roshan s.

Hi Roshan,
Insted of using this field u can assign Document directly to the Additional Data tab.
TO attach the document to Material Master go to Additional data ---> Document data, assign Document.
You can confirm it by pressing F1 key by selecting that Field.

Document assignment to Material Master & BoM

Hi Experts,
If I assign a document (Document type DRW) to material master X in MM02, later I include this material X in the BoM of material Y, would this document appear in the CS03 screen- for Y -> component item details for material X ->document tab or not?
I think it will not appear in BoM component if we assign document to MM02, we need to assign this in CS02.
Please advise.
Regards,
Abhilash

Abhilash,
If you want to see the document in cs03 which you allready created in MM02, dubble click on item number it will show you the material display, where you can see that document. This document is related to material master data. OR you need to assign the document in BOM.
You can assign the document in BOM in three ways,
1) Attach document as an item in the item overview,
2) Attach document to an item and
3) Attach document to the header material.
1) Attaching document as an item in the item overview:
-go to the `General Item Overview' screen
-select the tab page `Document'
-enter item category `D'
-dropdown and select the document you want to attach
-the system automatically selects the respective document type, document part, document version and document description
-the system also enters component quantity `1' and component unit of measure as `PC' by default.
2) Attaching document to an item:
-go to the `General Item Overview' screen
-select the particular item by F2
-the item all data screen appears
-go to tab page `document assignment'
-dropdown and select the `document type' you want to attach u2026dropdown and select the document you want to attach
-the system automatically selects the respective document part, document version and document description
3) Attach document to the header material:
-go to header overview screen
-go to tab page `document assignment'
-dropdown and select the `document type' you want to attach
-the system automatically selects the respective, document part, document version and document description
Pre-requisitesu2026
-create document by transaction CV01N
-Customizing settingsu2026in document management customizing determines which objects can be assigned to documents per object type.
-go to IMG -> cross-application components -> document management -> control data -> define documents type
-select the document type for example `DRW'
-select the sub dialog `define object links'
-select new entries and enter following objectsu2026
-'STPO_DOC' and screen `257'(linking document to BOM header) u2026'STKO_DOC' and screen `258'(linking document to BOM item) u2026now documents can be linked to BOM header as well as BOM item.

Reference a document in the material master

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a way that we can do the following....
We basically want to have a field/location in the Material Master that will reference a document stored somewhere on a network server and in turn, display and print on the PO (the document name prints, not the contents). Any suggestions of where to start?
So in the MM for Material # 123456
MyField = "MyInspectionDoc.pdf" (MyInspectionDoc.pdx resides on \\mynetworkserver\MyInspectionDoc.pdf)
Or
Is there a way to have an attachment in the MM that will automatically be pulled into the PO when the PO is created (with the material item as a line item in the PO of course)

I think you are mixing DMS (document management) with GOS (generic object services)
GOS content is created as shown in your screen shots.
You cannot even see from any transaction which materials have a GOS attachment. The GOS attachment can only be accessed from the object (material master) where it was created.
DMS is a central component in SAP and embedded to the material master like it is done with classification too.
You can create the documents in CV01N transaction and link to the material or directly from material master. you can use CV04N to search for documents
In the material master you will find the link to the document in alternative data tab where you have as well your alternative units.
This screen looks like this one:
Those material master attachments/documents do not print automatically in a PO, for this you have to do some ABAP development

Adding fields in costing view of material master

Hi gurus,
I need to add 4 fields in costing view of material master. I have followed the steps in SPRO, for configuring customized screen in material master.
1) Created a function group YMMCO and copied the screen 2904 from program SAPLMGD1.
2) Added 4 fields in my customized screen.
3) Created copy of 01 ( Screen reference ) to z1 in OMT3B.
Since 2904 is not there in the sequence . I changed one 0001 sequence at the end to 2904 . I also assigned my program
SAPLYMMCO to it. I can see the changed fields in data screen and subscreen.
4) Then I assigned the SSq to z1 in transaction OMT3E.
But unfortunately, when I go to MM01 to create a material , I am not able to view the fields I added in costing view.
I have checked the screen for the previous field, it shows 2904 only.
Two days back, I did the same thing in basic data view 1 , it was working properly. As per client's suggestion I put it in
costing view, it is not working . Please give me suitable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
D. Mallick

