'Change material' authorization by material type

Hi,
I want to restrict the u2018material creationu2019 and u2018change materialu2019 by u2018Material Typeu2019. We have a separate transaction code for creating Raw material MMR1. This tcode will be assigned to the user. The user should be allowed to change the material under material type u2018ROHu2019 only. The problem is we do not have a tcode like MMR2 for the change mode. If I authorize MM02, the user will be able to change all the material irrespective of the material type. Let me know how to control this.
Regards,
K Bharathi

Hi,
The material type can be controled through the authorization group in MM01/MM02.
The authorization object M_MATE_MAR checks the authorization group of the material type (T134-BEGRU). You will need to ensure that your material types are linked to an authorization group.
If you go into transaction OMS2 (maintain material types) you will see a field called 'Authorization group'. This is a free text field,
please, enter here something relevant.
Please see also the on-line documentation for the authorization object M_MATE_MAR (for example, in transaction SU03).
Regards,
Mauro

When i am changing the material type i am getting this msg. In Po items were deleted.

The material type cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Valuated stock exists (see valuation areas below).
However, account determination for the two material types differs.
(different account category reference or no valuation data defined)

No open purchase order are there.

How to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material

Hi,
There is an issue where user wants to change material type and industrial sector of the exsisting material .Is it posible to do so??
IF not ,how can we delete that material from material master so that another material with same number and required material type and industrial sector can be created.
Points will be definitely rewarded.
Thanks
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
You can change the material type in MMAM trxn code if the material dosenot conatain any open purchase requisitions, open reservations & open purchase orders. Also material stock should be zero.
Remember the new material type should have same attributes same as old material type.
OLD Material New Material
1) Standard Price 1) Standard Price
2) Manufacture part 2) Manufacture part
profile actvated profile actvated
3) Quantity & Value 3) Quantity & Value
Updation in all areas Updation in all areas
4) should have same GL 4) Should have same GL acs
acs
It is not possible to change Industry sector once created.
If you want to delete the Material, you can flag it in MM06 trxn code.

How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

Dear all,
How to avoid changing material type in MIGO & J1IEX ?

hii
i think u asking about the , if the material is excisable , then it will ask for material type , not all material type , onle like asset , raw material, consumable, non cenvatable , finished oods and tools.
There i hope its standard SAP system setting , because some time the if do consumable procurement with excisable material .
While doing Gr or J1IEX system will consider that material is capital item, that we cancahge to raw material and we can utilize the cenvate credit in the same year .
so it cannot be hide or making gray mode is difficult in practical.
So revert any clarification
Thanks

Change material Type - 'MMA'

I am trying to Change Material Type using T-code - 'MMAM'.But Message is coming PO already exist.
Problem is tat we have already created GIN for the PO & Reversed the GIN also,but still PO is not getting release to Change any data.It is giving error,that GIN already exist.
I want to Change the MAterial Type.How can i do that.??
Viru.

Please note that both the new material type and the old material type must have the
same characteristics eg. quantity based material management is one of
the characteristic. The R/3 Online Help provides a very good explanation
on all the pre-requisites before you can change a material type.
(Logistics Gen>Logistics Basic Data > LO Managing Material Master Data >
Material Master Record > Material Type > Change Material Type)
Please check if you have set the deletion flag for any PO's as
these need to be physically deleted for MMAM to work. You will also
need to check if there are ANY open items for this order. The purchase
orders need to be ARCHIVED. You should complete the invoice receipt for
this position BEFORE you set the deletion flag in the purchase order.
Also, if the material is already in stock, or if reservations or
purchasing documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be
met:
>The stock values of the material of the new material type must be
updated in the same G/L account as the stock values of the material of
the old material type.
>Quantities and values of the material of the new material type must be
updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities and values
of the material of the old material type.
>If there is a transfer requirement for the material and if quantities
of the material exist, the new material type must also allow the
material data to be maintained from the Warehouse Management view.

How to change Material Type

Hi All,
I have created new material type as ZINS ( Insurance spares ).
Now,I have to change ZSPR ( Spares) material to ZINS material type.
In system there are no liabilities for this material.But ,I am getting following error while executing T-code :-MMAM.
Error :- " Change Material Type
The material type cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
QM inspection data exists for the material. In this inspection data,
it is defined that a plan is required for the inspection. However,
inspection plans are not allowed for the new material type.
    Plant
    1100
    6001
Task lists already exist for specific TL types for the material
The new material type does not allow assignment of task lists for these TL types "
I want to know is there any settings required while creating new material type in quality module,as this error seems to be related to Quality module.
Please help,as this is very much urgent.
Thanks.
With Best Regards,
Rajesh

I want to change Material Type for mass upload.(MMAM)

Suggestion pls? or Any BAPI is availablre?

This may be little tough for 10000 sales orders.
1. You have to remove the output record for the irrelevant output record using tcode VV12 for the relevant document type. So now for the document type, the old output wont be triggered.
2. Now, create output records for hte correct output type in VV11 tcode(for the output type BA03) for the document type. Now this output will be triggered for all the document types you are creating from now onwards.
3. To trigger the output type BA03, in all the old orders, you just have to open these sales orders in change mode (VA02), and just save it. When u open it the output type BA03 will be automatically triggered as the master data is maintained in VV11. But because just opening all the 10000 sales orders in VA02 one by one be a mechanical task, you have to think of some tool for this.
May be a CATT procedure can do the trick. Else, you can just create a small program, where you can upload these sales orders and the program will just open these orders in change mode and just saves it (without making any changes). Then the output will be retriggered.
Here again, if you are printing the output directly, it is advisable to trigger the output in batch mode(Date/Time field is 1 in VV11), and then you can again trigger the printing again using the program RSNAST00 after office hours for these 10k orders.
I hope I answered ur query.
Pls lemme know if you need some more info. (You can reward me too...)

