As a user who maintains master data, you can use the Copy Material program (transaction MMCC,
Material Master Copier) to create, enhance, or change multiple material master records in one step on the
basis of a material master record. When doing so, you can not only specify the reference material, but also
decide which data of which organizational levels is to be taken into account and which data of which
source organizational units is to be copied to material data of which target organizational units.

You can use the identically-named indicators here to specify which levels are to be considered when data is
copied to the target material.

If you do not intend to copy data for a certain level, that is, the relevant indicator is not selected, the
corresponding tab is hidden on the next screen.

No OData or Java Coding

W/o programming: Access your SAP GUI transactions like
PM, WM, SD & more on your Android

If data for a reference material does not exist at a level, the relevant indicator is deselected after a screen
change (for example, F8 -> and back).

Filter Settings: Selection of Organizational Units

In addition to selecting organizational levels, you can also flexibly assign the instances of these levels as
source and target organizational units according to your requirements:
:
 The organizational unit data of the reference material does not have to be copied to the same organizational
unit of the target material. For example, data can be copied from plant 1000 (source organizational unit) to
plant 2000 (target organizational unit).

In the case of the default setting (Apply User Setting indicator is not selected), the organizational units
from the reference material are proposed as source and target organizational units. Using the filter settings,
you can restrict or change the proposed organizational units.

The reference material can be copied to create completely new material master records or to change or
enhance existing materials.

Enhance here means adding data for another organizational unit to a material.

Change here means changing data that already exists for a material for one or more organizational units.
You can use the Do Not Change Existing Data indicator to prevent this, that is, existing data is not
overwritten. If data for an organizational unit does not yet exist in a target material, this data is created
even though the Do Not Change Existing Data indicator is selected.

Data can also be copied to the reference material. This means that a target organizational unit can be added
to the reference material from an existing source organizational unit.

The individual maintenance statuses are assumed by the reference material and reduced where necessary.

The authorization checks executed correspond to those authorization checks that are executed in standard
material master maintenance (MM01 and so on).

Selection
:
 Number Assignment

When target material numbers are assigned, both internal and external numbers can be assigned. In the case
of internal number assignment, users do not specify material numbers for target materials so that these
numbers are assigned internally. In the case of external number assignment, you (the user) specify the
material numbers of the target materials.

When copying the short text, you have the following options:

 If the Basic Data indicator is not selected, the short texts are not copied.

 If the Basic Data indicator is selected, the short texts are copied only when a new material is created;
otherwise the short texts are neither created nor changed.

 If the short text is copied from the reference material and not changed, the shorts texts are created in all
languages.

 If the short text is changed, the short text is simply created in the logon language of the user. Short texts
in the other languages maintained in the reference material are not created.

 If a short text is not specified, a short text is not created or changed.

When material master records are copied, the following scenarios can arise, for example:

 To enhance an existing material without changing existing data (and without creating a new material),
the indicator for the Basic Data level must be deselected and the Do Not Change Existing Data indicator
selected.

 To enhance or change an existing material (without creating a new material), the Basic Data and Do Not
Change Existing Data indicators must be deselected. The basic data is not changed in this case, however.

 To create a new material or enhance an existing material without changing existing data, the Basic Data
and Do Not Change Existing Data indicators must be selected. The basic data for an existing material is not
changed in this case, however.

 To create a new material or enhance or change an existing material, the Basic Data indicator must be
selected and the Do Not Change Existing Data deselected. The basic data is always copied in this case.

Activities

After you have called up the Copy Material report, you enter the reference material on the initial screen,
select the source data levels that you want to include, and filter the source organizational units you require.
You then choose the Execute pushbutton (F8).

On the next screen, you make entries for the target materials. The default values are taken from the filter
settings and user settings defined in Customizing. The user can overwrite these values. You then choose
Execute (F8) again. If you did not select the Test Run indicator (on the initial screen), your entries are
written to the database.

Results Output

The results of the copy process are output in the same way as in an application log. Errors, warnings, and
success messages generated are listed.
:
 All target materials are created, changed, or enhanced with the exception of those for which errors occurred
(for example, required field errors).

Constraints

Integrated material master data is not copied. This includes:

Classification data, document data in the document management system (DMS), configuration data, MRP
area data (MRP data is copied, however), quality management inspection types, sales conditions, bills of
material, routings, and production versions

No OData or Java Coding

W/o programming: Access your SAP GUI transactions like
PM, WM, SD & more on your Android

The reference material must not be changed while copying is in process.

The material type is copied from the reference material and cannot be changed.

Customizing

You can use transaction MMCU to access Customizing for the material master copier (Copy Material
program). In these settings, you can specify (on a user-specific basis) from which source organizational
unit to which target organizational unit the data is to be copied (for example, from plant 0001 to plant
0005). If “DEFAULT” is specified as the user name, the setting applies for all users.

Every time you access the material master copier, you can decide whether the aforementioned settings from
Customizing are to be used (Apply User Setting indicator is selected) or whether the organizational units
are to be proposed 1:1 from the reference material.

Enhancements

To enable you to influence the data copying process without modifying program code, a business add-in is
provided.

The BADI_MATERIAL_CC business add-in offers two methods for predefining or changing data on a
customer-specific basis.

The MATERIAL_ASSIGN_NUMBER method can be used to predefine material numbers for target
materials on a customer-specific basis. Note here that the number of rows created in internal table
MATNR_UEB corresponds exactly to the number of materials to be copied (import parameter
P_NUMMAT). For example, if you want to copy to 10 target materials, internal table MATNR_UEB must
:
 contain 10 rows. If this is not the case, material numbers are not predefined. The material number of the
reference material (import parameter P_MATNR) can be used to determine or create the material numbers
of the target materials.

The MATERIAL_CHANGE_DATA method can be used to change data for target materials directly before
it is updated. The data for each material is contained in the internal tables IDOC_CONTRL (IDoc Control
Record) and IDOC_DATA (IDoc Data Records) in line with ALE/IDoc technology.

After executing the program, you can change the material data as usual using the standard transactions
such as MM02 and MM17.

Customer fields are also copied automatically provided that the customer fields have been added to the
relevant database tables in append structures and ALE distribution has been enhanced accordingly as usual.
