How to assign a Sales Org and Product group

all the config have been maintained (creating the hierarchies/categories, assign the set types to categories etc.) under IMG->Cross-Application Components->SAP Product.
Also assigned the set type for sales data/product group for category MAT_DIEN.
But the fields from these section are greyed out when I try creating a product (not able to assign the sales org, or product group)
Edited by: Agarwal Ameet on Aug 9, 2010 9:56 AM

Dear Sun,
One way is:
Maintain the required setting in T. Code: VKOA.
Another way is:
Create an Internal Order (T. Code: KO01) with required Field-entries in
Tab: Assignment --> Profit Center; and
Tab: Period-end Closing --> Cost Center ( or G/L account).
and attach it to your Sales Order.
To know more about Internal Order Processing, refer:

Or, consult FI-Personnel at your end.

How to map Product Group for the Materials in BW.

Hi All,
We have an requirement for one of the report called as Progress validation Report.
We have to craete thsi repotr which would pulll out Inventory value, Production Plan value, Total Lates, Current week deliveries and WIP for a quarter.
Cube whihc provides details about production plan has data by Material, plant and product group wise.
But rest of the cube from which we extract the key figures does not have data by Product grop wise.
Product group is been picked from PGMI table in R/3.
How I can related the materials which are in other cube to the respective Product group.
Material and the relevant prdoct group data doesnot flows in BW.
There is even a scenario where ahve seen a material falls under 2 product groups..
PLease guide as how i can realted already existing materials in the Cube to the product group.
Points will be assigned
Thanks & Regards
Vaishali Patil

Hi,
Product Group is master data for material master. It is part of Matreial Clssification data in R/3.
Please check if you are having the same already loaded as attribute of Material master. I guess it will be there, if it s not there then you should try to load the same in material master object which you are using in all the cubes.
If the maintinenece in master data is nopt possible then you got to populate the same in cube.
There will be a combination of keys (materail/plant/prduct family etc.. ( for which Product group will be unique). then load product with the help of these key combinations in all the cubes via update routine.
There is one more way to have this but which is performance intensive.
You may create one master data object called Product Group and keep material number as attribute (with compunding all other key fileds to get the unique combination). Then you may create an infoset using cubes and this master data object. Join the materail numbers in all. Display this object in report.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,

Product group in COPA

Hi Gurus,
Can you plese let me know the procedure of creating 'Product Group' in COPA? I know this is very general question but I have no idea about this as when I went to KES1 and KEA6 I could find product Hierarchy but not prodcut group. I assume there is difference between both.
Regards,
Pushkar

Hi
   What is the difference between KMMAKL and MATKL characteristics when they are derived from the same table and field?
Will they be displayed with different names in COPA, like one as 'Product Group' and the ohter as 'Material Group'?
   My requirement is to have 'Product Group' characteristic in the operating concern. Right now, I see product group field in Cost Center to COPA assessment segments, but i am not able to populate it with material group.
   So should I add KMMAKL or MATKL, or can I add both?
Thanks in advance.

Add specific approver to SC with a certain product group

Hi SRM workflow gurus!
we'd like to add a specific additional approver (one person) to a workflow if a certain product group (e.g. "job safety") has been selected in SRM shopping cart.
For example
1.
a. requestor wants to order sth.
b. goes to approver 1
2.
a. requestor wants to order sth. with this specific "job safety" product group
b. goes to approver 1
c. AND goes to specific approver 2 who is responsible for "job safety".
Where can we do this? In the start conditions or do we have to create a new workflow for this issue?
Does anybody have a glue about how to realize this?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards,
Henning

Hi Henning,
For this you need to create a Condition step in the workflow after the 1st approval. Do the follwoing:
1. Create a workflow in SWDD.
2. Add start condition that requestor wants to order sth
3. Add a send mail to 1st approver step.
4. Add a Condition task after 1st approval to check if the order sth. is with this specific "job safety" product group.
5. If yes, go to 2nd approver.
6. Else, terminate the workflow.
Simple!

