Limit material group by material type

Hello experts,
When creating a material by tcode mm01 I would like to limit the material groups by material type, as it happens with valuation class.
It is possible? How can I achieve this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
JP

Hi JP,
You cant control this, since material groups are floating entities with no dependancies. You have to either create a screen variant in SHD0 (this doesnt support for a particular material type)  or chk with your ABAPer to wrte a code to achieve this.

  • Filtering R/3 Material Groups and Material Types

    Hi,
    I am trying to filter the Material groups and material types during master data upload from R/3 to SRM 4.0
    I am tried doing the following:
    1. In Txn R2AR2, i set up the request for DNL_CUST_PROD1 for MARA-MATKL(Material Group) & MARA-MTART(Material Type)and then run the Txn R3AR4 with DNL_CUST_PROD1. The replication was successful, but it pulled in all the R/3 backend material groups and material types.
    Now i deleted the replicated material types and Material groups in SRM using SRM Std reports and this too was successful.
    2. Now i tried another method - In Txn R3AC3, i selected the Object DNL_CUST_PROD1 and i added table MARA and set up the filter requirements for MARA-MTART(Material Types) and MARA-MATKL(Material Groups), i synchronized the filters and then when i selected the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 in Txn R3AS for initial upload, even this is pulling in all the material types and material groups from R/3 without filtering
    Can anyone please let me know the exact procedure to filter out the R/3 Material types and material groups during initial upload of this data into SRM 4.0
    Thanks

    Hi,
      Before starting the INitial load for MATERIAL,for filetr settings ,Go in tcode R3AC1.
      There select the Object name as MATERIAL and click on the "filter settings" tab.
    There in OBJECT FILTER SETTINGS
    Enter the relevant filter criteria:
    e.g. If you wnat to filter on Material type(MARA-MTART):
    The input will be as follows:
    Table /Structure :MARA
    Field :MTART
    OP :EQ Equality (= Low)
    Low: "Material type name"
    Incl/EXcl: Inclusive defined   
    And then click on the button "FILTER SYNC".
    The filter settings are complete for the Material download.

  • How to create material group in material master.

    hi guru's
    can anybody explain me how to create a new material group in material master.
    i wantto add a material group while creating material master MM01..
    thanks
    sap-mm

    Hi,
    In this step you create material groups.
    You also have the option of using the same transaction to carry out the following activities:
    Creating superior hierarchy levels
    Assigning the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
    Assigning the base material group to the material group hierarchy
    Assigning characteristics profiles below material group level
    Requirements
    Your R/3 System is configured as an SAP Retail System.
    Activities
    1. Create superior hierarchy levels
       You create hierarchy levels using transaction WG01 (creating
       material groups) via menu options MG environment --> Hierarchy
       level --> Create
    2. Assign the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
       You assign hierarchy levels to a hierarchy using transaction WG01
       (creating material groups) via menu options MG environment -->
       Hierarchy level --> Maint. MG hierarchy
    3. Create material groups (base material groups) and then maintain the
       pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material)
    4. Assign the base material group to the material group hierarchy
       You assign the material group to the hierarchy using transaction
       WG01 (creating material groups)
    5. Assign characteristics profiles below material group level
       You assign characteristics profiles using transaction WG01
       (creating material groups)
    Further notes
    When creating material groups and then maintaining the pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material) you should be aware of the following.
    As these materials can be created automatically using a minimum of data, you should follow this procedure with a check and possibly further maintenance, especially of plant-specific data. The material group reference material should be defined in as much detail as possible so as to keep the workload to a minimum when you have to create more materials for this material group.
    All hierarchy allocations involving a material group (base material group) and a higher or lower hierarchy level can be carried out on the initial screen (there is no need to switch to the detail screen). All further hierarchy allocations can be defined top-down when you maintain material group hierarchies.
    Only the material groups are transported automatically!

  • Infoobject - Material group: Packaging material

    Hello!
    I want to create an infoobject Material group: Packaging material. In 0material datasource there is a field MAGRV (I have it also in COPA datasource). I want to create an IO (what's the name?) with extractors, preferably get it from Business Content.
    I searched but no success? In SAP R3 the sorce table is TVEGR.
    Thanks
    Gorazd

    Hi,
    You can create the Infoobejct which is in the sorce table is TVEGR.
    1. Check the Object Datatype and length in TVEGR.
    2. Create the Object in BI side.
    Goto RSA1> Click on Infoobject> Create the Infoobject with the same datatype and length which are same in Source Table(TVEGR).

  • Both material groups and material types in search while creating SC

    Hi Guys,
    While creating a shopping cart ,when we are searching for materials that have been replicated in SRM we can search the material based on various parameters like Product ID ,Category ID etc.In SRM the Category ID is normally the material group.Now we want to search the material based on both,material group as well as material type.But i can have only one of these as my category.2 hierarchies R3MATCLASS and R3PRODSTYP exist in the system.But i do i make it work so that i can see both the material type as well as material group while selecting materials to shop.Is it possible??
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Pawan

    Hi,
    What do you want to see exactly in the Selection screen fro the Product search???In the Std screen,you already have the field called PRODUCT TYPE where you can enter '01'(hierarchy) and  '02'(Services).
    But if you want the field HIERARCHY in the selection screen,then you need to modify the Std search help exit(BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_PRODUCT_GEN) attached to the Std Product search help(BBPH_PRODUCT)  for  the SHOP tarscn
    You will need to create a Z search help exit(Z FM) and attach that to the Std Product search help given above.In the Z exit,you need to write the logic to display the reqd fields in the Selection screen.

  • Restriction on division, material group and material.

