Report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number

Hi,
Is there any standard report to find a material by a mfr part number and old material number ?
For the moment, we are using MM03 to search articles by these selection criterion.
Thanks,
Julien Girard

Hi
As there is no stsndard report use the SQVI to find out the details, It is very simple , please follwo the below steps.
Use Txn SQVI, enter the Quick view field say- ZMNFR and click the create button, Enter the title in the next screen i.e Report name- Say - Manufacturer's Part No. Details, in the same screen you need to enter MARA for the data from table/database view, please leave the 1. data source as Table only and the radio button as Basis mode only. Click the tick mark , you will go to the next screen,
You will notice Quick viewer Intial screen
Open the node general material data
Select the Buttons besides the fields MARA-MATNR for material number, MARA-MFRPN for manufacturers part number, and MARA-BISMT for old material number. You can include any other field if you wish to have in your output. You will notice two check boxes against each field, one is for input screen field and the other is for outputf field. But currently you do not bother about and select both the check boxes or any other field you wish to have as input and output as well. Once selected all the fields afer clicking the check boxes save the total arrangement. and then in the same screen use the execute button or use F8 to find out your report input screen.
Now enter the Material number for which you wish to know other two details in the report and execute again you will find the report output.
Please ensure that you are maintaining both the details in material master basic data1 and purchasing view if you wish to get out output
Best regards

In VKOA .. what are customer , material groups

hi ,
in the tcode VKOA what are customer and material groups
where to see customer groups and material groups.....
and when PGI is done what happens to the costing document
thanks
mmn
rewards for sure

Hi,
Customer group is different from customer account assignment group. I have explained you about the customer account group.
Customer group:
Identifies a particular group of customers (for example, wholesale or retail) for the purpose of pricing or generating statistics.
Use
You can freely define customer groups according to the needs of your organization. You assign a customer group to an individual customer in either the customer master record of the sold-to party or in the sales document. In SD Customizing, you can create a condition type that lets you create pricing records for customer groups. Additionally, when you want to generate sales statistics, you can use customer groups as one of the selection criteria.
Procedure
The system can propose a value from the customer master record. You can change the value manually in the document.
Customer group you will find in - XD01 - sales area data - sales screen
Customer account assignment group you will find in - XD01 - sales area data - billing screen.
Similarly material group and mateial account assignment group are both different. Material account assignment group I have explained earlier.
Material group:
Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
Use
You can use material groups to:
Restrict the scope of analyses
Search specifically for material master records via search helps
Material group you will find in - MM01 - Basic data 1 screen
Material account assignment group you will find in - MM01 - Sales:Sales Org. 2 screen.

What kind of material type i should use?

Dear all,
I am wondering what kind of material type I should use for the following type of material:
The material is Chicken used in like KFC- type of eatery franchise store.
The eatery franchise store buy the chicken from external party, next, this store process this chicken (i.e. cut into pieces) and become chicken salad and sell this chicken salad to their consumer.
Personally, I donu2019t think this kind of material can be classified as HAWA (i.e. trading mat type) as the material is not buying and later selling as a same physical product like the retail store.
But it is buy and process it, and sell.
Please help shed some light for me. Thanks.
tuff

Hi we have not using SAP, it is a new project.
kindly please read my question carefully...
basically it is like this...
the chicken the restaurant chain purchased are later process into multiple meal dishes (i.e. Salad Chicken, Chicken with rice, Roast Chicken), and sell to customer directly.
Therefore, looking at your feedback, I can use the SEMI-FG material type for the Chicken for the buying, correct?
But this raise another question in which how do I track the goods issue quantity when the meal dishes is sold, so that my Chicken stock quantity can reflect correctly in the SAP system?
currently they are not using BOM as the franchise holder does not wish to disclose the meal ingredient scret (i.e BOM) to their invidual franchise store.
please advise. thanks
Thanks.

What is cust material information ?it purpose ?

what is cust material information ?

Dear deva
Data on a material defined for one specific customer is stored in the customer material information records. This data includes
the customer-specific material number
the customer-specific material description
customer-specific data on deliveries and delivery tolerances
If, for example, one of your customers uses a number for a material, which differs from the number your company uses to identify it, you can store the material number used by the customer in the customer material information record.
During order entry, items can be entered by specifying the material number used by the customer. You also enter a customer material number in the order view of the sales order. You can then use both material numbers during the order entry, the material number your company uses or the one defined by the customer, because the system can carry out allocation automatically.
Data on the delivery and the individual delivery tolerances agreed upon with the customer for the material in question can also be checked and transferred to the sales order item.
You can also store a text in the customer material information record. It is copied to the relevant SD document items during text determination. In Customizing, the text type Customer Material Text is provided for this.
Thanks
