Identify a same material with a code/number external

[Former Member]

Hi SAP experts,

In our company need to registrate the same material in MM and to identify it with an external code or number. Then , have to consume through MB1A - MIGO .

(The material will be a client material)

What is the most recomendable procedure to resolve this?

Thaks in advance

Dear,

You can opt configurable Material variant.This is client specific.Here you can have characteristics based on your requirement.

This can be assigned in "Basic data-2" in material master.Choose class type 300 for this functionality.

hi,

Exactly either you have to use three differrant batches as the codes or try use the batch classification .

Since you need those numbers at consumption, which means you have to know it for your stock, then I don't really see another option than batch management in standard industry solution of SAP ERP, see the blog

Hi Jürgen,

We think the best solution is to use batch management because we have R3 and a basic implementation.

Do yo know if in batch management we configure some characteristics for them?

Thank in advance,

Maria

It is up to you and your company how sophisticated you want use batch management.

For a pure differentiation based on your initial request is batch management with external batch numbers sufficient. If you want SAP to automatically find certain batches based on a set of criterias, then you need to add a batch class to your material and classify the batch when receiving.

Hi Jürgen,

I created  a class and characteristics for a batch, but I need to identify with a many codes the same material.

For example: Received 3 units for material 1 in batch XX and each unit has a different code.

Batch        Material          Code

XX               1                   A1

XX               1                   B7

XX               1                   C8

Through MIGO to consum the material 1 . batch XX and code A1

Thanks a lot

The batch is your internal separator and shall represent the code that you are looking for, hence you need 3 batches in your scenario.

Why don't you just use A1, B7 and C8 as batch numbers? It is quite possible with external batch number assingment.

Hi,

You can use EAN no with same material. Particular EAN stock can get easily.

Otherwise you have to use configurable mateial, or we can say variant mateial in material master.

you can search the details.

Hi Maria

Did you looked at MPN functionality available in SAP -http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06_hana/helpdata/en/10/14926e47b66d4ba60e37b8c9f500b3/content.htm

Please note this not a correct answer but reference for you to read and explore the solution

Hello Maria,

If I am getting your scenario correctly, you have ascenario where your material number is different then vendor material number..right? If this is the case then you have two options...

1. Maintain the material number in Purchasing view of material master in field "Mfr Part number' table MARA, field MFRPN

2. In the purchasing inforamtion record you can also fill this field 'Vendor Mateiral no', field IDNLF. This is going to be 1-1

I hope this will resolve your issue.

Thanks,

are  you  maintaining  stock  separately .If  yes  then  split  valuation  will  be  helpful  .

[Former Member]

Hi Anil.

Yes, we have split valuation , but this type of material have to be " Non valuated material"

Maintain  the  client  material in  OLD material  number  in Material master

At the  time  of  MIGO or MB1A  , they  can  search through  client  material  code .

[Former Member]

Hi Anil,

In this case we have one numer number with one cliente number. ( 1-1 relation)??

We need for example:

Material 1 -  A1 code

Material 1 -  A2 code

Material 1 - A78 code

After the consumption,, we need to identify when the code A1 ( Material 1) was consumed?

Thanks!

Hi Maria,

For 1-1 material link, you can use Vendor material number.

1. Enter vendor material number in PIR.

2. That vendor number field will be captured in PO via PIR. Under 'Material data' tab item level.

3. This vendor material number gets captured in MIGO screen in items.

4. This vendor no. field can be reflected in MIGO-MB1A via some development. Need to check

5. To check for stock or to search the vendor material number. This field is available in F4 search items and can be viewed in many reports like ME1M.

2nd option is to go for manufacture part no. but to use it you need to activate it in custimization.

My suggestion is to go for vendor material number.

Kindly let me know if any query.

Hi Priti,

We don´t need 1-1 link, we need for example, one material (MM01) and three diffrerents code.

It´s like a serial number but it is random.

Thank for you help

1  Maintain the  client material  no  in Old  material no

2 When  they  are  issuing   through MB1A or  MIGO  , they  can  search through  old material  number (client Material  number )
