  • 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

  • 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

  • How to change the Mesure Group ID, without losing the existing partitions in cube developement

    Hello all,
    I am creating my cube and i created measure groups and partitions for those Measure Groups. The problem is now i want to change the measure group id. but when i do that, i am losing my partitions and aggregations on those partitions. is there way to change
    the measure group id with out effecting/losing the partitions? please let me know your thoughts.

    Though its not my question, but just curious, where these references might be? What are we looking for?
    Are you talking of permissions in Roles etc or its somewhere additional we might have references?
    Not it will not be in permissions or roles. Off the top of my head you would be looking for references to "Measure Group1" in child objects of the measure group, so partitions and aggregations and maybe calculated measures. They would most likely look something
    like the following:
    <MeasureGroupID>Measure Group1</MeasureGroupID>

  • How to change the account group of a customer master?

    Would like to change Ship-to's to Sold-to's.  I know the transaction XD07, but when trying to promote a SH to SP, I receive the error
    The planned change is not allowed as the following field groups would be masked by the new account group.
    Below the error the table displays Group Name PO Box City and Address.
    How do i bypass this and successfully change the ship-to to a sold-to?

    Hi ,
        Chek out ur new account group for Sold to party ,whether all the fields in address tab is marked either optional /required. It should not be in display /supress mode then only u can successfully change ur SH account to SP account.
          I think , Number ranges should be same.
    if itz not  da same number range system will give the message ,but it will allow to change the account group.
    As I successfully worked in this issue earlier.
    As we all know, we only change the account group from lower to heigher,
    ie. sh,bp,py to SP only not viceversa.

  • 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.

  • How to change the replication group information after db files are created

    Since group information is persisted in the database, I am wondering if there is a way to update the information.
    We want to implement some kind of Berkeley DB master relay mechanism for our two data centers, which has slow link in between. Basically have one master populating a database file and launch another two node as master to replay that to other nodes of its own group. It will be much efficient this way so we don't have to copy the data multiple times over the slow link.
    We periodically (once a day) update the Berkeley DB content from customer's feed on a backend node and upload (rsync) the Berkeley DB File to two the data centers. We would like to have a master node in each data center to read the pre-populated data file, replicate the changes to the web node (read only) while they are still running. I simulated local and if I trick the nodeName and nodeHostPort setting, it should work (basically, fake the replication node on the backend node using tampered hostfile so they get registerred). However, it is not very convenient and definitely a dangerous hack on the production servers.
    If there is a way, after the creation, to update the group information (for example, change all the nodes information) without corrupt the log file/replication stream, it will be much easier for us. Basically, we would like to have the node/group information and data file de-coupled?
    Any ideas how to do that, or is there a better way to design such a replay of data using Berkeley DB?
    Thanks in advance!

    2. You mentioned to not clean up the log file. Is there a point where I can safely call clean up on the environment when BDB is still online as I can imagine we will run out of space very soon if we don't clean up.The approach outlined above (steps 1 to 5) will ensure that no log files are deleted on A while you are updating B and C. The use of DbBackup ensures this. For more information on how this works, see the DbBackup javadoc.
    Whether this causes you to run out of disk space on A is something you'll have to evaluate for yourself. It depends on the write rate on A and how long it takes to do the copy to B and C. If this is a problem, you could make a quick local copy of the environment on A, and then transfer that copy to B/C. But you must prohibit log file deletion during the copy, using DbBackup, or the copy will be invalid.
    You should perform explicit JE log cleaning (including a checkpoint) before doing the copy to B/C. This will reduce the number of files that are copied to B/C, and will reduce the likelihood that you'll fill the disk on A. See the javadoc for Environment.cleanLog for details on how to do an explicit log cleaning.
    In your earlier post, it sounded like the updates to A were in batch mode -- done all at once at a specific time of day. If so, you can do the copy to B/C after the update to A. In that case, I don't understand why you are afraid of filling the disk on A, since updates would not be occurring during the copy to B/C.

  • How to change the name of an existing user?

    i found this command on this other website but i have been hesitant to try it because im araid it might screw everything up
    usermod -l login-name old-name
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-chan … r-name-id/
    now my understanding is that i would also need to manually rename the home directory, but my question is what else will i need to do
    so far all i can think of that i might need to change is home directory and sudoers file
    i have searched abit on google for info about changing a users name but there seems to be a slight lack of documentation available on this subject
    before i dive into this and possibly screw something up, does anybody here have any experience with changing users names?
    if so what other problems might i run into?
    do i need to change my uid also or can i keep the existing one?

    problem # 1
    the user that i am changing is currently named arch and i want to name it to awesome (i am making seperate users for different WM's)
    so i loged in as tj because
    usermod will not allow you to change the name of a user who is logged
           in. You must make certain that the named user is not executing any
           processes when this command is being executed if the user's numerical
           user ID is being changed. You must change the owner of any crontab
           files manually. You must change the owner of any at jobs manually. You
           must make any changes involving NIS on the NIS server.
    i did
    su -
    (to become root)
    i ran the command and changed the users name
    usermod -l awesome arch
    i then became awesome to test that it worked
    su awesome
    it worked so i exited back to tj
    exit
    i became root again
    su -
    i renamed /home/arch to /home/awesome
    cd /home
    mv arch awesome
    it all seemed to work
    i became awesome again
    su awesome
    i noticed that i get 
    bash-3.2$
    instead of
    [awesome@myhost ~]$
    if i do cd ~ it says
    bash: cd: /home/arch: No such file or directory
    so basically my question now is..
    what file do i need to edit to change the location of the home directory that the user is using?

    Hi All,
    I need to change the SID of the development and quality system without making a system copy.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Change the Material type & Material industries

    Hi Expert,
                      I have created one material code. Suppose that Material Code is " XYZ"
    Material code : "XYZ"
    Material Type : FERT
    Industry sector: Chemical industries
    I want to Change material type & Industry sector.
    Please help me how i change the  Material type & Industry sector.
    Best Regards
    Shashi Singh

    Hi
    I want to Change material type & Industry sector.
    Changing the material type for a material is possible as it has been well explained by other friends
    It is because a semifinished goods  one material type  can become a finished goods another material type
    Changing the industry sector is not possible at all
    Once industry sector is assigned to a material you cant change it at all

  • How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in R/3?

    Hello All.
    In case of MM, purchasing group is assigned to material master.
    It means purchasing group is maintained based on material code.
    But SRM has different maintenance level.
    As you know that purchasing group has the responsibility based on material group (Product category).
    So we should change the purchasing group from R/3, when end user create shopping cart.
    How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in material master?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,
    SH.

    Hello So Hee,
    I am not a technical guy.
    But for your requirement i am building a logic.
    I am not sure whether it will work.
    You need to check with your ABAPER.
    It is as below:
    When the SC is approved and the other configuration is correct ,
    PR is created in ECC by the virtue of BAPI.
    You want that the pur grp should be populated on the base of matl code and not on matl grp.
    Hence in SC you will not fill up pur grp.
    In the programme for BBPSC01 i.e. SC creation you will add modification that it will call a custom FM.
    This custom FM will get the matl code from SC and will find the value of pur grp from R/3 MM01i.e. matl master(you may get in MARA).
    Now in the BAPI you need to incorporate this additional value of yr pur grp field.
    So the desired pur grp as per yr R/3 matl master will be populated in yr R/3 PR.
    Again: this is all hypothesis.
    That's all I can help you.