Changing Material Types

Gurus,
I have a situation. We have multiple Plants under different CC with common materials being traded between different Plants. A raw matl for one could be the FG for another and such similar cases. Now when I am trying to onboard a new Plant in my landscape, I notice that certain materials are FERT for me, but they have already been defined as ROH in the system.
We have agreed to change the Matl types to a new common one. Please tell me the steps and precautions to be taken while doing this activity.
Regards
Keshav

Use t.code: MMAM - for changing the material type but you change the material type in MMAM transaction automatically also the valuation class will be changed in material master. The system will take the changed material type valuation class which was created for that material type.
If valuation class changed, U have to take care of..
1) Valuated stocks in the current period or in the previous period.
2) Open purchase orders may be there.
3) Production orders which a goods movement has already taken place.
For this first you have to do the following:
If valuated stocks already exist, you can change the valuation class only:
1) Post the stocks of the material to an interim account.
2) Change the valuation class in the material master record.
3) Post the stocks of the material back to their original account.
If open purchase orders already exist, you can only change the valuation class if you first flag the corresponding purchase order items for deletion.
If production orders exist for which a goods movement has already taken place, you can only change the valuation class if you first set the status of the production orders to deleted

Change material type - any warnings?

A material with very little history exists in the system as a semi-finished item with 1220 valuation class. One purchase order exists that is due in, in two days. No inventory exists. The problem is that the system is not configured to post goods against 1220 valuation class items. So it needs converted to a finished good since the plan is to sell it after it is received from a vendor.
No open orders or other movements exist in the system. Just one new open po that was created today, and could easily be deleted.
So, delete the po then change the material type using MMAM.
Are there any recommendations/warnings someone can offer before this is done?

Hi,
Pre requisites for changing a material types:
1. If you use a material ledger the material ledger must be settled in it.
2.If the old material type did not require you to specify a price control for the material the new material type must not be configured such that it allows only
standard price as price control.
3.If the material is already in stock or reservations exists or purchase orders exists the following conditions must exist.
      1. The stock values of the new material types must be updated in the same
          G/L Account as the stock values of the old material types
     2. Quantities and values of the new material types must be updated exactly as were by the old material types.

Can we change material type after creation of material

hi all ,
can any body tell me how we can change the material type of already created material , i have a material type (do not use raw material) which i want to chage in raw material
please reply

Hi Manjit
Try transaction MMAM
It may not work if you have some differences in field selection between the old material type and the new material type (e.g. batch mandatory in old material type and hidden in new material type)
It may not allow processing if stock has already been posted

Changing material type for material with history

We needed to change the material type for an existing item with purchasing, inventory and sales history from HAWA to UNBW. We are trying to PGI the first receipt since the change, and are receiving an Account Determination error .
When I look at the material master set-up, I still see records in the MBEW table. UNBW items that are set-up that way from scratch do not have any records in this table. Is this what is driving my error?
I'm guessing that if it is not, there will be some discrepancy between the material, vendor, and capital asset order.
Any insight is appreciated.

even UNBW can have accounting views.
The problem is probably that you just changed the material type and did not change the valuation class in the accounting view accordingly. remove it, and try again.

Changing Material Type using BAPI

Hi All,
I am trying to change a material. I able to change many fields of the material except 'Material Type' using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.
Did any one used BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA or any other BAPIs to change the material type of a material? I do not want to develop BDC for the same as of now.
Thanks in advance.

Did you use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
Look also at this <a href="http://www.sap-img.com/abap/sample-abap-code-on-bapi-po-change.htm">Sample Abap code on BAPI_PO_CHANGE</a>

Functional Module or BAPI for changing Material Type

Hi,
There is a Transaction MMAM for changing the Material Type in SAP. Can anyone help me in figuring out a Functional Module which can change the Material Type like how MMAM transaction does. Is anyone aware of any FM or BAPI that can take import parameters as Material Number and New Material Type and change the material type to the New one.
I tried using the BDC but got some performance issues with it.
Thanks
Vinay

Could you please put some light on which part of the transaction MMAM is responsible in changing the Material type. I can understand that there may exist may checks in the Tx MMAM but I would like to know where is the material Type getting changed in the Tx MMAM. On going through the Tx MMAM I have across many forms and function modules but its difficult to track the form/Function Module responsible for changing the Material Type. Please help me in this.

MMAM - change material type

When we try to change the material type of a material we often get the following "error" messages:
The material type cannot be changed. The reasons for this are:
stock already exists in the following plants
purchase orders exists
We want to change the material type automatically (via program) but then we need to catch these errors ---> so we need a workaround to be able to change the material type.
Can anyone help us with this workaround ---> any known program/function/... for this issue?
Kind regards,
Lieselot

I don't want to create a way around these issues. I just want to put these actions into a program so we don't need to do them manually.
Kind regards,
Lieselot
