Quality Release at the Individual Material Master Level

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to restrict quality release access to a speciifc group of users for a specific MM#? I have a warehouse that has a SType defined for a cold space and there is a single product wiothin that cold space that needs to be QA released by an external quality group.
Any help or suggestions on how to handle is appreciated.
Jim

Hi Jim,
You can use object L_LGNUM to restrict user to use any specific storage type.
As you are saying you have single product with in that cold space storage type.
You can give authorization for the product by using the object L_LGNUM.
You can take a help from your BASIS consultant.
Hope it will help you.

Multiple Country of Origin at a Material Master level- Foreign Trade import

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to store Multiple Country of origin at a Material Master level . One Part/Material is sourced from different vendors and they are manufactured in different countries . Please note that we are not using Batch Management . Is there any workaround to have this scenario without using standard Batch Management .
Thanks,
Prabuddha

hi,
you can use split valuation for this by using the valuation category field in material master in accounting 1 view.
in this you have to maintain valuation category as "H" = ORIGIN.
For split valution procedure you have to reffer the follow this link.

Is it possible to maintain the same material master

Is it possible to maintain the same material master with same code in all plants in a company. Our client is using same materials in all their four plants?

Material numbers are always maintained at Company code level. If you look at the Material master data, some data is maintained at Company code level, some at Plant level and some at Storage location level. If you have all the 4 plants attached to one company code, they should have the same material number. What you need to do is to extend the material to all the 4 plants if thats your requirement. Also, if you have your valuation area as your Plant, then you have the flexibility to maintain Plant specific pricing for the same material.
You can use MM01 T code to copy material from old plant to new plant. But check for the required details in your new plant and make changes accordingly

How can I know the new Material Master has been created?

Does anyone have been tried about how to trigger the new Material Master has been created at a time interaval(maybe an hour or a day)?
I want to transfer the new Material Master within a given period from SAP R/3 4.6C to .NET Application through standard BAPI or RFC and .NET Connector 2.0. How can I do?
Any suggestion is wellcome. Thank You.

Thank you Jiri Ehrlich for answering my question..
I choose the third way as you suggest..
".. 3) Create your own ABAP function to export whole Material Master, call this function from your .NET application and do synchronizing on .NET side (so your .NET application will be RFC client).."
I've tried RFC that retrieve Material Detail by using BAPI_MATERIAL_GETLIST. It works fine but if I want to retrive the new Material or modified within a given period of time(for example 15 or 30 minutes). How I can do? Is there any standard BAPI or RFC to call from .NET or I have to write new RFC.
I have little background of ABAP so help me please. If I have to create new RFC, is there any ABAP Function to call or which table I can retrive those information.
Anyone can suggest?? Thanks in advance

Reports MB5W / MB5L are not displaying the individual material lines

Hi All,
We are encountering a problem in MB5W/MB5L reports. When we are executing these report with the option checked "Display Indiv. Material Lines", system is not displaying the details material wise.
It is just showing the GL wise value of Material ccy and Stock account ccy. It was running fine when we ran the same reports in Feb for Jan 2014.
Do you have any idea why system is behaving like this please?
Thanks,

Hi Narasimhulu,
In report MB5W/MB5L, click the "Current display variant icon" in the next pop-up screen click the position tab and check whether all the material related fields are added or not. If not, move the fields into display list and then check.
Thanks

Restrict material master information at the field level

We have a requirement to restrict change access to certain material master fields, meaning everyone may be able to view the data but not change it. Beyond that, those people who are allowed to change the data can only change certain fields...other people can change other fields (on the same material master view). For instance a simple example would be that someone might have access to change the material description on the basic view but not the material group. Someone else might have access to change the material group but not the description. (Again, this is just a scenario that I'm using as an example, not as a real live case.)
Is it even possible to do this? I'm guessing it's not but I thought I'd ask the "experts" here before I deliver the bad news to our users.
Thanks!

Thank you for the information but I was aware of using screen sequence and field selection however how can I use this to allow certain users access to certain fields but not others.
For example in the Basic view I want one set of users for the same exact material to be able to change the Base of Unit Measure while the other user can only view this field but not change it however this user can change the other fields in the Basic view. This sounds like a solution for all fields for a particular materials. I need to be assign fields within a view to different users.

AFS Material Master - UPC code at SKU (Grid) Level

Hello experts,
I understand that on the AFS Material Master there is a field for UPC code on the Basic Data tab. If you wanted to store the UPC at the SKU level (Grid level) based on Grid Values, where would you enter that data? Is it stored on the Material Master?
Thanks for all the help!

We will have to enter the SKU level data in the Material Master

Tracking changes in the material master

Hi All,
I have a material master 123456.
In this I have batch_class 023 type. I have a characteristic COLOUR which is assigned to the batch_class.
For this characteristic there are 2 options RED and BLACK.
When I created the material master I had assigned RED colour. I did some transaction also.
After 2 days when I went inside the material master, I found BLACK insteadof RED.
I want to know who did this changes? I am not able to track this from the mm03--material master changes.
How do i track the changes?
Regards,
Narendra Bora

in MM04 i think you may not be able to find the classification changes.
i wouls suggest you to activate change logs on AUSP table a prerequisite of change logs is activating multi object assignments. This entails running program RCCLUKA2 which converts KSSK and AUSP to internal number (more information on the program/procedure can be found in the documentation of the program).
this can help you to find the change log on the classificaiton values.

