Division and material group

What is the use of maintaining divisions and material groups in material master since both group materials?

Hi,
Material group in the material master is used to group the materials having same attributes.This is used in searching material master records via search help. Division is used for determination of Business Area & Sales area. This helps in extracting different financial statements based on the business area.

Hi All,
Is there any link between item category and material group.
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
Item Category
Item Category is a control field that allows the PR to follow the correct path for the correct path for that category of PR. The SAP system is delivered with a set of item categories
Blank -Standard
K- Consignment
L- Sub Contracting
S- Third Party
D- Service
U- Stock Transfer
Selecting an item category allow the display of certain fields and not others
For Ex: If PR item has an item category K for conignment then invoice receipts will not be allowed
Material Group
Material group is a method of grouping of similar materials.It is defined either by using classification or by configuration. It is important not only for seracing the materials but also in other areas of purchasing
A purchace inforecord can be created with out a material number but must require materail group and vendor
Material group is configured through Tcode WG21
And i do not find any link between them
I hope this gave you the clarity
In case of any more information required do get back
If found helpful reward accordingly

Authorizations for materials and material groups

Hello experts,
Is it possible to limit the authorization to make purchase requerisiton of some materials or material groups depending on the user?
I heard that it is possible be able to update some materials using the authorization M_MATE_MAT and including them in the material master, material group and user. But this also works for the creation of purchasing documents (PR,PO,RFQ,...)? Do I have to include this authorization for all the materials? If they do not have I understand that works for every people.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,

Hi Madii,
actually Authorization works at the object level, i.s if you have provided the authorization for the user to makePR with certain Material Grp, then if you dont define that grp in the PO role, but still user will get the authorization from the PR role.
why you want to allow the user to make the PR of certain Mtrl Grp for which he should not be making the PO.
or let a different Body take care of the other mtrl Grp.
Hope it helps.

Vendor Evaluation by Material and Material Group wise

Dear Folks,
Customer requirement is to see subcriterion level scores of Vendor
Evaluation according to material, Material group wise. But the
datasource provided by SAP is providing the data according to
Purchasing Organisation level and Vendor level (0MM_PUR_VE_01).Is it
Possible to break the scores according to material group and material
as TC in r/3: ME6B provides ranking based on Main Criterion level
scores. If possible, what is the logic?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Anil,
Thanks for ur reply.
But Customer requires vendor evaluation data through Automatic route.
0MM_PUR_VE_02 caters to semi-automatic data which needs to be configured in r/3, and customer doesn't want to do that. Is there any other solution.

Assignment of Vendor and Material group

Hi All,
Is there any way to assign vendors/material groups to standard industry classifications.
We need to have vendors attached to these new industry groups and further to attach specific material groups and G/L's to these vendors- in that once a material group is selected (in SRM ordering), only the assigned vendors / GL groups will be allowed for selection.
Please let me know if this is possible in SRM 5.0 (by standard or Non standard).
regards

I believe there is a place in maintain supplier data
one field called product category check it up. i believe vendor data tab.
since for eg in ros , you registered vendor in srm via whta product category you can suplly to the organisation.
but no one is using extensively. some customers are using this field for spend analysis report for each vendor what is the spend on thi s particular product category.
which suppliesrs can provide product category
product category are customer specific. fr eg go to dun and brad sheet web page . here you may get a list which supplier can provide what PRODUCT CATEGORY

Authorisation group and Material group

Hi Guys,
              When a user create a PO, The material group assigned to Authorization group, is allowing the user user to create PO, whose role is not assigned to the authorization group.
I am looking for solution, to restrict user from creating PO, whose role is not assigned to authorization group.
Is there any user exit available to solve this issue.
Thanks

HI,
In PR and PO transaction, there is no authorization object that check
the material group.
Only the following objects are checked in ME21N :
M_BEST_BSA
M_BEST_EKG
M_BEST_EKO
M_BEST_WRK
To fulfill your requirement, you could consider the following
suggestions :
- in txn ME21n and Me51n , enter the value of the material group under
personal setting. (in txn ME21n, click on personal setting, select
default value   > PO item, fill in the corresponding material group
click on always propose)
- in the customization of purchasing (spro > material management   >
purchasing   > Purchase order   > Define screen layout at document
level , select field selection akth and akte and aktv, double click
on basic data, item. for field material group, select display only
instead of optional!
With the above setting, the material group will always defaulted for
users and the screen will be grey off, do not allow user to change it.
The only setback of this suggestion is you will have to setup personal
setting for every new user.
If you want only restricted GroupS to be displayed as defined in a role,
there is no workaround in the standard design. To achieve this, you
have to modify the standard coding and add an extra authority check for
your authorization object (eg; Z_BEST_WGR). The standard program, in
which the authorization check for the PO position takes place is
"MM06EF0B_Berechtigungen_Kopf".
The attached OSS note 20534 will explain in detail, how the
authorization check works and also provides an example of the necessary
coding to implement the authorization check for your own authorization
object:
EXAMPLE :
authority-check object 'F_KNA1_BUK'
       id 'BUKRS' field '01'
       id 'ACTVT' field '03'.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message e...   "Nicht berechtigt um ...
endif.
BUT please take into account, that ANY changes to the standard coding is
a modification.
There´s no user exit available.
I hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Arminda Jack

