Transfering material type to COPA

Hi everyone:
I need to transfer the material type as a characteristic to COPA (MTART field) but this field is not contained in the billing document that is transferred from SD, I only see it in table MARA, Is there a way to send this information to COPA as a part of the billing data?
Thanks in advance
Susanna

Hi,
You can create the charecteristic Material Type from KEA5. Double click on any charecteristic and click on Create button. You will be asked for Table name. Enter the table MARA and select the Field MTART and save.
Now you can add this charecteristic from Operating Concern Generation Manu. KEA0 is the T Code. Click on Change Button.
You will be carried to charecteristic tab page. Now add the char. which you have created. Add and save it
Now generate the operating concern again

  • Pro's and Con's to using Copies of Standard Material Types

    Hi
    We are looking for the pro's and con's of using copies of standard SAP material types for my company.  We are a consumer goods company and looking to see if there are drawbacks and benefits when it comes time to upgrade SAP.  Also what industry standards are out there for when we change / add views to standard SAP material types.
    Regards,
    Josh

    there are no real pros and cons - just philosophy
    We're using the SAP given material types, even adjusted to our needs, already for many years from 3.1 to 6.3 release and had never any issue with hotpackages or ith release changes.
    We are using as well many own material types created by copy of SAP material types.
    the only issues I know are, that the users need some time to understand which type to use if the description appears twice.
    (Remember, it is a personal setting if keys are shown in dropdown lists, and I know many user who do not display the keys)

  • Adding Material Type as a characteristic in COPA

    Hi,
    I would like to add Material type (like FERT, HALB and so on) as a characteristic in COPA.
    Is there a standard characteristic of this kind delivered by SAP??
    If I have to create it myself - which table and field is it? Where would the system take this info from? Material master??
    Thx for help,
    Best wishes,

  • Transferring mm condition types  to copa

    hi,
    i need to transfer mm condition types to copa.
    Evenafter assigning mm condition types to copa value fields  no values are flowing into copa.
    i assign full points if i find the answer useful

    no reply??

    Hi,
    Even if they are trading goods, the materials should have been created in the system, go ahead and run the costing run which will update the MM accounting view with standard prices.  Only thing is that it will calculate the activity prices and overheads.
    Good Luck!!!!

  • Stock transfer of different material type

    Sir,
    finish material of one plant is raw material for other plant. i've to use intercompany stock transfer. How should i cope up with material types? How accounting and excise register entries will effect?

    Dear shailesh jagtap
    Hi how r u??
    Actually The first and foremeost thing that you should remember is that Finished goods should always have Sales View and not Purchase view,Secondly Raw material should never have Sales View.
    And Semi finish can have Purchase as well as Sales view.
    So if u got stuck in the situation wherein u have to purchase the material and also sell
    in that case use material type as HALB
    Whereas in some cases if at all it is required then in that case u can set the Purchase view to finish goods or u can set sales view for ROH(Raw amterial)
    in logistic general-Material master -AMterial types just for ROH or FERT select the views u require

  • Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

    Dear Users,
    I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    Hi Ajay,
    Thanks for valuable input.
    I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
    Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
    OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
    Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
    That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
    My other concern to this is:
    In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
    After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
    My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
    If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
    Let me know your thought on this.
    Thanks and regards

    Hello Naveen,
    If the connection is available (test with SM59 + Connection identifier),
    after choosing your Connection you can test the connection:
    you might find the idocs with the daate when they where sent in SM58:
    The message says in this case there was no service, there might also be other errors like "wrong password" and so on.
    After solving the error, you can restart sending the idoc from this screen.
    Hope this helps .

  • Change of Material Type via MMAM

    Hi All,
    May I ask what are the other prerequisites in changing the Material type?
    What I know is stocks must be zeroed out, Open POs must be closed (is it the open POs only? or all POs with the specified material?) ,and OLD and NEW Material type should have the same Value and Quantity Updating setup.
    I tried changing one material by it reflects an existing Delivery for the said material, I checked the DR and found that it was already received - although its Shipment Cost hasn't been transferred. What should be done with these DRs?
    Thanks a lot.
    =)

    Hello
    The following are the checks the System made :                                                                               
    The POs will need to be flagged for deletion and/or the production          
    orders will need to be archived, in order to change the material type       
    for the material.                                                                               
    The value and quantity updating must be identical for the old and new       
    material types in order to allow a material type change.                    
    Review note 160970.                                                         
    If you do not want to flag the deletion flag of the PO line item for        
    the material, please use note 160970.                                       
    Note 160970 is only for material types where the quantity and value         
    updating is similar (txn OMS2 configuration) .                              
    Please refer to the Online documentation:-                                  
        Logistics - General                                                     
        -> Logistics Basic Data                                                 
           -> Material Master                                                   
              -> Material Master Records                                        
                 -> Material Types                                              
                    -> Changing a Material Type                                                                               
    If the material is already in stock, or if reservations or purchasing       
    documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be met:                                                                               
    o Quantities and values of the material of the new material type          
        must be updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities     
        and values of the material of the old material type.                    
    Please take note that the account category reference must be the same       
    for both the new and old material types and the stock values for the        
    materials with the new material type must be updated in the same G/L        
    account as the stock values for materials with the old material type.

