Re: EAN number should be substituted by material number

Hi all,
I am having a r/3 ecommerce scenario.
I have a requirement that when a customer enters EAN number for a material in frontend , the material should be determined automatically.
I have mantained the material determination record accordingly in r/3 and when I am creating a order in r/3 and entering the EAN number in material field, it automatically substitutes the EAN with the material maintaied in condition record.
What settings do I do , so that the same works in frontend?
Thanks and regards,
Nilesh

Like this?
SELECT TO_CHAR(123456123.122234,'FM999,999,999.000009') FROM DUAL;

Hi
In the method CHANGE_AT_SAVE

so from these tables you get MATKL (material group) use it along with GL account as the MRM type group consists hell lot of info.

EAN entry (barcode scanning) instead of material number

Hi All,
In material master, I already maintain the EAN number of the material (EAN-13). Is it possible that I can use barcode scanner or enter the EAN number directly in MM or SD transactions (i.e. tcode MIGO, VA01), instead of inputting material number? What field do I have to set focus on the screen? Is it material code field or it must be EAN field?
What configuration needed to set up to let SAP recognize the link between material no. and its EAN in MM transactions?
Thanks a lot,
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Sorry I have not an answer for you but I would ask you if you get allready a solution for your problem? Because we have the same problem in our company.

Add sub number prefix/suffix to main material number

Hi,
I would like to know how to solve the below scenario:-
I have one material number: Mineral Water with different brands as below:-
Borneo
Spring
ABC
How should I configure the above materials in SAP to differentiate the different brand?
Pls help asap.
Thanks & regards,
Loi

Dear Loi,
Pl go to configurations(SPRO)
use split valuation active and
congigure split valuation .
The materail types: Borneo,Spring and ABC are the three valuation types for the valuation category"z or y"for mineral water.
The valuation types are to to assigned with the same acc.assign catergory as that the mineral water material type.
The valuation category is to activated for the plant you are using.
Then create material Mineral water for your plant and assign "z or Y" valuation category in the accounting view1.
subsequently , again create mineral water with valuation types:
Borne,spring and ABC.
this way you can split valuate the material Mineral water.
If you are satisfied pl award marks.
Bye.

Material number for chemical with different packing sizes

A same chemical that we purchase from supplier can be in 25Kg bag, 1000kg bag and 50 kg bag. When we receive the chemicals, the physical goods of the chemical are in 25 KG Bag, 1000kg Bag and 50Kg bag store in the warehouse.
When we sell to customer, it can be in those 3 standard bag size or in KG depend the order quantity from customer.
For the above Chemical what is the best way to catalogue the material number, should it be 3 material numbers for the 3 different pack size, or 1 material number only?

you can have two solution for this with both pros & cons with one material master:
1. You can have three different unit of measure for 25KG, 1000KG & 50KG bag and you can maintain the relationship in the material master. This will help you to get the total stock in KG in your company and you can sell to the customer. Only problem is you will not be able to determine how much of each type of packaging you have.
2. You can define the material relevant for batch management. Create three batches 25KG,1000KG & 50KG, also create three different unit of measures as explained above. Now whenever you are doing the GR just put the material in correct batch, by doing this you can easily track you material along with the type of packaging. Also you can sell the material, while delivery you can use the functional of batch determination based on some log. Only problem is manual intervention which can be covered if you use some exit while doing GR so that correct batch is selected based on the Order Unit.
Hope this will help you..

Unknown material number in POSDW

Hi
I'm trying to post data via idoc wpubon, i'm using the EAN number, in the pos workbench, the ean number is converted into the material number, but i'm getting the message 'Unknown material number' , ¿Why i have this error?.
The 0material, 0rpa_mean, 0rpa_mearm are loaded...
Thanks!

Could it be a timing issue where the material number hadn't been created by the time you extracted the materials from the source system and was then created by the time to extracted the EAN?

Find Sales Order Number for teh combination of material and serial number

HI Friends,
Can you please tell me how do i find out the sammes order number for a combination of material number and serial number. I need to make technical specs for this. Can you guys help me give soem idea !
Thanks in advance for your help !

Hello Mike
If i'm not wrong , as per my understanding you can't find the combination at sales order level , as serial no will come into picture in delivery level only .
so plz find some other way ,
hope this will give you some input

Sales material number on PO

In the 3rd party process:
We receive a PO from our customer and create a sales order.
The customer requests material number "CNxxx" (CN from customer material number)
The sales order creates a purchase requisition.
We convert the PR to a purchase order to an external supplier which delivers directly to our customer.
We order "ONxxx" (ON from Our material Number)
We also supply the "SNxxx" (Supplier material Number) which is being taken from the info record / contract.
How do we get the CNxxx on the PO to the external supplier so that they can refer to that number if they deliver the goods?
Thanks!
Peter

Lets try this
This you can cover with manufacturing part number (MPN) scinario. it is avalible in standerd SAP.
go through below link of SAP help for more details
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/En/5b/da1f604caf11d2b437006094b9c9be/content.htm
I'll brief it a bit.
Make a HERS material CNxxx which will have ref. of your ONxxx matrial ref. and PO will be raised with matrial code made in material type HERS.
Now delivery will not be concern. and in your system the accounts will be settel under material code ONxxx.

