Setting Default values in Material Master

Hi,

 

You have following options for setting defaults, evaluate these and implement whichever suits (or in combination):

Option 1: On create material (MM01) screen from Menu path click on à Defaults à Settings

 

à Industry Sector

 

à Organizational Levels

\Here you defaults values for following fields.

Company Code                         

Plant                                

Storage Location                      

Valuation Type                       

Sales Org.             

Distr. Channel    

Warehouse No.                        

Storage Type       

 

Option 2: On a particular field (which you want to default) you can find out the parameter ID associated by clicking F1 (Help) and F9 (Note: F9 works if help is in model dialog box otherwise see Technical Info when you have help in performance assistance).

You can maintain default value for each parameter id in Systems à User Profiles à Own data. Transaction SU3 will be launched.

Click on Parameters tab and maintain the Parameter ID and value. (Be sure to enter Parameter ID all in caps).

This is available for selected fields only.

 

Option3: Use HOLD data SET Data method from System à User Profile à Hold data/Set data when user is running MM01 transaction and wants to save local and temporary defaults. Note that this is a temporary provision and specific to that logon session. It is useful when user needs to populate repeated data while creating material master one after another manually.

 

Option4: Use SHD0 transaction to make a screen variant/ Standard variant / transaction variant. This is very powerful solution, and it can default all in one go.

You can create multiple versions for specific variants so that specific defaults can be stored respective to ROH/ HALB/FERT etc. and use authorization to restrict use of the variant by identified users. (See more info on online help for transaction and screen variants)

 

Should you need more info, Contact.

 

Thanks & regards,

Manish
