Please help.

    There is no Inventory report with external material group field in SAP so consult Abaper to develop the customized report.

  • Material list by "External material group"

    gurus
    I'd like to retrieve materials which has particular "External material group".
    But in MM60, there is no selection field for  "External material group".
    Other than SAP query, is there any way?

    Well, you can restrict SE16N t-code for security reason.
    But you can give the SE16 t-code to view the table (basically to MM users).
    If you want to give only table access MARA, then you can give it via a t-code.
    You can only give the MARA table view by a Z t-code, whenever user will enter the t-code, system will take him directly to the table (As per my previous screen shot). He can't select another table.
    If you are interested with that, then I can give you the steps. But first, let me know if you want to go with this option.

  • External Material Group- how to find classes/subclasses

    Do you know how I can find all the classes or subclasses that are listed on an external material group?
    I know how to check all the external material groups that are on a class, but not vice versa.
    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    I ve never worked with external material groups.
    But  I know that they are defined and stored in table TWEW.
    And when used in a material master, then the external material group is stored in material master table MARA in field EXTWG.
    the field in TWEW is 18 characters long, and how you define the usage of this field content is up to yourself.
    how does this link with classes/subclasses? do you use classification for assignment of external material groups?
    or do you just mean these external material groups have a kind of structure in your system  like  class and subclass (which then would jsut be a text in table TWEW as well)

  • 'External Material Group MARA-EXTWG

    Currently we are not using field 'External Material Group' (MARA-EXTWG , MM03, basic data 1 ) in Material Master.
    Now we have a requirement where in we want to categorise material further other than then category defined in Material Group .
    We identified this field as a potention place where in we can define our new categories.
    I just want to confirm, if we need some other configruation other than defining the master data for this field.
    Is this field is being used in some process.
    What other things can be affect with this fields in use.

    Hi Pawan
    External material group is for further subdivision of material. As per your requirement, you can use this field. There is no link with other module because it is a basic data view.

  • External Material Group (UNSPC)

    We would like to use the External Material Group field on the Material Master to house our UNSPC Codes.  We would then use the Material Group field to develop and In-house code that is more intuitive for our Buyer's to enter on Purchase Orders to better track Spend Visibility. 
    Can the External material Group field be used for this purpose?  Will if cause any problems with upgrades in the future and or right no (we currently don't use the field)?  Are there other companies who have suggestions on how they looked at their Spend Visibility for Procurement?  Thanks!

    Hi,
    You should be OK to use the field as you indicate.
    As for text based PO spend, I normally use one of two options. I either use material groups (as long as they are specific enough and as long as there are not too many of them). This comes with useful config help in the MM > Purchasing > Material Master > Entry aids for items without a material master ./ This config allows you to link a valuation class to the material group so that the correct accounts are used (and a specific purchasing value key).
    The other option is to use material masters for the text POs, remember that you can change the text on a material master PO item and so you can then set up some basic material masters for things such as "It consultant", "Advertising campaign" etc. and then when the user enters the order they either change the text or add additional text on the item. This way you can then analyse the spend as normal, i.e. by material. It gives you a lot more functionality than simple items with free format text and you are more likely to be comparing similar POs than by just relying on free format texts where users will ALWAYS put things like "Temp" or "as authorised by Fred" etc.
    You can then prevent users from entering free format texts and forcing them to use material masters and so you will at least have something to compare / reprot on.
    I hope this helps

    Koti

    Hi Reddy,
    Material group
         It is used to group together several materials or services with
         the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
    External Material Group
         You can use it to assign the material to a material group determined
         according to external systematics.

  • Difference between material group and external material group

    Hi,
    Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
    Thanks

    Hi Raghunandan,
    Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
    Material groups are Extensively useful during :
    Limit the Scope of Analysis
    Reporting Purpose
    External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
    In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material  which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
    In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it

  • Hi gurus, can any one tell me where can i add the material group

    hi there,
    i wana add material group, external material group and product hierarchy in the sap?
    can any one let me know the program name or the t-code
    thanks

    Hi,
    Follow the below T.Code and the path for the required information..
    Material Group  - OMSF
    External Material Group -
    SPRO --> Logistics - General --> Material Master --> Settings for Key Fields --> Maintain External Material Groups
    Product Hierarchy -
    SPRO --> Logistics - General -->Material Master --> Settings for Key Fields --> Data Relevant to Sales and Distribution --> Define Product Hierarchies.
    Hope this helps..

  • Importance and uses of material group

    Hi All,
    I need to know the importance of Material Group and where all it is used in Procurement.
    Regards ,
    Ritesh.

    hi,
    Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
    You can use material groups to:
    Restrict the scope of analyses
    Search specifically for material master records via search helps
    Maintain External Material Groups
    In this step you can assign a material to an external material group, or to a material group that was created using externally-defined (non-SAP) structures.
    u will get the settings under menu path:
    SPRO > IMG > LOGISTIC GENERAL > MATERIAL MASTER > SETTINGS FOR KEY FIELDS > DEFINE MATERIAL GROUPS.
    for service PO we have to assign the valuation class to material group under the menu path:
    SPRO > IMG > MATERIAL MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > MATERIAL MASTER > ENTRY AIDS FOR ITEMS WITHOUT A MATERIAL MASTER.
    can assign a purchasing value key and a valuation class to a material group.
    The assignment of a purchasing value key provides you with default values for reminder levels etc. in purchase order items without a material master record and without an info record.
    The assignment of a valuation class to a material group enables the system to determine different accounts for the individual material groups.

  • 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.
