Bw material group text

Hi gurus,
I have one question: how I can listthe text of material group in a query? (I use 0MATL_GROUP, and I'm not able to use any description of the material group because I can't put this on the cube )
Please help me with some ideeas
tank's

Hi Gabriel;
Your question now is not clear to me.
Do you need 0MATL_GROUP in your cube or not?
If not, please try my solution.
If yes, please check if you have 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT active in R/3. Go to RSA3 in R/3 and run it. If you don't have it active, please go to RSA5 and active it. Run again RSA3.
In BI, go to BC and activate DS 0MATL_GROUP_TEXT. Check the update/transfer rules. Run the infopackage and update the source.
When run the query it must be fine.
Regards;
Ricardo

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
Here for the above mentioned combination when i select the Key Combination (Condition Table) and enter the customized table number (Sales org. / Material Group) iam getting a dump which says the following.

GL account against Material group- For service procurement

Hi,
I have created a Service master, and assigned some material group. At entry aids settings in customization i have linked this material group with a Valuation class.
At OBYC settings I linked this valuation class for GBB VBR combination to GL accounts, with an impression that system picks GL account automatically when ever we create PO for this Service.
But this is not happening. Can any one please guide me how to achieve this?
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi Sattuj,
Follow the following steps
1. Create Service Master (maintain valuation Class and Material Group)
2.In OBYC, select WRX and enter chart of account and your GR/IR account in Debit and Credit tabs
3.Create PO: Enter cost object( according to ur requirement ex..Cost Center"K" or sales Order "C" or Project "P") and Item category "D" Service. Do not material here, just enter short text of service, material group and plant. Finally in item details enter activity number or service master you created in service master , quantity and gross price.
4.After entering above , again u will have a pop-up screen, you have to enter your G/L account here( created in as.....exm........Cost element for cost center or G/L for sales Order)
Hope the above solve ur problems.
With regards,

Usage of material group...

Hi there,
We assign the material group to a material in the material master. As per my understanding we have material having similar attributes under the same material group....
Can you pls enlighten me the advantages of that from SAP point of view .... & the buisness tranasctions where it helps....
Points will we rewarded to helpful answers
With Regards
Kaushik

Hello Kaushik,
Addition to experts suggestion, Material group is used for authorization, for account determination incase of text material purchasing and as a release characterisic as well.
so if you sum up
Material group is used
- To allocate the work within organizaiton
- To devide further down level of material type
- For release procedure
- For reporting purpose
- To use for creating purchasing document incase of without material master data
- To use in long term purchasing agreement
Hope this helps.

Source List for Material Group

Hi All,
How do I maintain a source list for a material group.? Since ME01 requires a material, I cannot create source list in this tranasction.
The client want a the Source (for material Group) to be assigned automatically in PR assignment step.
Again, within a material group there can be several infor records, For example:
Mater Group: Office Supp.....I can have two infor rec for the same vendor....one with "Short Text" Notepad and another info rec with "Short Text": Paperclips. Or the second info record could be a different vendor also.
How could the system know which one to assign as a source since it's the same material group (one for Notepads and the other for paperclips)??
Thanks in advance

Hi duke,
In SAP we have a choice of creating source list for a "Material Group ". Following is the method.
You may have the outline agreements related to material group rather than a single specific material - For ex. outline agreement with a item category M( Material unknown) or W ( material group).In doing so you can decide whether to exclude or include certain materials of the relevant material group by means of the source list.
To create the source list for a material group proceed as follows.
1) On the outline agreement overview screen, select the items for which you wish to enter the source list record & choose Item --> Maintain source list
2) To exclude the particular material keep the "Exclusion" indicator set against a material with a validity period.
I hope this will be useful to you.

