Hello,
Usually you set material type as '01' for material and '01' for services in search helps.

  • Get Material Type in SRM

    Hi Gurus,
    How to get the material type in SRM? If we enter the material in the product field in the shopping cart, based upon the material type some validation needs to be done in the shopping cart.
    Please advise if anybody is having any clue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Aswini

    Hi,
    Now I got to know how to get the material type in SRM. Would like to share the information.
    Material along with the material type get replicated into SRM from R/3 system. In COMMPR01 transaction, we can search for the material by entering the number in the product id and then it will show the detail information. When the material is replicated into srm, it will be tagged to both the hierachies R3MATCLASS as well as R3PRODSTYPE. The category id corresponding to the hierachy R3PRODSTYPE will have the format MAT_XXXX where XXXX denotes the material type. e.g. MAT_ESRA where ESRA denotes the material type in R/3. The characters after MAT_  will vary.
    The below step is followed to get the material type in SRM:
    1. Get the product GUID of the material (product) used int he shopping cart from the BBP_PD transaction. Or the product GUID can be obtained from table COMM_PRODUCT.
    2. Get the Hierarchy GUID of R3PRODSTYPE from COMM_HIERACHY.
    3. Get the CATEGORY_ID from the table COMM_PRPRDCATR based upon product GUID and HIERARCHY GUID of R3PRODSTYPE.
    It will give the result in MAT_XXXX format. The remaining characters after MAT_ represents the material type.
    Hope this information will be useful.

  • Use of different material types

    Hi Experts ,
    My client is thinking of expansion of its plant . This new plant would be copy of their already existing plant at another location . Now some of materials for manufacturing finish materials are same in both plants but they both use different material types . That is here there is only one mat type where there they use 4 mat types .
    Now do I need to create new plant here or I can use the same existing plant for creation of new materials ? If I want to use the same plant then would be the effect on valuation of mat. Can these mat with different mat types be transported successfully ?

    Hi Neal,
    So you did enjoy your weekend!!! Good good; well you go to IMG ( SPRO ) and on to ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE >> ASSIGNMENT >> LOGISTICS EXECUTION; and just in case you miss out the warehouse number, ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE >> DEFINITION >> LOGISTICS EXECUTION . You will find the links there. Unfortunately I created a screenshot for you but I just do not know how to attach it.
    The list I was talking about was MRP List or Stock overview list ( MD05 / MD04 ). There are two more transactions that I think might come in handy. Check them out:
    LS26 - stock overview of warehouse.
    LL01 - warehouse activity monitor.
    Since the plant and warehouse will be linked, I guess there would be no discrimination on checking stock but I am pretty sure system checks warehouse stock first. That is the entire procedure. I hope it helps. Do reward points if I was able to answer your query.

    Sreekant.

  • Create Material- Using authority by material type

    Hi Experts
    I want to  set authority for user to create material by using  material type. User will create only those  material in which they are assigned in specific material type.
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    Hi,
    You can proceed in the following way regarding this issue
    1] In OMS2, maintain the Authorization Group for a particular Material Type
    2] Maintain this Authorization Group in the activities of MM01 T-code with the help of Basis
    3] This will ensure that authorized user only can create material master for that material type

  • Problem with Packaging Material Type

    Hello all Gurus,
    I have a problem with a packaging material type that I have created copying the standrad Packaging material type LEIH. I created a new packing material type ZPAC - Packaging Material copying LEIH.
    I then created a new material master record using this new material type ZPAC.
    When I am using this material for packing in outbound delivery document - VL01N, I am getting the following strange error message:
    20333 does not have packaging material type and is therefore not a pack.mat.
    Please suggest me why this error is coming and how I can rectify this error. Is there any further configuration that I need to do for packaging material types??? Kindly suggest.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Umakanth.