    Hi friends,
    current model,
    infocube details as below,
    0division, 0matl_group, 0material, currency, Base_unit, amount, quantity
    Bex PLAN Query as below,
    variables on 0division, 0matl_group
    rows - 0material
    columns - amount and keyfigure
    now when the user selects a perticular division from the variable then he should be able to select only those material groups which are allowed under that selected division and similarly material, only those materials allowed selected division and selected matl_group.
    I am talking about selecting from the variable (F4).
    currently all material groups and all materials are allowed to select after selecting a division..
    thanks in advance.

    thanks, i solved it

    Hi,
    What do you mean by 1 - 5 in this case. You can use transaction MM60 to get materials, material group wise.
    Please check if this transaction suffices your requirement.

  • Material group in Material master

    Dear All Warm greetings
    How to configure display of materials through material group? For end users
    Example when my user wants to view any material, system should only show the materials which he should as per material group
    Example while create Purchase requisition/Purchase order & display of material from MM04
    I tried by using parameter id in user profile, own data
    WGR & WM1 but doesnu2019t work
    Pleas advice me how can i process, Help he out with some solutions.
    Regards
    Shamulheq
    Edited by: shamulheq on Dec 22, 2009 7:52 AM

    Shamulheq
    I am a little unclear of your requirements.
    SET/GET parameters (from 'user profile own data') generally only work when the field is displayed on a selection screen for a program.  The parameter will then automatically populate the field on the selection screen. 
    As it happens, the two parms WGR and WM1 you mentioned are not used by any programs that I can see.
    MM04 does not contain material group, assigning a set/get parm to your userid wouldn't change much anyway.
    If you are talking about making it easier for your users to select a material, based on materials assigned to a material group, then you could try the F4 help on Material 'L - Material by Material group'  Here, you could enter the MatGrp and then have  displayed a list of the materials that are assigned to that group.  From this list the user could select the appropriate material.
    If you are talking about pre-populating the Material Group field in ME51 (probably other screens as well), try using parameter MKL in your user parameters.  You should log off/log on after changing a SET/GET parameter to see the effect.
    If you are talking about PREVENTING a user from displaying materials outside of a particular MatGrp, then you should consult with your authorization team to see if they can provide a solution.

  • Material group in material master for different plants

    Warm greetings Masters of Material Management
    We have one material master for three different plants example  1000, 2000 &3000 with same material group  with different valuation class
    If we change material group in plant 2000 it is reflected in 1000 & in 3000
    My question is  this the standard practice that material group changed in one plant will be reflected in other plants
    Regards
    shamul heq

    Thank u Amola  
    The current situation, if user change  material group for plant 2000, it is effected in plant 1000 & in 3000
    the impact of this is in purchase requisition
    As the release statergy  is triggered from material group    to different department
    How can we solve this issue

  • Inspection Lot for Material Group (without Material Code)

    Hello,
    We need to create Inspection Lots (either manually or automatically while Goods Receipt) without particular material reference. Scenario is that Vendors send the materials (as text, through some material group) and we need to inspect these materials.
    How is this possible?
    Puneet

    I hope you can also proceed in the following way:
    When a sample is received, create Notification and thru the Action Box Item you can create an Inspection Lot without Material Number as we normally do in case of Stability Studies...Please explore this option as well.

  • 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.

  • Free Goods from One Material Group to Another Material Group

    Salute Masters!! 
    I need your valuble suggestion, please provide.
    I need to configure Free Goods of Material Group to Material Group.
    User want:
    1) Free Goods from one Material Group to another Material Group, like F010 to F040
    2) User should have option to change from one Material Group to Other Material Group, which He / She want, like F010 or F020, F030, F040 any one of them.
    Suppose;
    Line Item Material Belongs to One Group Quantity in Gallons Free Goods from Any Material Group Quantity in Gallons
          1            A                                              3                                    F010                                             4
          2            B                                              3                                     F020

                                       from One Group      Total 10                   From Any Material Group
    (Comprising of 3-4 Different Material from 1 Group, they should be able to choose/provide Free Goods from other Material Group)
    3) While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
    How I can configure this scenario?
    Please suggest, is it  possible through KEY COMBINATION?

    Hi,
    if you want to give free goods from other group it can be possible only for EXCLUSIVE free good type
    In exclusive free goods, a material different from the orignal material can be specified as the free goods.
    Example: A customer who buys 200 crates of beer, gets 5 boxes of glasses free.
    In VBN1 >> Exclusive
    See column ADD FREE MATERIAL
    While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
    Maintain alternative units in material master >> Additional data >> Material master,BUT it is only main item
    Those item u want to give free that items unit is derived from free goods condition record and it CANNOT be change in order

  • Product heirarchy vs material groups in sales view

    Hi,
    Can I make use of the material groups(5 in toatl in sales view1) to generate report for seeing the value/sale of any material instead of using product heirarchy ?
    If I have created a 3 level heirarchy then how best I can use it to see in a report for any level.
    Is there any standard report availble to track my sales/inventory needs based on product heirarchy ??
    How can I track my purchases/open orders based on the employee resonsible for that material.i.e without having any HR module how can use the or create the staff of my company engaged in purchasing or for that matter selling also.
    May be I can use Purchasing group for each employee.But then I need to use the same employee as Sales person.
    How can this be achieved or any better option ??
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi,
    Have you considered using the partner functions to do this.
    Most organisations create a new partner type for saleperson (i.e. someone who earns the commision from the sale). This can automatically default if you have  the correct master data settings, or can be keyed manually on the partner screen of the sales order. (ask about how to do this on the SD forum, I am sure that an SD expert can tell you the details on how to do this.
    I definitely would NOT recommend considering using the Purchasing group, this is not a field to use for this purpose in any way.
    The material group and material hierarchy are fine to use for reports on WHAT was sold, but not who by etc.