0material and material group

Hi, i'm trying to get the value of "material group 1" ... "material group 5" defined in the ECC table MVKE, my question is ...
Is there any way to get this values for each material in the "standar" way or do i have to enhance the extractor?
Pd. i see the texts are defined in the datasources 0matl_grp1_text ... 0matl_grp5_text, but how do i get the id in as an atribute of 0material??
Thanks,
Sergio.

yes u can. but pls aware 0material are loded with 0material_attr data. make sure your transformation for 0mat_sales_attr does not overlap the fields in 0material_attr. So i would suggest u to map transformation only MATNR and MVGR5 in 0mat_sales_attr to 0material.
However what I normally does is enhance the 0material_attr to include mvgr5

Link between material and material groups

hi all,
I have reploicated material groups and materials in SRM.How do i link these naterial group and materials?

Deepa,
When you replicate material from ECC, data from multiple tables in backend is extracted and sent to SRM in BDOC. One of the tables is MARA and it has material group information.
Check COMMPR01 transaction in SRM and pull up a material you replicated. It should show there the material group.

Canadian tax determination on basis of material group, Sales Office and...

...Customer region.
Hi,
We have a unique requirement for taxation in Canada. The constraints/requirements are:
1. For all customer located in the province Quebec (KNA1-REGIO = QC), if:
(a) the Sales Office on customer master (KNVV-VKBUR) not equal to QC (Quebec - user defined) and material group (MARA-MATKL) = 'X' or 'Y', we need the GST and QST to be charged
(b) for all other material groups, if the Sales Office on customer master (KNVV-VKBUR) not equal to QC (Quebec - user defined) we need only the GST to be charged (not QST)
How can this be achieved? We can explore the use of any other field too, apart from KNVV-VKBUR if it helps or even some kind of indicator on the customer master...
Appreciate any clues...can the material pricing group be of any use here? If so, how?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks, Nageshwar, I certainly don't want to complicate it with 2 condition types and prefer a requirement. However, in the requirement, I see an issue - since the taxes are determined on the basis of the ship to party (and we do have customers with out of QC but with their ship tos in QC and vice versa), the partner determination at the time of applying the pricing (i..e. VA01) has not yet taken place - not stored in any table...how do I get the system to understand the REGIO from the address data for the P. fn = WE (or SH)? How will the requirement get triggered if the system can't determine what the REGIO is? We need it to be applicable only if the REGIO is QC, not for others. Sales office and the material group are not a problem to ascertain. The REGIO is not stored in VBAK or VBAP and the VBPA entries are not yet done (at the time of VA01)...I can think of getting it only from KNA1 but am not sure how to.....any ideas?
Thanks!

Filtering R/3 Material Groups and Material Types

Hi,
I am trying to filter the Material groups and material types during master data upload from R/3 to SRM 4.0
I am tried doing the following:
1. In Txn R2AR2, i set up the request for DNL_CUST_PROD1 for MARA-MATKL(Material Group) & MARA-MTART(Material Type)and then run the Txn R3AR4 with DNL_CUST_PROD1. The replication was successful, but it pulled in all the R/3 backend material groups and material types.
Now i deleted the replicated material types and Material groups in SRM using SRM Std reports and this too was successful.
2. Now i tried another method - In Txn R3AC3, i selected the Object DNL_CUST_PROD1 and i added table MARA and set up the filter requirements for MARA-MTART(Material Types) and MARA-MATKL(Material Groups), i synchronized the filters and then when i selected the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 in Txn R3AS for initial upload, even this is pulling in all the material types and material groups from R/3 without filtering
Can anyone please let me know the exact procedure to filter out the R/3 Material types and material groups during initial upload of this data into SRM 4.0
Thanks

Hi,
Before starting the INitial load for MATERIAL,for filetr settings ,Go in tcode R3AC1.
There select the Object name as MATERIAL and click on the "filter settings" tab.
There in OBJECT FILTER SETTINGS
Enter the relevant filter criteria:
e.g. If you wnat to filter on Material type(MARA-MTART):
The input will be as follows:
Table /Structure :MARA
Field :MTART
OP :EQ Equality (= Low)
Low: "Material type name"
Incl/EXcl: Inclusive defined
And then click on the button "FILTER SYNC".
The filter settings are complete for the Material download.