Reference a document in the material master

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a way that we can do the following....
We basically want to have a field/location in the Material Master that will reference a document stored somewhere on a network server and in turn, display and print on the PO (the document name prints, not the contents). Any suggestions of where to start?
So in the MM for Material # 123456
MyField = "MyInspectionDoc.pdf" (MyInspectionDoc.pdx resides on \\mynetworkserver\MyInspectionDoc.pdf)
Or
Is there a way to have an attachment in the MM that will automatically be pulled into the PO when the PO is created (with the material item as a line item in the PO of course)

I think you are mixing DMS (document management) with GOS (generic object services)
GOS content is created as shown in your screen shots.
You cannot even see from any transaction which materials have a GOS attachment. The GOS attachment can only be accessed from the object (material master) where it was created.
DMS is a central component in SAP and embedded to the material master like it is done with classification too.
You can create the documents in CV01N transaction and link to the material or directly from material master. you can use CV04N to search for documents
In the material master you will find the link to the document in alternative data tab where you have as well your alternative units.
This screen looks like this one:
Those material master attachments/documents do not print automatically in a PO, for this you have to do some ABAP development

Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master - usage

Hi
Can anyone tell me what's usage of "Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master" (spro-mm-purchasing-mat master-entry aids..)
and what it controls???

Hi,
In this step, you can assign a purchasing value key and a valuation class to a material group.
The assignment of a purchasing value key provides you with default values for reminder levels etc. in purchase order items without a material master record and without an info record.
The assignment of a valuation class to a material group enables the system to determine different accounts for the individual material groups.
This is usally useful for creation of PO and account posting for materials without an MMR.
When you create a PO you mention only the material group, based on which the purchase info like the Deadline monitorying, over/under delivery tolerances, Vendor evaluation etc gets incorporated into the PO. The account posting will get captured against the Valuation class maintained to the Material Group for which the GL account mapping will be done against the V.Class in the OBYC.

Material master data and Asset

Hello Guys
Considering the every material master data that I am buying will end up been an Asset in my company.
I would like to know how can I alredy related the material master data that I am creating with a possible hierarchy to make it esier at the time of creating the asset?
Some one could briefly explain to me how can I related the material master data and a creation of an asset in SAP?
thanks

Hi guys
Jignesh Thakkar
That was really good answer you gave it is according with the Help instruction that I read, but the main point for me is that I will not know the asset description or capitalized date or serial number, location, etcu2026 until I goods receipt the individual material creating serial nods and the equipment master data.
In this scenario from the equipment master data is there any way to create an Asset master data, create the asset master data with the information of the GR equipment master Data or populate the Asset AS01 with the equipment master data?
Otherwise I will need manually create the Asset and manually synchronize the equipment with the asset?
Thanks Guys it have been incredibly helpful this network I hope I can help some one in future as it have been helpful for me at the moment.

Hi Chetan,
Use material type HERS.

some part is copied
Create material master records
If you work with MPNs, the number of manufacturers of a manufactured part corresponding to one of your firmu2019s own materials determines the number of material master records you have to create:
If there is just one MPN corresponding to one of your firmu2019s own materials, you can enter it and the manufacturer directly in the master record for your own material. In this case, you need not create an MPN Material.
If there are several MPN materials corresponding to one of your firmu2019s own materials, you must create MPN material master records with the material type HERS. In the Purchasing view, enter the manufacturer part number, the manufacturer (this can be either a vendor master record or a manufacturer master record), and your firmu2019s own, inventory-managed material.
The MPN material master records are assigned to your firmu2019s own material. Stocks are managed with respect to the firmu2019s own material.
0.8 cm steel bolts with a diameter of 0.5 cm are identified and stocked in your enterprise as the firmu2019s own, inventory-managed material RAW_S_08.
The manufacturer Meyer & Co. sells these bolts under the number 8001 (the manufacturer part number). This information is stored in the MPN material master record S_MEYER.
The manufacturer Smith Corp. supplies similar bolts under the number 4711. This information is stored in the MPN material master record S_SMITH.
The MPN material master records S_MEYER and S_ SMITH are assigned to the material master record RAW_S_08.
Hope it helps

Prod. stor. location usage Material master

Dear PP expert
Who can help to explain what meaning for this feild Prod. stor. location in MM01 transcation? what is its usage?>
Thanks

Hi Benny,
The Prod. sloc maintained in mtl master serves dual purpose, first when a production order is created for that material, it acts as the receiving location i.e. when you post a GR for the prodn order via MB31 the stock gets posted into this sloc. The other purpose is when this material is a component in a production order, then stock gets issued from this sloc.
This field can be maintained at material master level or at BOM level. The one maintained at BOM level has a higher precedence over the one in material master. If you might ask why 2 places to maintain the same data, there might be instances where the component is stored at different slocs depending on the BOM, then it makes sense to maintain at BOM level, but if the component is always maintained at a single sloc, then maintain in mtl master level.
Hope the above answers your query.
Regards,
Vivek
