Changing the material Group in PO -- the GL assignment doesn't change

Good morning,
we have a material group linked to a valuation class.
When we create a service purchase order, we use this material group and the G/L account is automatically updated, but if we change the material group, the G/L account doesn' change.
SAP PARAMETERS
- Material Group 1 is linked to valuation class XXXX
- Material Group 2 is linked to valuation class YYYY
- In SPRO the field G/L account is set on Display (screen layout).
Our user can change the material gruop, but the G/L account doesn't change too and this mistake could generate a wrong accounting document.
We want that the G/L account change automatically when the material group is changed and, if we cannot, we'd like to block the change of the material group (but not in Screen layout, because we are buying service without material master and we need to inser the material gorup).
Thanks for any ideas.
regards

Hi klausj,

  • Make field in Material master mandatory based on the material group

    Hello all,
    I need to make the field "post to inspection flag" mandatory based on the material group while creating the Material master.
    I found options for making the field mandatory based on Material type,Industry sector and plant NOT based on the material group.
    Could anyone please provide suggestions on setting up the field as mandatory based on material group while creating material master
    Thanks,
    Sre

    Hi Sre,
    You can make Material Group field as Mandatory while Creating Material Master.
    SPRO>Log General>Material Master>Field Selection>Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
    Select Screen # 48
    In the Field selection (Field Ref.) of (MARA - MAKTL) screen , Change the settings from Optional to Required Entry for T Codes MM01, MM02 or you can select the Material Type ;
    Please note this  by choosing this selection the fields of Profit Center and  Division will also become Mandatory.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards

  • Automatic change of G/L account with change of material group in PO

    Experts,
    we're facing an issue with the change of the G/L account in a PO after the material group has been changed. We're creating purchase requisitions from SRM (account assignment type K) with material group and G/L account. Starting to create the PO with ME21N from PR we want to change the material group. After the change we still have the original G/L account.
    Valuation class and account assignment is defined correctly and if we create a manual PO the correct values are used. What do we need to change so that the G/L account is directly changed with the change of the material group?
    Thanks
    Hubert

    Hi Hubert,
    I am assuming that you are not using the material master  and trying to default the G/L account using the material group.
    Can you check whether the valuation class assign in this config for the respective material group are same.
    Purchasing> Material Master > Entry Aids of items without a material Master.
    System should default the G/L account if you maintain different valuation class in material group with the respective G/L define in OBYC.
    Secondly, Please check the Account assign categories configuration for the account  modification.
    Purchasing > Account assignment > Maintain Account assignment Categories.
    Cheers!

  • Changing the material group

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to change the material group on certain materials. What implications do we have when we try to change the material group
    Thanks
    Anusha

    Hello Anusha,
    If the material is already used in purchasing, when you change the matkl field the information message M3531 :y u are changing material group, but material already used by purchasing occurs
    if you double click on this message you can see the following explanations :
    When changing the material group of a material that is already being used by the purchasing department, you should note that:
       The purchasing statistics show how much of a material group has
        already been ordered. Unitl the change is made, the material is
        managed under the old material group and therefore the old material
        group statistics are updated. From the moment the change is made,
        the new material group's statistics are updated.
       Some purchase orders may derive from contracts with item categories
        referring to material groups. If this is the case, the material
        cannot be used after the change has been made.
       Every purchase requisition is allocated to a release strategy that
        can depend on the material group. A new release strategy may apply
        to a new material group. Purchase requisitions that were created
        before the change are subject to the old strategy; purchase
        requisitions that were created after the change are subject to the
        new strategy.
    Hope this can help

  • Error in CIF while change in Material Group in R/3

    Hi,
    I have assigned Material Group Description as an external field in Extra Tab in APO. When I create a material the CIF updates the filed correctly.
    When I change the material group the CIF gives and error "Location does not exist for external location FR02, type , and BSG BSG1" where FR02 is my Plant.
    When I delete the queue and re execute the IM the change is updated in APO.
    Can someone tell me why the above CIF error appears for every change done.

