Grouping of Materials

Is it possible to to assign one new material number for a group of materials?
I need to group these materials (example: matl1, matl2, matl3) so that I can use it for promotional sale and it should have just one price. Each material has its own material number and can be sold separately.
Please guide me.

Hi Anwar,
It is possible to group few materials into one group,in material master basic data 1 tab you can find material group here you assign the group no,once you assign this no to few materials those materials are comes under that group.For giving the price for this material group you need to select material group apart from your other org elements from field cataloger while crating the condition table.In VK11 you will maintain the price for the material group so that the price will applies to all materials which comes under the material group.
You can create your own material group by the T.code OMSF.
Thanks

Pricing on the basis of specific group of materials by cumulating values

Dear SAP Gurus,
There is a requirement to cumulate the values of a certain group of material AND provide discount on the basis of that on the sales order.For example ,
group 1 =mat A mat B if 1000 give 5%
group 2 =mat c mat D if 2000 give 10%
So at sales order
mat A 1000
mat B 500
mat C 400
In this situation ,group 1should be activated only and discount should be given and distrbuted on A and B.What will be the method and condition type for this situation.

Sam Ahmed

This is part of standard SAP pricing functionality.
In V/06 check K029.
Important fields to be activated are -
In V/06, for your cond type
Group condition
Scale basis
Create Material pricing gr. = G1
and give it in MMR, MM02, Tab Sales: Sales Org 2, field "Material pricing group" in Materials A, B
Then create the cond record in VK11 for your cond type (e.g. K029) with scales.
If all settings are correct, then for sales order
Mat A shall get discount
Mat B shall get discount
Mat C shall NOT get discount

BOM reports using a group of Materials

Hi all
I am looking at standard SAP BOM reports CS11, CS12, CS13. All of them require that I enter a Material number. Do we have standard reports where we can look at BOM using a generic group of materials example where multiple selection of materials is allowed, or selecting BOMs using for all materials belonging to a material group etc.
thanks a lot

Hi John,
There are no Standard reports available for BOM.
You may consider creating a query or an ABAP report.
If you are planning to develop a report you may use the Function module CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ which will list the BOM for a material in Internal tables

Shipping point not defaulting loading group for materials

Hello all,
I would like to know how to set up a particular shipping point defaulting to particular loading group for certain group of materials. would this change has to be done manually in the material master or is there any customizing changes that has to be done for this change.
Thanks,
Maxx

Maxx,
This sounds like standatd Shipping Point Determination.
1. Create a Loading group for your material
> Logistics Execution > Shipping > Basic Shipping Functions > Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination > Define Loading Groups
2 Assign that new Loading Group to your material(s)
> Tcode MM01, MM02
3. Assign combination of Shipping condition, Loading Group, Plant, & the desired Shipping Point
> Logistics Execution > Shipping > Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination > Assign Shipping Points

Change group of materials

Hi,
I've changed the material group of one of my materials to a material group I've just created. It hasn't returned any mistake but, when I see the stock of the new material group the stock hasn't been assigned to this group. I mean, it seems like it the material wouldn't have changed of material group.
Can anybody tell if I must change something more in this material?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

HI,
SAP captures statistics data based on material group and has several reports in information system for material group.
If the material master is changed, then those statistics will not change. As a change effects only data created after a change.
So check how the stock was put i.e with what group.
Below are few points- impact of changing the material group
1. Change the material group will lead the confusion in the Reports (Old and New mtl grp in std and customized report)
2.If the PR release Strategy is based on material group, then you need to change the classification with the new material Group,, If there is any open Release- release it fully before you do change here
3. All the PO/PR/Outling agreements will not get update automatically,, Have to do manually
4. As far as stock Material is concerned there is no impact on Finance side.
5.Any material group contracts will be affected

Grouping specific Materials together when running heuristics.

Hi,
I'd like to know what options are available to me to for keeping Orders for specific Materials grouped together when running heuristics.
For example, I have three Materials: Material A, Material B and Material C. Now, I want Material C to always be scheduled after Material B, but only if sufficient demand exists for it prior to the next run of Material B.
Maybe this illustration will help explain matters:
Week     SKU
1     Material A
2     Material A
3     Material B
4     Material C
5     Material A
6     Material B
7     Material A
8     Material A
9     Material B
10     Material C
11     Material A
12     Material A
13     Material C
So, in week 3, I need to produce Material B, but because Material C is required before I next produce Material B (week 6) and Material C must always follow Material B, a run of Material C is scheduled into week 4.
Is there a strategy I can use that will do this for me? Any pointers welcome.
Thanks,
Matty

Matty
Is this sequence fixed or is it going to vary every week. Like in your example , if you are always going to plan material C before material B , then how about scheudling a heuristic run for material C first and then a second heuristic run for material B (this has to run on success of the first heuristic run).
Thanks
Aparna
Hi Aparna,
Thanks for replying (and apologies for the delay - I've been on holiday!).
The sequence will always be the same: Material B followed by Material C. I can run heuristics indepedently for both Materials, but the problem with doing this is that it will simply schedule orders based on the demand of each, not considering the fact that these Materials need to be produced consecutively.
To confirm: Material B and Material C need to be 'glued' together production timing-wise, and then Material A will be scheduled in the gapsaround to fill up the capacity.
Does this make any more sense now?
Thanks,
Matty

