Maintain user default settings when creating Material Master
Default values while creating Material Master.
Is it possible to define default values for certain
fields, while creating the material master?
I know about the MRP profile and the forecast profile.
I am looking for something similar for defaulting values for certain fields in
the basic view.
You can define the following defaults for each user with transaction code
OMT3U in 4.6c :
Default Industry sector (Industry only)
Where in the config can you default the Industry sector in MM01?
You can define that a particular industry sector is proposed whenever the
user creates a material master record. However, this setting cannot be made for
the material master for retail since retail is itself the industry sector.
You can hide the industry sector if you do not want the user to change it.
SAP will take the default Industry sector you specify in the IMG.
Goto your user profile, own data (tranx SU3),
click on [Parameters] tab, place
MTP under parameter and your desired
industry code, say M (for Mech/engr) in
values and save. You should see your default in mm01.
A second possibility is in MM01 directly.
In the menu Settings -> Industry (Default
-> Industry Sector 4.6c) you can enter your default and can even flag
a box that it should not be shown anymore.
In 4.6c, you have another choice, that is tcode
OMT3U where you can Maintain the user settings for the default
Industry
Sector.
So what you do depends on your preference and project cycle. If you have not
yet gone live, and all of most of the materials is of a certain industry, then
use the parameter option during user maintenance. If you have gone live, and
then maintain in MM01 for a default.
Organizational levels (Industry and Retail)
You can define for a combination of user and screen sequence the
organizational levels that are proposed whenever the user creates, changes, or
displays a material master record, and the organizational levels and profiles
that are proposed whenever the user creates a material master record.
Views that are preselected in the Select View(s) dialog box (Industry
and Retail)
You can define for a combination of user and screen sequence that certain
views appear as preselected in the Select View(s) dialog box.
Finally, if you create your material master record
by referencing to the other material number, then several fields will be
defaulted.
