Reporting Material Status

Dear All,
I would need help in solving my issue: I have to make a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE (is still used) and which one is not used. I found 3 categories for 'Material status' in Material Master:
-     Cross-plant material status
-     Cross-distribution-chain material status
-     Distribution-chain-specific material status
My problem is that I don't know which one to use to define the STAUS of the given Material.
Can anyone help me in this??
Thank you in advance,
Anita

you missed a forth field: plant specific material status.
you said you have to create a report on Materials (for given markets) to see which one of them is LIVE
how do you know these markets from your material master? can they be identified by sales org, dist. channel and division?
if yes, then you can concentrate on the sales statuses (distribution-chain material status)
a status can be customized to restrict certain activies, but can as well be defined just as pure text without any restrictions.
if you want use sales statuses for your report purpose, then make sure you are not in conflict with your SD consultant who may want to use the sales status differently.
a Cross-distribution-chain material status effects any combination of sales org, dist. channel and division, while a
Distribution-chain-specific material status effects only one combination (the one where it is maintained )

Material Status Report

Hi Gurus,
Is there any standard report for Material status.
we are maintaining the status in OMS4.
which we are using in Material Master like
Blocked for procment/whse
Blocked for task list/BOM
These statuses for a particular material, i would like to know from any standard report.Pls suggest me.

Hi
The material status tells you whether a material is subject to restrictions, and what they are. For example, a material may be a part under development or one to be discontinued. The use of a material can be restricted in a number of ways:
The material can be blocked for use in certain business activities by assigning one or both of the following material statuses to it:
Plant-specific material status
In the standard material master, this field appears on the Costing screen, MRP screen, Production Resources/Tools screen, Purchasing screen, Quality Management screen, and Work Scheduling screen.
Cross-plant material status
In the standard material master, this field appears on the Basic Data screen. It is valid for the whole client.
There is no standard report available for Material status display.You need to develop new report for this.Simple you can copy MM60 program RMMVRZ00 and this field in the same develop new program. or
You can get details from the table level.
For cross plant status (Client level)
Field: MMSTAE and Table MARA
For Plant specific
Field: MMSTA and Table: MARC

How to generate a MSDS report from status GP (Generation possible) to RE

Hi EHS Goeroes,
I'm struggling with the Generation of the MSDS. I have done the following procedure and settings:
a) Create MSDS report (CG42)
b) Edit Generation Variant (CG2B)
Settings:
(I have assigned my template to the Generation Variant)
Generate manual request automatically: marked
Change Marks: 0
Initial release status: RE (released)
Version requirement: unmarked
Set historical automatically: unmarked
c) EHS > Specification Workbench > Report from Template (to test the design - display is correct and all phrases can be found)
d) EHS > Specification Workbench > Create new report
(report has been created succesfully and appears in Report Management).
e) EHS > Specification Workbench > Report Management:
MSDS_29 Material Safety Data Sheet for China World
Chinese Not Relevant Generation Poss. => generation possible.
Feedback affter clicking on Accept: You tried to carry out action 'Accept' on a report with status GP. However, this action is not allowed for reports with this status.
Feedback after clicking on Generate: You tried to carry out action 'Generate' on a report with status GP. However, this action is not allowed for reports with this status.
d) SE38 I have no jobs scheduled yet, so I run the following two programs to start the worklist manually, RC1AVGE1 and RC1AVGE2.
RC1AVGE1 - gave allot of feedback information regarding to changes and so on (first time I run it).
RC1AVGE2 - feedback: EHS: 'Worklist Generation for Reports - Selection for Check. - 0 reports to be checked were found'
From my understanding program RC1AVGE2 - should generate the MSDS.
e) WWI - monitor display (CG5Z):
100 @03\QNo background processes in client@ 5 SBR WWI-00000000000000000002 FREE RMDERKS
110 @03\QNo background processes in client@ 5 SBR WWI-00000000000000000063 FREE A132645
xxx SV001 @5B\QWWI server is active@ @02\QNo background processes on WWI server@
xxx SV003 @5C\QWWI server is inactive@ @02\QNo background processes on WWI server@
I checked if I had any jobs running in the background or has been finished, but it seems like it goes wrong here, the system does not generate a job for the generation of the MSDS_29. To be able to get the status of MSDS_29 to RE (Released).
Does anybody has an idea what I do wrong, or which settings might be incorrect? Futhermore, what are the further steps to issue the report in the SD module - report shipping?
Help is much appreciated!
Roy Derks

Hi Roy,
Check and activate the QWWI server for the second job wwi - 110. Try once to generate the MSDS.
I will revert back if i get information.

mahesh.

WM Material Status in Production

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and am implementing WM wit SU mgmt. There is a question I would like to place and would thank your help: ¿Is there any proper way to cancel Production supply movements generated in LP10 transaction so that cancellation movements are reflected in Production Orders, Production Supply, Material Status in Production and related reports?
Thank you,

It should be LQ02. The wharehouse of your storage bin with SU-managed shoud add Movement Type 453.

Synchronize Material Status and Distribution Status

As we have assigned (in our concept) one distribution status to one material status, we want to ease the maintenance for the users so that they only have to set the material status. The distribution status should then be adapted automatically (for both cross-plant and plant-specific status).
My idea was to create a report which maybe runs nightly and sets the distribution status according to the material status.
Has anyone made experience with that and give me some hints on how to do that well?
Thanks for your contribution!

Hi Mohan,
I am talking about the material master. You can set both status there. What I want to have is that
-x-plant material status is always equal to x-plant distribution status
--> MARA-MSTAE is always written to MARA-MSTAV
-plant-specific material status is always equal to plant-specific distribution status
--> MARC-MMSTA is always written to MVKE-VMSTA
Best regards
Martin

Setting material status automatically

Can I set material status (e.g. End of life) automatically ? I mean can I schedule any standard program which will set this status by calculating different parameters.

