External Material Group- how to find classes/subclasses

Do you know how I can find all the classes or subclasses that are listed on an external material group?
I know how to check all the external material groups that are on a class, but not vice versa.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I ve never worked with external material groups.
But I know that they are defined and stored in table TWEW.
And when used in a material master, then the external material group is stored in material master table MARA in field EXTWG.
the field in TWEW is 18 characters long, and how you define the usage of this field content is up to yourself.
how does this link with classes/subclasses? do you use classification for assignment of external material groups?
or do you just mean these external material groups have a kind of structure in your system like class and subclass (which then would jsut be a text in table TWEW as well)

Difference between material group and external material group

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
Thanks

Hi Raghunandan,
Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
Material groups are Extensively useful during :
Limit the Scope of Analysis
Reporting Purpose
External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it

Material list by "External material group"

gurus
I'd like to retrieve materials which has particular "External material group".
But in MM60, there is no selection field for "External material group".
Other than SAP query, is there any way?
Yoshi

Well, you can restrict SE16N t-code for security reason.
But you can give the SE16 t-code to view the table (basically to MM users).
If you want to give only table access MARA, then you can give it via a t-code.
You can only give the MARA table view by a Z t-code, whenever user will enter the t-code, system will take him directly to the table (As per my previous screen shot). He can't select another table.
If you are interested with that, then I can give you the steps. But first, let me know if you want to go with this option.

'External Material Group MARA-EXTWG

Currently we are not using field 'External Material Group' (MARA-EXTWG , MM03, basic data 1 ) in Material Master.
Now we have a requirement where in we want to categorise material further other than then category defined in Material Group .
We identified this field as a potention place where in we can define our new categories.
I just want to confirm, if we need some other configruation other than defining the master data for this field.
Is this field is being used in some process.
What other things can be affect with this fields in use.

Hi Pawan
External material group is for further subdivision of material. As per your requirement, you can use this field. There is no link with other module because it is a basic data view.

External Material Group (UNSPC)

We would like to use the External Material Group field on the Material Master to house our UNSPC Codes. We would then use the Material Group field to develop and In-house code that is more intuitive for our Buyer's to enter on Purchase Orders to better track Spend Visibility.
Can the External material Group field be used for this purpose? Will if cause any problems with upgrades in the future and or right no (we currently don't use the field)? Are there other companies who have suggestions on how they looked at their Spend Visibility for Procurement? Thanks!

Hi,
You should be OK to use the field as you indicate.
As for text based PO spend, I normally use one of two options. I either use material groups (as long as they are specific enough and as long as there are not too many of them). This comes with useful config help in the MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Entry aids for items without a material master ./ This config allows you to link a valuation class to the material group so that the correct accounts are used (and a specific purchasing value key).
The other option is to use material masters for the text POs, remember that you can change the text on a material master PO item and so you can then set up some basic material masters for things such as "It consultant", "Advertising campaign" etc. and then when the user enters the order they either change the text or add additional text on the item. This way you can then analyse the spend as normal, i.e. by material. It gives you a lot more functionality than simple items with free format text and you are more likely to be comparing similar POs than by just relying on free format texts where users will ALWAYS put things like "Temp" or "as authorised by Fred" etc.
You can then prevent users from entering free format texts and forcing them to use material masters and so you will at least have something to compare / reprot on.
I hope this helps

Material Group & External Material group

Hi,
Can u plz tell me what is the difference between Material Group and External Material Group?
Regards
Koti

Hi Reddy,
Material group
     It is used to group together several materials or services with
     the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
External Material Group
     You can use it to assign the material to a material group determined
     according to external systematics.

Relase strategy characteristic with several material groups

Dear Experts,
Actually I'm implementing the MM Module, 6.00 version and I have the following issue:
I created the release strategy Purchase Order, with these characteristics:
- Material group
- Net total purchase order
- Plant
The error consists in the Material Group characteristic don't run with several Material Groups. It seems that it could be possible only with one Material Group.
If you know how I could work the characteristics with several material groups, pleas tell me.
Thanks in Advance,
Adriana Corredor
MM SAP Consultant

Hello, Adriana,
it isn't clear what you mean by "characteristic don't run with several Material Groups":
- is it that you cannot enter multiple values in classification? Then check whether you chosed "Multiple Values" in "Value assignment" subscreen of characteristics maintenance, transaction CT04;
- is it that your release strategy isn't assigned to PREQ with several items with different MATKL values? It is neccessary to realize that if you use the coverall release of PREQ (which I guess you are using), the values of items has to be "summarized" (for purpose of release strategy assignment) into structure CEBAN "Communication Release Strategy Determination: Requisition"; the release strategy classification are then evaluated against this structure; if there is any field which differs for items, it is passed to structure CEBAN as empty; so either you have to have release strategy with MATKL empty, or you can modify the CEBAN content by enhancement M06B0001 "Changes to communication structure for release of requisitions", or you can prevent creation of PREQ with certain not-allowed combination of MATKL via user-exit or badi;

Matrix report with two across groups

Hi all,
I am facing a problem in making a multi line matrix report.
actually I need to make a matrix report with two "across groups", but unable to get desired result.
if any body has any idea, please share with me.
regards
Ata

No,
you must have only 1 query which extracts all your data:
A,q1,10
A,q2,20
A,q3,30
B,q1,40
B,q3,50
C,q2,60
C,q3,70
Open report builder and create a new report from wizard.
Select the first option accordingly with your requirements and go next.
Type a name for your report in the title field then select "Matrix" as layout and go next.
Select SQL Query and go next.
Type your query.
Select the data you want on the rows (i.e. A, B, C...) and click on the ">" button in the Matrix Row Fields section, then go next.
Select the data you want on the columns (i.e. q1, q2, q3...) and click on the ">" button in the Matrix Column Fields section, then go next.
Select the data you want on the cells(i.e. 10,20,30...) and click on the "Sum >" button in the Matrix Cell Fields section, then go next.
Add some totals, if you need them.
Go next and finish.
Now you have a report with the following layout:
         Q1           Q2            Q3       TOT
A        10           20            30        60
B        40                         50        90
C                     60            70       130
TOT      50           80           150       280Bye

UNSPSC Code Mapping with Local Material Group

Hi Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 SP05
We are trying to map UNSPSC Code with R/3 Material Group, which has been replicated to SRM. We have maintained the mapping table for UNSPSC with SRM Material Group.
We are using the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to change the UNSPSC with a corresponding material group and are modifying the internal table enriched_item_datacategory_id field. Though we are able to successfully change it in the BADI but the changes are not reflected in the shopping cart. Does anybody know why this happens? Is there an OSS note to resolve this problem?
Appreciate your great help
BR,
Siva

Muthu,
We have not done anything with MDM but as for CCM, I can tell what we have done...
In IMG: Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content Management, you can define your schemas and mappings.
When shopping through a catalog, make sure the SCHEMA and the UNSPC are passed in the OCI stream. If your scemas and mappings are straight-forward, then no addtional coding is required. However, if this is not the case, addtional coding in BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER may be needed.
I have seen in the forums that many have recommended custom tables and mapping code in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. However, I like to stick to standard as much as I can.
This may be simplistic, but I think it will help you get a idea on the CCM side. Sorry I could not help you with MDM.
Regards, Dean.
