Query regarding fields in the material master

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement where client wants to know the relevance of u201CBasic data textu201D and u201Cinspection textu201D tabs in material master (these appear when we click on additional data tab in material master) and also if we maintain text in these fields for a material where it will be reflected? for e.g where/in what transactions can we see these text appearing.
Please let me know the relevance of these two fields and where these can be reflected. It would be nice if you can also tell me the tables and fields for these two.
Regards,
Krishna Mohan

Hello
This text are maintained in tables STXH and STXL.
For fetch this texts use FM READ_TEXT with parameters:
ID = 'GRUN' - for Basic data text
ID = 'PRUE' - for inspection text
and for both texts
LANGUAGE = sy-langu
NAME = material number (with leading zeros)
OBJECT = 'MATERIAL'

  • 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

  • Updating the Price Determination Field in the Material Master (MBEW-MLAST)

    I'm doing a material conversion into an existing SAP system and the program to load the materials didn't load a value in the price determination field (MBEW-MLAST).  Normally this field is required but because the conversion BAPI doesn't do as much validation as MM01 it was possible to create the record without a value.  The field is not open to input when I use MM02, and even though it appears to work, when I do MM17 mass change the field is also not updated.  Finally I tried transaction CKMM - Change Material Price Determination for Material Ledger but it required an entry in the Old Price Determination field and it won't let me enter blank. 
    We've since corrected the program but my problem is that I've converted about 5000 materials without a value in the field meaning the FI guys can't release cost estimates which is causing a bunch of problems for the testing that we want to do in this system.   We've taken about 3 weeks to do this conversion so going back and doing it again is a terrible option.  Does anybody know a way to get a value into this field other than what I've mentioned above (MM02, MM17, CKMM)?
    Suggestions please.

    have a look into OSS Note 1491364 - BAdI CKML_SET_VPRSV: Price determination cannot be changed

  • GTIN & UPC Stored on the Material Master Configuration

    Experts,
    I am looking for a way to store the UPC code and the GTIN number on the material master in ECC.  Like the EAN/UPC field I am looking to know if there is a way to have both the GTIN and the UPC field stored in the same field with SAP calulating the check digit and prefix.  If not is there another field on the material master that I can store the value for the GTIN and have a way of storing the additional units of measure GTINs also.  Any documentation around the storing of the GTIN / UPC would be appreciative.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    GTIN has existed for several years to allow packages of retail items to be identified without going to the detail
    of EAN-128. GTIN is essentially prefix indicating package type and then EAN-13 or zero plus UCC-12 (with check digit recalculated)
    See http://www.ean-int.org/products.html for more details
    SAP does not seem to have defined a GTIN outside of MDM and CRM
    We haven't implemented GTIN but do use EAN-13 and other EAN codes. For GTIN I would create a new EAN category as a copy of HE (EAN-13) and create a new EAN number range as 1001000000000 to 9999999999999 and assign the range to
    the new EAN code. All this assumes you will assign your GTIN externally. The range copes with GTIN based on both EAN-13 and UCC-12 (=UPC). You see more EAN/UPC fields in material master additional data.

  • 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

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

  • How to include field Internal order in the material master for SD orders

    Hello,
    I would like to know how I can bring the field "Internal Order" to the material master, so I can create materials with assignments to internal orders.
    We want to create Sales Orders where when we enter on order item with a material, the internal order is derived automatically from the material master.
    Thank you in advance!
    Jose Eximeno

    Hello,
    I am not familiar with the field "product attributes" in relation with entering the field "internal order"...
    Could you be a little more specific on how product attributes can be used to enter the internal order number in the material master?
    Best regards,
    Jose

  • 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.

  • 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 description of MVKE-PRAT7 field in SD material master

    Dear,
    Unfortunately I have issues with a translation of field PRAT7, but only in German Language.
    I've did the translation via TCode CMOD - Goto-Text enhancements-Keywords-Change.
    In our development and test system, the translation is shown correct. But if I check the material master in productive system, it still shows the old description in the German language. The English description is correct?
    Do you have any ideas what the reason could be?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help needed in seeing the material master.

    Hi all,
    How can i see the sales area info in a system. i.e. what material is assigned to what sales area, the mapping between the sales org., distr. channel, division and plants? I ask this because when I see some tabs/views in mm03, it asks me the sales area info and I dont know what to give there.. so in effect i get to see only some views in the material master.
    Thanks,
    Charles.

    Hi Charles,
       If you want to know all those materials which have a Sales View, you can go to
    MARA table and search for all those materials that have  a 'V' in MARA-PSTAT field. Later you can use MM03 to see the sales data for that materials.
    Procedure:
    se16 transaction.
    Give V in PSTAT field n selection criteria. and execute.

  • Legacy number in the material master

    Dear SAP Guru,
    Good day.
    We are currently in production support today and we want to understand how a legacy number differs from a material number. As we can see in the material master (Classification View) there is an indicated legacy number there with a corresponding value. Could you further elaborate on how and what is the usage of a legacy number?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind regards,
    JMT

    Jasmin,
    Basically some clients would be interested to track the SAP material number with referance to the Legacy material number, this data would be uploaded during the Cut-over and data conversion to SAP.
    I would suggest you look at the Functional/Tehnical specification document for the conversion program which was used for uploading the material master data into SAP, that would give you the business reason and the field mapping details.
