Can a sourcelist be assigned to a material group?

Can a source list be assigned to a material group? if yes where and how it is configured and how functionality works?

Hi,
Within the contract maintenance function, you can create source list records for a material group for contract items with the item category M (material unknown) or W (material group).
Source list records for material groups define which materials can be released against a contract item with item category M or W.
You can list either all disallowed materials (exclusion of materials) or all allowed materials (inclusion of materials). To exclude materials, you must retain the standard setting of the exclusion indicator. To include materials, you must deselect the exclusion indicator.
To create the source list for mtl gr. item process as given below.
On Outline Agreement overview screen select item choose Item--> Maintain source list.

Assigning Material Group per User

Hi SAP Experts! =)
Pls Help! does anybody have an idea how can I assign a Material Group per User. This is for authorization purposes. What I just know, is to Assign just one Material Group per user through Parameter ID MKL. This will only solve my problem if a User will only have access for a Single Material Group.
Do you know a way how to Assign access for Multiple Material Groups? I would want to use this for the PR/PO process, so a User will only purchase Materials under his/her assigned Material Groups. =)
Mik

HI,
Usually we give a star symbol for the authorisation object of material groups means the user is authorised for all the material groups.
In case if you want to give multiple material groups for the user then we have to specify the material groups instaed of the star symbol.
You can check the users authorisaion against the user ID in tcode SUIM.(Users with complex selection)
Thanks & Regards,

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

Where to assign the G/L Account to Material Group in SPRO

Hi,
Can someone tell the node in SPRO, where G/L Account is assigned to the Material Group in case of PO being created withourt Material Master?
Regards.

Hi,
You can not link G/L Account to the Material Group directly.
Use T.code:OMQW and assign Materil Group with Valuation Class and then use account determination process,where you can assign G/L to Valuation Class .

Material group & Account Assignment Category

All,
Whether we can make Material group and Accout assignment link in PR.?
Suppose I am creating a PR and selecting a Account Assignment , only specific material groups I shoulb able to select , whether I can make that settings ?
Kindly advise the best practices .
regards

Arif ,
If I have selected a account assignment ,(for eg 'A') , in PR , then whether I can restrict the materiaL Groups , in such a way that , material groups which should be used for Asset only can be selected in PR ?
Suppose I am having material groups A1, A2, A3, for asset .
And M1,M2,M3 for Misc Non Stock .
Then suppose if I am creating a PR with account assignment 'A' , then only I should be able to select A1 or A2 or A3 .
If I am selecting M1,M2,M3 , then it shud give some error .
This is possible ?
Pls advise.

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.

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!

New material group

Hi Gurus,
Some materials have already been assigned to a material group. These are all active materials & stock exists for these materials.Now can we assign these to a different group. Can we use the fld "external material group" for further grouping i.e sub group.
Regards,
Kumar

you can assign a new material group to material
but u dont delet the old material group for SPRO , as it will created issues in running old PO and reports,
external material group is just a infermation field and we dont have any std report against this fiels u will have to chreat u own reports if u want any report against this report

Problem with material group in task list

Hi Experts,
We have created a task list with external operation assigned with specific material group, say 'x'. This task list is assigned to maintenance strategy which in turn assigned to maintenance plan. This Scheduled maintenance plan has generated many maintenance orders. After that we deleted the material group which was assigned to task list and assigned new material group to the task list. But now system is not generating maintenance orders from this task list as it is giving error message that "the old material group does not exist" Message no. SE419
Even though we changed the material group in that task list system still considering old material group.
Could you please help us to get ride of this problem?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Praveen

Praveen,
The change that you had made on the task list is effective from the" Key date"date that's entered on the initial screen.That Is probably why this is causing an issue at your end.
Try changing the task list once again by back dating the "KEY DATE" on the initial screen of the transaction ,to a date before the "Plan date" of the MP. This should solve your problem.If you are not able to change this, then create a new task list with a back dated "key date" with all the other details remaining the same and and assign it to the plan.

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)

Diifferent Accounts based on Valuation Class /Material group Shorttext -PO

Hello Sapient
We need to differentiate the Posting for short text PO . we want the Asset / Office supplies / Services to post in to a separate G/L Account .We seperate it by Material group , but the posting cannot be done by valuation class assigned to the material group . How can we handle the WRX using valuation class or by any method. what i am referring is all for PO without material master. .
Thanks
Jeevan

Hi Jeevan,
You are absolutely right. I am also facing the same problem. In our case also we do not have a material master. We have created a PO with short text and with a material group. We have assigned a valuation class to this material group.
We have used account assignmed category "P" for the PO.
For the debit posting i.e. for GBB-VBR its taking the GL account based on the valuation class, but for WRX its not taking the GL account with the valuation class.
We want to have different GR/IR account (say 108) for domestic PO's and different GR/IR account (say 109) for Import PO's. We are not able to do this diffrentiation because in OBYC in WRX, while doing MIGO the system is picking only that GL account for which the Valuation class is blank.
I don't think there is a solution to this. If you find any then pl
pease let me know.
But if you don't want to segregate the GL Accounts in WRX then the simple thing for you to do is in OBYC WRX maintain the GL account without Valuation class. Your problem will be resolved.
Rgds
Prasad.
