Change of Material Type in Plants

Dear Guru's,
Good Day.
I've two plant Codes Plant A and Plant B with one company code.
Plant A Procures a Material(ABC) from an Vendor. Material type for ABC is maintained as ROH(Raw material).
Plant B produces Material(ABC) inhouse and does STO to Plant A.
I've extended the Material (ABC) from Plant A to Plant B.
Now, I need to Change the material Type for ABC in Plant B as Finished Goods(FERT), which is not Possible by transaction MMAM.
I need to Change the Valuation Class and Price control for mateiral ABC in plant B.
With Regards,
Siddharth

Material type to plant assignment

Hi all,
where in SPRO, we can assign material type to plant??
Regards,
Aisha Ishrat
ICI Pakistan Ltd.

Hi,
We assign Material type to Valuation area which is either Company code or Plant.
This will be assigned in Quantity & Value updation for that Particular Material type.
Path is
SPRO-Logistics genMaterial masterBasic settings-Material types--Define attributes for Material types.
Here select the Material type and then select the quantity & Value updating.
You will find all the valuation area there select your valuation area(Plant) and select the check box which means the quantity & Value will be updated with respect to this material type whenever you do any goods movement or any changes to the material which is created based on that material type

Hi,
While changing the Material Type, following points needs to be confirmed :-
1. There should be no stock against the materials. If there will be any stock against the materials, then u will have to nullify the stock for the materials.
2. There should be no open documents against the materials like PO, PR etc. In case if any open documents, same needs to be closed.
3. Also there should be no open reservation order against the materials.

Change of Material Type via MMAM

Hi All,
May I ask what are the other prerequisites in changing the Material type?
What I know is stocks must be zeroed out, Open POs must be closed (is it the open POs only? or all POs with the specified material?) ,and OLD and NEW Material type should have the same Value and Quantity Updating setup.
I tried changing one material by it reflects an existing Delivery for the said material, I checked the DR and found that it was already received - although its Shipment Cost hasn't been transferred. What should be done with these DRs?
Thanks a lot.
=)

Hello
The following are the checks the System made :
The POs will need to be flagged for deletion and/or the production
orders will need to be archived, in order to change the material type
for the material.
The value and quantity updating must be identical for the old and new
material types in order to allow a material type change.
Review note 160970.
If you do not want to flag the deletion flag of the PO line item for
the material, please use note 160970.
Note 160970 is only for material types where the quantity and value
updating is similar (txn OMS2 configuration) .
Please refer to the Online documentation:-
    Logistics - General
    -> Logistics Basic Data
       -> Material Master
          -> Material Master Records
             -> Material Types
                -> Changing a Material Type
If the material is already in stock, or if reservations or purchasing
documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be met:
o Quantities and values of the material of the new material type
    must be updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities
    and values of the material of the old material type.
Please take note that the account category reference must be the same
for both the new and old material types and the stock values for the
materials with the new material type must be updated in the same G/L
account as the stock values for materials with the old material type.

Mauro

Change the Material type & Material industries

Hi Expert,
I have created one material code. Suppose that Material Code is " XYZ"
Material code : "XYZ"
Material Type : FERT
Industry sector: Chemical industries
I want to Change material type & Industry sector.
Please help me how i change the Material type & Industry sector.
Best Regards
Shashi Singh

Hi
I want to Change material type & Industry sector.
Changing the material type for a material is possible as it has been well explained by other friends
It is because a semifinished goods one material type can become a finished goods another material type
Changing the industry sector is not possible at all
Once industry sector is assigned to a material you cant change it at all

Change of material Type

Hello to all,
I have one question. We are doing implementation with SAP R/3 version ECC 6.0. First let me explain the scenario. The scenario is Intercompany sale. We have two Statergic Business Units e.g. 'A' & 'B' . One SBU ('A') isues PO for manufacturing Press Tool to other SBU ('B') for which it will be SO. . ETS is operated through Project System Module for which Tool is a FERT (Finished product). Now 'B' manufactures the tool and delivers & sales it to 'A' with the material type as FERT whereas for 'A' it is FHMI (Production resource tool). The problem is that both the Statergic business units are operated through SAP with same client.
Kindly provide the soluion. Please feel free to ask any furthur clarification required.
Thanks in advance
Sudhir

Hi,
If you want to change the material type, you can try in T.code: MMAM
But in your scenario, u just go for BOM in T.CODE: CS01( example: in a finished products how many parts are there).You can have PO for parts and SO for finished products.
Hope this will help.

Biju K

Changing standard material types

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0
I want to change few settings for standard materials types like FERT, HALB, ROH and HAWA.
For example Standard FERT does not have Purchasing view enabled but I enabled it.
Will these settings be reset when we go for upgrade in future?
Thanks
George

Hi,
You can change settings related to std config, depending upon your clients requirement using T code OMS2. In that case once you make changes in std config then all materials are created with purchasing view.
But it will reset after you upgrade your system in future as these are standard SAP settings.
As our collegue mentioned it is better to create another material type instaed of changing std material type.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Best Regards,
Avinash.