Is there a way of combining a large number of materials into a grouping cod

Greetings,
Is there a way of combining a large number of materials into a grouping code, so that and end-user can manage this grouping... adding and removing materials... for auctions?
The materials will likely span material groups in R/3, and there could be thousands of materials. Shopping cart templates would be cumbersome.
I was thinking about a special catalog characteristic with defined names to manage the various groups of materials.
I appreciate any advice... also in awarding points.
Jessica

Hi Jessica
This is my understanding:
- You want to 'Specially group' materials other than material group. Each special group, may consists of materials from many material groups.
- User(s) pick materials from this group during 'Auction' creation or 'shopping cart' creation.
Am I right ?
Looks like using 'Catalog' is the option.
- MDM Catalog 'mask' or other Catalogs views to have user specific catalog view
- Maintenance of this catalog by user could become a problem. Then, you need to give content mgmt rights to user

How to display different subtotal text for each group in alv report

Hi,
i need to display subtotal text as "totals of Mat1" for material numbers 1 to 10 as group1 and again i need to display subtotal text as " totals of Mat2" for material number 11 to 20.
group 2.
Please help me asap.

You can create subtotals by columns.
You would need extra column to group the materials( 1 to 10 GROUP1 20 to 30 GROUP2 by example) and use this column for subtotals

One pr for multiple materials with line items while running mrp

Hi SAP gurus,
              I am config the system for MRP as per my client requerement.
                 We use CBP for different RAW materialsfor example they having a 10 materials for planning,were,
         MRP type is VB,
          LOT size is FX,with Different Reorder points and fix order quantity for all materials,
         My client whant run MRP for all these materials in single time that means they whant multiple item at single levels,
        i soles these requirement with the help of Product Group(sop) and its working but when we running md02 for product group all materials have planed and they give different purchase requistion numbers for all these materials but my client Wants single purchase requistion with line items for all these materials.
     Pls give me the solution for that requirement.
thanks and Regards,
abhi

this is not the way SAPs MRP run works.
Where is the benefit for this?
the requisitions are not even split into header and item table, it is just one table EBAN, and either way you would get exact the same number of records in EBAN.

Missing Item Category Group data in Material SD data in CRM

Hi crm experts,
Please help us. We are trying to identify what's the rootcause of the problem we experienced in CRM regarding the Item category group. We are maintaining material master in ECC and it will be replicated in CRM via middleware. The data item category group is properly maintained in ECC but when we checked in CRM, only 3 of the sales areas have it.
Sales Area 1 - YES
Sales Area 2 - NO
Sales Area 3 - YES
Sales Area 4 - YES
So we will do a request load for the data to show also on Sales Area 2.
Item category group were maintained in the ff tables:
ECC table TPTM
CRM table CRMV_ITEM_CAT_GR
Can you please let us know how we can pin point this problem so that this will not happen again? We want to apply a permanent solution if there is. Hoping for your kind assistance. Thanks!
Best regards,
Mike

hi
General item category group
Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing.
*If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent

" Item Category Group" in the material master?

Hi,
I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
2) Create a new "item category Y001 (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
     "Delivery Type" EL    +
     "Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001    +
     "Item Usage" V     +
     'Item Category Of The Higher-Level Item"
     ==> "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?
Thanks.

Alternate Group in BOM

Hi experts,
I'm having the problem with Alternate group in BOM. I'm maintaining the the raw materials in BOM i.e A1,A2,A3,A4 like that number of materials is there.
I'm grouping the materials with alternate group
A1: Alt Grp-01, Priority-1, Strategy-2, Usage-100%
A2: Alt Grp-01, Priority-2, Strategy-2, Usage-0%
A3: Alt Grp-01, Priority-3, Strategy-2, Usage-0%
A4: Alt Grp-01, Priority-4, Strategy-2, Usage-0%
I given the qty for all raw materials is 100kg.
While i'm converting planned order to Process order. The BOM materials is taking as
A1 - 1000kg
A2 - 0kg
A3 - 0kg
A4 - 0kg
Why 1000kg taken and I don't need the materials A2, A3 and A4 in the process order. Is there any option to get drop-down list. May be its customizing.
Naren

Dear
Why do not your go for Discontinued Material concept in case if you think that A2/A3/A4 should be be considered based on the stock avaliablity .
In MRP4 view for material A1 , you can keep the Discontinued Material , Effective Out Date , Discontinued Material Indicator as 1 so that when ever there is a stock un-availablity , it should be considered while planning and sub sequently in process order .
When copiying BOM to Prococessd order , there is no operatunity to change the qty because it happens automatically based on the order type dependent parametrs for process order (OPL8 ) but you can change the qty in process order change mode -compoenet over view .
If you are maintaining production verion , you can implement BAdI MD_MODIFY_PRODVERS or MODIFY_PRODUCTION_VERSION based on stock situation .
