Capítulo 4 Planteamiento general
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Create a new material type
• Set up a new field selection for your new material type and a new material status
Business Example
A new material type is needed in plant 1000. Because the old material number from the legacy system is very important, it is to be turned into a required entry in SAP ECC. A new material status should only allow the maintenance of BOMs with a warning message.
Task 1:
Add a new material type MA## (## = group number).
1. As a template, use the material type for the finished product FERT. Change the description of a new material type in group ##. Save the newly created material type before processing further.
Account assignment is to be according to account category reference 0009, the same as for material type FERT.
2. Note the following specifications for the new material type:
- External and internal purchase orders are allowed.
- Externally assigned material numbers should not be checked against a number range.
- Cost estimate with quantity structure (BOM, routing) is allowed.
For materials of this material type, the following views are allowed to be maintained: Work scheduling, accounting, classification, MRP, purchasing, costing, basic data, storage, plant stocks, and storage location stocks.
Task 2:
Check the number assignment for materials of your material type.
1. Make sure that the number assignment for materials of your material type MA## uses the same number range group as for the template material type FERT.
Task 3:
Material type MA## is used for the finished products that are copied from an external system. The following material fields are to be required fields for material type MA##:
Material description Field name complete
Old material number (MARA-BISMT)
Material status (cross-plant) (MARA-MSTAE)
You can see the data for the individual fields that you want to change by using the field help (F1 or Help icon) and choosing the Technical Information button or the Technical Information icon.
1. To which field selection group do these fields belong?
2. When you create a new material master record using the copy function, are the contents of the fields copied?
3. What other fields belong to these groups?
4. Copy the field selection reference Z## with reference FERT, and define the fields mentioned above as required fields at the same time.
5. Now assign the field selection reference Z## to your material type MA##.
6. Test your setting by creating a material T-A## with material type MA##
(basic data views 1 and 2 only and work scheduling for plant 1000). The old material number for this material is your choice. Use material status 02 on valid-from date <today>.

Solution 4: Material Types, Field Control and Material Status
Task 1:
Add a new material type MA## (## = group number).
1. As a template, use the material type for the finished product FERT. Change the description of a new material type in group ##. Save the newly created material type before processing further.
Account assignment is to be according to account category reference 0009, the same as for material type FERT.
a) Creating a new material type:
From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Tools→ Customizing→ IMG
→ Edit project (SPRO).
Choose Display SAP Reference IMG (F5).
Choose Logistics general → Material master →Basic settings → Material types → Define attributes of material types.
Select material type FERT.
Click Copy (F6).
2. Note the following specifications for the new material type:
- External and internal purchase orders are allowed.
- Externally assigned material numbers should not be checked against a number range.
- Cost estimate with quantity structure (BOM, routing) is allowed.
For materials of this material type, the following views are allowed to be maintained: Work scheduling, accounting, classification, MRP, purchasing, costing, basic data, storage, plant stocks, and storage location stocks.
In all plants (valuation areas) the quantities and values for materials of this material type should be updated.
The valuation of all materials of this material type should be binding (that means not changeable) according to the valuation procedure moving average price.
a) Check all points according to the task set, and change if necessary:
• Name
• Description
• Internal/external order = 2
• User department (like FERT, but without forecast, QM, warehouse management, and sales)
• Quantity/value update: 1 flag each
• Valuation: Price ctrl mandatory
Task 2:
Check the number assignment for materials of your material type.
1. Make sure that the number assignment for materials of your material type MA## uses the same number range group as for the template material type FERT.
a) In Customizing, choose Logistics general → Material master → Basic settings → Material types → Define number range for each material type.
Choose Change groups (F6).
Your material type should already be assigned to group 1 (the same as FERT). If not, select material type MA##, select the group to which material type FERT belongs and choose Assign element / group (F5).
You may want to display the assigned number ranges here, too: choose Maintain (Shift+F5).

Task 3:
Material type MA## is used for the finished products that are copied from an external system. The following material fields are to be required fields for material type MA##:
Material description Field name complete
Old material number (MARA-BISMT)
Material status (cross-plant) (MARA-MSTAE)
You can see the data for the individual fields that you want to change by using the field help (F1 or Help icon) and choosing the Technical Information button or the Technical Information icon.
1. To which field selection group do these fields belong?
a) Setting fields as required entry: First you determine the numbers of the field selection groups. For this, choose Logistics general → Material master → Field selection: Assign fields to field selection groups in Customizing.
Field selection groups (search by field name) MARA-BISMT: 11
MARA-MSTAE: 155
2. When you create a new material master record using the copy function, are the contents of the fields copied?
a) The contents of the fields is copied on creation, because the reference indicator (default field content) is set.
Select the field and click on Detail or double-click on the field names.
3. What other fields belong to these groups?
a) Display the field selection maintenance in field group maintenance.
Find these fields in the Field groups table:
MARA-BISMT: 11
4. Copy the field selection reference Z## with reference FERT, and define the fields mentioned above as required fields at the same time.
a) In Customizing, use the menu path Logistics general → Material master → Field Selection → Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens or click the Field sel. maint. button in the previous exercise.
b) Copy a field selection reference with the new name Z## and set it up so that the fields named above are displayed as required entries. As a template, use the field selection reference for the finished product FERT.
Select the line FERT and copy it to Z## (choose Edit → Copy as, or corresponding pushbutton, or F6).
Name Z##
Line 11 Required entry
Line 155 Required entry
Enter and save.
5. Now assign the field selection reference Z## to your material type MA##.
a) Assign the field selection reference Z## to the material type MA##, while you assign the field selection Z## to the material type.
In Customizing, choose Logistics general → Material master → Basic settings → Material Types → Define attributes of material types and then Change.
The field reference is Z## instead of FERT.
6. Test your setting by creating a material T-A## with material type MA##
(basic data views 1 and 2 only and work scheduling for plant 1000). The old material number for this material is your choice. Use material status 02 on valid-from date <today>.
a) Choose Logistics → Production → Master Data → Material Master → Material → Create (general) → Immediately.
