Old material number - Field in Basic Data 1 View Material Master

Hai Techies,
We have a field called old material number - MARA-BISMT in material master basic data 1 view. Is that field is just for reference of old material or does it have any effects in the SAP MM when using the material for purchasing or in BOM or so on.
Could any one please highlight me the consequences of using this field to refer a old material number for the new number created.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Kris.S

Hello Kris,
Number under which you have managed the material so far or still manage it,
for example, in another system or in a card index.
You can use the old material number to systematically search for material
master records via matchcodes.
Your understanding for the use of this field is correct.

Work scheduling view-material master

Hi, wht is meant by lot size depenedent parameters and lot size independent parametrs? how to use that data in manufacturing industry? pls advise.

Dear Yadav,
case1: If you have maintained the Inhouse production time for any product in the MRP2 view,this get's automatically reflected
in Work scheduling view as lot size independent Inhouse production time.
At this point if basic scheduling is carried out during MRP then the date calculation will be based upon this number of days
irrespective of the order quantity.
case2:Once after maintaining the operation timings in the routing,you can update the same using CA97,for the relevant task list
type ,group and group counter no and include the check box for update material master directly,you can find the timings
maintained on hour basis in the setup,processing and inter operation (This calculation is based on the timings maintained in the
routing and also your work center capacity details,like the number of hours this capacity will be available for a day).
Once after performing this,even if you have maintained the inhouse production time in days,that value gets removed.
This time will be considered for basic scheduling purpose during MRP.
So in my understanding this will be helpful during the scheduling purpose for the date calculation.
Check and revert back with your further queries.

CLASSIFICATION VIEW / MATERIAL MASTER

HI EXPERTS,
I am facing a problem regarding classification view of a material master.
In my organisation for a perticular material type I have to maintain CLASSIFICATION view. But by mistake I forgot to maintain classification view of some material.
There are more than 1000 material , so it is not possible to check each material individually and if classification view is not maintained that I have to maintain it.
Kindly reply me with some standrad method, so that I will check for which material classification view is maintained or not. According to that I will proceed.
Regards.
raghu.

MM50 is the way.
If you didn't add the classification for a material then you have to extend the material with the classification view. If you enter Maintenance Status C and your material type, it will lsit all materials that DO NOT have a classification view created.
If however, you created the classification view, but didn't enter one of classification values, this will not help. You could try the tools in Classification System --> Environment -->Reporting.

Procurement Type in MRP2 view - material master - configuration?

for the life of me, i cannot find how to configure this field. does anyone have any knowledge how to configure this field to have more options from a material type standpoint?
for example, if i use a VERP material type, i want to have the ability to choose in house (E) or external (F) procurement.
thanks in advance.

HI,
SPRO > Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Setting > Material Types > Define Atrributes of Material Types.
Choose the desired material type > double click > on 'Internal/external purchase order' tab (section) please set '2' (or '1') for both external and internal PO.

QM view material master (Inspection Type)

Hi there,
 I didn't understood the pragmatic usage of the check box inspection by configuration & inspection by characteristics.......that can be set for the inspection types..........
Please enlighten me ......
Thanks

If you set this indicator, the system takes the configurations from the sales or production order into account when inspection lots are created and changes or supplements the inspection specifications in the task list or material specification.
The indicator only works for the following inspection lot origins:
o 01 Goods recipt for purchase order
o 03 Production
o 04 Goods receipt for production order
The indicator cannot be used for the inspection lot origins 10 and 11.
Example
When creating the sales order, the customer defines that the pH value of the product to be manufactured should be between 5.0 and 5.5. When an inspection lot is created for the resulting production order, this tolerance is then copied into the inspection.
Dependencies
The specifications are only copied into the inspection lot if there is a link between the class characteristic and a master inspection characteristic.
Hope this helps you.

With out accouting view material master

hi,
i wmt to creat a materail master with out accounting view. while doing gr how system generates the accounting documents. tell me step by step procedure.
Regards,
Sydanna

Hi
Accounting view mainteance is avoided for the non-valuated materials.
Such case, while creating PO, u need to assign account.
So during GR, system will post accounting doc for Dr to consumption account(which is specified in PO) and Cr to GR/IR account.
If u have not maintained accounting view for other than UNBW, during PO creation system checks for account assignement.

Restrict Material Master View

All,
I have a role to view material master data which contains tcodes MM03 / MM04. I would like to prevent the users from viewing Accounting & Costing views.
Using object M_MATE_STA and the appropriate values in the STATM field this has worked correctly for MM03. However, via transaction MM04, change documents can be viewed for accounting and costing despite the restrictions in M_MATE_STA - I would like to prevent this.
Running system trace (ST01) I have found MM04 checks for M_MATE_STA, but never looks at the specific values in the field STATM.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so what possible solutions have you considered?
Thanks!

