Uploading Material groups.

Hi,
uploading "Material groups" is possible with LSMW?
I used uploading Material groups from excel with copying and paste functionality
but this take long time if the list of Material groups is very long.
Best regards

Of course can LSMW support you.
I dont think that there is a given BAPI, IDOC or batch/direct input, so you may need to do a recording.

  • Automatic upload of material group

    Hi
    My Source System - SRM.
    When ever a new material group is created i have to upload the material group manually.
    Very rarely material group is created so its upload is not schdueld in the process chain.
    So is there any way that when ever a shopping cart is created with the new material group the material group gets uplaoded automatically.
    Because of this there is always a risk that a shopping cart is created with new material group which ends up giving error Or is there any other way in which we can avoid error to occur.

    Hi Rohini,
    What I wanted to say is, include the infopackage for uploading material group into your chain before the loads of e.g. material master data or other transactional data where the material group is included. This is just the safest way to go.
    Basically you might need a separate chain where you include infopackages like the material group and include this chain as a subchain to you main chain or just run it before all other chains start.
    Hope it is clearer now!

  • Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

    Dear All
    Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
    We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
    We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
    Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
    Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
    So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and  Y number range for Material Group PIR
    But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
    Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
    Wanted to know
    - Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
    - Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
    Please let me know your views on this.
    Regards
    Shyam

    Hi,
    For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
    Message Type         INFREC
    Basic Type           INFRECMASS01
    or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

  • Upload material and contract data from file in CCM 2.0

    Hi guys,
    This might be a difficult one!
    We have the following situation in a Client:
    We are upgrading a Requisitite catalog (working with BBP 2.0)
    to a CCM 2.0 catalog.
    In Requisite, one can upload material- and contract data from a file (it is standard funcionality) into the database.
    We need to have the same kind of funcionality in CCM 2.0 because our client does not prefer to work with XI (which is the standard SAP solution in these cases).
    How can we accomplish this? maybe with some additional ABAP coding!
    Our client is not working with Vendor Catalogs but I´m trying to see if we can use a dummy vendor catalog to accomplish material upload in CCM2 form a CSV file.
    Anyone had to face this situation before?
    If so, please provide some clues how to do it?
    Thanks in advance,

  • 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.

  • Material group GUID - related to SRM-CCM

    Hi,
    This is related to CCM.
    Can you please tell me, If the material group description is changed the Guid related to the same material group is changed or not?
    If the GUID is changed with respect to change in material group. Then where can i get the relation of guid to material group
    Thanks

    Hi
    Check table crmd_link
    where we have GUID_HI and GUID_SET
    here there is a relationshhip maintained for header and item level guid link .
    GUId are created when we upload the material groups an material numbers if there is a change in  description of the material number or material group the guiod does not get changed as it an unique id based on the material group number which is a primary key
    Description in general are never a primary key .
    either in back end system or in SRM system.

  • Material Group to GL Assignment

    Dear Experts,
    Where can I find the Material Group assigment to GL account assignment?
    We using this mapping while creating purchase requisition, When user chose the material group, GL account appear automatically depending on this map. But we want to change the mapping.
    Thanks all in advance.

    Hi
    As far as my knowledge goes -
    Valuation class is linked to Materials and is linked to GL accounts for various types of transactions in Materials like Upload, Receipt, Issue to production and so on.
    Material type is the highest level of definition for Basic decisions on Material accounting.
    In case you want to know the Material accounting - automatic account assignments for material transactions in FI, please see OBYC.
    It is a very vast configuration, please print the help of this OBYC from MM customising and then see the settings.
    Hope this is will of use to u.

