The material master contains information on all the materials that a company procures or produces, stores, and sells. It is the company's central source for retrieving material-specific data. This information is stored in individual material master records.
The material master is used by all components in the SAP Logistics System. The integration of all material data in a single database object eliminates redundant data storage. In the SAP Logistics System, the data contained in the material master is required, for example, for the following functions:
In Purchasing for ordering
In Inventory Management for goods movement postings and physical inventory
In Invoice Verification for posting invoices
In Sales and Distribution for sales order processing
In Production Planning and Control for material requirements planning, scheduling, and work scheduling

what is customer maaster record? pupose of it?

Dear Deva Raj,
Do search the forum (or google) for generic queries.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/1a/8fa038b380f66ee10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
In the SAP System, all business transactions are posted to and managed in accounts. You must create a master record for each account that you require. The master record contains data that controls how business transactions are recorded and processed by the system. It also includes all the information about a customer that you need to be able to conduct business with him.
Both the accounting (FI-AR) and the sales (SD) departments of your organization use customer master records. By storing customer master data centrally, you enable it to be accessed throughout your organization, and avoid the need to enter the same information twice. You can also avoid inconsistencies in master data by maintaining it centrally. If the address of one of your customers changes, for example, you only have to enter this change once, and your accounting and sales departments will always have up-to-date information.
You have to implement the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component in order to enter and process customer master records for order processing, shipping, and billing. For more information, see the Sales and Distribution documentation.

Mass update of huge list of Material master records

Hi dudes,
I want to update 1 field for the huge list of material master record, i.e., statistics field in sales org 2 tab.
please help
regards,
madhav

SAP has designed its system to use the standard transaction way to update any fields, no direct table update should be made.
I have seen so many direct table updates in my career, and what do you think why I have get knowledge about that?
Because it was done incorrectly.
There are that many dependcies in SAP, you never really know them all.
People changed (or deleted entries) in one table, but forgot the update in a second dependend table.
You should be a very experience consultant before you may consider direct table updates, and when you became an experience consultant, then you know that you will not do that.

Re: Populating Additional data in Material master record

Hi,
I am creating material master record using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA. I am using the below function modules to populate date in Additional Data Tab. I am getting the existing material details from BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL and passing it to
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA variables. I can create material successfully, but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Program populates this data for some materials and for some materials not. For example, when I try to create a new material by copying existing details from 1234 , New material will be created   with 12345(say), but "PROPORTION/PRODUCT UNIT"   TAB in Additional Data Tab is not populating.
Now If I put a break point, to find out what could be the issue , and then press f6 , and re-execute program for the same material 1234, then my custom program can populates data. I know its sound wiered, but I am not able to solve the issue.

Any suggestions ...

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for your reply. It worked. But now I am facing strange issue. As you see my code above, i am using VBWS_UOM_MAINTAIN_DARK to update Addition data tab. however, the values of internaltable gt_meinh_ws_upd was not updated correctly inside the material master.
For example, I am filling gt_meinh_ws_upd table with the below values
gt_meinh_ws_upd-wsm = 'OZT'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atnam ' ZABCDE'
gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023
append gt_meinh_ws_upd.
but when i see in material master,   gt_meinh_ws_upd-atwrt = 0.0023 is updated with 23, instead of 0.023. I debugged th func. module many times, I didnot come acroos the code what making it to 23.
Any Idea karthik...
Thanks in Advance

Customizing Error Message in ME23N
When displaying of modifying Purchase Orders with a document type of Framework Order, a user selects the LIMITS tab, they get the error message Customizing incorrectly maintained, message number SE729.
The problem is caused by version upgrades of the SAP software.
Number of entries in table T162V is different to the number of columns in table control for screen SAPLMLSP (400). You can use screen painter SE51 to display the screen. View the Element list for TC_VIEW.
The list of fields can also be viewed within the program. Transaction code ML81N (service entry sheet), program SAPLMLSR. Click on the Configuration button (top right hand corner) select Administrator. This shows the number of fields as 67.
Using SE16N to view table T162V shows 69 fields. This table contains six layouts (variants), they must all be the same. Before the change the total count was 414 (69 x 6).
The ME23N transaction only checks that the number of entries is correct. You will notice that the fields are not in the same sequence, but that should not matter if you donot use the service transaction ML81N and it is not a selectable tab on ME23N.
Transaction SM31 was used to delete the extra fields. As this is a SAP table, you may need extra authorisations to make the change.
Note: the number of fields shown above will be different in each site. This is because of different SAP versions and in what software is loaded.