    Nilesh,
    It is common for experienced ABAPers to be able to determine this on their own.  Normally all you should have to do is explain in business terms what is happening, and the ABAPer should be able to troubleshoot the problem without you first discovering the code details for him.
    There are a couple of ways to populate the aux fields in the SCM product master. The first userexit I would look at would be CIFMAT01 on the R/3 side.

  • Impact on if you change in material group

    Hi,
    Change in Material groups in Material master - System will not update the PR,PO,Stock
    Have to change all the documents to update the New Material groups.
    Update Material master by LSMW

    hi
    Impacts of changing material group
    1) If ur release strategy is based on material group it needs to modify ( Material group as charactaristics)
    2)If u r trying to extract any reports based on material group u will find discrepency bet reports as u r changing M.Group in betn.
    3)The data in the Info systems and BW etc. are  updated with the the "old" material group and so if you tried to compare them you would find differences.
    changing M . Group will not cause any major prob. but only reporting problems

  • Changing existing Material Group  user defined names  to new mat groups

    Hi Gurus,
    My client is using conventional Material Groups user defined names for ages in their system.
    Now they have requested us to workout for switching over to UNSPSC material groups Global Standardization.
    While carrying out the exerice, they have asked us to completely clean up the entire system to replace the new material group with old in all Masterdata, transaction data including statistics table in pr, po, stock and in everything
    If any one of you have carried out this exercise and if you have any useful documentation, please inform me
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Mohan

    Hi,
    If you change the Material groups in Material master the system the system will not update the PR/PO/Stock or others.
    You need to change all the documents to update the New Material groups.
    For Material master update you can use the LSMW.
    You can update the PR/PO also but if the PR/PO is subjected to Release Strategy then you need to derelease then change the material group then update and if it is based on the Material group then while update the new release strategy will apply and you have to change everything.
    Think of that if you have huge data then it is very difficult to change all the documents. if the data is Less you can proceed .
    Instead of deleting old material groups just add the new material groups and use them in future for all your process.

  • Reverse the material document before cancelling the excise invoice.

    Dear Experts,
    While cancelling the exice invoice thru J1iex , system is giving me an error message "Reverse the material document before cancelling the excise invoice" .......I checked PO history where all the material documents are already cancelled with MIGO cancellation (movement 106 )
    But in J1iex , if I select the cancel option and put this invoice number , it is showing me one document with status "IN PROCESS" and if I select that doc and try to save it. System prompted me the message "Reverse the material document before cancelling the excise invoice ,but if I am trying to post this document system is issuing me a message "All Part I entries have been canceled for excise invoice ...........xx.Exicse table J_1IGRXREF and J_1IPART1 alrady update with both documents.kindly any one suggest me positive.
    MINI

    Hello
    follow the below steps
    1. MIGO:Cancel the material document (movement type 102) & during cancellation update part1 only. This changes the excise invoice document status to In process
    2. J1IEX:Post the excise invoice referring the material document (of movement type 102). Creates an accounting document to reverse the CENVAT postings. Creates a corresponding entry in Part II of the appropriate excise register
    Thus the excise postings are reversed.
    3.J1IEX: Cancel the excise invoice (Do this if your plant does not allow multiple goods receipts per excise invoice).Now the system will allow you to cancel the vendor excise invoice
    above the procedure right. you will get this updation excise registers also

  • I want better solution for adjusting the Material stock values for the last

    my Customer  need to adjust( Decrease)  the closing stock values for the following materials / plant wise as on 31.03.2006 for meeting statuary compliance.
    Material1 :  RS: 4149599    QTY : 10181.03 Ltrs
    Material 2  : RS: 1318596     QTY:  2152.76   Ltrs
    As per my knowledge MM posting periods can open current month and Previous month only. For the reason I proposed the solution as follows:
    Step 1 : post FI Journal Entry on 31.03.2006
    Opening Balance G/L  Account Dr 4149599 + 1318596
    Closting Stock a/c                      Cr 4149599 + 1318596
    Step 2.
    Change the Material Price in MM through T.Code: MR21
    ( Posting will be allowed in current or previous months)
    This makes our CO reports accurate.
    Please  suggest the better solution if it is possible in MM for adjusting the Material stock values for the last financial year.

