Help with material group and customer

this is what i'm trying to do. i've segregated all my ferts into material groups. now when i go into va01 to create sales order and enter customer, i want it the system to suggest material that is only relevant for that customer, by material group, not by sales view which is the current setting. is there a way i can link customer to a material group? and if i do that will it suggest material for that customer when i goto the line item to enter material??

Dear Friend,
Frist difference Dynamic Product Proposal & Listing / Exclusion:
Dynamic Product Proposal is just list of Materials that is proposed as soon as you enter Customer Code in Sales Order. Customer can order materials that are not contained in Dynamic Product Proposal. It is for ease of Order Entry.
Listing / Exclusion is a List of maintained in system which restricts Customer to Order mateirals not mentioned in LIsting,
Thus in your case List / Exclusion is better option
As far as Config is concerned if you want to restrict the Materials based on Customer Code then no config. changes is required because the standard table 001 (Customer / Material) is already available.
Just maintain Condition Record in VB01 & try to create Sales Order. You will clearly see the effect.
Only config. you will need is this:
IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Listing/Exclusion - Activate listing/exclusion by sales document type (To activate Listing / exclution for your Sales Document Type. Maintain A00001 & B00001 here.
Hope this helps.. .
Thanks,

Payment Card Information with Material Groups and Work Orders

When processing purchase transactions that were purchased using a payment card, standard functionality in SAP says the system automatically generates a parked document with authorized users allowed to post these documents. When these documents are being posted, does anyone know if the user can enter a material group and/or a work order number for reporting purposes?

If your business is privately held then SOX does not apply to you. If your business has stock w/shareholders then it does.
Correcting or making the material group more accurite is something that would be MORE SOX complient and not a violation.

Help with RAW files and custom white balance.

ive long had this issue with RAW shooting and adobe photoshop and lightroom, my main subject is a saltwater reef aquarium that is lit by artificial lighting, i shoot canon and use the custom white balance setting to get everything looking proper and it works good.. to an extent.. if i shoot jpg the photos all turn out as shot, if i shoot RAW the white balance in adobe programs is totally messed up and you cant fix it.. if i use DPP by canon, its perfect and looks just as shot or just a a jpg would look.. my question is how can i get adobe lilightroom to render my RAW files correctly.
below are all 3 images, first one was converted and exported to jpg in canon DPP without any adjustments and is what the photo should look like, second has been exported from photoshop, and 3rd i added a link to the actual RAW file. why cant my lightroom interpret these properly?
heres a link to the actual RAW file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5a39ctllwgrem7a/_MG_8971.CR2
this was a raw converted in canon dpp, and its what the aquarium looks like, and is what the photo should look like. just to note, any other editing or viewing program besides adobe products all render the image correctly.
this is what photoshop and lightroom do to my Raw files, theres no way to adjust anything to get even remotely close to correct..

The white-balance Temperature of this image as computed by the camera is way beyond the 50,000K upper limit as you can see when you open the file in LR or ACR, so Adobe cannot reach the As Shot WB temperature number and stops at 50,000K which is still too blue -- although EXIFtool says: Color Temp As Shot : 10900, so maybe Adobe's wildly high 50,000K number is based on a faulty camera profile that exaggerates blues:
However, using the Camera Standard makes things not nearly so garish blue, and it is possible to use Photoshop to neutralize things even more:
However, as you say, other raw converters do ok with this image despite the high WB temperature, so I think the Canon T3/1100D profile needs some work, but probably won't get it since it is not a high-end camera.
For example, here is the default conversion from LibRaw that is part of RawDigger, and in my opinion is an improvement on the camera rendering though perhaps lacks a bit of saturation:
As another example, here is RawTherapee's conversion, after I neutralized the auto-tone and color values it applies by default, and appears to be a bit too saturated but that could be easily adjusted:
I would agree that Adobe is doing something wrong with this camera in this lighting. A clue is the bright green color of the top-central coral which seems to be yellow in the non-Adobe renderings.

Help with Radio Group and Web Service

Hi,
I created a Radio Group with Dynamic Entry List (Web Service). It seems my list keeps coming back empty. I am on SP10.
When I deploy I get warnings that "Entry List is missing output fields mapping. I think this is a warning only because I don't have my form connected to any other components. I just want to see the radio group populated. I don't think this is the cause.
I see references out there to this "Dynamic List" not working until SP12? Can anyone add some insight to what is wrong? unsupported until later?
Thanks!

I created a new model and the new model works fine. Something must be cached.

Customer Groups and Customer Credit Groups

Hello
I was going through the documentation for Credit Management, but I was confused on what the difference was between customer groups and customer CREDIT Groups.. both of them sort of have the same definition, then what is the difference ?
Please help me out.
Regards,

Hi Raj,
For your info :
The credit group groups together different business transactions which should be dealt with in the same manner with regard to the credit check.
You enter the credit groups when you configure the sales document types for credit management and define the automatic credit check.
Default settings
The following credit groups are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System:
01 = credit group for sales order
02 = credit group for delivery
03 = credit group for goods issue
Actions
1. Check whether you can use the credit groups in the standard system.
2. If you need to create new credit groups, enter an alphanumeric key with two characters and a descripion for the credit group.
A customer group tells to which a customer can belongs to.
You specify the customer group for sales data in the customer master record for each sales area.
The SAP System copies this specification automatically into the sales documents at header and item level. Here, you will find the customer group on the detail screen for general business data.
Actions
1. Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 characters and a description for the customer groups.
2. Make sure that the customer groups are entered in the customer master records.
Hope it helps. Pl reward if useful.

