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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

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

MM-SRV: Adopt Material Group from Service Master instead of default in SPRO

At my current client we are encountering a problem when creating requisitions for services. When the system was originally configured years ago, a default value for material group was entered in the IMG under:
Logistics > Materials Management > External Services Management > Source Determination and Default Values > For Client
Field is "Default material group at item level" (V_T165-MATKL)
Up to now this singular default value was fine because they only had one material group for services. They are now wanting to further stratify their services spend, so there are now several additional values for Material Group that can (and are) used among their service master records. Having a single default value for Material Group is resulting in incorrect reporting of spend per Material Group.
I removed the default value in the config node stated above, but now the problem is that when creating a requisition line for services (item category D) in ME51N, no value for Material Group comes in at all, resulting in an error because Material Group is a mandatory field. Making the field optional on the Field Selection Groups is not a valid solution, as they need Material Group for spend reporting.
What we really need is for the Material Group to be automatically copied over from the service master data, in the same manner that this takes place for the material group contained in a material master.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Hi,
1) If service master is used in the PO item, then the system will take the
material group from the service master (AC01).
2) If no service master is maintained then the system will take the
material group from the table T023. To be able to change this material group on services level - if you want a different material group on services level, you must set the field ESLL-MATKL for visible in the table control settings, and the change of the service group must be carried out manually.
Please be advised that it is the standard behaviour that the material
group on service level is not updated automatically after you have
changed the material group on purchasing level. The material group on
service level must be adjusted manually.
3) By default for service lines the system will consider the material
group which is entered at the Item level.
Services can have different material groups, therefore you can change
the material group at service level. The material group in service line
can be different and always takes higher priority from the material
group at the item level.

Edit

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
