Urgent:Material Type for Packaging Material in WM and MM

Hi
There is a place in SPRO where i can define the material type for packaging.
Logistics - General -> Handling Unit Management -> Basics -> Define Packaging Material Types
How can i create a material using this material type? What is the use of material type here?
Whenever i create material in MM01/MM41, i get the standard material type list.
Thanks & REgards
Kapil

Hi,
In T.code: OMS2, you can get standard material type list.VERP is the standard material type for packing material.You can copy VERP and rename to ur material type( as it is ur business requriement or else u can use same VERP)
What is the use of material type here?
With the help of ur Material Type , u can craete material like The material type,will be used while defining the material
master.At that time,in Tcode:MM01,first screen we need to
mention,(material type)it show the nature of material
ex:-engineering product,finished products,semifinished
product,etc.,
It also play vital role on material numbering,material type in comination with plant & valuation class, play vital role in inventory & accoputning.
To Create Material,use t. Code: MM01,
Step-1
Enter Material Code: ( example-Polythene Bag, If External Number Range or leave it blnak)
Enter Industry Sector: ...................
Enter Material Type: ..........................(VERP- Packing)
Step-2
Select
Views you required( like eample:basic data-1, like basic data-2,purachsing, purchase order text,General plant data, accounting-1, accounting-2 etc)
Step-3
Enter Plant,
Enter Storage location
{{{Enter Sales organization & Distribution channel(if sales view selected)}}}
Step-4
You will have views like (example-1, basic data, enter Base unit of measure, material group and other details as required field,example-2,Accounting data, enter valuation class, price control; S or V & price)
Step-5
Save.
Note: Before creation material you must know which Industry Sector, Material Type ur going to use and material numbering is internal or external.

Defining Material types in MM01

Dear All,
I want to know how to define material types. Here client needs to bring same material under inventory and non inventory.
Example
1.100 is one material number.some times they required to bring the 100 material into stock and some of the times they want to book the material 100 in direct consumption account after taking GRIN.(no issue posting)
Now how could i define the material type for material 100.
Thanks
Shobana

Hello Shobana,
If your client wants to post the same material some time as inventory material and some time non-inventory material then you need not to define any new material type, but this can be handled at transaction level.
- Create Material as normal material with MM01
1. When you want to stock this material in inventory :
Create the purchase order without any account assignment so when you receive material it will post to inventory account and you will be able to keep that as stock material
2. When you want to post this material in directly to cost account (direct consumption) :
Create the purchase order with account assignment (i.e. cost center, assets) so when you receive material it will directly post this material to cost account but not to inventory account and you will not be able to keep that as stock material
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to hide a certain material type in MM01?

Dear All,
Is it possible to hide a certain material type in MM01?
We would want to restrict the users from creating a material by using certain materials type.

You have two options, either remove the assignment of number ranges in MMNR or block the user from using it via authorization.

Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

Material type for BOM that should not create production order

Hello all,
We have following situation in our company:
We ship few products say for e.g A,B,C which are part of higer level BOM for product M1 to the customer, before the actual product M1 is shipped.Currently these ship-a-head products(A,B,C) is also part of BOM for M1.
We need to combine these ship-a-head products A,B,C as one product M2 (thinking of a BOM) and ship that M2 to customer before M1 is shipped.
In that case what could be the material type for product M2 so that MRP won't create any Production orders for M2.
Also wondering Is there any other way, other than creating a BOM that could combine products A,B and C and ship to customer a-head of time.
Thanks,
Sre

Material Type for Software

What would be an appropriate material type for sellable software? Dien? Fert? thx

A material type is nothing than a description plus some customized attributes. for one company the predefined material types work right away while others may have to tweak them to their needs.
what is a spare part ERSA for one company, may be a FERT for an other company, it depends on your business.
I am working in a chemical company, a Pipe or an ellbow is just a spare part for us. A company that manufactures pipes and ellbows has those items as FERTs, a company that builds tankfarms has these items as raw materials.
what is a software, probably a FERT for the company that developes it. But the predefined nature of a FERT is quantity and value managed. Which would make sense for software too, if the software is on a CD and the CD in carton.
For a company that buys the software - if it is so expensive like SAP software - it is probably an asset.
you said you do not store software, this means you would need to customize the FERT material type to your personal needs or create an own material type.What other views do you not need in case of software? if you dont store materials, then the MRP views can become obsolete, storage location view is certainly obsolete, WM views are not needed, work scheduling view probably not needed.
Can you manage the material only by value? to my knowledge value only materials are only possible in a retail system.
It is not really possible to give you a recommendation what material type you should use, as this is pretty much dependend to your business and local requirements.

Material Type for Material Determination

Hi Expert,
Is there any spesific/standard material master type for material determination on SD ?
Thanks,
IB

Is there any standard material type for 'Material Entered'
Normal salable materials would be created with HALB or FERT and this is in no way related to material determination. In fact, as everybody asked, if you can explain the business as to why you are comparing material type with material determination, may be you will get the right direction.

This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
I hope I answered ur query.
Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

Restricting the material types in MM01

Dear experts,
Our client is using few materila types like-HIBE,NLAG,ROH
We have upgraded from 4.6B to ECC6. Now many other material types have come .
While creating material in MM01,selecting the required material type among the many is inconvient.
1)One way of removing the unnecessary mat types is deleting others in OMS2,
The other way of restricting is --
2) I can enter the authorisation group in OMS2 for the required material types and i can assign to M_MATE_MAR object in the required role, but it is not working
Do i need to create authorisation group in any customisation for entering in the OMS2, because what i entered in OMS2 is not displaying in PFCG of the authorisation object under authorisation group.I have checked in SM30 also ,the same authorisation groups under T134 table are updated. Even though,mat types are not restricted in MM01 under material type field.
Please suggest any other way of restricting the display of material types in Material type field of MM01 instead of deleting unwanted the material types in OMS2 transaction
Regards,
Dayanand

You can use the material type specific transactionsminstead of MM01, remove the authorizations of MM01 transaction and add the required material type creation transactions
example - Goor Matreials create(special)
HIBE,NLAG,ROH
MMB1                 Create Semifinished Product(HALB)
MMF1                 Create Finished Product(FERT)
MMG1                 Create Returnable Packaging
MMH1                 Create Trading Goods
MMI1                 Create Operating Supplies(HIBE)
MMK1                 Create Configurable Material(KMAT)
MML1                 Create Empties
MMN1                 Create Non-Stock Material
MMP1                 Create Maintenance Assembly
MMR1                 Create Raw Material(ROH)
MMS1                 Create Service
MMU1                 Create Non-Valuated Material
MMV1                 Create Packaging
