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 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.

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.

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

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

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 change Material Type

Hi All,
I have created new material type as ZINS ( Insurance spares ).

In system there are no liabilities for this material.But ,I am getting following error while executing T-code :-MMAM.

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.

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

Material type for Vendors Returnable packaging material

Dear all,
I have a scenario where in i am recieving co2 gas from my vendor against a PO.
He is supplying it with cylinders i want to keep track of the cylinders and afetr using the gas want to return the cylinder to vendor.
Now the doubt arises, under which material type should I create this cylinder.
Doubt 1
I thougt of creating under the material type : LEIH, but this material type also contains the purchasing, accounting, sales view and same time in the config of the material type LEIH, value updating is not ticked, which is making me confuse.
Doubt 2
What I felt is, LEIH should be used for the our owns company returnable packaging material , which will go to the customer , but again for this also, these material should be valuated, since they belongs to our own stock , so why in standard SAP, value updation is not there.
Doubt 3
Keeping above 2 points in mind, what should be material type for vendor's returnable packaging material , where I want only qty tracking.
Regards
Nitin

You can copy LEIH and create your own Materia Type say ZLEI. For this material type you can have only General Plant / Storage Data1 view enabled.
Remember, there are 2 materials here:
1. Gas
2. Returnable packaging (cylinder)
You can receive gas on unit basis if you dont want exact tracking (ie in KG). Use any procurement material type.
When you create the PO only mainitan Gas as the material.
When you do the goods receipt against this PO, Click on RTP button, this will create a new line item, automatically and will suggest movement type 501+M. Here enter the no. of cylinders.
You will be able to track the movement of cylinders.

Change Material Type to Non-Valuated

Hi All,
I wonder if someone can assist in an issue we are encountering. Our client is looking to change the material type for one material from a Valuated to a Non-Valuated material.
We are aware that there must be no stock of the material on the system, that the material must not exist on any PO's and a similiar situation with reservations.
When we run MMAM for the material we are receiving the message "Costings for the material must first be archived".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can overcome this.
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

Thanks for the response.
I don't believe the Standard cost estimate has been released for this material.
Could you please tell me why this is necessary and the steps to take to complete the release.
Thanks in advance,
Micheal

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