Hi,
Please refer to OSS note 482261and follow the steps given it.It is valid upto release 4.6 C only.
Please check the SP level of your system.
If on higher release then see this note 303483.

Restrict change authorization for MM17 (Material master mass maintenance)

Hi,
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I want to know if it is possible to use the mass maintenance transaction MM17 (indus. material) to display data only istead of change/create. Is there some setting at the basis object level which can enable this? There are currently a lot of custom abap reports and queries in our system for viewing material master data, these can all be replaced by MM17. Basically we want to use MM17 as a reporting tool to display data only. Is a solution possible? Help is appreciated, thanks.
Regards

Have you tried the MM Information System node in the SAP Easy Access menu? There are a bunch of standard reports with navigation options there, for the user who has the correct authorization to display only.
Alternately, you may want to take a look into transaction MASS and use the B_MASSMAIN object, depending on your requirements - but test it well.
Cheers,
Julius

Change logs for material master are cut

Hi,
I am having a problem with material master logs. I am not able to get the complete logs for the changes made on a partcular material. It is displaying the change log from today to 2006 but i want to check till 2001. As of now it is cutting it till 2006.
Where as in the quality system i am able to see the complete log but not in our production system.
The way to view material master changes is display any material and go to Enivornment menu and select display changes.
Regards,
Chitrasen

It is possible to archive change documents independent of the objects they belong to.
Usually you would archive a material master and at the same time all change logs get archived too with object MM_MATNR
But as already said. It is possible to archive change logs independtly with object CHANGEDOCU
so execute SARA, enter CHANGEDOCU and click the administration button. If you see archives that were recently created, then you can be sure that your logs got archved.

Single Standard data source which extracts material master and vendor master data

Hi all,
I have a client requirement where user wants to view material master and vendor master in a single report. Is there any standard data source which extracts both the data together..
Thanks!
Arvind

Hi,
Two are different master info objects and can't get them from one data source.
think about multi provider or info set on two master data objects to club them.
Info object - 0MATERIAL and data source - 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Info object - 0VEDNOR and data source - 0VENDOR_ATTR
Thanks

It is used for automatic model selection in forecasting...
Is there a config that can turn this field on or off?

You have to maintain the forecast profile with automatic model selection and maintain these for the parts while maintaining the forecasting view material master.
You can create forecast profile from MP80.

-ve price change in Moving average Price of Material in Material Master.

Dear All,
Kindly guide on below issue.
We have a Material e.g A which stock was available in System let us say 10 qty & the Price per unit was Rs.10. But in last August some users chagned the price to Rs.5 because of whcih the Valuation in previous period has become negative.
Now I have to rectify this. Now please tell me how can I do so.
Also Note: there are sevral other Movements have happened since then i.e. GR, IR, Consumption for Production etc.
This is very important.
Regards,

For negative MAP , there are steps which are given in SAP note 356757. Follow this steps to overcome this issue.
The notes goes as...
Summary
Symptom
When you try to post an invoice for the purchase order, the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
Additional key words
MRHR, MR1M, MIRO, MMVAL, M8783
Cause and prerequisites
You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving average price control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system already posted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, can be displayed with Transaction MR51).
The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the difference between the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material total value must not become negative by this stock posting.
Solution
Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.
The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the following values:
1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)
2. Invoice item value according to invoice
3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount to a value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be posted for this item to the GR/IR account.
In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than (1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant (Transaction MR22).
You can post the invoice afterwards.

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.

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,

View document in material master, Basic data 2 screen?

Hello gurus,
How to view a DIR assigned to material master - basic data 2?
According to help.sap.com:
Additional Function for Material Master Record:
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can define a standard document type by choosing Make Global Settings.
- Done this: assigned document type needed, created a DIR with that type and assigned it to a given material
Documents of this standard document type are displayed in the material master record, in the Basic data 2 view (Extras ® Document data).
- Information of the DIR can be seen in the main screen, no path Extras --> Document data (I know DIRs are shown behind menu path Additional data --> Documents)
You can display the original application files of a document (for example, an engineering/design drawing) directly from the object (for example, material) using a display application (viewer).
PROBLEM starts here: no icon or button to click in order to view the document although the help states so.
Any idea what should be done? Should I install a software of some sort to view? Assign it somehow with SAP? The document type here is doc (MS Word), so nothing special.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
BR,
Pipsa

Hello Sam,
Sorry, I think I described the problem inaccurately.
I could see the document already but for that I must follow the path Additional data --> Document data.
My core question was: Is there a means to allow a user to display the document directly in the screen Basic data 2 since system creates a new subscreen called Design documents assigned anyway?
It seems that the design documents assigned is for information purposes only. It would have been far better with usability to have the display icon in the main data.
