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.

Restricting GL master change at account group level

Hi Experts,
Requirement
To control GL MAster field layout per company code or per account group and per activity.
To restrict GL master change, for certain fields, at account group level.
Let us say, I have activated "Post Auto" in a GL Account during GL creation.
Now while changing the GL, the system should not allow me to change this particular field.
Analysis
This is possible through transaction OB26 (Define Screen Layout for Each Transaction).
However the limitation of the above transaction is that it is applicable for all the account groups for a particular activity (Create/Change/Display).
I do not want to use any development to make this happen.
Please help me in solving this through standard SAP.
Cheers,
Nitish

Hi,
You can make the account group specific field status setting in OBD4.
And you can make the activity specific setting in OB26.
Then SAP will take the field status out of the two above based on highest priority. The priorities are (starting with the highest):
- Hide
- Display
- Required entry
- Optional entry
Fields which are accessed with the transaction master record display are always either displayed or hidden, since you cannot make an entry in a "display" transaction.
If you do not want to use the transaction-specific control, set the field status for all fields to optional. Since this field status has the lowest priority, the account group-specific control is always used.

How do I restrict access at the field level in vendor creation XK01

Hello All,
Does anyone know a way to restrict access to a certain group of fields or a screen in vendor create? I know it is possible in vendor change XK02 using the field groups (transactions OBAT and OBAU) but we have a requirement to have one group of users create all vendor information except the bank details and another group of users just to create the bank details.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

OCM for Revesion level in the Material Master and for the BOM

Hello,
I use My SAP 6.
I have implemented OCM. It's used for 2 things:
- The first is for revision level in the Material Master.
- the second is for the BOM.
Today, the customizing is good, it's work.
My need is to have the same change number for those 2 evolutions: for the material master evolution and for the BOM evolution.
It's possible, and how?
Thanks for your answers.
Bérenger

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

Restrict Material Master View

All,
I have a role to view material master data which contains tcodes MM03 / MM04. I would like to prevent the users from viewing Accounting & Costing views.
Using object M_MATE_STA and the appropriate values in the STATM field this has worked correctly for MM03. However, via transaction MM04, change documents can be viewed for accounting and costing despite the restrictions in M_MATE_STA - I would like to prevent this.
Running system trace (ST01) I have found MM04 checks for M_MATE_STA, but never looks at the specific values in the field STATM.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so what possible solutions have you considered?
Thanks!

Delivery unit in material master should appear on item level of delivery

Dear SD Sales and Delivery experts,
i would appreciate your support very much!!!
We want to implement the following small functionality:
The components concerned are material master, order and delivery item.
The material master is maintained in folder <Sales: Sales Org1> in the field "Delivery Unit" e.g. with 10 PC
If the customer orders 20 pieces, but the existent stock just has got e.g. 13, the nightly delivery batch (VL10) should not deliver the amount of existent stock of 13 pc but should - e.g. after implementing a coded functionality - compare the 20 pc that have been transferred from order into delivery with 13 on stock and then rounds off to the next lower delivery step of 10 after looking up in the material master in folder <Sales: Sales Org1> in the field "Delivery Unit" maintained with 10 pc. These 10 pc should appear on item level of the delivery so that they can be shipped. Open amount of ten will be handled when the stock of this material had been filled up.
Same procedure within an another example:
Customer orders 57 pc - Stock has 39 pc = delivery should post 30 pc
I found the User Exit MV50AFZ1 but the steps in there seem to be to early.
Are there any BADIs wie can use?
Copy Control with Routines and Conditions?
Many Thanks in advance
Stephan Sislian

Hi,
I never tried, but did you check the field rounding profile in the material master Sales: sales org1 tab - under quantity stipulations?

