Old Number in Plant Specific Table- MARC

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I understand that Old material number is at client level in Material master. Our client has 21 plants and each plant has its own legacy system. Hence they have different Old material numbers plantwise. This Oldmaterialnumber is to be tracked in the system, till cutover phase, since initial stock upload will be done based only on this. Is there any field in Purchasing or anyother Plant specific views, to populate this data. Ifany of you have come across this scenario, please let us know. We wish to avoid developments on this front.

Thanks,

Tushar/S. Satish

Hi,

There is no field available in MARC table where you can store old material no. If you don't want to add a Z-field in Material Master screen then in that case you can create a Z-table with SAP Material Code, Plant and Legacy Material Code and store in system which will involve less effort from development side.

Hi Satish ,

Old Material Number field (MARA-BISMT) is company code level...its not a plant level field.... you can utilize any other field ,that should be plant level & that is not utilizing in material master.........................

classification is standard.

you can create a class old material number

and characteristic for each plant e.g. oldmatplant1234; oldmatplant 2345;

so you finally have 21 characteristics in your class

and you then enter the old material number to its corresponding characteristic.

search via classification is a standard feature embedded into material search.
