How many material groups?

The client i work for has more than 300 material groups? is this normal number of active material groups?

Just discuss with your client and reduce the count from 300 .
check in configuration for T.code OMSF for standard material group and if require create a new material group .

How many ledger groups to create with 4 ledgers?

Hello
We are using new GL in ECC 6.0. If I have 4 ledgers/accounting principles say A,B,C,D. How many ledger groups do I need to set up to allow business to select the right number of ledgers to post to?
4 ledger groups with only 1 ledger assigned: A, B, C, D
3 ledger groups with only 3 ledgers assigned: ABC, BCD, ACD
6 ledger groups with 2 ledgers assigned: AB, BC, CD, AD, AC, BD
1 ledger group with 4 ledgers assigned: ABCD
In total 14 ledger groups?
regards
Arjan

Hi Arjan,
I strongly feel it should be 4 with A, B, C & D unless you have any specific requirement to group them.
Just as a question, do you have specific business requirement to group each of them?
Thanks and regards,
Madhu

How to check how many Material Download from R3 to CRM for 1 sales area

Hi Guys
Thanks in advance.
We are having CRM 5.0 Implementation. In our organization landscape we are having R3 system as well.
All the master data for CRM comes from R3. We are performing the initial download of materials on the basis of Material Type , Sales area.
For Example In R3ac1 T-Code
We have set up filters for "Material" object in such a way that middle ware should allow flow of materials of
material type = xyz
Sales org = 1100
Devision = I0
D.Channel = XX
My filters condition's are working fine.
Now after running the initial download I am want to cross check in CRM ,
How many materials got downloded for material type "XYZ" & for particular sales area "1100"?
Please let me know if there is any table for the same ?
or
If there is any standard report program ?
Thanks & Regards
Abhay Newaskar

Hi Rupesh
The information & Z report is really helpful. But unfortunately its not solved my issue .
In table CNCCRMPRSAP004 there is no entries in my CRM system.
but when I open an Product In COMMPR01 table & go to Sales & Distribution channel tab. Then I can see that this product is available in two salea area.
For example
Product ID : REPAIR-NOWARRANTY
In Tab SAP BASIC data following info available
Category ID : MAT_ZERV
Item Category group :ZERV
In Tab Sales & Distribution
we can see that this product is extended to two sales area.
1206
1290
Now I want to run a report on the basis of following selection
Sales area = 1206
Item category Group = ZERV
Then the report should show me the above product used for example.
Thanks & Regards
Abhay

How many disk groups for +DATA?

Hi All,
Does oracle recommends having one big/shared asm disk group for all of the databases?
In our case we going to have 11.2 and 10g rac running against 11.2 ask...
Am I correct in saying that I have to set asm’s compatibility parameter to 10 in order to be able to use the same disk?
Is this is a good idea? Or should i create another disk group for the 10g db’s?
I’m assuming there are feature that will not be available when the compatibility is reduced to 10g...

what kind of storage system do you have? nas? what is your protocol between server and storage? tcp/ip (=>nfs)? fc?....
if you have a storage with serveral disks then you create mostly more than one lun (raid 0, 1, 5 or whatever). if the requirement is, that you need a 1 TB diskgroup, then I would not create 1 1TB lun, I would create 5x200GB lun's for example, just for the case that you have to extend the diskgroup with a same lun size. if its 1 TB then you have to add another 1TB lun, if there are 5x200GB luns then you can simply add 200GB.
I have nowhere found a document that says: if you have exactly 16 lun's for a diskgroup it's best. it depends on os, storage, etc...
so if you create a 50gb diskgroup I would create just one 50gb lun for example.
hthyes its NAS, connectd using Iscsi. it has 5 disks 1TB each and configued with RAID5. I found below requirments on asm ... it indicates 4luns as minimum per diskgroup, but it doesnt clearify whether its for external redundancy or as mredundancy types.
•A minimum of four LUNs (Oracle ASM disks) of equal size and performance is recommended for each disk group.
•Ensure that all Oracle ASM disks in a disk group have similar storage performance and availability characteristics. In storage configurations with mixed speed drives, such as 10K and 15K RPM, I/O performance is constrained by the slowest speed drive.
•Oracle ASM data distribution policy is capacity-based. Ensure that Oracle ASM disks in a disk group have the same capacity to maintain balance.
•Maximize the number of disks in a disk group for maximum data distribution and higher I/O bandwidth.
•Create LUNs using the outside half of disk drives for higher performance. If possible, use small disks with the highest RPM.
•Create large LUNs to reduce LUN management overhead.
•Minimize I/O contention between ASM disks and other applications by dedicating disks to ASM disk groups for those disks that are not shared with other applications.
•Choose a hardware RAID stripe size that is a power of 2 and less than or equal to the size of the ASM allocation unit.
•Avoid using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) because an LVM would be redundant. However, there are situations where certain multipathing or third party cluster solutions require an LVM. In these situations, use the LVM to represent a single LUN without striping or mirroring to minimize the performance impact.
•For Linux, when possible, use the Oracle ASMLIB feature to address device naming and permission persistency.
ASMLIB provides an alternative interface for the ASM-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. ASMLIB provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity.
one more question about fdisk partitioning. is it correct that we should only create one partition per luns (5x200Gb luns in my case) is it because this way i will have more consistent set of luns( in term of performance)?