Product hierarchy in the material master record

Hi,
I am handig Data migration project.
This is related to Product Hirerarchy.
I one business Product Hirerarchy have been configured. But in another buisiness, Product Hirerarchy has not been configured.
There are some common materials using by both business processes.
For coomon mateials if I am maintaining Product Hirerarchy value in the material master record, is there any impact on business which is not being used Product Hirerarchy. Whether it will stop / impact on business processes.
Can you explain plz
Thanks in advance

Hi karthink,
Thanks for your inputs.
we are meging two servers. In that in one server, product highrechy have been configuredand in another server not configured.
There are some materials with the numbers calling as a common parts exists in both servers.
ex: plat 0001 in one server 1 & plant 0002 in server2
Common part is : m1
plant 0001 not using product hierarchy and plant 0002 not using product hierarchy,.
After golive, all the common parts are being used by both plants and same basic data 1 view.
If we are maintaing product hierarchy in the basic data 1 view, it will flow into sales view as well.
Then what about impact on the plant 0001 business since it is not using product hierarchy.
In the configuration, is there any settings to activate / deactive product hierarchy at sales area level.
Is there any impact on MM / FICO side.
Please explain.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Delet Material Master Record but not the range

now, deleting these 10 master records, i would like to avoid that the numbering starts from 11.
thanks in advance

Hi Jurgen,
I've gone through the data archiving project in the past. I was actually hoping I don't have to go through this big exercise for this minor situation.
The storage locations in the SAP system are fine. The problem is that when I came in to this organization, I found out that the procurement users have accidentally extended material master record to those storage location irrelevant to them. Those users don't post any stock to those accidentally extended storage location. They admit that it was a mistake. So, I don't really have to do stock movement or GI out from those affected storage location because there's nothing in them.
Now that I've initially flag for deletion (MM06) of those mistakes done by those procurement users over the few years counting to 2000+ material master records affected. But the standard behavior of the SAP system allows change to proceed in MM02 except for that warning message MM081. So, I was actually asking around to explore if there's actually an option to make it an error prompt instead and stop the whole change process at MM02 transaction level.
If I may re-confirm, what I've done so far via flaging for deletion of material master record at storage location level - is this the only correct solution available?
Hope this clarifies my intention of opening this thread. Sometimes, users are quite tough in accepting the results from standard SAP system behavior.
Thanks for the time in explaining.

Material master record: Brands

Hi
There is a field in the material master record where we can fill it with the brand of the material?
There is a field specifically for this information? Maybe we can use Prod./insp.memo in basica data2 view.
Thanks for the help
Regards
Enzo

Thanks for your answer. We are already using Ext. Material Group. The idea is use a field that is only informative and will not have impact in the future operations. Maybe using a field with configuration values brings problems in the future.
What are the information fields are used in this cases?
Define a new Characteristic and Class and assign the class under classification view is another alternative and very prolix but we have to update 50.000 materiales and we dont have the tool to do this activity.
Thanks again.

Material Master Record - How to remove or delete storage location

Dear all,
Is there a way to remove or delete a storage location accidentally extended via MM01 due to extending the general plant view?
I've tried the following:
1. I've used MM06 to flag the particular storage lcoation for deletion. However, when go to MM02 and select the plant view, the storage location that already been flag still exist for selection. I only get the warning prompt "The storage location has been flag for deletion".
2. I tried MMSC attempt to delete and I get either messages with different material master record:
a) "Material not fully maintained for this transaction/event"
OR
b) "Storage location 60BF already exists and cannot be deleted"
P/S: If this question has been asked before by others, please point me to that thread.
I'm grateful for any suggestion. Thanks.

your immediate resonse to this quiry will be definitely rewarded with good points.
Best regards,
R.Srinivasan

Dear Friend,
Please explain where did you maintain the record for the PR00 Condition type..and what is the req and Alt base val and requirement you have specified..
As per Me if you have maintained the taxes along with prices in the material master records in accounting1/2 data then the cost price along with prices will be reflected in the pricing procedure in the cost proce condition type...
VPRS the internal cost price for the material as per sales order.
Please correct me if I am wrong and explain the various requirement type and alt base value calculation you have used.

Material Info Record Screen Layout Help

Dear colleagues,
The question is regarding with material info record. Is it possible to differentiate screen layout of material info record per info category? For example, if I create standard info record u201Csales personu201D field should be required entry whereas other must remain optional.
Best regards.
Metin

Dear Andra,
If I apply what you suggest here is what happens. Suppose Iu2019m creating a material info record with standard info category and I marked u201CReference, salespersonu201D field as mandatory in customizing. Then for all other info categoriesu2019, such as subcontracting, pipeline, etc, this field also become as mandatory entry. What I have been asking is that only this field must be a mandatory entry if an info record with standard info category is created. For any other info category, field restrictions should stay same.

Material Master Record

Hi,
This is one of the certification questions that I am taking and a little bit confused.
Question is "You can enter a material without a material master record in material determination"
Can someone simply explain this?
Thank you.

say you want to enter Material 'X', and the system will churn out Material 007 automatically.
what SAP is saying:- There is no need for material master for a material you are replacing. Thus only 007 needs to be there in the material master. [ thus only for the ones 'you' create]
During order entry, the material ordered by the customer[ could be a dummy] is replaced by the substitute defined in the master record. The system now continues processing with the substitute (for example, in the availability check, pricing, delivery, billing.

Activities to be done before a Material Master record archiving

I read that "before a material master record can be archived and deleted, other objects (such as purchasing documents) that refer to this material must themselves be archived". How can I see which objects these are and the dependencies between them?
What other activities should be done before a Material Master record archiving?
Thank you very much!

go SARA
enter MM_MATNR
click the button for NETWORK (first position in application toolbar)
SAP will show you all objects that you need to take care with archiving before you can archive a material.
You can execute a test run for archiving, and SAP will tell you in the error log, what dependencies a specific material has.
Before your archive, make sure you have the most recent OSS notes applied.