Label printing via material Number

Hi,
Is there a standard transaction and program that can be modified to print a label via material number?
The details to be printed on the label are:
Material Number and Barcode (based on material number)
Storage Bin
Material Description
Supplier name
Manufacturer part number
PO number and line item number
GRN date

For label printing, steps in transaction OMCF can be maintained.
Output Type WEE1 uses sap print program SAPM07DR.
Can the following data fields be retrieved from this program:
Material Number (MSEG-MATNR)
Bin Number (MSEG-LGPLA)
Material Description (Feed (MAKT-MATNR) Get (MAKT-MAKTX))
Supplier Name: Feed (MSEG-MBLNR) get (MSEG-EMLIF)
MSEG-EMLIF=LFA1-LIFNR
Feed (LFA1-LIFNR) get (LFA1-NAME1)
Supplier Material Number: Feed (EKPO-EBELN) get (EKPO-IDNLF)
PO number and Item: Feed (MSEG-MBLNR) get (MSEG-EBELN) and (MSEG-EBELP)
GRN Date: Feed (MKPF-MBLNR) get (MKPF-BLDAT)

External material number should not contain purely numbers

Hi Gurus,
I have created the material number range for a specific material type. I need the number to be assigned externally. When i try to create a new material master (with only numbers)on the above material type, the system throwing " For the specific material type, external matl no should not contain purely numbers".
Any body pls explain.
Thanks,
Saravanan

hi
check while mentioning number range have u entered any alphabet in from and to filed
i.e from A to ZZZ then system will ask u to add atlease 1 alphabet
if u use 1000000000 1000099999 as external number range then u can use only numerical numbers in number range
pls check same

Difficult question? - 2 substitute material number for 1 real material??

Hi Experts
In our company,for some specail requirement,we want to have two material numbers for one real
material,that means this two materials are substitute for each other. In every transaction, we can
use this both two material numbers.
For example,material number "A123 " and "B456" , these two material numbers are for one real
material, In evevry transaction we can use "A123 " or "B456".For exmaple ,we can create and release
a production order to produce"A123",and when doing goods receive for this produciton order with
MB31,we could use"B456" for the same production order. And also when we view the stock for "A123" in SAP,we could get the the sum stock of "A123" and "B456".
Is it possible in SAP?How to achieve it?
Thanks for any reply!
Edited by: Fei Liu on Apr 29, 2009 12:22 PM

Hi,
In standard SAP it is not possible, You have only two options,
1. Maintain Single material and use split valuation.
2. Maintain two different materials and do material to material transfe as and when required.

What Changes should i do for taking material number in MM01.

Hi ,
I am recording Material Master 'MM01'. In that Material Number is not taking numeric values. Automatically its generating one number for one record. But I want to give my own number to that material. what changes I need to do. I want to use that recording in BDC program.
Plz..give me the solution.

That is due to functional settings. Here the internal and external no ranges are defined on the basis of material types.
Just go through spro tcode logistics general->material master->material types---> define number ranges for each material type. Here you can see a table control just check whether any material type is there with external check box as checked. Now at the time of recording just enter that material types which allows you to give a external material no( inside the defined range). Or just ask your functional.

What is required userexit or badi or enhacement for material number ??

HI Sir,
Issue,
In MM01 TCODE
when we are entering the material number   it should be the 12digit otherwise it has to give the error message.
so plz help what is the exact exit and the code .
thanks and regards

Have to maintain a specific number apart from material number in MMR

HI All,
We have a specific number(X) for some materials that we want to enter in a material master, and when we create a sales order that number(X) along with material number should populate in sales order.
is there any field provided by sap to fulfill this requirement.

There is no standard SAP fields provided to handle your requirements in the material master.
You may need to use any of the unused fields in the material master. Following options I could think of;
1) Use of Old material number field (MARA-BISMT). But this field will not flow into sales order. You may go with an enhancement to add this field in the sales order -> item level.
2) Use of basic text or sales text from the material master. You need to add addtiional text type in sales order -> item text level in t.code VOTXN. By this way, when a number is maintained in the material master text field, this will automatically gets copied into sales orders.
3) Use of EAN/UPC field (MEAN-EAN11) field. I am not in favor of using this field as this may be needed in other purposes like electronic transmission of data with government entites. If this field is not used in your business, you can think of this also.
Using any of the above may eventually need development of customized report for your final reporting requirement. I am not sure whether any standard report will provide the details on what you are looking for.
Regards,
