Material Master – an easy way to restrict maintenance of views

Home / Blog / Material Master – an easy way to restrict maintenance of views

Well, another day, another product.  ha ha ha.  I wanted to throw this out to you and see if you think it’s something that might be useful.  In the design of the new Proximity application, we’ve added a couple of options to that allow you update a single view of the material master, and can configure what fields are shown and in what order.

Right now, I’ve created the MRP views into 1 transaction, Work Scheduling and Forecasting.  These were the views important for Proximity, but I was curious if you might see an opportunity of this to be a simple product that your company might have use for.  Pumping out the remaining screens wouldn’t take too long.  Sales and Purchasing would be the only pieces with a new wrinkle, and that’s just because of the long text.

I’d love your feedback.  I’m curious because I know that you “can” handle much of this through security, but it’s my understanding that it’s a major PITA, and most security teams give a LOT of pushback to do this.  Yet, with the impacts of improperly maintaining the material master, seemed like it might a quick win to provide something like this.  We haven’t done any marketing materials or demo’s yet, but if you have any interest, let me know and I’ll be happy to give you a live demo.

As always, I appreciate your feedback and your support.