    Hi Madhavan,
    Unfortunately this forum deals with migrations from non-Oracle
    environments to Oracle. You seem to be dealing with migrations in
    an Oracle environment mainly.
    I would recommend that you contact Oracle Applications and RDBMS
    support directly. They will have the most up to date
    information/advice on performing these actions.

  • Create return but linked to original sales order where the material was delivered in the first instance

    Hi Everyone
    I want to create return but linked to original sales order where the material was delivered in the first instance, I don’t want to create other sales order (to return) with references to the original, and then other sales order to be delivered again (replacement).
    Example
    SALES
    1. Create a sales order number 33 with 10 Ton
    2. The delivery is linked to sales order 33 just with 8 Ton
    3. Invoice is created linked to the delivery with 8 Ton
    4. Sales order number 10 pending qty is 2 Ton
    RETURN
    5. We would like to link the return delivery to the sales order, 5 Tons will be retuned
    6. Credit memo is created
    7. Sales order number 10 pending qty update to 7 Ton

    The only way is to change the item categories in the delivery.
    Create the delivery wrt the original sales order.
    Change the item category(In the config make sure the return is checked)- But I think you need to do some changes in the user exit to enable the item category in the delivery)..
    The other option is to have a return order document(type RE) and then create the return delivery for this document. In the copy controls you can maintain the return item categories while creating the return order from sales order..
    Thanks

  • Unable to remove the redundant group header from the bottom of page

    Hi,
    In one of my projects in I am facing a problem.
    I need to display the details of all available products of the company. While displaying the details, I need to group the products based on some criteria (like type of product, release date) and the grouping is upto 4 level grouping. Grouping criteria can se said as, I need to firstly group all the products based on the type, then on the Release Date and then on two of the client specific values on the Product.
    Along with this, the view of product details is a thumbnail view (Image on top with all details below that line after line) due to which I need to display multiple (5) products in one row.
    The problem which I am facing is:
    The most important criterion for the customer is that there should not be any wastage of space.
    Secondly, they also donu2019t want to see partial data like only the header data in one page and the Product related Data (Image and Info) on the next page.
    In my case, when first page has insufficient space for the next grouped products, it simply displays the group header on the first page. On the second page, it again displays the group header along with the data.
    For reference, images are available at:
    Image1: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3454/3224626688_aa3cfb8236_m.jpg
    Image2: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3373/3224626782_0501cf566f_m.jpg
    My requirement is to remove the redundant group header from the first page as it does not make sense without having any data below it.
    I have tried the following options:
    1. I tried to apply setting "Keep Group Together" on the group and "Repeat Group Header On Each Page". But when I apply this, when my second group has more than 5 products (two rows of data) and space on first page can accommodate only 1 row of data, it moves the data on to the second page instead of keeping the 1st row on first page and 2nd on second page. This solution is not acceptable to the customer as it wastes space.
    2. If I remove setting "Keep Group Together" on all the groups, but keep the "Repeat Group Header On Each Page" and remove the "Keep Object Together" in the details section, I can save space. But this is not acceptable to the user as it leaves dangling headers (Orphaned Header Information).
    Need some pointers to overcome this issue as it is very critical for me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Vibhav Agrawal

    Thanks Raghavendra for your reply.
    These solutions provided on the link are not useful for me because of the peculiar layout of my report.
    In my report I am supposed to show details of multiple items (upto 5/6) in a single row.
    All solutions suggest about adding additional header (below group header) and use the formula to use that header to put the data for initial first object and details section for the subsequent objects.
    But, since i need to display multiple items in same row...and data cannot be set as 'format with multiple columns' in the header, hence this solution does not work for me
    Thanks,
    Vibhav Agrawal
