Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Set up screen sequence control for material masters
Business Example
For special material types and user groups you have to set up the screen sequence control of material master records enterprise-specifically.
Task:
Creating a customized material master 1. Set up a
user-specific screen sequence Y# or Z# screen sequence grp.##
for material master maintenance.
Caution: Agree on the number with the other course participants!
Use
screen sequence 21 Ind-Std short TabStrips as the template.
2. From data screen 08 (Basic data 2) module Environment (2010) is to be copied to data screen 07 (Basic data 1). Then delete data screen 08 and call data screen 07 Basic data.
3. Set up the following order of screens for your screen sequence Y## or Z##, for example:
1. Screen 1 Basic data
2. Screens Material requirements planning 1 - 4 3. Screen 1 Work scheduling
4. Screens General plant data/storage 1 -2 5. Screen 1 Classification

I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y
The remaining sequence is not to be changed.
4. The screen sequence is to be valid for your user PI-## (or the user with which your logged on to the system).
Define a screen reference for your user (suggestion: call the screen reference with reference to your screen sequence number). Define a new screen sequence control for this screen reference for all material types and sectors of industry.
5. Check your settings by displaying, for example, the material master record T-RD2##.
Caution: Undo the changes from exercise part 4 with regard the following exercises.

Solution 5: Customized Material Master Record
Task:
Creating a customized material master 1. Set up a
user-specific screen sequence Y# or Z# screen sequence grp.##
for material master maintenance.
Caution: Agree on the number with the other course participants!
Use
screen sequence 21 Ind-Std short TabStrips as the template.
a) Customizing: Logistics - General → Material Master → Configuring the Material Master → Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence
Select the line for the screen sequence 21 and choose Edit → Copy As...
Overwrite the reference sequence HALB with your target reference Y# or Z# and choose Enter to confirm.
Save your screen sequence.

2. From data screen 08 (Basic data 2) module Environment (2010) is to be copied to data screen 07 (Basic data 1). Then delete data screen 08 and call data screen 07 Basic data.
a) Select your screen sequence and double-click Data screens in the dialog structure.
Select data screen 08 Basic data 2 and double-click Subscreens in the dialog structure.
Choose View data screen. Take a look at the simulation of the logical screen. Choose Cancel to exit the simulation.
Now select the subscreen with the Screen number 2010 and choose View Subscreen. The screen module Environment is displayed. Again, choose Cancel to exit the simulation.
Go to the Change View: Data Screens: Overview screen by double-clicking Data Screens in the dialog structure.
Select data screen 07 Basic data 1 and double-click Subscreens in the dialog structure.
Add the screen module Environment to this data screen by overwriting the screen number 0001 (= empty screen module) with the number 2010.
Choose View data screen. The screen module Environment is now copied to the data screen Basic data 1. Choose Cancel to exit the simulation.
Double-click Data screens in the dialog structure. Select data screen 08 Basic data 2 and choose Edit → Delete.
Change the screen description and the alternative screen description of data screen 07 to Basic Data.
Save your changes.
3. Set up the following order of screens for your screen sequence Y## or Z##, for example:
1. Screen 1 Basic data
2. Screens Material requirements planning 1 - 4 3. Screen 1 Work scheduling
4. Screens General plant data/storage 1 -2 5. Screen 1 Classification

I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y
The remaining sequence is not to be changed.
a) Customizing: Logistics - General → Material Master → Configuring the Material Master → Maintain the Order of Main Screen and Additional Screens
Select your screen sequence and choose Goto → Details.
Assign ascending numbers to the screens MRP 1-4, Work Scheduling, and Gen. Plant Data / Storage 1-2 in this order so that their numbers are between the numbers for data screen Basic Data and Classification.
Example :
MRP 1 → No.: 11 MRP 2 → No.: 12
MRP 3 → No.: 13 and so on
Choose Sort Main Screens. The screens are put in a new order.
Save your changes.
4. The screen sequence is to be valid for your user PI-## (or the user with which your logged on to the system).

I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y I n t e r n a l U s e S A P P a r t n e r O n l y
Define a screen reference for your user (suggestion: call the screen reference with reference to your screen sequence number). Define a new screen sequence control for this screen reference for all material types and sectors of industry.
a) Customizing: Logistics - General → Material Master → Configuring the Material Master → Assign Screen Sequences to User/Material Type/Transaction/Industry Sector
Double-click User screen reference in the dialog structure and then choose New Entries.
Enter the user name PI-## (or the user with which you are logged on to the system) in the first column and a two-character screen reference in the second column.
Suggestion: Call your screen reference similar to your screen sequence number Y## or Z##.
Save your entries.
Double-click Screen sequence control in the dialog structure and then choose New Entries. Enter the following:
ScnRef.
Save your screen sequence control.
5. Check your settings by displaying, for example, the material master record T-RD2##.

Caution: Undo the changes from exercise part 4 with regard the following exercises.
a) SAP Easy Access menu: Logistics → Production -Process → Master Data
→ Material Master → Material → Display → Display Current Material: for example, T-RD2##
Note the sequence of the views in view selection.
Choose the Basic Data view. The screen module Environment appears.
