Defaulting material group in Purchase requisition

Hi experts,
I need to default material group of a purchase requisition as '6HA' if the asset assignment category is 'A' . Doing this by the personal settings option in ME51n is not what I require. Could you please suggest me of an appropriate BADI or exit to achieve the same where in I can perform my required validations as well.
Thanks and Regards,
Puja

Hi,
Did you copy the class manually?
How did you implement this badi?
This BADI should be called while creating the PR/before saving the PR.
Enahncements are not assigned in SPRO.
The link between the transaction and badi would exists already, and when you write some code in any interface of this badi, and activate the implementation.....it should be called automatically during the transaction processing, provided it meets the criteria.
You can check whether your PR is reaching this implementation or not by putting breakpoint in the badi implementation.

Hi Deepa,
Plz follow the below steps to make sure alternative UOM to work:
1. In the material master record, maintain the alternative UOM that you wish to
    use, with conversion factor, in Units of Measure tab under additional
    data.
2. Then, in the purchasing view, maintain the indicator 1 - Active for the field,
    Var. OUnit,
3 .Maintain the UOM conversion and and also activate the variable order unit in
    the corresponding inforecord.
Let me know if you have any issue.
Reward if it works.
Thanks,

Default Material Group based on PO Doc Type

Dear Experts,
Is there any standard configuration available to default Material Group in PO based on Document Type. I checked the forum, one of the earlier posts is suggesting Enhancement, but I am looking for Configuration.
I cannot use IMG--> Materials Management --> External Services Management --> Source Determination and Default Values --> for Purchasing Organizations, since it is already used by Freight team.
Please advise.
Manish

Hello Manish,
As already mentioned by all members that this is not possible by using Standard Configuration. What you can do is if this material group is going to be used everytime by the Purchase Department users, then you can ask them to make this default in their personal settings in ME21 Tcode. Every time they will execute the transaction system will default this material Group. The same can be done for doc type also.

How to default distribution account through purchase requisition, selecting the project expenditure type

Dear All,
How to default distribution account through purchase requisition, selecting the project expenditure type
Thanks
Abdul.

Hi Abdul,
If you meant defaulting Purchase Order distribution accounts from the (backing) requisition, then the accounts from requisitions will default into the autocreated PO.
If you seek to default distribution accounts for Purchase Requisition using Projects, then the account generator need to have customized rules defined to default account for project enabled distributions based on the Project/Task/Organization/Expenditure Type/Date combination entered.
This note is an extract from the user's guide, and has good detail on defaulting rules of accounts for Purchase Documents:
How Does The Account Generator Default The Accounts In Oracle Purchasing? (Doc ID 1067139.1)
Hope this helps.

Text linkages from material master to purchase requisition

I already set the text linkage between basic data text in material master with item text in PR. I left fix indicator blank since I want the text to be adopted automatically.
I run MRP and create planned orders. Then I convert planned order to purchase requisition. Material master basic data text is not shown in purchase requisition. I tested using N and * and they both show. With N it shows (reading from material master) and I accnot modify it. With * it shows but I have to adopted to actually store the text as part of this document. With blank is not working. We want the text from material master to be automatically adopted in PR without manual intervention as with *.
Thanks and regards, Jose Oyon.

Hi
If got ur query correctly : you want to make short text field in Preq as Display.
If yes then go to Tcode OLME (or SPRO) -> Purchase requistion->Define Screen layout at doc level->select ME51N--->double click basic data, item and make short text filed as display.

Material substitute in purchase requisition

Hi all!
I know that in SD we can manage material determination, but I'd like to know if I can do the same in MM, using for example material substitute when I create a purchase requisition.
Is it possible? Which is the best practise for this?
Thanks
Simone

Hello Simone
May be you can use 'Interchangeability of Parts' functionality for 'Material Exchange in Purchasing;. It is, I believe, meant for Mill Products industry but may be you can make use of it. Check out these links:

Avoid users can change Short Text of Material Id in Purchase Requisitions

Hi
We have a problem with purchase requisitions.
Users create a purchase requisition. In the field material, type the ID of the Material but then, change the description in Short Text, for example Material 1000 is a Bearing, and the user can change this description for Nut for example, causing problems and confusion in the following steps.
We want that if the user use Material ID can´t change the Short Text
Thank You very much

Hi,
You can control this via tcode OLME. go to Purchase Requisitions and then 'Define Screen Layout at Document Level'. Select appropriate field selection key (NBB if using standard one), go to basic data, item and maintain required settings.

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,

Automatically Default GL Account in Purchase Requisition

Hi Experts,
I want to Default GL Account and Business Area fields in Account Assignment Tab of Purchase Requisition based on Certain conditions. It means at the time creating Purchase Requsition based on Order type , GL Account and Business Area should be automatically defaulted to some XYZ value.
Please can you let me know if there are any User exits Which you have earlier coded for same requirement.
I came across Enhacement MEREQ001 which has Certain Exits But some of them which i thought are useful like initally 2 , that has only one Interface as a Importing parameter, Please let me know how to use it, as I want to set EKBN field while creating Purchase requisition.
Appreciate your inputs.

Hi,
You can do this by creating separate acc asgt category ( SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Maintain Account Assignment Categories) with changed Account modifier that can be later referenced in OBYC GBB pointing to different account that your current setup.

How can I change the material group in purchase order?

Hello,
I' ve changed the group of material and is not updated in the purchase order created. Is there any way you see the new material groupl in purchase order?
Thanks,

Sorry for the late answer.
Jeyakanthan A's suggestion may be good in case of few items.
You can also mass maintain purchase order material groups (EKPO-MATKL) in transaction MEMASSPO, though they are only in display mode in the purchase order transactions. If it doesn't work, you'll get a reason why.

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

MM-SRV: Adopt Material Group from Service Master instead of default in SPRO

At my current client we are encountering a problem when creating requisitions for services. When the system was originally configured years ago, a default value for material group was entered in the IMG under:
Logistics > Materials Management > External Services Management > Source Determination and Default Values > For Client
Field is "Default material group at item level" (V_T165-MATKL)
Up to now this singular default value was fine because they only had one material group for services. They are now wanting to further stratify their services spend, so there are now several additional values for Material Group that can (and are) used among their service master records. Having a single default value for Material Group is resulting in incorrect reporting of spend per Material Group.
I removed the default value in the config node stated above, but now the problem is that when creating a requisition line for services (item category D) in ME51N, no value for Material Group comes in at all, resulting in an error because Material Group is a mandatory field. Making the field optional on the Field Selection Groups is not a valid solution, as they need Material Group for spend reporting.
What we really need is for the Material Group to be automatically copied over from the service master data, in the same manner that this takes place for the material group contained in a material master.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Hi,
1) If service master is used in the PO item, then the system will take the
material group from the service master (AC01).
2) If no service master is maintained then the system will take the
material group from the table T023. To be able to change this material group on services level - if you want a different material group on services level, you must set the field ESLL-MATKL for visible in the table control settings, and the change of the service group must be carried out manually.
Please be advised that it is the standard behaviour that the material
group on service level is not updated automatically after you have
changed the material group on purchasing level. The material group on
service level must be adjusted manually.
3) By default for service lines the system will consider the material
group which is entered at the Item level.
Services can have different material groups, therefore you can change
the material group at service level. The material group in service line
can be different and always takes higher priority from the material
group at the item level.
Regards,
Edit
