Documentation
Definition
Indicator causing the system to check required fields not belonging to the core maintenance status when you create or extend a material master record. When you change a material, the system always checks all required fields.
Use
From the fields transferred, the system determines the maintenance statuses to be processed by the program. The set of maintenance statuses for a field is defined by the user departments able to maintain the field (see table T130F).
The determination type depends on the transaction used. For the determination type set in the standard SAP System, the core maintenance status is the combination of all maintenance statuses of the fields transferred with one maintenance status each.
Example
Description Field name Maintenance status
MRP type MARC-DISMM D
Order unit MARA-BSTME E
In this case, the core maintenance status is DE.
If fields are now transferred that do not have the core maintenance status, and can therefore not be maintained within the core maintenance status, there are the following options:
- If the indicator is set, the maintenance statuses of the fields transferred are processed completely. This requires all required fields with these maintenance statuses to be transferred when creating a material.
- If the indicator is not set, the maintenance statuses of the fields transferred are only processed completely if no required fields are missing. If required fields are missing for a maintenance status, the maintenance status is not processed further.
Note
If, for a material master table, one status has been transferred completely and another not, since it is incomplete, the incomplete data is stored in the table nevertheless, since the entry has already been considered.
Procedure
Examples
Example 1
Description Field name Maintenance status
Base unit of measure MARA-MEINS All maintenance statuses
Material description MAKT-MAKTX All maintenance statuses
MRP type MARC-DISMM D
Order unit MARA-BSTME E
Competitor MARA-KUNNR KV
The core maintenance status is DE.
- If the indicator is set, statuses KV are processed in addition to core maintenance status DE. All required fields of these maintenance statuses must be transferred. If not, the system displays an error message in the corresponding transaction.
- If the indicator is not set, the competitor is transferred, but status V (sales) not processed completely since not all required fields have been transferred (for example, transportation group is a required field and has not been transferred).
Example 2
Description Field Maintenance status
Base unit of measure MARA-MEINS All maintenance statuses
Material description MAKT-MAKTX All maintenance statuses
Material group MARA-MATKL All maintenance statuses
Purchasing group MARC-EKGRP ED
You want to create only purchasing data for a plant. You transfer only general fields such as the base unit of measure and material group. You also transfer the purchasing group.
The system does not determine a core maintenance status since each field has more than one maintenance status. Since the purchasing group is relevant to purchasing data and MRP data, the system tries to process maintenance statuses E and D.
- If the indicator is not set, the required fields missing on the MRP screens are ignored.
- If the indicator is set, the transaction is flagged as incorrect.
Dependencies
In the IMG activity Define required field check for ALE / data transfer, you can define how this indicator is to be set.