Product Group capacity can not be seen in MF50 output

Dear All,
I can not see the product group in 'total capacity' subscreen in output of planning table MF50.
In MF50 the input parameter i am entering is product group and plant.
In the scheduling tab of input parameters detailed scheduling and capacity planning is tick.
For some product groups i can see in output as "Product Groups / Total Capacity" and also in the rows below it shows "Prod.Grp XYZ" then requirement and available quantity rows. After which the production line rows follows.
For some product groups when enter in initial selection screen of MF50 with same input parameters in output i do not see Product group but i can see "Total Capacity Data" and then the rows starts with production lines. But no information on capacity of product group.
The setup of all product group is same and are created with MM01.
Regards,
Vero.

Hi Rupesh,
Thanks for reply.
In 'Control Tab' i am not selecting any parameter. So in output i can see all materials in 'Material Data' section which are included in product group irrespective of requirements.
I have issue in upper half section of 'Total Capacity Data'. I can see the different production line rows with Requirement / Available rows with capacity values in each period. Unit is %.
But i do not see 1st row for Product group row with 2 subsequent rows (requirement / available) with unit KG.
I can see these rows only for some product groups but not for all.
For the product groups for which i do not see these rows have capacity requirement in selected periods which can be seen in same output in production lines rows. (where selection in input screen is product group and plant)

Vero

I had 41 tabs open in about six groups over the last year and a half and I just close them and exited Firefox. Is there any way to get them back?

Also, is there any way to save a group or an open session and then restore it later?

History menu, if it was destroyed in the last session
then use "Restore Previous session:" and then restore all windows also from the history menu.
If done in this session try the restore all windows under the history menu.

Can a same member be in two product group?

hi,
Can we plan for a member which is part of two Product group. Right now I see when transfer demand from Second PG, the calculations and PIR out of first PG is getting overwritten. My requirement is to add to existing PIR rather than overwriting it. Is it possible?

I think you're confusing Albums and Projects.
each time i connect my camera to the laptop, i import the photos to a new album,
No you don't. You can't import to an Album, you import to a Project. A Project has a Box like icon. Projects are a reflection of the organisation if the originals on the HD. Move a shot from one project to another and the file moves too. You cannot have a photo in more than one project +without duplicating the file+.
Albums, on the other hand, have an icon like a Blue Book. You can have Albums that refer within a single project and Albums that refer all over the Library. Create an album (File -> New -> Album) and drag the images you want to it. The Files remain in their respective projects and are simply linked to the Album. Photos can be in 100's of Albums with no duplication.
I have previously created an album called 'the best shots of 2010',i now want to add some photos to this album
Use ratings and a Smart Album and do this automatically.

Not able to Create Product Group.

Hi All,
Not able to Create Product Group. I has to be solved urgently. The below message form SAP.
The field is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry
Message no. MG144
Procedure
Transfer a suitable value.
If the field is the material group or unit of weight, and the field is not ready for input, check whether the material is locked. If it is locked, you cannot extend the Purchasing view or the Sales view. If either of these views needs to be extended, the material must first be unlocked. This can be done only by a user with special authorization. Contact your system administrator.
Note
For information on locking and unlocking material master records, see the SAP library documentation Material Master (LO-MD-MM) -> Locking Material Master Records.
Thanks in Advance,
Pherasath.

Error while creating Product Group in SOP

HI Gurus,
When I am trying to create the product group in SOP in MC84 , I get follwoing error.
"Product group cannot be created (batch input error 7) Message no. MA218"
how to slove this?
Thanks in advance.
RG

Rajiv,
Basically if there are mismatch in the Field selection and fields visible in MC84 you would get this error.
The workaround suggested by SAP is to create a product group using MM01 with material type PROD, latter on using the change product group transaction MC86 you can assign its members.

Prasobh
