Issue with new attributes added to data model in MDG 6.0

[ramanarayana_kuricherlapa]

Hi Gurus,

We are using MDG 6.0 for our customer.  There was a requirement to add more attributes from Costing View; Work Scheduling View; Foreign Trade Export and Import view of material master to MDG Data Model.

After adding we came across an issue with "Material Orgin" field, though we have not maintained the accounting or costing view in MDG CR system triggers message to maintain "Material Origin" field, raised OSS message and reply was to make the material origin field option in ECC or maintain it.

Before adding these attributes system never asked to maintain this field.  Can you advise removing which fields from the data model we can ensure this message is not triggered.  Following is the list of fields from costing view added to data model.

HRKFT

Origin Group as Subdivision of Cost Element

KOSGR

Costing

Overhead Group

EKALR Material Is Costed with Quantity Structure 

PPRDZ Period of Future Standard Cost Estimate 

PDATZ Fiscal Year of Future Standard Cost Estimate 

LFMON Current period (posting period) 

ZPLPR Future Planned Price 

NCOST Do Not Cost 

AWSLS Variance Key 

FVIDK Production Version To Be Costed

LOSGR

Lot

Size for Product Costing

I have already removed Lot Size for Product Costing; Future planned price and also price control, but still issue is not resolved.

Do you suggest any other alternative.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rama

The only reason Material Origin would not be mandatory, but is since you've added some fields is that the fields you are creating are on the same view. You are now creating the view for that material so all mandatory fields on that view (e.g. Material Origin) must be filled.

Material Origin is in costing view 2 if I am not mistaken.

So you will have to remove all fields from the Costing View, and therefore not create the costing view for the material, to stop the issue if you do not want to make the material origin field optional in ECC or maintain it.