Changes of Material type

Hello All.
I have created a Material master and by mistake i have put wrong Material type, so now can i change that material type for that material master.
please suggest.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi,
Before changing material type check whether any stock is there for that material also check open purchasing & sales docs. If you are changing the material type use T.code MMAM once you change the material type valuation class of the material also changes.

How to clear the PPC balance to change the material type?

Dear experts,
Our customer need to change some material type (valuation class as well) from semi-finished product to purchase part. It uses Product Cost Collector for semi-finished/finished product and never makes settlement for any PCC.
To change the material type through MMAM requires zero stock and cleared PCC balance. So we removed the stock of the semi-finished product and settled the PCC for every month of this year.
Since the products could have entry this year and last year, even if we settled their balances of this year, it still can not be changed the material type.
And we do not know how to settle the PCC balance of last year because only one field YEAR can be entered on screen KK87/CO88. If I enter settleme period 11, posting period 12 and fiscal year 2007, system will give error "Period 12 is not allowed".
But we happend to find one product has no entry this year but has balance value of last year. Its material type can be changed w/o any errors, which seems last year balance has no impact material type change. I get confused.
Can any one advise whether I'm wrong and where?

Hi Sharan,
Matl Povided to Vendor stock will appear in Subcontracting scenario.
If at all you have given some material to a subcontractor , this will be consumed automaticaly when you will recieve the ordered material from subcontractor.that is 543 movement will take place in the backgroung when u do the GR.
In case if u need to clear the stock u can do 542 and take the stock back to unrestricted.

Shall v maintain price control for material type with plant specific ?

Hai Guru,
In OMS2, we change HALB price control [valuation] as V or S. whether shall v maintain this for plant specific.?
Kindly guide
With Regards
Swetha

Hi
if you do not make the indicator Price control manadatory active then you can have different price indicator for each plant. However thsi indicator is never done plant specific. If you wish to have plant specific then you may have to have a new material type and again you need to control the MM01 creation for that particular plant by means of Authorisation control which is littel involved also but can be done.

MMAM - change material type

When we try to change the material type of a material we often get the following "error" messages:
The material type cannot be changed. The reasons for this are:
stock already exists in the following plants
purchase orders exists
We want to change the material type automatically (via program) but then we need to catch these errors ---> so we need a workaround to be able to change the material type.
Can anyone help us with this workaround ---> any known program/function/... for this issue?
Kind regards,
Lieselot

I don't want to create a way around these issues. I just want to put these actions into a program so we don't need to do them manually.
Kind regards,
Lieselot

Change material Type - 'MMA'

I am trying to Change Material Type using T-code - 'MMAM'.But Message is coming PO already exist.
Problem is tat we have already created GIN for the PO & Reversed the GIN also,but still PO is not getting release to Change any data.It is giving error,that GIN already exist.
I want to Change the MAterial Type.How can i do that.??
Viru.

Please note that both the new material type and the old material type must have the
same characteristics eg. quantity based material management is one of
the characteristic. The R/3 Online Help provides a very good explanation
on all the pre-requisites before you can change a material type.
(Logistics Gen>Logistics Basic Data > LO Managing Material Master Data >
Material Master Record > Material Type > Change Material Type)
Please check if you have set the deletion flag for any PO's as
these need to be physically deleted for MMAM to work. You will also
need to check if there are ANY open items for this order. The purchase
orders need to be ARCHIVED. You should complete the invoice receipt for
this position BEFORE you set the deletion flag in the purchase order.
Also, if the material is already in stock, or if reservations or
purchasing documents exist for it, the following conditions must also be
met:
>The stock values of the material of the new material type must be
updated in the same G/L account as the stock values of the material of
the old material type.
>Quantities and values of the material of the new material type must be
updated in exactly the same way in all plants as quantities and values
of the material of the old material type.
>If there is a transfer requirement for the material and if quantities
of the material exist, the new material type must also allow the
material data to be maintained from the Warehouse Management view.

How to change Material Type

Hi All,
I have created new material type as ZINS ( Insurance spares ).
Now,I have to change ZSPR ( Spares) material to ZINS material type.
In system there are no liabilities for this material.But ,I am getting following error while executing T-code :-MMAM.
Error :- " Change Material Type
The material type cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
QM inspection data exists for the material. In this inspection data,
it is defined that a plan is required for the inspection. However,
inspection plans are not allowed for the new material type.
    Plant
    1100
    6001
Task lists already exist for specific TL types for the material
The new material type does not allow assignment of task lists for these TL types "
I want to know is there any settings required while creating new material type in quality module,as this error seems to be related to Quality module.
Please help,as this is very much urgent.
Thanks.
With Best Regards,
Rajesh
