QPPD-Customizing

Next, we set up QPPD customizing so that one or more QPPD objects are automatically created when a material is created.

It is not possible to synchronize the values from the material master into the associated QPPD objects.

The following steps are necessary:

Define spezification types

With the MM App it is possible to integrate the QPPD on the following three levels of the material master.

Level

Explanation

SAP Standard Table

Cross-plant

Contains central material master data (e.g. material number, description), valid for all plants → depicts the general identity of the material.

MARA

Factory-dependent

Plant-specific material data (e.g. disposition, storage) → describes how the material is used as a product in the respective plant.

MARC

Factory production version

Links material with bill of materials and routing → defines the production variant of a product.

MKAL

Corresponding spezification types must be created for all levels that are to be synchronized with a QPPD object.

Several spezification types can also be created for each level.

Setting up synchronization

Execute transaction /SCT/QP_CUST and select synchronization.

Syncobject

The following objects must be created:

  1. Sync object MM with class /SCT/QP_CL_SYNC_MM.

  2. Sync object QPPD with class /SCT/QP_CL_SYNC_QPPD.

  3. Sync object FDM with class /SCT/QP_CL_SYNC_FDM.

Syncmodel

Create the MM sync model with mapping class /SCT/QP_CL_SY_KEYMAP_MM.

Member

The following entries must be created:

  1. Syncobject = MM

    1. Seq. No. = 0

    2. Member type = MTART

    3. Range limit included (Including)

    4. equal

    5. Low = ZQP

  2. Syncobject = FDM

    1. Seq. No. = 0

    2. Member type = VART

    3. Range limit included (Including)

    4. equal

    5. Low = MM_FDM

  3. Syncobject = QPPD

    1. Seq. No. = 1

    2. Member type = OVART

    3. Range limit included (Including)

    4. equal

    5. Low = Material

Mapping

Create a new mapping with the following values:

Object types

Add the following entries:

Configure synchronization

  1. Call up transaction /SCT/QP_CUST again and navigate to material master functions:
    Applications → Material master → Material master functions

Define material type

A new entry is created with the following parameters:

  • Material type = HAWA (or the material type used)

  • Carrier Spec Type FDM = MM_FDM

  • Sync model = MM

  • Sync object = MM

Set up copy control

Select the newly created material type and open the Copy control tab.

Create the following entries:
