Error during Material type change

Hi,
We are trying to change a material type from being a purchased raw material to a manufactured semifinished part using MMAM tcode and getting following error.
The Purchase Order displayed is already received & invoice complete.
Error****************************
Purchase orders exist
The two material types have either different quantity/value updating or a different account category reference.
PO number      Item
P048019        00140
Could you please let me know how to overcome this error..?
Thanks & Regards,
Samay

Samay, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only way to change the material type on a material is if the material has no links. No Purhase Orders against it, no reservations against it, no inventory, etc, etc. The material needs to be "Clean" to change the material type. If it is a fairly old material, this may be a huge task, which is why I suggested just to create a new material and go with that. You would need to do some major clean up to get the material to a state which would allow you to change the material type. I guess you could start by removing the item from the PO which you mentioned earlier. This is only the begining though.

Material Type Change (Val Category Error)

Hi,
I have a problem, I have to change material type of one material. There is stock of that material is 50. I have adjusted the inventory as zero (mov 702) in the current date. Then material type changes thru T-code MMAM, but I want to insert valuation category Z in teh mateiral master, as the material is split valuated. But when maitaining val category display error is coming " valuated stock exist" but there is no stock available. Do I have to zero the stock in the previous period also, if yes, can somebody tell me how to do.
Or there may be another reason.
Full points to helping answers.
Regards
GR

You can only change the valuation class or valuation category under the following circumstances
u2022No stocks are available for the material.
u2022There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
u2022At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
If system is not allowing changing valuation category there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
u2022 2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material, close it.

Dear friends,

Hi,
Goto to V/08 for your pricing procedure, check for the condition type if it is mandatory condition and / or if it is manual condition.
In V/06, select condition type and check the value for Manual entry field

Regarding - Material Type Change

Dear All,
I want to change the material type. Eg. We have material code A (HALB). We have did not used from implementation. Now i want to use the material as a ROH,
but i am not able to change the mateial type, kinldy tell me the flow to change the material type. This material did not have any movement, any open PO`s.
This is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Reg/ Shankar G.

Hi,
If you try to change the material type the system will give you the details of why it cannot be changed.
Please try MMAM and look at the rror log it will give you.
If it wil not allow the change then there is definitely some transaction somewher that will need to be deleted etc.
Let us know what the erro log say and we will try to help.
BE CAREFUL - Don't think that the informationmessage is stopping you. The system will issue a message telling you that you are changing the material type from X to Y, just press enter and the change will take place (or you will get details of any errors).

Material Type Change

Hey Guys,
I like to make change in the material type. What things I need to consider for that? Both the parts have different valuation class but Account category Ref is same. Is there going to be any financial impact? The other thing how I can move the inventory in mass and how I can upload the inventory in mass after changing the material type.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
please ref.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/EN/ff/515ae349d811d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
In you case, having same Account category Ref wont help you, since the account determination for the material type would be based on Valuation Class.

Material type change which has different Acct Category reference

Hi,
Is it possible to change the Material type which has different Account category reference?
Example
Old Material type is HAWA with Account category reference
0005
New Material type is UNBW with Account Category reference 0007
Regards
Vengat

Hi,
Why to change material type? Whats your business requirement? If you will change material type, there will be so many effects to inventory and also to accounting.
Ok ., But try with t. code: MMAM

Material Type Change Implication

Hi all,
What are the implication of changing the material type of existing materials?
Kiki

Hi Kiki
Implication of material typpe change. First of all you can change if the stock is nil.
1) If you have maintained different storage location for different material type. The location will change.
2) Further The valuation for each material type is different.
we have to change accordingly.
3) Screen group selection is based on the material type, this will change.
4) Procurement type will be based on the material type.
5) Material group is based on material type.
6) Even base unit will be different for different material type. in some industries for Ex FERT and HALB will be in PC, EA etc., and ROH will be in Kgs.
Hope this will clear your doubt.

Spilit vauated material type changing

Dear Sir
How to change the material type which is subjected to split valuation
Thanks
Maruthi

Hi Vikas,
Check the attributes of the material types, it should be same for both of them, i.e the quantity and value update should be same for both old and new material types.
Also check if there are any open PO's against the Old purchase order.
The account category reference should be same for both the material types. check in the config for the accont category reference.
hope this helps..

Material type change for split valuation

We have to change to material type for materials having split valuation.
Suggest the required

The material type is stored in table MARA, however, MM17 can not change all fields that are contained in a table. MM17 is not a table modification tool, it just supports business process of mass changing some field contents. It is more like mass process MM02. But the fields that cannot even easily changed in MM02 like base unit of measure, batch managment flag are not supported within MM17. Material type cannot even be changed in MM02.
There are that many checks that need to be performed and cause a failure, that you cannot do such in a mass change transaction.
It is certainly possible to record MMAM to finally do this with batch input, CATT or LSWM for many materials. But first try it manually for 10-20 materials to make your experience.
By the way, dont forget the number range. If you change material type, then the material number will remain, which may screw up your number range logic (that is often defined after heavy and long discussions. If you have different number ranges per material type, then you should block the transaction MMAM for anybody)

Material Type Changes

My client currently has all materials created as NLAGs but wants to start tracking inventory.
They do not want to change the material number.
There are sales orders active for materials.
Can anyone give me some guidance on all the things we need to watch when changing the material type?
I'm not certain what if any financial acitivity is associated with the materials today but somehow think there is none. We have active orders and need to ensure the material with the new type replaces the old material with the wrong type - don't forget it is the same material number.
Thanks for any input.

you can change the material type from NLAG to any other with transaction MMAM. SAP will tell you
But this is only one part of the medal.
Even your material number stays, Idoupt if your current sales orders/deliveries can handle the new siuation with inventory that needs to be issued. For NLAG materials you usually use a different item category in SD than for inventoried materials.
MMAM makes a lot checks, and I think you cannot even perform MMAM if orders exist for your material.

Error during material creation

Dear Experts ,
I am trying to create a material with KMAT material type & a particular industry sector .
but i am getting a message " Operation not possible (e.g. incorrect material type or plant)"
Message no. M3327
Diagnosis
It is not possible to access the user department required because not all of the maintenance statuses have been entered for the plant in Customizing, and/or for the material type. For example, if the maintenance status D (material requirements planning) is missing for a plant, all MRP screens are deactivated for this plant.
Procedure
Check the setting for the field Maintenance status in Customizing for the Material Master in Define reference for plant-specific field + screen selection. You can display the meaning of the maintenance statuses by displaying the possible entries.
How do i go about it ??
Regards
Anis

Dear,
If the required views are not maintained this message will appear.
Check the details in the Transaction: OMS2.
Select the relevant Views and save, then only you can proceed further with the Material Master.
It may be possible that some one must have deactivated the SAP Standard VIews selection in OMS2.
Also check with transactions: OMSA, OMS3, OMS9 & OMSR.

Syed Hussain.