SAP does not have such standard program, as end of life of a material is not usually automatically reached after a certain number of days, months or years. It depends on market situation .
Further the the material status is something you define yourself, so SAP cannot know which status it should set.
You would have to develope a report to your own needs and update the material master then with e.g. a batch input.
I hope you did not mix end of material life with stock that has reached shelf life expiration date.

Material status at plant level

Dear Guru's,
Please suggest the material status or any other solution for blocking material for planning i.e. there should be no PR, planned order or sales order. But that status should not create problem while mass level changes for BOM, Routing, DMS.
Status 90 in MRP 1 creating problem while applying mass level changes. Also tried 00 & 01 but they are allowing to create sales orders.
Regards,
SAP CONS

Hi,
Go to OMS4 & check the statuses & their values. Choose the one which meets your need. If none suits, then create one.
You can prevent a material from being part of MRP run, while allowing to be in BOM by setting B & blank or A respectively.
Revert if you face any issues.

Vivek

Material statuses error message should go after entering Trackin No in PO

Hi All,
I have created one Material statuses with error message, I have created material with the use of that material statuses..
Its working fine,At the creation of PR, PO I'm getting that Error message..
My requirement is if I enter Requirement Tracking Number at item level of PR or PO means that Material statuses Error message should Go out and system has to allow to create PR or PO..
Is it possible?? how to do it?? plz help me...
Is it possible in standard SAp???
thanks and regards
rames reddy

Hi,
You can keep Requirement Tracking Number as Required Entry in field selection key (NBF or a copy of NBF as ZNBF) of PO document type in u201CReference data, itemu201D segment in following path:
SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Screen Layout at Document Level
And then assign field selection key to PO Document type and save.
SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types
Now create PO with PO document type, system will ask you to enter Requirement Tracking Number in u201CItem Overviewu201D unless then you can save Purchase Order.
The same you can do for PR document type by having a field selection key for PR document type.

Material status blocks creation of reservation in SRM

Dear All,
We observe the following behavior in our SRM (5.0) System:
If we create a caddy for a product that has the Cross-Plant Material Status : 04 (Material master, view Basic Data 1) in the Backend-System, the reservation can not be created. There is a message indicating, that it is not possible to purchase the product.
If we create the reservation for the same product direct in the Backen-System, there is no problem.
This is OK, if we do external procurement, but internal procurement should not be blocked in SRM.
Do you know where we have to customize this message?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas
understood.
not possible to purchase the product --
is it having a purchasing view in ECC .
If you did not pull this materials in to SRM , how can you procure from SRM web portal.
first you need to select this material via internal goods and services in the srm web portal . then only you can order a material from SRM.
if you pulled a material from ECC to SRM and it must be in COMMPR01.

How to validate material status in physical Inv Doc creation using MI01

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how to validate material status while creating physical inventory document using MI01 transaction.
I tried to figure out a suitable BADI and customer exits ,but it didnt work out well.
Kindly share your thoughts on how this can be achieved.
Regards,
Mohammed Aslam Rasheed

Do you really create your inventory documents with this MI01 transaction manually by entering material for material?
The real transaction for physical inventory is MI31. How do you want SAP to react if hundreds of materials are selected and inventory documents are created in a batch process?
SAP takes care about the material status in MI04 and MI07 transactions.
I am not aware of any exit for MI01 maintenance, you may consider Explicit and Implicit Enhancement Options

Material Status field in Material master

Hi,
This is regarding Material Master.
Where can I find field Material Status (MARA-PSTAT) in Material Master??
regards,
Rc

Different views of material master when maintained are given a unique ID such as:
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
MARA-VPSTA- MARA is the master table for materials and is at client level. VPSTA tells you all the views that have been created for the material. and Plant Stock and Storage Location stock views get created automatically.
MARA-PSTAT - tells you the views that have been created manually.
MARC-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Plant
MARD-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Storage Location data (Storage)
MBEW-PSTAT - tells you the view created manually, relevant to Finance (Accounting and Costing)

Material status in material master

Hi,
We have different type of statuses that can be maintained in material master like -
Distribution-chain-specific material status
Cross-distribution-chain material status
Cross-Plant Material Status
Plant-Specific Material Status
The settings for these are maintained as part of configuration.
Is there any possibility to further add some more control parameters in the statuses through development or customising?
regards,
Mohit

Hello Mohit ,
What kind of control you are expecting through the material status ? We can do config and maintain new material status through the t-code OMS4.
Just to mention few of the control few of the control we can do from there are Message/Error if independent requirement is created for material , Message /Error if material is used in MRP, Message/Error if material is used in production order header, Message /Error if material used in WM transfer reqmt/posting change etc etc .
There are other plenty of option there which you can explore.
I hope the information helps
Cheers

Material status in PO

Experts,
If I want to exlude / influence the material status (blocked for purchasing with error) check in PO type UB (Stock Transport Order), how to go about it? Is there a standard solution? This order type is used only for transfering stock within the company and not to purchase. It does not make sense to block this order type.
Also, are there user-exits / BADIs to influence it? Would appreciate your inputs.
UV

Dear,
I think you are getting error while creating STO for some material & trying to reectify that error.
If my assumption was correct plz proceed like below,
Check Material master MM03 - Basic 1 view >X-plant material status> Blocked for procurement(01)
If avail plz take remove it.
Also check MRP1 view...there is also an option to block the material for procurement.Plz remove it also
Then create STO,