  • Realtionship Material Group - Hierarchy

    Hi experts,
    I am developing an ABAP program that takes de material hierarchy from table KLAH and writes it to a text file. The problem I have is that I could not find the relationship between material group and hierarchy level. This what I've tried so far:
    Looking for a table with such relationship - Did not find
    Looking for a function module that can give this relationship - Did not find
    Use ST05 and the run transaction WGUS - It gave me just tables KLAH, KSSK, MARA but I am not able to find this relationship using these tables..
    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    I have used the bapi BAPI_WRF_MATGRP_CHANGE for uploading the material in a retail project,
    You can change an existing article hierarchy, delete it, or insert substructures. The functionality applies to the hierarchy, the language-dependent texts, and the articles.
    Using the parameter HIERARCHY_DATA, the data for identification of a header record of an article hierarchy is transferred. This data consists of the hierarchy ID and the node. In addition, you have to set the indicator CHANGE for control of the functionality of the BAPI.
    Here you can get the required relationship.
    Hope this is of your help.

    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

  • Regarding Condition record in CRM using field MATKL (Material Group)

    Hi All
    Currently we are working in SAP CRM 5.2 and it has been connected with backend ECC 6.0.
    This scenario is about Pricing which has been maintained in ECC and inturn flows to CRM with few filters in place.
    There are few customized Condition Tables in ECC with combination of Sales org./ material group for which discount has been maintained.  A proper condition record is also available for this Condition table and it has been assigned to a access sequence and inturn assigned to a condition type.
    All these procedures, condition types, access sequence has flown from ECC to CRM.  And all the condition tables are active in IMG (Basic Functions / Pricing / Define Settings for Pricing / Create Condition Tables)
    When i check in
    (SAP menu / Master Data / Prices and Conditions / SAPCND/GCM - Maintain Conditions )
    Application - CRM,
    Maintenance group - PRODDISCOU,
    Maintenance context - GCM

  • Material group is not updated in EINA

    Hi Experts,
    We are having a situation for EINA table. Whenever a PIR is created with reference to material, its material group is copied from table MARA to PIR, but it is not being updated in EINA table. Where as if PIR is created with refernce to material group (wthout specifying material number), that time material group is visible in EINA table. We are having ECC 5 system.
    Any pointers on this is very much appreciable.
    Thanks,
    Milind

    Hello Milind,
    Info records are kept in table EINA, either by material or material group. That is, either EINA-MATNR or EINA-MATKL is filled.        
    Never both!! Due to the fact that the field EINA-MATKL must be blank material info records with NO material master a search on this field   would require a lookup on the material master for each EINA record to find the corresponding material group. 
    "The field Eina-matkl is not to be updated because it could be changed  in material master. Therefore the solution is to initialize the field in case of inforecord with material master. This solution I described is in note 93886. You will see the material group when you display the inforecord but it is not stored in EINA.                               
    see note 444058 and 93886 ...
    Thanx & Regards,

  • Authorizations for materials and material groups

    Hello experts,
    Is it possible to limit the authorization to make purchase requerisiton of some materials or material groups depending on the user?
    I heard that it is possible be able to update some materials using the authorization M_MATE_MAT and including them in the material master, material group and user. But this also works for the creation of purchasing documents (PR,PO,RFQ,...)? Do I have to include this authorization for all the materials? If they do not have I understand that works for every people.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Best regards,

    Hi Madii,
                 actually Authorization works at the object level, i.s if you have provided the authorization for the user to makePR with certain Material Grp, then if you dont define that grp in the PO role, but still user will get the authorization from the PR role.
    why you want to allow the user to make the PR of certain Mtrl Grp for which he should not be making the PO.
    or let a different Body take care of the other mtrl Grp.
    Hope it helps.

  • Stock report for single material contains different material groups

    Hi Experts,
                  I have a scenario.I want to maintain material group for a material at the time of po creation.In next time i will maintain different material group for the same material.
                   But I want to view the the stocks for material group wise which i entered in po.Is it possible to achieve this?
                  Please suggest solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Deepika.

    Please read the KBA document  2012912 - Changeablility of the field "material group" in purchasing documents
    It clearly says that material group can't be changed in case you will use material master in purchase order.
    So, it is clear that you can't use different material group for material master in purchase order.
    For stock report, system will only show you the material group which is assigned to the material master (MARA-MATKL). System will not look into the purchase order section (like EKPO).
