text for material master sales text tab view.
Regards
Rajesh

Well it may not be possible by standard SAP to create in Material.
AN alternative might be to use a standard text type and then call it in your Text Determination Procedure.
T-code "SO10" --> Give "Text Name & Text ID & Language --> Click at "Create" --> On next screen --> Go to (Menu) --> change editor --> Write the text which you want
Go to VOTXN , and maintain the required confirguation to get this standard Text copied to the material during order processing.

Dear Deepak,
there is standard direct upload i believe
go to lsmw
Execute 1st option
then inLSMW:Object Attribute screen
in standard batch/ direct input
firsr radio button
select object 005
and method 003
Program name RSTXLITF.
Then go by normal process i.e source field , field mapping...
In this way u can also upload Text in the Material master.

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.

Error while creatting the Material Master IDOC in ERP 2005

Hello All,
I am trying to create scenario from RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing - Conf Guide (SAP AII 4.0).
I am using Auto ID 4.0 on a NW04s system. The backend is a ERP2005 system.
The scenario requires that I need to create a material in the backend and send it to the NW04s system using IDOCs.
After completing the configuration on the backend, I tried sending the Material Master IDOC to Auto ID from the transaction AIDMM. I get a message that IDOC is just being created. But I could not find it in the transaction WE02.
On debugging I found that the function MARD_GENERIC_READ_MATNR_PLANT resulted in error.
Thanks for any kind of input.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear,
Check ABAPer for file settings.
- CANNOT_SKIP_ATTRIBUTE_RECORD : The attributes could not be read in the EPS parcel. The file cannot be opened for reading, because it may have been deleted in the meantime.
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_EPS_PARCEL : The EPS parcel is not in the EPS Inbox, because it may have been deleted. You must download the relevant patch again (for example, Hot Package).
- CANNOT_DETERMINE_DATA_FILES : The name of a data file could not be determined, because a profile parameter was not correctly configured. Check the settings using the report RSPARAM.
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE : An R3trans data file could not be unpacked. A possible error source is that the relevant EPS parcel was not found. The data file could not be opened for writing. An error occurred when transmitting a 20K block from the EPS Inbox to the directory /usr/sap/trans/data (UNIX).
- CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE : An ADO data file could not be unpacked. The reasons are the same as with the message CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE .
- CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE : The cofile could not be created from the relevant data file. One possible error source is that <sys>adm does not have write authorization for the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles (UNIX).
Check Note: 70752.

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
