Material master blocking

Dear all,

This issue is regarding of material master.

We have following type of plant sp. status for blocking

1) Z1 - Blocked for proc. allow issue

2) Z2 - Incomplete documents

3) ZT - Total block status

Till date these key were satisfying our need but now there is a situation which cannot fulfill by above keys. Take a look -

Requirement is material should been block in such a way, that it should allowed for issue, production but not for proc. in such case if I use Z1 it can be possible but, we require that what already created purchase order in system also must not allow for GR.

It can't be achieved by Z1 and Z2. If i use ZT - total block, it is possible, but again it blocks the inventory hence not allowed to material issue.

I have created a new key in OMS4 but when i set error msg in inventory mgt. field it not allows Issue and if set warning msg. then system allows migo for existing or already created PO which is very thing I want to block.

As this will be the regular process, i can't lock material in Purchase order as volume of PO is more.

Please refer a screenshot of newly created key.

Please suggest.

With best regards,

Manish K. Bachate

Hi,

   The blocking key can control procurement as well as inventory. But for your open PO's what is your requirement. If you want to do GR, keep inv management field blank in OMS4, system will allow GR. If you dont want the item, either block the item or put deletion indicator for the po line item in MEMASSPO transaction.

Manish,

My understanding say that you can achieve the scenario through  using the  Sales specific status in material master  using a costume table look up in purchase order creation and good reciept

i.e

1  Material can be used in Production but not applicable for the Purchase

Dear all,

Thaks for your suggestions.

As above situation cant achieve by config., going for mass main. of PO i.e locking of materials in PO.

Hi,

I am not sure,when open transaction data for material available - why you want to block that material completely.


Can you give more business background why you want to block material completely when material is in use by business?

If requires, follow below steps:
1. A. Use t.code: OMS4 & create a  Blocking Key Z1 by setting B in Purchasing segment in field of. Purchasing msg. & save.
B. Again use t.code: OMS4 & create a  Blocking Key Z2  by setting B in Purchasing segment in field of. Purchasing msg. & B in Inventory management segment in field of Inventory mgmt msg. and save.

As your system have only open transaction data, just assign Blocking Key Z1 in purchasing view of material master and save.
Now system will not allow for creating PR & PO and post all inventory posting for that material.

2. Once you complete all inventory posting , assign Blocking Key Z2 for for that material in Basic data-1 in X-plant matl status field and save.

3. Now use t.code:MM06, set flag for deletion for that material.

Dear AKPT,

Requirement is if I want to block a material, it should have to restrict GR and new purch. order  with issue allow, which can possible. But for open PO's it allows GR, which most I want to block with key. About MEMASSPO - I want to achieve this with config. as said above but not with mass maint.

If I not maintain any msg. in inv. mgt. field, system allowed GR for both new and old PO. where as, i want to block both GR with issue allow.

Dear Syed,

Please refer the same.

Other than locking of item, is there any chance to do the same with config ?

There is no chance with config, because config is applicable to everything and does not differentiate

if you block inventory activities, then you block them all, you cannot just restrict receipts and allow issues.

if you block procurement, then you cannot create a new PO, but this has no relevance for a receipt of existing PO.

HI ,

As i understand that now  you have  only problem with open purchase order for no further goods reciept  after all setting for blocking of materials  so you should try to set mark for  delivery complete indicator in open PO for no further GR. For more reference please  check link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_afs65/helpdata/en/7d/e3c744d4d011d3bc0d00a0c92f0691/content.htm

Please change purchase order quantity to equal delivered quantity (if any open quantity available), so further GR will not possible. Consider tolerance limits any set for material level or PO level. If you do this further GR not possible.

Secondly, mark procurement type to No procurement in MRP 2 view so that procurement activities will be restricted on this item.