Best Practices in MRO Materials Inventory Management
Materials for Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) are a major expense for asset-intensive manufacturers. Effective MRO Materials Management is critical and it must achieve two opposing goals: to ensure that material is available in the right place and at the right time to reliably support operating plans, and to achieve the lowest possible cost for purchasing, handling and storing of all materials.
This report provides valuable guidance for individuals responsible for Stores Management by identifying the best practices being used by leading manufacturers across several key areas: Material Receiving & Inspection, Material Disbursal & Returns, Replenishment & Disposal and Material Control & Audit.
Best Practices in MRO Materials Master Data Management
This survey is part of an overall ARC Research initiative to identify the best practices for management of MRO Materials. MRO Materials are a major expense for asset-intensive organizations and poor management of this activity leads to higher costs and lower asset availability. This study is focused on the critical issue of MRO Materials Master Data Management.
Best Practices in MRO Procurement Catalog Management
This survey is part of an ARC Research project to identify the best practices being used by manufacturers in the management of On-Line Catalogs that are used for the procurement of MRO Materials.
Our specific focus is on catalogs that are in some way controlled by the manufacturing enterprise (i.e., not direct use of supplier websites). Within this context, we are investigating practices related to the use of these catalogs for procurement of MRO Materials and the practices used to manage the catalog with respect to content and integration with suppliers and other organizational software applications.
Best Practices in MRO Requirements Planning
Materials for Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) is a major expense for asset-intensive manufacturers.

Vinith,
I have explained in great detail exactly what you need to do at every stage. The steps I have outlined are the same that I follow every time that I want to apply material type restrictions.
I strongly recommend that you contact your security admin to help with this, alternatively engage the services of a trained/experienced security admin who can come on site and go through this with you.
If you have done the following then it will work:
1. Assign auth group to material type via OMS2
2. Verified that check for M_MATE_MAR is active
3. Ensured that M_MATE_MAR does not contain the auth group/s which you assigned via OMS2 (that includes *)
This is the last comment I will make on this topic.

MM - Material master data - move standard field to another view

Hi everyone,
ÉCC 6.0 - release 7.0.
I've been adding many custom fields in Material master data MM01/02/03. Now I got a problem because we have to use a standard field in another view.
The field MARA-HERKL is set up to 'SV'(attribute V_130F-PSTAT):
Warehouse management = S
Sales = V
I want to add 'K - Basic data' in this field's attribute at OSMR Tcode , but this attribute is disactivated. I can not change this value.
I've check this note 306966 that mention: You cannot create new entries and delete entries in client 000. This client contains only the entries delivered by SAP which are used for distinguishing customer-specific fields and SAP standard during the maintenance of the other clients.
Is there any problem whether I delete this field and afterwards create it with the new values?
I'm not in client 000. So, I want to just make sure I will do a legal change.
thank you in advance,
Alexandre

How to fix the field level Error(Invalid Date)

Hi All,
Error: 1 (Field level error)
  SegmentID: ACK
  Position in TS: 5
  Data Element ID: ACK05
  Position in Segment: 5
  Data Value: 162014
  8: Invalid Date
can anyone help me out, How to fix above error? i searched about this but only information about the error is given and no where it is mentioned how to fix it and how is it generated please help me out.
Thanks,
Nitish

Are you sending or receiving the EDI?
Either way, "162014" is simply not a valid EDI data format. Dates in x12 are expressed as CCYYMMDD so December 30, 2013 would appear as 20131230.
If you are receiving, you need to contact the sender and have them correct the output.
If you are sending, you need to property format that date value. For example:
myDateVar.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

Complete information of the field 'Original asset that was transferred'

Hi,
I need to find all the 'Original asset that was transferred' of the each fixed asset. This field is in the master data/ tab origin. The problem is that the system only saves the first one in the table anla, but I can have more than one.
Do you know in which table I can find this information?
Thanks,
Cecilia

Hi,
Thanks for te reply. I was readind the note and it refers to table ANLZ and ANLA. The field is ANLA-AIBN1, it is not saved in change documents becuase the asset master data is not changed after the first value. It is showed only the first value and I need to find all the values.
Thanks,
Cecilia
