/PACG/ECM_ITYPE – Material Group and Company assignment

General purpose

Define the material types relevant for transfer to FSM and material type-dependent settings.

Sending transaction (?)

/PACG/ECM_TRIG_ITEMT - Item Type

(S4)PACG 200 SP09 You can navigate to the sending transaction using the button Send to FSM, placed on the toolbar.

Object assignment (?)

Object ITEMTYPE must be added to /PACG/ECM_NOAS - No Object Assignment for a given company

Customizing options

New label (S4)pacg 200 SP10 OnlyIfOnStock

Old label Storage Dep

Send to FSM only materials for which stock in FSM-relevant storage locations exists, or if material is used by any customer consignation.

For FSM Cloud Connector versions (S4)pacg 200 SP1-SP10 this option would enable transfer of materials without sales organization data, as described here: /PACG/ECM_ITYPE – Material Group and Company assignment | Plant dependent material. For (S4)pacg 200 SP11, a new field - ‘Plant-dep.’ is used to manage this functionality. Execution of the setup program automatically enables the new field for all material types, where ‘Storage dep.’ was active, to ensure backwards compatibilty.

(S4)pacg 200 SP11 Plant-dep.

Allow transfer of materials without sales data, as long as they have plant data maintained and one of the below conditions is met:

This does not impact sales area-dependent materials. In transaction /PACG/ECM_EOAS - Object Assignment, ITEM should be assigned to SALES AREA. The plant-dependent option assumes that both sales and plant-dependent materials can be sent to FSM at the same time. Additionally, it should be ensured that MDOC object is assigned to the allowed plants in transaction https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/31952576.

See an example: /PACG/ECM_ITYPE – Material Group and Company assignment | Plant dependent material

Inventory Type

Indicates if materials of a given type are inventory items.

Purchasing Type

Indicates if materials of a given type can be used for purchase orders.

Sales Type

Indicates if materials of a given type can be used for sales order.

GenZero

Material with this Checkbox will be sent to the cloud even when there are certain views missing in SAP. The stock value is set to 0-

AddToText

This text will be added to the short text of a material. It can be used in the App to improve the search for material.

Del Out Material

Delete material if replacement exists.

If enabled and the following conditions are met, material is sent as soft deleted (or not sent at all if it had never been sent before):

  • effective out date in the past (MARC-AUSDT)

  • follow-up material exists (MARC-NFMAT)

The plant used to check these properties is the one set as default for the MDOC object for a given company.

Send Attachment

GOS-File Attachments (General Object Service) to a Material will be sent to the cloud.

Send Vendor

Vendor assigned to a Material will be sent to the cloud.

Send Owner

Owner assigned to a Material enables three options: Do not send, All items, Items with stock.

NEW Remark Source

Depends of chosen option it is possible to send material from SAP, to FSM item Masterdata with different remarks:

  • Sales text

  • Basic text

  • Do not send remarks

This information will be taken from SAP MM and save in FIELD remarks in FSM Item Masterdata.
Example:

 

 

Add. screen for Rmat / Old label RM TrP

When the Reserved Material field ‘TrackPartEquipmentUsage’ is set to TRUE, it will trigger the mobile application to redirect the user to the additional material screen, where they can interact with each part that has been created and enter more information, such as filling UDFs.

Decide whether the track equipment part flag should be set to ‘true’ for reserved materials sent to FSM. The available options are:

  • do not send Track Part flag

  • send the Track Part flag for all materials

  • send the Track Part flag for batch-managed materials

  • send the Track Part flag for serialized materials

  • send the Track Part flag for batch-managed and serialized materials

Please visit official FSM documentation for more information: SAP Help Portal - track part equipment usage

Please note that this field is available starting from 2202 Release.

Is Tool

 

 

Any material type flagged as 'Is Tool' will be sent to SAP FSM as a tool of the type 'item'. ​Tools of the type item can be viewed via the Master Data view in SAP FSM WFM.
If required, item tools can have user defined fields and attachments.​

Material’s serial type

ISTYPESERIAL property is no longer determined based on material type but for each material separately. During transfer of an item it is checked if it's serialized (serial number profile should be found in table MARC) and based on this the 'ISTYPESER' field in the idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_ITEM is filled. 

 

Plant dependent material

Some materials are not meant for sale and therefore are created only with plant/storage location data (no sales organization data).

 

Material without sales organization data will be transferred to SAP FSM if one of the following criteria are met:

  • the ‘Storage dependent’ field is set in /PACG/ECM_ITYPE for a relevant material type

 

 

Process example

Material 68, company 1, plant 1000, storage location 1030, sales organization data not maintained. 

 

The ‘Plant-dep’ field is enabled in transaction /PACG/ECM_ITYPE. Material’s storage location is maintained in transaction /PACG/ECM_WRHOUSE.

 

Transfer the material with the sending transaction. The material should be successfully sent.

  

If the ‘Plant-dep.’ field is unchecked in transaction /PACG/ECM_ITYPE, the material won’t be sent.