  • Statistical Condition type in COPA

    Hi All,
    I have a sitaution in which I have to capture the value of a condition type, which is statistical, in to COPA. Can any one help me how to setup this and how can I map it to a value field.
    I would appreciate your comments.
    Thanks
    MKR

    Hi!
    For the same you need to go to t.code KE4I.  You need to assign all condition types to COPA value fields.
        All condition types that you want to transfer to COPA must be active in SD pricing procedure. Inactive conditions in a billing item are not transfered to COPA.
        Conditions do not need to be active , however to be transfered with sales order items, since the transfer of incoming sales order items are always statistical.
    Hope this will help much.
    Pls get back to me for further query.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Material Type Configuration and Creating Z configured Material Types

    All-
    Every solution architect I have contacted has told us that itu2019s standard practice to create copies of standard SAP material types (and all other configuration) and then update configuration to make the object client specific rather than just modifying SAP standard.  You do that because when SAP delivers upgrades they may update standard configuration keys and that can cause disruptions.  We talked to some folks at SAP who told us the same thing.
    My Client had previously agreed to this but now some of their IT resources have pushed back with their primary argument being u201Cthis hasnu2019t affected us for the last 15 years so we want to continue with what we haveu201D i.e. modifying configuration and customizing the SAP delivered material types.  Theyu2019ve also found some SAP documentation that says itu2019s fine to do it either way.  I donu2019t have the depth of technical knowledge to get into all of the arguments for / against this.
    Request u2013 Can anyone point us to a position paper or document that states why we suggest this (reasons, pros, consu2026) or someone that could provide us with the expertise to clearly state why and what the consequences are if they donu2019t?  Or if this is really just something that is suggest based upon the potential for problems and they can do whatever they want?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated

    You obviously can modify a lot of standard objects because the config. option is there.
    The main reason not to is because they act as models e.g. what is the SAP standard model for configuration of a Traded material (in the given Solution, Country etc.).  If you have copied the std and modified the Z version you can always refer back to the std if you run in to unexpected difficulties. If you've modified the std, you have no model to refer to.  If you modify the std and it then doesn't do what you want or you hit an issue of some form, you pretty much have to figure out why yourself because SAP would probably charge you.
    Material Types in particular involve a huge potential number of fields (900+) and complex field selection.
    If you do modify a standard, at least document exactly what changes were made so you and subsequent support personnel can understand how the object has been modified. 'Small' modifications of objects you may well have no future issue with, 'big' modifications of big objects could well come back to haunt you.

  • Material type not getting displayed in the cube........

    Hi,
    In my infocube material type for one of the material is not getting displayed.
    When I check in the content of the cube for this material all the fileds are getting displayed except material type.
    However it is present in the material master data from which it is put into the update rules to populate in the cube.
    Its getting displayed for some other materials , so we cant say that mapping is wrong or problem with update rules.
    Can some body let me know what could be the reason.
    Thanks,
    Jeetu

    Hi Jeetu,
    can you check in your cube if you have for one material, entries with AND entries without the MATL_TYPE? If this is the case then you were loading transactional data before having the corresponding material master data.
    You should adapt your scenario:
    - first do not use the standard attribute derivation during your URules: performance is very bad.
    - implement a start routine filling an internal table with your material and MATL_TYPE for all entries of material in your datapackage.
    - implement an update routine on the MATL_TYPE with a READ on this internal table an raise an ABORT = 4 if the MATL_TYPE is initial or the material in not found.
    Now to fix your situation you'll have to reload your cube or alternatively just reload your missing MATL_TYPE MATERIAL from your cube itself and selective delete those which are empty.
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • Mandatory fields With reference to Material types

  • SAP report for movement type and material type

    Hi!
    I would like to use a standard SAP report to give me a list of all the movement types (much like MB51) but instead of material I would like to select on Material type e.g. ROH. The result should for example be a list of the movement types 501 on material type ROH.
    It is urgent, if you could help me I would be very greatful!
    Sincerely
    Anders Öhrling

    Thanks for your answer!
    I have managed to join the two tables and created a report that will work, except that the amounts in local currency that is given by movement type 201 is not negative (as in MB51). I need all movement types that generate a debit must be shown as a negative value. Wo when I summarize all the movement types I end up with the value of 101 minus 201.
    Is that possible without ABAP programming?
    Sincerely Anders Öhrling

  • Change material type - any warnings?

    A material with very little history exists in the system as a semi-finished item with 1220 valuation class.  One purchase order exists that is due in, in two days.  No inventory exists.  The problem is that the system is not configured to post goods against 1220 valuation class items.  So it needs converted to a finished good since the plan is to sell it after it is received from a vendor.
    No open orders or other movements exist in the system.  Just one new open po that was created today, and could easily be deleted. 
    So, delete the po then change the material type using MMAM. 
    Are there any recommendations/warnings someone can offer before this is done?

    Hi,
    Pre requisites for changing a material types:
    1. If you use a material ledger the material ledger must be settled in it.
    2.If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control for the material the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only
    standard price as price control.
    3.If the material is already in stock or reservations exists or purchase orders exists the following conditions must exist.
          1. The stock values of the new material types must be updated in the same
              G/L Account as the stock values of the old material types
         2.  Quantities and values of the new material types must be updated exactly as were by the old material types.
