Material master data validator

Extended validator for Material master data

The validator allows you to define mandatory components and expected values for fields of these components.

Components are:

• Sales organisation data in table MVKE
• Plant data in table MARC
• Storage location data in table MARD
• Accounting data in table MBEW
• BOMs
• Production versions and
• Production recipes.

Setup

Rules are defined in these customizing tables:

Table	for
ZLINT_MAT_WPARAM	Plant parameters
ZLINT_MAT_MVGR	Sales material groups
ZLINT_MAT_VPARAM	Accounting (Material valuation) parameters
ZLINT_MAT_LPARAM	Storage location parameters

Validation

Validation takes places in two steps:

• in realtime when maintaining the material master data in transaction MM01 or in transaction MM02
• in a recurring job

The first steps just validates the expected field values (class ZCL_IM_MATERIAL_CHECKS) for the views the user actually edits in transaction MM01 or MM02. The class ZCL_IM_MATERIAL_CHECKS can't validate views, which the user omits or other components like production versions. The recurring job does a overall validation for all components and expected field values. The following programs were implemented for the recurring job:

• ZLINT_MAT_MATERIAL_COMPLETE for validating the material with all its components
• ZLINT_MAT_RECIPE_CHECKfor validation production recipes

Out of the box validation

SAP ECC provides a out of the box validation for material master data, which is enhanced by the extended validator. With the out of the box validation you can define mandatory fields (transaction OMS9) and set default values for MRP parameter in the MRP profile (transactions MMD1, MMD2 and MMD3). In transaction OMS9 you edit the required or optional option for field groups and field references. Field references are assigned to material types, industry sectors or plants:
