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.

regards,
zafar

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.

Error (Short Dump) while posting any Material document

Hello All Experts,
I am facing an error (short dump) while doing all material document related transactions (for example MIGO,MB1A etc) . I am getting the below message:-
Short text of error message:
Document number 1000 5000000000 2009 was already assigned
Earlier, I had posted some material documents using the same transactions.
Kindly help
Regards,
Atul

Hi Atul,
Please use T-code OMBT to check the number range status of material document. You can click on the 'Intervals' button to check the 'Current number', the last material document number the system was created so far. Try to change the 'Current number' to a number greater than 5000000001, save the change, and post material document again.
Hope it can solve your issue.
Cheers

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.

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 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,
Did you find a solution to this?

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 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

Mauro

Hi Experts,
We are getting a error while changing the status of technical change document that " Inconsistent characteristic value assignment" .The document is in status "in use" and we are trying to change it to " old version" using T code CV02N.
when I tried to see the error desription it is telling that delete the inconsistencies. But I didn't find the list of incosistencies. What may be the problem? Please help me out to get ride of this problem.
Thanks and best regards,
Praveen

Hi Pete,
The full text message: Inconsistent characteristic value assignment
Message no. C1821
In diagnosis it is telling that "You want to change the value assigned to a characteristic. However, the change causes inconsistency, so the new value is not allowed."
Actually I am just changing the status of the document. I am not changing any characteristic value.
Actually it is appearing as information message. but while saving it pop up and not allowing to save.
Please do the needful.

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.

U have assigned return code 5000 in both chain to ur new pipeline link.
OOTB 5000 is already assigned to invoice chain.
U need to change return code to new unassigned value.Also return code must be added in expected return codes in ValidatePaymentGroupByType component.