Hi,

But the values I enter in the screen is not getting updated to the table MARA.
Can you please let me know the code, I should have have in PAI (Process After Input) module in the Sub Screen to update the values?
Thanks,

How to include field Internal order in the material master for SD orders

Hello,
I would like to know how I can bring the field "Internal Order" to the material master, so I can create materials with assignments to internal orders.
We want to create Sales Orders where when we enter on order item with a material, the internal order is derived automatically from the material master.
Thank you in advance!
Jose Eximeno

Hello,
I am not familiar with the field "product attributes" in relation with entering the field "internal order"...
Could you be a little more specific on how product attributes can be used to enter the internal order number in the material master?
Best regards,
Jose

About profit centers assignment in Material Master

Hi Frnds,
Have a doubt to clarify. As far as assigning the (Cost centers and) Profit Centers in Material Master (MM01/MM02 ) is concerned, when we look at the costing views, there we have an option only to enter a Profit Center and not a Cost Center. Can anyone suggest to me in this regards.
My doubt is: When we purchase a Raw material/ Semi finished (in short any material), it is a cost incurred to produce a Finished product, which means this has to hit some cost center, first.
And above all when a PO etc from MM are made, there the purchasing clerk punches the RELEVANT COST CENTERS, then:
what is the use of defaulting Profit center in the material master,(without actually defaulting both cost and profit centers in costing views of MM).
(ii) when a cost object (profit center) is being defaulted, why not cost center?
Coz, primarily we need to know the cost in purchasing the material, then add up all costs and OH and then arrive at a selling price, thereby arriving at PROFIT which is where profit center is highly useful.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hi,
To clarify your doubts see my response below:
1) Only Costs can be assigned to Cost Centres. i.e.Balance Sheet items cannot be assigned to Cost Centres.
2) On the other hand Balance Sheet items can be assigned to Profit Centres.
When you purchase a Raw material or Intermediate it is not a Cost at the point of Purchase but it is only a Cost at the time of Consumption, if the same is going to be inventorised. In this case it cannot be assigned to a Cost Centre as the Inventory Account which is a Balance Sheet Account is debited in FI.
Only when the Material is issued to the Production line for manufacture of a Finished product, the Cost centre will be manually assigned. Further, you cannot assign a default Cost Centre to a material , as the material can be issued & consumed by any Cost centre and thus the Cost centre will be assigned at the time of issue.
If you purchase a material and if the same is not going to be inventorised but it is a consumable material, it is assigned to a Cost Centre as the time of purchase and it will be debited to a P&L account in FI. The Cost Centre can be defaulted from the Purchase Requisition or the Purchase Order as the case maybe.
Profit centres are defaulted in the Material master, as we need to generate Profit Centre wise Financial statements and the Inventories need to be posted to Profit Centres to generate Financial statements.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

For case A, create insp plan with usage "1- production" If you have one IP with this usage for given material then system will assign Plan to lot automatically. In your case for second plan update usage as 1.
For case B, system should assign 1st plan make sure for both plan udage is correct. for 1st plan usage should be 5 while 2nd plan usage should be 1. Now if your 1st have status 4 and key date before lot date then system will assign plan auto.
Thanks!!!

