Manufacturer Part Number

Use
There are two ways of using the manufacturer part number (MPN) functionality with the Supplier Workplace: Using the MPN functionality available in the standard R/3 system: You can create purchase orders with MPNs. However, the system can only carry out the inventory management functions by using the internal material number. In the Supplier Workplace, the MPN and the external manufacturer is displayed instead of the material number. You can also carry out searching and sorting activities using the MPN.

Prerequisites
To use the MPN in the Supplier Workplace, carry out the following activities in Customizing: Activate the MPN functionality, under Logistics General -->Material Master --> Basic Settings --> Make Global Settings (Transaction: OMT0). Activate the conversion exit for the MPN, under Logistics -General --> Interchangeability of Parts --> Set up Conversion Exit for Material Numbers.

For more information, see: MPN functionality available in the standard R/3 system: In the SAP Library goto: Purchasing (MM-PUR)-->Further Functions-->Manufacturer Part Number (MPN).

Features MPN Functionality Available in Standard R/3 System

On activation of the conversion exit, only delivery fulfillment services show the result of the MPN conversion exit for the material number. Since the MPN functionality is not available for packaging, the Supplier Workplace services display only internal R/3 material numbers for packaging materials. The following list contains delivery fulfillment services in the Supplier Workplace that display the MPN instead of internal R/3 material number: Purchase document information (ISAUTO_SICPDI) Pricing information (ISAUTO_SICCO) Inbound delivery history. (ISAUTO_SICPH) Settlement status (ISAUTO_SICIV) Packing instructions (ISAUTO_SICPI) Process open schedule lines (ISIPI_CS) Delivery due list (ISAUTO_SICDDL1)

Please note that I would like to activate Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of SAP. I want to record MPN no of own material, Manufaturer detail in material master. This is for recording those details in MMR. The point is that when I activate MPN indicator in OMT0 then only mfr part number, Manufact, mfr part profile fields are appearing. What is the impact of it? Ans:- Activate the MPN in OMT0. In OMT3B, select 21 screen seq, and click on data screen, select purchasing and click on subscreen, and replace the screen no 0001 with 2313, then you will get the same in purchasing view for all material types. REAL TIME SCENERIO: When the parts are manufactured at a plant and procured at that time, in case if any defective piece is there or any problem arises, at that time, the vendor confirms the rejection for the Manufacture part number, so it is entered in the MMR. You can see the settings here also: SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing --> MM --> Define manufg,. part profiles, this is used to define the profiles.