2960 switch - How many IGMP groups are supported

I saw that the 2960 can support up to 256 multicast addresses, while performing IGMP snooping. Is that per interface or per the whole machine ?
Thanks.

The number of addresses given is for the whole machine

How to use Material Group in substitution rule

Hello,
Anyone experience in how to use the entry of the material group of a PO, in a substitution rule for accounting documents.
I have noticed the material number can be used within a substitution rule, and is also available in BSEG... so far have not find a solution to do this for a material group.
Please note, this is applicable for PO with no materials (ONLY a material group to use for account determination).
Many thanks,
Daan

How to stop G/L from defaulting material group in work orders

Whenever we create a work order, the material group is pulled from the material master. But, if we have a component on a work order and don't enter in a material number, the material group defaults to electric supplies. From my research, it looks like it is doing this defaulting based upon the default G/L account assigned to components of work orders. Does anyone know how to stop this defaulting?
I might be completely off and it's not related to G/L which in that case this is not the correct forum, so if someone is knowledgeable about this let me know and I can switch the forum areas.
Thanks,

hi ,
Please check the Account Assignment In Po you have created .
for expamole if Po is created with account assignment ctegourt K than account modification is VBR
as in below Path and screen shot
Now check Material group valuation class if you are short text in PO or material master valuatiobn class if you are material Number . For expamaple its is 0001 liek ypur case . Now
Check combination in OBYC in GBB transction for VBR( Assignment category is K in PO ) and valaution class ( of Material master or material group )
Many Thanks

How can I see how many entries in an address Book group ?

I used to be able to see at a glance how many entries there were in any particular group.
This now seems to have vanished :-(
Can I get it back easily ?

I agree with Bengt W. There are many reasons, even in a simple movie, to want to know the timing of things. This is a surprisingly frustrating product. For want of timing information, you are requiring your users to pay $300?
In my situation, I took some video of a show (with the performers permission) with an iPad and an iPod. All I want to do is make a movie with one video as the main position with a series of cutaway clips from the other. It is incredibly frustrating to do this without knowing where you are within each clip.
When helpful and capable forum participants like we have here have to spend time explaining how best to make do with a product, it's a clear indication of a fault with the product. Now, I either have to spend extra time in iMovie making due with this crippled interface, or I have to spend time looking for an alternative product.
Consider this a feature request!

How much RAM do tab groups use (on average)? Do I need to watch out for how many groups I create?

I may have gone overboard in the creation of Tab Groups. I say this because now my system is beginning to act a bit sluggish. I created 7 groups, two of which have 9 or 10 tabs. Should I pull back on the number of groups I create (as well as how many tab are located within each group). That is: How much RAM do tab groups use. How can I calibrate or understand the trade off between these markers and the amount of RAM they use?

You can see the memory usage on the about:memory page.
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

How to create material group in material master.

hi guru's
can anybody explain me how to create a new material group in material master.
i wantto add a material group while creating material master MM01..
thanks
sap-mm

Hi,
In this step you create material groups.
You also have the option of using the same transaction to carry out the following activities:
Creating superior hierarchy levels
Assigning the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
Assigning the base material group to the material group hierarchy
Assigning characteristics profiles below material group level
Requirements
Your R/3 System is configured as an SAP Retail System.
Activities
1. Create superior hierarchy levels
   You create hierarchy levels using transaction WG01 (creating
   material groups) via menu options MG environment --> Hierarchy
   level --> Create
2. Assign the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
   You assign hierarchy levels to a hierarchy using transaction WG01
   (creating material groups) via menu options MG environment -->
   Hierarchy level --> Maint. MG hierarchy
3. Create material groups (base material groups) and then maintain the
   pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material)
4. Assign the base material group to the material group hierarchy
   You assign the material group to the hierarchy using transaction
   WG01 (creating material groups)
5. Assign characteristics profiles below material group level
   You assign characteristics profiles using transaction WG01
   (creating material groups)
Further notes
When creating material groups and then maintaining the pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material) you should be aware of the following.
As these materials can be created automatically using a minimum of data, you should follow this procedure with a check and possibly further maintenance, especially of plant-specific data. The material group reference material should be defined in as much detail as possible so as to keep the workload to a minimum when you have to create more materials for this material group.
All hierarchy allocations involving a material group (base material group) and a higher or lower hierarchy level can be carried out on the initial screen (there is no need to switch to the detail screen). All further hierarchy allocations can be defined top-down when you maintain material group hierarchies.
Only the material groups are transported automatically!
Reward if useful.
