Avoiding non required view for material master

Hi,
If I do not wan to tuse all the views then how can avoid them at the time of creation of material.I mean system should only show me the views relevant for me.
What is the customization setting required to be done in IMG ?/
Thx in advance
Regards,
manOO

Hi Manoo,
1.
Material master creation activity is generally carried out by a central team.
The process flow is generally -
1.Creation of Basic data views,
2.Creation of other views (Like purchasing, Accounting etc)
So idelly i do not see any need to restrict views as the central team is generally aware of the process flow and responsibilities.
2. Alternatively, you can set "Default View" for any particular user ID.
From Consulting point of view, this should not lead to any development as this could be a matter of User discipline.
from OMS2 you can remove the view for a particular material type and which may not be correct.

Classification view creation via LSMW for Material master

Hi,
We are planning to have an LSMW for creation of material master along with classification view for configurable materials.
Though we see a flag to indicate classification view - XEIC1 Indicator: take Classification view into account
We do not see a structure where in we can pass all the characteristics and the corresponding values.
Is this something possible only with BAPIs such as -> BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE after creation of other view for that material.
Regards,
HR

Hi,
Thanks for the response. This is helpful.
However, we were intending to use a single LSMW for creation of all views of material master including classification view. Right now we are using Program RMDATIND as direct input method in LSMW.
Please let me know if there is a way to use single LSMW for creation of all views of material master.
Thanks
HR

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,
I also need to add custom fields to Basic data view. After copying & changing the screen sequence in Config, I could able to see the custom fields in Basic Data view.
I have appended structure with custom fields to MARA table.
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,
Dasa

Current period in Accounting 1 view of Material Master

Dear Experts,
In Accounting 1 view of Material Master there is a current period, now it is 12 2009.
Is it possible to make it 11 2009, if yes how to do it.
Please help if you have solution. it is very crucial for me.
Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Zusen

Hi,
Please read the Solution part of note 487381. There is still a few things need to be carry out before you can proceed
with the initialization :
Bear in mind that the initialization of a posting period has the
following effects concerning the period stocks:
    o The initialization of the posting period to a previous or to any
       posting period may lead to the loss of the information of the
       inventory balances of the previous periods.The book value of the
       current posting period is taken as the basis also for values of
       the previous period in this case.
       If you want to continue working with this new posting period, in
       addition you should execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES attached so
       that history entries greater or equal to the new posting period
       will be deleted.
    o If you have to briefly reset the posting period by one period
       (for example, postings must still be posted in a certain period)
       just to make a correction (and for a small number of postings),
       you should initialize the posting period back again to the old
       value so that the values of the previous period will not be lost
       (you should forbid postings when carrying out corrections).
       However, afterwards the values of the previous period or the
       history records (as of Release 4.5) of the materials posted in
       this case are inaccurate.
       You should NOT execute report Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in this case.
    o However, if the posting period is generally reset again to a
       previous posting period and if postings were made during this
       time, all information on the inventory balance of the previous
       periods is lost.
       As of Release 4.5a, you should use the cited correction report
    Z_DEL_HIST_ENTRIES in order to delete history records that are
    more current than the current posting period.Otherwise, it can
    result in deviations (inconsistencies) for the update of the
    history records.
o Important! If there are open physical inventory documents that
    have status 'counted' or for which indicator 'Freeze inventory
    balance' has been set, you should reject these if they refer to a
    previous period or have been created in the former previous
    period.The inventory difference to be posted can be determined
    from the current book value of the previous period and the book
    quantity frozen in the physical inventory document (ISEG-BUCHM)
    and does not match the inventory balance of the previous period
    that is currently valid.

Hi,
go to MMBE and check the Current Serial number...for FHMI type

Purpose of maintaining classification view in material master

Hi gurus
can anyone explain Purpose of maintaining classification view in material master with example
Regards
Vishal...

Hi
One of the reason we maintain classification is for batch management where characteristics like shelf life expiry date is being attached to a class & that class is maintained in material master so whenever transactions takes place it will read from the characteristics value.
the other purpose is with variant configruation, for a configurable material there will be more than one characteristics for ex: in a car it comes with A/C - non a/c, metallic - non metallic, normal steering - power steering all these are mainatained as characteristics & assigned to a class & we use that class in classification for materials.
there is many more advantages & ways of using classification in material master.

