Updation of ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi,
For ABC analysis, I carried out it according to T_code MC40(Usage value). I got the category of material. For eg "A".But how the ABC indicator updates in Material master.Because I couldnt get indicator in MRP1 view.
Whats the right way? Pls guide me.
Thanks,
Goraksh.

Hi,
Update of consumption is based on movement type, and you can decide which movement types should have or have not consumption updating.
Check in transaction OMJJ if the movement types in question have indicator "Consumption posting" (field V_156_VC-KZVBU) as marked.
If it is the case, consumption is updated, opposite for un-ticked.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

In Logistics Information system , ABC analysis can being done and results updated in Material master for ABC indicator by background job run.
The relevant transaction is MC40 ( Total Analysis) .
This transaction when run in backgroung with field "Update ABC Ind.in background processing mode" clicked, will update the ABC indicator appropriately.
You can find different criteria based on which A, B,C is decided.

ABC Indicator of material master record

Hi,
Please explain about the ABC indicator of material master record, use and in which tab it is found?
Regards,
Ashish

Hi,
I found the answer.
The ABC indicator is in MMC in MRP 1 tab.
ABC Indicator classifies a material as an A, B, or C part according to its consumption value. This classification process is known as the ABC analysis.
The three indicators have the following meanings:
A - important part, high consumption value
B - less important part, medium consumption value
C - relatively unimportant part, low consumption value

ABC indicator in Material Master

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know if the ABC indicator field used in MRP1 view is Plant dependant or Plant independant?
We have 2 plants. So should we set this ABC indicator seperately for Plant 1 & Plant 2?
Thanks,
Pri

ABC INDICATOR:
Indicator that classifies a material as an A, B, or C part according to
its consumption value. This classification process is known as the ABC
analysis.
The three indicators have the following meanings:
o   A - important part, high consumption value
o   B - less important part, medium consumption value
o   C - relatively unimportant part, low consumption value
So we can say that this information in Material master is plant specific (Plant dependent)
Logically if we think the material which is of high importance and have high consumption in one plant need not have to be important with same level of consumption in another plant.
Rerward if it is helpful

Pavan
So when doing the bifercation of the materials based on their importance it is plant which is of utmost importance

Updation of Consumption values in material master

Dear Experts,
For a FERT ,
When I use strategy 40 , Consumption values ( PGI - Deliveries )are getting updated in MM02 in Forecast view.
whereas,
When I use strategy 50 , Consumption values are not getting updated in MM02 in Forecast view.
Is there any setting to control this updation of Consumption values in Material Master ?

Problem with updating ABC indicator for Material

Hi All,
My client wants to run cycle count for one warehouse.Since the material master does not have ABC indicator in Storage view, Iam using MIBC for updating the Material Master. But after executing MIBC also ABC indicator is not getting updated in the Material master. Please help.

Hi, You need to have an history of at least several months of movements in order to do this analysis. You need also to flag "all articles held in stock" in order to select articles without ABC indicator. Rgds, Philippe

Update of cost in the material master

Hi all,
From the purchasing point of view,In the normal process Cost in the Material master gets updated from purchasing documnents automatically.In this case,manually if the cost is changed in the purchase order affects the cost in the material master.My requirement is this should be done automatically after receiving the vendors confirmation of list of material costs.There may be chance of change in the cost of the materials.so the costs of the materials which were changed should get updated in the material master automatically(VPRS).
Ie changing of the costs of the materials in the purchase order should be reduced .How this will done??
If we have more than 2000 line items in the purchase order,it will be quite little bit difficult to update each material cost in the purchase order .
Thanks in advance..
Regards...VM

Hi,
Normally material will be valuated with two types of price controls S -standard price and V-moving avaerage price.
A std price as its name indicated it is std and will not chnage.
A moving average price will chnage accordingly with the change in the material price.
Normally it will be better create a info record for the material and vendor combination for the plant or purchase organisation with a info update indicator in the purchase order will serve your pupose .
With the proper settings at SPRO system creates info record during creation of PO if it does not exist or updates the existing record if it has one with the latest price details in the form of last purchasing document so that these details get defaulted during creation of PO.
However you can create a outline aggrement so that a PO can be created with reference to that.
Or you can create a condition record for the price for your combination so that it can get defaulted.
The price which is there in PO will not be defaulted to material master.
Or time to time you can review the prices and maintain via MR21.

Batch Management Indicator Required - Material Master

Hello,
My requirement -
Batch management field has to be required for material Type "FERT"
1) I created a new field selection group for the field "batch management" (MARA-XCHPF)
2) Created a new Field Reference group with "Required" entry (OMS9)
3) Assigned the New Field Reference to the material Type in OMS2
The batch management Field is now a mandatory field.
Issue is, when we try to create only the basic Data Views of a FERT material, system does not allow to save the material untill the "Batch Management Indicator" is activated (even if we are not referencing to any plant specific views of the material master.)
We need to have the the Batch management indicator a required entry for FERT, but at the same time should be able to create material master with basic data Field only (we would be extending the plant specific views later)
Is there a alternative method to have this setting to meet the requirements above?
Thanks

Hi
I think you can check if the batch level is defined on material or client now, if yes, you may check if that can be switched to plant level. As far as I knw the basic data is for client so the field is shown on basic data view and ask to input value as you customized.
Alternatively, I think you can use the user exit MGA00001to check the field instead of the field selection, this is called when the material master get saved, then you can write your own source code to chec if the customer filled the field only for certain situations.
Best Regards.

Mass update of huge list of Material master records

Hi dudes,
I want to update 1 field for the huge list of material master record, i.e., statistics field in sales org 2 tab.
please help
regards,
madhav

SAP has designed its system to use the standard transaction way to update any fields, no direct table update should be made.
I have seen so many direct table updates in my career, and what do you think why I have get knowledge about that?
Because it was done incorrectly.
There are that many dependcies in SAP, you never really know them all.
People changed (or deleted entries) in one table, but forgot the update in a second dependend table.
You should be a very experience consultant before you may consider direct table updates, and when you became an experience consultant, then you know that you will not do that.

"Material is configurable" indicator in material master record

Hallo, SAP gurus!
I have a problem:
in my SAP system there is a material whose indicator "material is configurable" is set. Due to this I cannot hold calculations of this material on. How can I clear this indicator(it's grayed and I can't modify it)?
I experimented with BOMs for this material and tried to create several BOMs and I managed as I understand. Probably this could influence setting "material is configurable" flag. Because I could hold calculations on this material before.
Need help!
Thanks!

Hi
firstly unlock the material in mm02--> basic data 1 you have a small lock on top along with additional data and other tabs when you click on that it will unlock and then you can change it also do get in to img - logistic general- material master--field selection--- define lock relevant keys
here go to config management and material lock check the or uncheck the relevant fields
thanks
