reg material uploading

[former_member633418]

Dear Gurus,

we are havng two plants A & B. We have already uploaded all the datas for plant A and by mistake we changed the materials type. i.e. For ROH we hve uploaded as semifinished material..and the whole process is finished..

Now we are tryng to upload datas for plant B. while uploadng the material, it is not acceptng ROH material. It is telling that roh is semifinished material laso n plant B...now how to change it to roh...? si there any link b/w the 2 plants...kindly suggest?

T code: MMAM

make sure that no open purchasing documents are existing

Hi,

Material can have only one material type irrespective of Plants. It is at client level not plant level.

So it will be better, if you first change the material type from HALB to ROH for the materials using transaction MMAM

You can write a LSMW for this or Ask your ABAPer to develop a small BDC for this.

HI,

Obviouly the system will display this error message, Usually what we do is that once the material codes are created in one plant we extend these material codes to another plant through MM01 itself to other plant keeping in mind the material codes will be the same.

Now you have changed the material type for the material codes generated through the upload. now if you use the same material codes then the system will tell this is not ROH material type.

You have to create a new set of material codes for second plant, or you have extend the same material codes in plant one to plant two with the same material types as well.

Thanks & Regards,
