Urgent ( Material number to be defined in MM)

Hi,
I wanted to define a number for new material in a Plant, could you please let me know where I could configure this.
Thanks
Asam

Hello Asam Reddy,
You create a material master record in the following cases:
If no material master record exists for a particular material. In this case, you create the material master record.
If a material master record exists for a particular material, but the master data for your user department is missing. In this case, you extend the material master record.
If a material master record exists for a particular material and the master data for your user department has been entered, but not at the appropriate organizational level (for example, if it has been entered for a different plant). In this case, you extend the material master record.
Features: You can create or extend a material master record in one of the following ways:
Immediately- By scheduling it
This makes it possible, for example, to create a skeleton material master record in advance which you can supplement with relevant data once the material is actually used.
You can also create scheduled material master records with reference to a change number. For more information, see Special Features for Materials in the SAP library documentation Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH).
Scheduled material master records must always be activated. You do this using the same function as to activate scheduled changes. For more information, see Activating Scheduled Changes to Material Master Records.
Activities: At most companies, material master records are created in one of the following ways:
Centrally: A central body enters a minimum amount of all user department data. Users in the individual departments add to this data in Change mode. For the central body to create data for all departments, it must be authorized to process all user department data.
Decentrally: Each department creates its own material master records. Users are authorized to process data for one or more departments as required.
You cann use the TCode MM01 to create a material.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

Uneven Material Number Assignment

Hi,
We are using Internal number assignment for our materials. When creating the new materials some time it is going backward and taking unused material number in the defined number range instead of taking the current number that is in MMNR transaction.
Please someone explain the reason.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Mapping is one to one between material and customer.
>Is it possible to assign two different customer material numbers for one sap material.
Yes possible, provided that's for 2 different customers.
You can have 2 customer material numbers for same customer / same material.
Same material can have more than 1 customer material numbers, for different customer.
Best regards,
Anupa

How to make sure what material number format is the same in SRM and R/3?

Hi all!
I faced the following problem:
"Product does not exist in plant or it has been flagged for deletion". This error message occurs during shopping cart creation or during transferring purchase requisition from R/3 to SRM. It seems like SRM carries out some material checking in R/3 before shopping cart save and can't find out appropriate R/3 material. The only reason I can assume is different material number formats in SRM and R/3. Material number length is the same in both systems.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander.

Alex-
We experienced this problem just recently. Our situation involved trying to add a material to the cart from an internal catalog (CCM). As mentioned earlier their is a configuration setting to indicate the number of characters the "Product" (SRM terminolgoy) or "Material" (R/3 terminology) should be. We made our setting 18 characters (same length as field in R/3). The important thing to understand is that the material number is actually defined as a character field, not a numerical field so the length of the material "number" is critical for the system to accurately check the material. Do the following and see if you correct the error.
1) Go into transaction COMMPR01 in SRM, select the search tab and choose Material in the Find box, then click start. Choose the material you are experiencing the problem on and verify that the number of characters is the same in SRM as it is in R/3.
2) Next, go into R/3 and look at table entries in MARC for the material. This will show you all the different plants associated with the material.
3) Finally, create a cart and procure the material. If you get the error message go to the basic data of the cart and verify the location (plant) is one of the plants you found in step 2. If not, change the location to one from step 2 and check the cart.

Material Number and Serial Number are not getting filled...Very very urgent

I have my code in the badi...CRM_EQUI_LOAD...method PERFORM_LOAD.In this i try to to create a component for the ibase using the function module... CRM_ICSS_CREATE_COMPONENT...The component gets created but the material and serial number are not getting updated...It is very very urgent..please help....

I am not sure what information you are passing in given FM.
But in my case I have used FM 'CRM_CREATE_IBASE_FROM_EQUI' to create Ibase and component. It creates IBase and Component along with other details like material number and serial number.
you may refer the below code for the same >
Call the standard handling for crm equi load.
call function 'CRM_CREATE_IBASE_FROM_EQUI'
    exporting
      is_header         = is_header
      it_equi_dmbdoc    = it_equi_dmbdoc
    changing
      et_error_segments = ct_error_segment
    exceptions
      technical_error   = 1
      others            = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    raise equi_load_badi_error.
endif.

Urgent!!!! Material Number Problem

Hi Experts,
i am facing the simple problem,
I Loaded the Hierachy Data from IS-R/3 to Bw,
Its Loaded successfully, but the Problme is that its not
showing in the BEx Report,
The Problme is , in the Hierarchy the Material number
is like Ex:3530014 this is not displaying in the BEx(displays like not assigned nodes)
But When i am inserted the Same Material number manually
its inserted like EX:000000000003530014(this is displaying in the bex hierarchy)
to the same node which 3530014 is having.
The Problme is that this Same material number is differing between leading'zeros and the non-leading zeros.
is there any convesion exit routine problem,
i am unable to find out this... help plzzz

In BW system , if you set material length 18 and checked leading zero option.
when material no is below 18 length, the leading zero will be added, in your case 3530014(below 18).
How the infoobject(0material) masterdata looks?
with leading zero or not?
also check conversion routine(MATN1) is set.
thank you

About material number,Urgent!