How to Integrate new material group into COPA planning KEPM

Hi Sap Guru's
Please help me in Integrate new material group into planning
The planning coordinator is informed that a new material group is to be marketed in the coming year and that this new material group should be included in planning. To generate a default plan value automatically for this new material group, the planning coordinator uses the planning method Copy. In the Transform characteristic values function, the necessary entries are then made so that the sales quantities for an existing, comparable material group are copied to the new material group.
How can i do the above process...
Thanks
Sap Guru

HI,
create a new characteristic (KEA5), choose transfer from SAP-table (the tab. where your fiels is available in material master (MARA)), choose the field from the list of available fields from MARA, enter text, save, activate. Assign the char. to your op. concern. Generate the operating concern.
Aftre this steps the field is in yopur operating concern and the derivation rule can be seen in T-Code KEDR (rule created by SAP automatically). If not, add a derivation rule in KEDR (table lookup).
best regards, Christian

Restricting material group- vendor combination for Purchase requisitions

Hi ,
The requirement is :
While creating a PR for a material with only short text(no material master record), we have to enter the material group also.
If the material group is not supplied by the vendor then the system should give an error and not allow the user to progress with PR creation.
What we currently do is maintain the material group supplied by the vendor in the vendor master record's SEARCH TERM field of address data. I know this is just for information sake.
Kindly suggest a way to fulfill this requirement.
Thanks

Hi ,
We can create a PR without material master number. In this case it is mandatory to mention a material group.
My question is :
I want to stop people from raising a requisition for a vendor who does not supply the material group.
Thanks

Material Group Contracts

Hi
I have created a material group contract, and now when creating a PReq for a material master that belongs to that material group, the auto sourcing does not identify the contract that is in place.
I have created a contract as a "value contract - WK01 (a copy of WK)"
the only information that I did put in was the value, material group, purchasing group, purchasing org and description under the short text. I have left everything else as is. here all contracts are managed at a purchasing org level and not at plant level.
Is there anything else that I am missing?
Thanks
Vinesh

Hi
generally source list is used to assign perefered vendor as here there is no such source list here so please follow this
in purchase requisition screen there will be a field assign source click on it now the contract with vendor combination populates select it and assign to ur purchase requisition and save it.
hope it helps.

Service / Material Long text Repetation in PO Print,

Dear ALL,
I have a requirement where in the Service activities do have a Long text going up to 1 or 2 paragraphs, these long text gets printed in the POs getting created using this service activities,
but we mainly have many service activities having the same long text description, so when i use these 5-6 service activities in the PO, the service activity long text gets repeated 5- 6 times in the POs, it is filling the PO print page,
can we have a check to restrict PO long text appearing in PO print so that it is not repeated, can we have a check and option to choose which text from Service activity to appear and which can be restricted, any check or tick box which allows to have or not have a specific Service / Material master basic data Long text in print outs.
alternatively can we maintain Long Text at Material Groups level or is there any way to maintain and bring Long texts inside POs
Thanks and regards
S Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Chek with your ABAPer to achieve the Requirement , I think most of requirement can be achieve through the form set up
But i doubt that you can maintain the long text in Material group level

How to stop G/L from defaulting material group in work orders

Whenever we create a work order, the material group is pulled from the material master. But, if we have a component on a work order and don't enter in a material number, the material group defaults to electric supplies. From my research, it looks like it is doing this defaulting based upon the default G/L account assigned to components of work orders. Does anyone know how to stop this defaulting?
I might be completely off and it's not related to G/L which in that case this is not the correct forum, so if someone is knowledgeable about this let me know and I can switch the forum areas.
Thanks,

hi ,
Please check the Account Assignment In Po you have created .
for expamole if Po is created with account assignment ctegourt K than account modification is VBR
as in below Path and screen shot
Now check Material group valuation class if you are short text in PO or material master valuatiobn class if you are material Number . For expamaple its is 0001 liek ypur case . Now
Check combination in OBYC in GBB transction for VBR( Assignment category is K in PO ) and valaution class ( of Material master or material group )
Many Thanks

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.

Disable a mandatory field in ME21N (Material Group)

Hi Experts,
Material group field is mandatory in ME21N. I need to disable the control on this field, how can I do this ?
In fact, I need to disable this mandatory field for a PO creation in reference to a Contract.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
BR,
Cesar

Hi,
If PO is created with material number this field is get defaulted from material master basic data view. But If PO is with short text means without material number, then material group is mandatory anyway..Its stadard SAP program behavior.
You are saying this field should be optional in case of PO with refernce to contract? Does it mean that Contract is not with material and it is with short text? Please elaborate little bit on your requirement so as to answer d same.
Deepak.

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)
