Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

Hi,
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
Regards

Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
Cheers,
Julius

  • Authorization object M_MATE_MAR "Material Master - Material Types" in MM01

    Hi,
    We in CPS Energy are implementing VIrsa SOD conflicts on the roles that are in place in current SAP 4.6C version. The authorization object M_MATE_MAR is used by MM01(Creation of Material Master) transaction code & used at mutiple roles. We have restricted this authorization object by Material Type Authorization Group (BEGRU)as WMS1 & given activity a 01, 02 & 03 in a role. The same authorization object is used in Common roles also for displaying that is using transaction code MM03 (Display Material) but the activity & authorization group are ''. This '' is taking precedence over the the authorization object given in the other role.
    Please let us know how to put a control on this authorization object which is used widely by large number of users.
    Maintained Material Master: Material Types                              T-D119010802
    Activity                       01, 02, 03                                             ACTVT
    Authorization group          WMS1                                              BEGRU
    Any help is really appreciated
    Thanks
    Sree

    Hi Sree, your role with MM03 in it should not have * for actvt if it is only a display role.
    As it is a display role actvt 03 would be more suitable.  That way you could have display for all auth groups, but create and change/MM01&2 would be restricted to WMS1 (and any other materials with a blank auth group)

  • Screen Level Security for the Material Master

    We need to create security for the material master by screen views. The Purchasing group needs to be able to change the Purchasing and MRP screens but none of the other screens. How would we accomplish this with SAP security?
    Thanks!

    Janet,
    It is hard for us to know how your authorization profiles or roles are constructed.  You really should consult your local authorization expert.
    The Authorization object you are looking for is M_MATE_STA.  It is probably contained in at least one of your Roles or Profiles that are currently assigned to your MM maintenance people. At a minimum, it should exist in standard SAP profile M_MATE_ALL in your system.  You can review all of these types of authorization info in the User Information System (transaction SUIM).
    You would have to create roles or profiles that narrowly define the "User department" fields for M_MATE_STA object.  You would also have to search for existing roles/profiles that contain "*" in this field, and determine if these entries are still appropriate in your new authorization business process you want to begin.
    Below is the SAP help about this authorization object
    M_MATE_STA
    Definition
    Maintenance status authorization for material master records
    The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.
    This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.
                                                                                    Note                                                                      
    To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
    Defined Fields
    Fields               Possible values      Meaning
    ACTVT                01                   User may create data.
                         02                   User may change data.
                         03                   User may display data.
                         06                   User may flag data for deletion.                       
                         08                   User may display change documents. 
    STATM                                     Here, you specify the maintenance status for which the user is authorized.         
    The maintenance statuses possible are as follows:
    User department                Maintenance status
    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
    Notes
    This authorization object also determines:
    o   Whether a user may flag a material master record for deletion. In this case, 06 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may change the material type. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may process an MRP profile or forecast profile. In this case, the following values must be entered in field ACTVT:
    -   01 to create
    -   02 to change or delete
    -   03 to display
    The maintenance status must be D for the MRP profile or P for the forecast profile.
    o   Whether a user may create an overview of all extendable materials. In this case, 01 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may call up the materials list. In this case, 03 must be entered in field ACTVT; the maintenance status is irrelevant here.
    o   Whether a user may create or change production versions from task lists. In this case, 02 must be entered in field ACTVT, and A in field STATM.

  • In Sales Order Users are not allowed to change price for any material

    Dear all,
    Please give me the solution :
    In Sales Order va02 Users are not allowed to change price for any material .

    Hi Amit
    If you  want that in VA01 manual as well as other pricing condiion entry and cahnges to be allowed and only in va02 users should be restricted ,then  you have following alternative.
    Go to  T.Code SHD0
    Select Transaction VA02.
    Create a new variant ,give suitable name.
    select option change with processing.
    So u can run a va02 transaction and for every screen u can create screen variant and control data entry whether required  , dispaly or hide.
    in this for  LV69a pricing  screen disable update button .
    so system wont change anything updated or cahnged in pricing.
    further you can create the variant transactions  from this transaction variant and assign to different users as per control requirements.
    I think this will help you

  • Change profit centre in material master

    Dear all,
    How to change profit centre in material master with stock(opening balance - 561 stock ?
    What are implications of changing profit centre in material master ?
    Jeyakanthan

    In standard SAP it is possible to change the profit center at any time.
    However this will create inconsistencies in your profit center accounting. Hence you should issue all stock first to a cost center with 201 movement, then change the profit center, then get the material back with 202 movement.
    You need to make MM335 message an error message in OMT4 to allow a change only if there is no stock
    If you dont follow this way, then you create inconsistencies in profit center accounting.
    Because...you received your stock without profit center (actually it is a certain default profit center), if you then change the PC in your material, then each issue will be posted to the new PC, while it never had a receipt.

  • Material master data maintenance strategy

    Hi,
    We are working on a global template to suggest Material master data maintenance strategy.
    Please suggest what could be various options for same.
    Regards,
    Avnish

    Hello,
    In the same situation now:
    1.  Suggestion is to load the Basic Data centrally, say from HQ
    2.  Other data can be loaded via the subsidiary in the different countries.
    3.  If required you can use a block or a material statu and have the HQ control the access to the other parts of the material master.
    For your information, we have come across a big issue regarding this and only now we have begun the above method as my client's HQ controls the release of materials into the market.

  • Mass Change: Routing link to material master

    Hi,
    I want to find out if a routing can be easily unlink to a set of materials, and a new routing can link to this set of materials?

    I want to create new routing XYZ, untie the 30 materials from material group A from routing ABC, and link these 30 materials to new routing XYZ, and still leave routing ABC tie to the 20 materials for material group B.
    Is this a standard function of SAP routing changes?!

    Edited by: raj on May 24, 2010 12:22 PM

    Hi,
    MRP is mainly configured for a material so that tere would not be any need for manual checking of the stock so as to create a PR. 
    The parameters which you have specified for a particular material like reorder point and lot size will help in planning for a particular material.
    If you need only Qty of two (Less) then  there s no need of configuring a MRP for that material
    And lot size is also decided basing on certain other factors like
    1) Lead time
    2) Transportation costs involved in procuring the material etc
    So ifyou want to generate PR for a qty of 100 then you need ot change the lot size
    I hope this gives you clarity
    Thanks & Regards
