Material status codes, Functions and Warnings

[Former Member]

Hello Friends

Our client is maintaining material status codes

For the following status codes, they need to know how they are set up, what functions do they block for, where does they give warnings and what is allowed:

MARA-MSTAE all status between 50 to 76

MVKE-VMSTA all status between 64 to 76

MARC-MMSTA all status between 50 to 76

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance

Ravi.

Dear,

you can go to the following configuration path and click the material status number and see which Area is blank mean no message, if it is B its an error message, if it is A its an warning message.

Logistics General > Material Master > Settings for Key fields > Define Material Statuses.

every company is defining their own statuses according to the requirement but when you double click the status if for example in Purchasing its B it means when this status selected then purchasing will not be allowed. there are purcahsing and BOMS, Material requirement, Production, Plant maintenance, etc... areas are there through which you can control the material statuses by defining messages, either no message, either error or either warning.

Statuses are customized to your needs. Nobody here can tell you how your status 50 is defined. you have to check this yourself in customizing of the status.

I can just tell your that a status maintained in MARA-MSTAE (general level) effects any plant while a status maintained in MARC-MMSTA effects only the plant where it is maintained.

MVKE-VMSTA effects only the sales organisation that has a status maintained in this field.