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.

Hi Experts,
Release strategy for Purchase requisition already configured with characteristics Document type and Total net order Value.
For fulfill new requirement we have created New character with Material group.Our requirement is for Two material groups separate release strategy has to be trigger and remaing other material groups old release strategy has to be trigger.For exple if X and Y are two material groups ,which require seperate release strategy.Other than X and Y material groups requir old release strategy.
all the material groups assigned to character.Blank material group also assigned to the character.In release strategy level in classification view we have assigned two material groups( X and Y ) for separate release strategy and remaining material groups and Blank material group to old release strategy.
   At the time of creation of PR if i give two material groups ( X and Y)for different line items, seperate release strategy is not triggering, where as old release strategy is triggeringIf i create PR with single material group( X) for all line items it is triggering seperae release strategy properly.
   For other material groups (other then X and Y )with different line items it is triggering old release strategy properly.
      Kindly help me to resolve the problem.

Link between Material group and GL account

Hi Friends ,
Need your help in the following issue
Where is the link between Material group and GL account. i.e. If material group is selected in PO then the GL account for the material should get picked up automatically in PO (for account assigned POs) ?
What I know is
1. In Account assignment category configuration we need to assign the value "VBR" in Account Modification field.
2. In Material group configuration we need to assign the vluation class for material group
3. In Account determination(OBYC) for GBB transcation type for the combination of general modifier "VBR" & Valuation class we need to assign the GL account .
When PO is created with respective account assignment category the GL account is picked from the above setting.
My question is , "Is there any other setting apart from the above which will decide the GL account in PO fro account assigned POs"?
Thanks
Deva

Hi,
From IMG> Material Management> Purchasing> Material Master> Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master,
With it you can define the G/L account assignment according to the relationship between material group and valuation class, from my point of view, you had better define some valuation class for non-produciton parts in advance.
Good luck

Material replication from R/3 to SRM - Issue with Material group

Hello All,
                  I am working on BADI PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2 and method MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIALMaterial replication part from R/3 to SRM.
I am using a Ztable to map r/3 material group to SRM material group(Product category).
For example Material M1 with material group 100 is transferred to SRM. Material group(Product category) 100 exist in SRM, but I am changing the material group to 200 in the product_customer2 badi. its working fine.
In another scenario, Material with material M1 with material group 300. Material group(product category) 300 does not exist in SRM,
I am changing the material group to 200 in the bdoc, in the product_customer2 badi. It is not working. The LUW is failing in SMQ2 transaction with the error "Error in Mapping (Details: transaction SMW01)". The BDOC is failing with error "Category for material group 300 does not exist"
I tried to deactivate the badi PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2, even then the FM MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS is validating the material group from R/3.
I tried to change the material group 300 to the existing material group 200 at initial stage in debugging in function module MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS but still the bdoc is failing with error "No storage form defined for product type 01 / logical system".
I am doing my testing using the following steps.
1. change the material descriptioni in MM02 in R/3.
2. An item is displayed in the queue in SMQ2 in SRM.
3. I have debugged the LUW and analyzed my badi by setting breakpoint at method MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL, its changing the material group in the bdoc properly.
   that didnt work.
   also i tried to change the material group in the function module MAP_BAPIMTCS_AND_PROCESS before the badi is called.
4. I am checking the BDOc status using tcode SMW01 and checking the material using tcode COMMPR01.
can someone tell me how I can change the R/3 material group to SRM material group at the time of mapping in SRM?
Thanks
Sathish PM

Hi find below for the product cat
Steps to create the product category in SRM:
1) Create MM material groups in ECC client. This will create a transport. Go to SRM Tcode R3AS and select the object u201CDNL_CUST_PROD1u201D from the list and run it. You can monitor the job using R3AM1 in SRM. This will bring the material group into SRM. This can be seen in TCode u201CCOMM_HIERARCHYu201D in SRM.
2) Once it is done. Go to IMG in SRM and go to path SRM> SRM server> Cross app biz settings> Account aassigmnet> Define GL code for Acc *** Cat and Prod Cat. Maintain the GL code against this prod cat for all the account assignment codes. This is client specific setting and need to be done in every client by opening it. This GL code is given in the form in ticket.
3) Do a test and check if the product category is available for procurement in SC.

Material Groups and assocaited valuation class and cost element.

Hi Gurus
Please help
I can see in the config the material group and associated valuation class is for Items without a materisl master, however where is the cost element derived, as I cannot see this data anywhere.
Regards

Hi
For some POs on cost center, (account assignment category K for example), you should have to enter a material group.
In configuration, you will assign a valuation class to these material groups (in spro, tcode OMQW). SAP will derive the cost element by reading table T030 (tcode OBYC) for the given valuation class.

GRN with material group

The PO cretaed with material group ( non coded materail)
We have some material( non coded materail) received from Manufacturer for which we don't want to take Cenvat Credit. So, What option we need to select in GRN Excise Tab? We have maintained conditions of Excise credit in PO. And material is non-coded. So, where will Excise value will go in MIRO transaction.
while doing Goods reciept, in Excise invoce tab both header & item level what values need to be enter like ( material type: Asset, Non Cenvatable etc..)
Please inform the overall procedure for it.
regards,
Obulesu

Hi,
Excise value is dependent on chapter id, so for no coded material, excise tab will never come during gr.