Significance of purchasing view in Material master

Hi,
What is the significance of purchasing view in Material master.
What could be effect if this view is not maintained?
Like for material type FERT there is no Purchasing view, but we can do procurement for FERT items.
So what is the significance of purchasing view in Material master?
Uts

Hi,
I cant Agree your statement,because for the Purchasing Activities it is mandatory that you Maintain the Purchasing view of the Material.
it Gives a error ..material not maintained by Purchasing.
Material XXXXXX not maintained by Purchasing
Message no. ME046
For Inhouse Production through Quota arrangement,it can be optional.
but for the remaining cases ,it is Mandatory.
and the Material type your are speaking is FERT.which is standard material type for Finished products.
if you are having External Procuremnt 100% sure it would be having Purchasing Tab activated .
if not so that,if it is a inhouse production.
check it in OMS2 ..for clear information

No Material classification view in material master.

Hello all,
I have created LSMW for material master upload . Material is getting created through this, but 'classification view' is not getting created.
But i can see the material- class assignment in CL20N.
This problem is for specific material group.
Is there any relation between material group & classification view?
Plz advice how to resolve this?.
Regards,
Satpal Mujawar

Hi,
I found more information:
Batch Input for CL20N is no longer supported.
But you can continue to use batch input with the old transaction cl20.
Please have a look at note 943559, point 2. It would be even better to
use BAPI's instead. Please consult the notes 213120 and 373824 about the
possibilities you've got.
You can find information about the relevant Bapi's in transaction BAPI via:
- Cross-Application Components
- Classification
- ObjectClassification

What is the concept of view in material master?

Hello sap gurus
Some quetions regarding Material Master
what is the concept of views in material master ?
what is determined by specifying industry sector in material master ?
To sell material which views are material are maintened in Material master?
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Material master for finished ggods is related with SD, MM & PP departments. If you carefully go through the various screens in MM record you will realize the importance of the respective fields and the department to which they belong.
1.Suppose Base unit of measure in Basic data 1 screen. The production people will keep the stock of the item using this UOM.
2. In Sales:Sales Org.1 screen we have sales unit in which we will sell the material.
3. Then we have the plant data in which we enter the delivering plant. Also the taxes are determined from the plant so we have the settings for taxes also - whether this material is fully taxable/50% tax/Tax exempted.
4. Then we have purchasing screen in which the data like the purchasing group, variable units,etc are entered. This will effect the purchasing cycle when we are procuring a material from outside. This is related to MM.
5. The we have MRP, this is related to PP as to how to manufacture the product, the MRP type, the strategy group - whether it is MTO/MTS like that.
5. Sales:Sales Org.2 screen - Here we mainatin the account assignment group which is very important as far as the generation of the accounting document is concerned. This triggers the system where to post the value in which G/L account. Accounting document is generated when we create the invoice in VF01 & save it.
6. Work scheduling - Related with the sceduling of the production as to whether underdelivery or overdelivery is allowed, the storage location
7. Quality - Here you can select for a particular finished item where where it has to be checked for quality during its journey from the raw material stage to the finished goods store as a finished item.
8. Accounting - Related to accounting, product costing, total value of the stock in hand, etc. Also related with FI & PP
So all the screens have data which effects one or more modules for the proper functioning of the system to give the optimum results.
Industry Sector:
Key that specifies the branch of industry to which the material is assigned.
Use
When you create a material master record, the industry sector you specify determines
1. which screens appear and in what order
2. which industry-specific fields appear on the individual screens
Screens for Sales:
Sales:Sales Org.1, Sales:Sales Org.2. But other screens also have data which is related to sales. You cannot just maintain the sales views and save the master. It has to be properly linked with the other modules also for the proper functioning of the system. That is why the system is called as "Enterprise Resource Planning" You have to paln the resources of your company and these resources are related with all the modules.
Reward points if solution helps.