Hi,All,
When we create a material master data,if we use auto number,the material group number will be not take into account by the system,for example, we use 1 present electronics Industry(Industry sector) ,01 present finished products(material type),01 present computer(material group),the system generate number as 101xxxxx,not 10101xxx,Is there any way to let the system genrate material number as 10101xxx so we can take material group number into account?
Thanks!

It sounds like you want CMOD: MGA00002. In this exit we accomplished very much the same thing, just using material type.

Material number is blank in FBL3N for doc type SA

Hi,
If posting is coming from SD or MM module, the material number is reflected in FBL3N for GL acct "Material price variance". But when the posting is coming from FI, the material field is blank.
But in another company code, when postings are from FI, the material field is correctly populated.
I have already checked and verified that BSEG-MATNR was defined as a special field. I have also ran RFPOSXEXTEND and BALVBUFDEL but the material field from FI posting is still blank.
The FI posting involves filling up the material or product number in the profitability segment amongst other fields and then system will do a derivation.
Can someone point me to the right direction on how to get the material field populated by an FI posting?
Thanks and regards,
Thess

Hi,
The material field should appear in FBL3N for all types of postings, provided it got populated. Can you please check, whether material field is getting populated in BSEG table for that document # ? If the material is not getting derived, then it won't appear in the report.
Best Regards,
Madhu

Stock analysis based on vendor material number

Hi
Is there any report which can show the total stock of a material with split on vendor material number (I am entering different vendor material numbers upon goods receipt) or any query I can write to get the above result?
The requirement is as follows: I will order an item with name say X and vendor supplies the item with different name say Y. So I am maintaining vendor specific name in vendor material number. Now I want to see the stock X with what quantity of it is Y.
Thanks

Dear Praveen
You could use the following;
Input and Output Conversion of Material Numbers
Use
Like every other part in the SAP system, an inventory-managed manufacturer part has an SAP-specific material number that uniquely identifies it. If this material number is uncommon or unknown to the vendor, you should consider the following (especially in the purchasing process):
·        You can enter a part with its Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) and its External Manufacturer, and not just with its material number. This is possible because of the input conversion of material numbers.
·        The system displays this part with its Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer in lists and screens. This is possible because of the output conversion of material numbers.
You have to increase the maximum field length for input and output values in the Output Length for Material Numbers field to enter and display the MPN and the manufacturer code in one field
Prerequisites
You have made the following settings in Customizing:
·        You have activated the conversion exit for material numbers.
·        You have maintained a delimiter. The delimiter separates the MPN and the external manufacturer when they are entered or displayed in one field.
·        You have specified a maximum output length for material numbers. This means that the fields for the long material number are scrollable, and the output columns for lists are wider.
You configure and activate the conversion exit for material numbers in Customizing by choosing Logistics - General ® Interchangeability of Parts ® Set Up Conversion Exit for Material Numbers.
Features
Input Conversion
If you have activated the conversion exit, you can enter the relevant MPN instead of the material number in the relevant input fields.
If the MPN is not unique, you enter the external manufacturer in the same field, separating the MPN and the external manufacturer by the delimiter defined in Customizing.
You have defined: as the delimiter.
Enter 45L700W:36121 (Manufacturer Part Number, Delimiter,and External Manufacturer) for the part, instead of material number 1011. If the MPN is unique, you only have to enter 45L700W (the Manufacturer Part Number).
You can now scroll the input field for the material number. This allows you to enter the maximum output length for material numbers, which has also been defined in Customizing.
Input conversion gives you an alternate and additional input option. You can still enter the ERP material number to identify a part.
The system determines the correct material number from your input, and passes it to the program logic. The system handles your input as follows:
·        If your entry contains the delimiter, the system splits the entry at the delimiter, interprets both parts of the entry as the Manufacturer Part Number and the External Manufacturer respectively, and searches for a part corresponding to these entries
·        If your entry does not contain a delimiter, the system interprets your entry as an (ERP) material number, and searches for the corresponding part in the material master. If this is unsuccessful, the system interprets your entry as an MPN, and searches for the corresponding part.
If the system cannot determine a part clearly, or the search is unsuccessful, it issues an error message.
Value Range for MPN on the Selection Screen
The system converts the MPN into a material number internally.
To ensure that the system correctly interprets the value range for an MPN that is entered as selection criteria, when the conversion exit is activated, the system provides both the material number and the MPN as selection criteria in the selection screen.
Output Conversion
If the conversion exit is activated, the output conversion ensures that the system displays the MPN and the external manufacturer on screens and in lists, separated by the delimiter in the field or column that usually displays the ERP material number.
If the Output Length for Material Numbers field in Customizing is not long enough to display both the MPN and the external manufacturer, the system displays the MPN, if it is unique.
If the MPN is not unique or the output length too short, the system displays the ERP material number.
The system displays parts with the output length defined in Customizing. In addition:
·        You can scroll the output field for the material number on screens.
·        The system adjusts the layout of lists to the output length.
List Formatting
If you use the inventory-managed MPN, you have to change the list formatting as follows:
·        Variable length of the material number in reports
In cases of the automatic conversion of the material number into an MPN and external manufacturer, the system takes account of the Output Length for Material Numbers field (defined in Customizing) when it structures the lists for selected reports. This ensures that columns are aligned, line breaks are correct, and the lists can be read.
·        Adding a field for the external manufacturer
The external manufacturer should also be displayed in lists because the MPN, into which the material number is automatically converted, is not always unique.
In Customizing, you have defined whether the external manufacturer should be displayed with the MPN. The system adds the field for the external manufacturer immediately after the field for the MPN in lists and on the screen.
You can display the external manufacturer with or without an active conversion exit.
·        Sorting by MPN, not by material number
You can sort some lists by material number.
You can sort by MPN in cases where the MPN is displayed instead of the material number.
with kind regards
Sundar

To fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.

The use of framework orders (also referred to as blanket purchase orders) enables you to procure a variety of materials or services from a vendor up to a predefined maximum value (the value limit).
Instead of a specific delivery date, you specify a validity period for the order.
Goods receipts or the entry and acceptance of services performed are not necessary in the case of a framework PO and limit items.
The invoices are posted directly with reference to the purchase order, provided that the specified value limit is not exceeded. When the value limit of the PO is reached, or the validity period is exceeded, the system issues a warning message. It is possible to book the invoices, but these are blocked for payment.
During the phase of service performance, the cumulative u201Cactual" values (for the services actually performed) are continually updated in the underlying purchase. This enables you to monitor the progress of a procurement project on an ongoing basis. By comparing the "actual" value with the total value, you can always obtain an overview of the degree to which a budget for unplanned services or materials has been exhausted (i.e. see whether predefined limits have been reached or nearly reached).
So with the Framework Order type (FO) and item category u201CBu201D you get the error that it is not allowed to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D.
Please suggest me the possible solution to fill in the material number with item category u201CBu201D for Framework Order.
Best Regards,
Harisha

The Framework order type is specialy defined for lesser value procurements (ex: stationeries, cleaning services ....) which are all not worthy to create Material Master at all.
If you are very sure to fill the Material number, then proceed with some other document type.
In what circumstances you want to put material number in FO order?

The error is probably caused because T161-NUMKI = <BLANK>. Please fill in the valid T161-NUMKI.
This needs to be done in customising

Material Number mandatory for PR exceptP for Service Purchase Requisition

Hi All,
Our client's new requirement is we need to give material number mandatory for Purchase Requisition. But it should not affect for Service Purchase Requisition (as we don't have material number with material type DIEN. Till now, we were using Acc Assignment Category K and Item Category D with only Short Text description). We have separate document type for Service Purchase Requisition(ZSRV).
In order to make Material number mandatory, in PR, we need to give in "Define Screen Layout at Document Level for PR",right? Is there any way to give, "Material Number Mandatory at Document Type Level"?
Please suggest.
Regards,
rosh

hi sridhar,
Thank you for your answer. So as you said, there is no possibility to make material number as mandatory at DOCUMENT TYPE level through Customzining, right?

Rosh

Open MM03 with a material number from CRM UI

I can launch MM03 from CRM UI. Please guide me how to open MM03 with a particular material (skiping first screen if possible) from the CRM_UI screen.

Hey,
Maybe this blogpost can help you.
[http://sapcrmweblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/extending-business-object-repository.html|http://sapcrmweblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/extending-business-object-repository.html]
Check the example method ZEXECUTE_WITH_PARAM. This allows you to move a parameter from the CRM system to the PID of a field in the transaction you called.
Furthermore, you will need to move the material number you want to use to the GDC (or if you can use GDC object CURRENTPRODUCT-PRODUCTID, I don't know where it is occupied, that would also be fine), and use that in the transaction launcher definition.
If the CURRENTPRODUCT is not bound when you call the transaction, I think the best way to go would be to add a paramater in IMG --> Customer Relationship Management --> UI Framework --> Technical Role Definition --> Define Global Data Context Parameters called ZPRODUCT type Product.
This GDC object can be occupied by implementing the following code somewhere in the code when you have the material you want to pass available in the BOL.
DATA: __gdc TYPE REF TO if_crm_ui_data_context.
__gdc ?= cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( me ).
__gdc->set_entity( name = 'ZPRODUCT' value = <your bol-product> ).
Hope this helps.

Identification of old material number at plant level

Dear All,
We are implementing SAP for two hospitals. In legacy system each hospital as its own material master and material number. Now in SAP each hospital we are treating as a plant. These two plants are assigned to one company code.
So it means that there will be one unique material number for two hospitals. Now business wants their old material number (which is maintained differently for two Hospitals) at plant level in search functionality
How can I achieve with material master
Regards
Subhash

create a class "OLDMAT" for old material number with CL03 for class type 001
define a characteristic for old material number for each plant with CT04 and assign it to the class (can as well be done from within CL03). name it e.g. OLDMXXXX (XXXX = plant number)
in MM01 select classification view and add the class. after you hit enter you get the fields to add the old material numbers
Standard F4 help for a material number allows then to search for a material number by classification.