Can in know where sales forecasting field will be there in material master

hi,
sap gurus,
good evening to all,
can i know where sales forecasting field will be there in material master record,
because its asking that u have not mentioned the status in ur material master record.
plz help me on this.
regars

Dear balaji
In material master, there is a tab "Forecasting" which will come after MRP4. If you select this tab, you can see a field "Forecast model".
If you are unable to see this tab in MM01, go to OMS2, select the material type and click on blue lens on top left so that you can see a tab "User departments". Select from here the said tab and save. Now go to MM01 and you can see the tab displays there.
thanks

Remove Sales Org & Distribution Channel assigned in Material Master

Hi,
Is it possible to remove Sales Org & Distribution Channel assigned in Material Master. This is a newly created material I looked at MM06 to see if this assignment can be removed without setting the material for deletion. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

the only way to get rit of existing data is to set a deletion indicator and subsequently run archiving.
In your case go to MM06, enter material number, sales org and distribution channel and set then the deletion indicator at this level only.
Then go to SARA object MM_MATNR and run archiving.
Archiving is usually a process, not just a sequence of transactions. Archiving requires customizing, and certainly the most recent OSS notes for the archiving object (this can be extremly many if your hotpackage implementation was long ago).
this is especially needed to archive only certain organisation levels, as this functionality came with OSS notes

Can I use the fields Product allocation and Basic material for bifurcation of material

Dear Users,
We have a requirement for bifurcation of material so we need two field in material master for fulfilling the requirement. First requirement is material category like insurance or revenue etc., second requirement is department wise like electrical, maintenance etc, so i have choosen the fields 'Product allocation' in basic data 1 screen in material master for fulfilling department requirement and then in basic data 2 i have choosen 'Basic Material' field for fulfilling material category requirement. My doubt is whether this change will effect the reports and i need to know the effects of such changes.

Account Assignment from Material Master or Goods Receipt Document..

We are on ECC 6.0 instance.
For Vendor Cash Discounts we have all the postings going to a default cost center set up as the default account assignment in the cost element master. Because of the default cost center, the postings are going to the profit center on the default cost center. But the segment getting populated at the line item level is not in line with the segment on the default PC.
This segment is actually the one which is in line with the Profit center in the account assignment on Goods Receipt/Material document or the PC on the Material Master.
Can someone please clarify where this segment would be coming from - from the material master or from the good receipt aka material document?
Edited by: Pete on Jul 22, 2009 3:51 PM

Hi,
In material master you have assigned a profit center and all good movements will post to profit center,which is assigned to materials.in profit center you have assigned a SEGMENT.so automatically all profit center postings will post to SEGMENT.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Anusha

Error in Account Assignment from Material Master to Sale Invoice.

Dear Gurus,
Pls guide me to resolve this problem:
When i am generating Sales Invoice through vf01, system taking Material Assignment Group as 04, but in material Master assignment Group is 03. Due to this system unable to post accounting document.
Every time user changing that material assignment group through VF02 and saving to post account document ( after changing system posting FI doc).
How system take Material Assignment Group in Sale Invoice. Till now i am checking only Material master. Wht are the other parameters to define Material Assignment group in Sales invoice. <b>This is happending to particular one material only</b>
Pls guide me.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi
While you define account assignment in TCode VKOA, you have a provision for defining the gl accounts in the combination of the following:
1. Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey
2. Cust.Grp/Account Key
3. Material Grp/Acct Key
4. General
5. Acct Key
When you save an invoice it searches in the above order to find a GL account.
May be your setting would have been done only in 1st or 3rd ie., assining the GL account in the combination of Cust.Grp/MaterialGrp/AcctKey and GL Account. Hence if the combination doesn't, it would not generate the accounting document.
If your business process agrees you can define gl account in Account key (4) or General (5) also, by which it would generate an accounting document even if it finds a wrong material group.

Suraj

Account assignment on material master

Hello. I have to include the field account assignment (T163K - KNTTP) on material master...
The main goal is indicate if a material is asset or not...
How can I proceed to do this?
Thanks, Camila.

Hi dear,
1) You can create separate material type for Asset.
2) You can create material group for the Asset assign material group when you are creating new material code for Asset.
If you choose any of the above option then in MM60 as Material Type and Material Group both are displayed and you can easily identify the ASSET.
