Work Flow for Material Creation in MDM

Hi MM Experts,
Can any one tell me whether there is an option of having Work Flows for Creating Material in SAP MDM (Master Data Management). I think this feature is not available in Standard SAP R/3.
Cheers
Deepal

hi
check this website.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mdm?rid=/webcontent/uuid/5024a59a-4276-2910-7580-f52eb789194b [original link is broken]

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.

Work flow for vendor Master

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow. This is very basic question. I have a requirement to send mail through workflow during vendor master creation. i.e after every creation of vendor master , an intimation should be sent to user.
Guide me.
Regards,
Ravi

Hi,
As said by velsankar you need to customize the BO LFA1 as I believe there is no standard event for vendor creation. So I think you need to create a custom event. Then You change the status of your custom BO to released and then finally you need to configure the Change document object LFA1 for event created in SWEC tcode. Check the radio button 'On Create' and this will do the job.

Work Flow Trigering based on Material Master change

Dear All
Any suggestion to trigger a work flow when the procuremnt key in the material master is changed.
We are facing the problem of not informing all the relavent parties when the planner changes the <b>procurement key from F to E or vice versa</b>.
Also the spec. <b>procurement key changed to 30, 50 etc.,</b>
Because the information is not flown to other relevant sections, the whole master data in in a mess and MRP proposals are greatly affected.
On top of that MRP proposal are not used because of this.
Please reply
Thanks

Hi Raj,
have you looked in the event trace, when this change has been made? It should give you a CHANGED event, that you can start your workflow on. TX for start event trace is SWELS and look into the trace is SWEL.
When you design your workflow enter a start condition, only to react on a change to the procurement key.
I think there is an example almost identical to this in the BIT601 material.
Kind regards
Mikkel

Hi,
Workflow:
Purpose
SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
Integration
SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.

Hi ! !
I am here with a problem with serial no. profile in work sheduling view of material master.
By mistake for some FHMI type ( PRODUCTION RESOURCE TOOLS )materials, serial no profile exist in 'work sheduling' view. Due to that we are facing problem in GRN.
when I am trying to remove that with MM02. i m getting a message as Serial numbers already assigned to this material
Please suggest how to remove serial no. profile.
Thanks in advance,
Prab

Hi,
go to MMBE and check the Current Serial number...for FHMI type
and go to IQ02 and close the Serial number range at the Current number range...
Now you can assign this serial number range to another material type...
Thx

What is use of work flow in master contracts

Dear sd experts
i know configuration of Master contracts But thing is i would like to know why We have to Configure work flow in Master contracts with Work flow consultant ?
i have not traced any thing in the google please help me
thanks a lot

Hi,
Here is the explanation from the workflow help page.
"Changing the master contract triggers a workflow that accesses the assigned lower level contracts and automatically copies the changes to the lower level contract. If an error occurs, a work item appears in the inbox of the person who changed the master contract, who has to process it manually. A separate window displays all the changes that have been made for information purposes."

Hi all!
We are doing only job work for our customers and the products are not regular one . Its a one time job work.. i.e each time different material will come.. So each time i cant create a material master since the frequency is high That is we receive 100 different materials per week and do job work on that and send.. Same material will not repeat again..So how can we substitute of creating material master each time.. What is the solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
Raj.

Hi vivek!
Thanks for your reply..
But what is the need of creating PO's.. I am simply receiving the material(non-valuated) form the customer and do some service in it and send it back to him.. I will process this via sales.. But my question is whether should i create a material master for each time i receive a new material since its one time job and weekly we r receiving around 100 new materials.
Thanks,
Raj.

Material Master : how maintenance statutes works ?

Hi,
I'm new to Material Master customizing and I would like to understand what maintenance statuses do and how it works.
What does it mean exactly if I add for exemple the maintenance status "V" instead of "E" for the screen that correspond to purchase view ?
Does it meen that the "purchase" view will become mandatory before I can sale some material and stop being mandatory to pruchase the material ?
Are mainteance statuses related to user authorization, for exemple does it tell the views I'm aible to display or not ?
Thanks for help,
Regards
Morgan

Thanks for this answer but I don't think it solves my problem.
What you are talking about is using the MM50 transaction to see which view aren't yet maintained considering à gived maintenance status. Of course, if I don't change default customizing, using MM50 with 'D' as a value for parameter 'Status' will tell me wich material do not have MRP Views maintained.
But my questions a re related to :
- authorization concept : do the maintenance statuses values I specified under "Configuring the Material Master u2192 Define Structure of
Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence" determine wiche user can access wich view
- if i change the maintenance statuses related to a view in this customizing, what will it do ?

Morgan