    Hi,
    Material type is not enough, you have to maintain proper master data as well as config.
    At least please maintain value in MARA-VHART for the packaging material. Please also check these links how HUM works:

  • 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 stationary items

    Hi,
    We want  to maintain stock of stationary items, and these items are procured externally.
    Which material type and valuation class to be used for it?
    Regards,

    Use Non Stock Material TYpe..
    As these are going to be petty Items
    If you have considered as a non stock materila. then you can procure for consumption account..
    This can be done through in Standard PO mention Account assignment category as K and given the G/L account and procure... so that while doing the GR it will hit the cost center account and also materila will not be valuated
    or else make frame work order where u dont required to do the GR.... direct invoice verification
    Examples on where this business process can be used include: Services: example buying flowers, travel. Perticular if the receipt process is not very formalised. It is also sometimes used for utilities (water, electricity...).

  • Restricting PM user by material type

    Hi everyone,
    I want to restrict access to PM users and limit to only allow them maintenance to material type - assemblies (IBAU - Maintenance Assembly). We are using a customized material type (ZBAU - same name used for Auth group) which references the standard IBAU material type.
    I have created an authorisation group for this and it is maintained in T134. Authorisations in both objects M_MATE_WGR & M_MATE_MAR are restricted to ZBAU (which is my Auth group) in the authorisation group field (BEGRU), and the other objects which bring in the Auth group field are also restricted to ZBAU. However when I test this my test user can still maintain other material besides ZBAU.
    Please advise. 
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    There could be two reasons for that
    1) if the access is coming from some other role in the user master.
    2) The Authorization group field doent retrict access to material which are not attached to any specific authorization grp.
    as per you note u attached ZBAU to grp ZBAU but make sure the other material tpye which you want the users to not have access to be added to a differenet authorization group. if they are not a part of any auth group they will be able to acess all those material types..
    Hope this helps

  • Material types

    Dear experts,
    My Client is using only 5 material types(CSDT,DIEN,NLAG,GENC,HIBE). We have upgraded to ECC6 from 4.6B. Now apart from the old material types ,new material types have dispaying.Client want to view only 5 material types only.Remaining are unnecessary confusion for selecting the material types.

  • Exact Difference between Non Stock NLAG and Non Valuated  UNBW Materia type

    Dear All
    What is the Exact Difference between Non Stock NLAG and Non Valuated  UNBW Materia type?
    I tried creating Purchase Order and found that accouting doc got created at both times and stock was not updated in MMBE for both material types.
    Regards

    Hi,
    non-valuated material (Material Type UNBW):
    This type of material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis. This makes sense for materials of low value, stocks of which nevertheless have to be monitored (for example, operating manuals).
    Non-stock material (NLAG) (Material Type NLAG):
    Inventory management is not possible for these materials either on a quantity or value basis. For frequently required consumables, the use of this material type nevertheless enables you to store the information required to create
    purchasing documents (such as texts and units of measure).
    When a material is procured directly for consumption, no material master record is necessary. In connection with consumable materials, you can distinguish between the following cases:
    • Consumable material without material master record
    • Consumable material with material master record that is not subject to
    inventory management (on either a quantity or value basis)
    • Consumable material with material master record that is subject to inventory management on a quantity, but not a value, basis

  • Need Help regarding which Material Type to use for the Scenario

    Hi,
    Here we are configuring the service scenario.
    Suppose Electric Switch of customer flat is not working.
    Here in this case I will purchase the switch. And along with service order
    I will do the delivery of the Material. Then will raise the Invoice to the customer
    with service charge as well as material cost.
    Here I will have to run the MRP also for that material  to raise the PR if stock goes below
    the reorder point.
    So I will have to maintain the Purchase view, Sales View & MRP view to that Material.
    So in this case which standard material Type can I use for this material? Or I have to create
    our own material Type for this material.
    Regards,
    Pradip

    ROH is usually a material type that is supposed to be consumed in production.
    HALB is a semifinished good, own produced and meant to consumed in production.
    Both are usually not forseen to be sold.
    A material that you buy yourself and sell to a customer is a trading good, which is HAWA in SAP.

  • 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)
