There are 2 ways to add views to the existing material master:
1. Go to mm01
- Enter the material for which you want to add the views.
- Then you enter the same material in copy from material
- Then you may find all the view
- Then select the views you want to add and make entries in the same view
and save it
All this is done in mm01.
or
You can mass extend views for a material in tcode mm50.
Select the maintenance status as V for e.g. if you want to add views of
sales.
2. If the default setting is done in the material of the material type then
you may not find the new views in mm01
If that is the case, then you go to spro >> log general >> mat master >>
basic sett >> material types >>
define attributes of materisl types.
- Select material type of the material in which you want to make the change
- Double click on the same, then on right hand side, you will find user
parameters under which you will find the views
- Select the view you want and save your settings
- Then go to mm01 and do the way it is mentioned in the first step.
