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

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.

Satish

Multiple PO's per material group for same vendor in ME59 / ME59N

HI ,
We have following issue
We create PO's automatically from PR's using ME59 .
PR's are Stock Transport Requisitions for intercompany STO.
in ME59 , options active are Per Plant / Per Vendor Sub Range( Vendor sub range is active but no values maintained )
When we create a PO , then system does not consolidate all items in single PO even if Plant is same . It actually creates a different PO based on Material Group in a line item .
It groups all line items with similar material group in single PO .
What is the issue with material group .
is it not possible to have different line items with different material groups in a single PO in above scenario.
Pls. help.
Thanks ,
Prasad

Ajit ,
That is what I enquired , where do we do this assignment , i.e. Material group to PR document type
I do not know where to do this assignment .
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.

Contracts based on Material Groups....

Can we create Contracts based on material Group?
Like We want to create a contract for Material Group Casting. We want to negotiate terms for Material Group & then procure the part.
How do we do this?
Thanks Anupam

Create a Quantiy Contract with Item Category 'M'- Material Unknown.
Then create PO refering to this contract.
System asks for material number or AAC. It also checks the material group against the one in the contract.
By defaut a warning message is issued if material groups do not match (message MEPO074).
This can be set to 'E' in customising but SAP gives a warning when you trying to set this message as error.
Customising path: SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Environment>Define attributes of system messages.
It is also possible to code this check in PO user exit and issue a custom message.

Material Groups and SOX

Our users create shopping carts in SRM. For the catalog orders, the material group is automatically determined based on the UNSPSC code that is being passed back from the vendor. However, for those non-catalog orders, users must select the appropriate material group. We are finding that not always the best material group is selected. At the time of PO creation, I have been telling the users to change the material group to something more appropriate. Now, I'm being told that this could be an issue with SOX. Does anyone know why?
Is there another solution for changing the material group? Is there a second field within the material group config that can be used or some other field on the PO? We are not using material masters in SRM. It was a major headache prior to SRM and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Issue Search Help Exit for Material Group

Dear Expertsl,
I developed a search help exit for material group for the search helps both H_T023 and H_2023_MEPO to restrict certain material groups from the actual display as follows
1) I developed custom table to hold the Invalid material groups
2) Developed search help as same as in the bellow link
link:[https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/CaseInsensitiveSearchHelpExitforMaterial+Group]
3) Before the statement
    SELECT matkl wgbez wgbez60 FROM t023t INTO s_t023t
      WHERE matkl IN t_matkl
i selected the Invalid materials from the custom table into an internal table
4)    i am restricting the entries with the following code.
LOOP AT a_tab.
only move values that meet the requirements
after you convert to upper case.
     MOVE a_tab-wgbez60 TO a_tab-wgbez60_test.
     TRANSLATE a_tab-wgbez60_test TO UPPER CASE.
        MOVE      a_tab-wgbez        TO a_tab-wgbez_test.
        TRANSLATE a_tab-WGBEZ_test   TO UPPER CASE.
        MOVE      a_tab-wgbez60      TO a_tab-wgbez60_test.
        TRANSLATE a_tab-wgbez60_test TO UPPER CASE.
      IF a_tab-wgbez60_test IN i_wgbez60 AND
         a_tab-wgbez_test   IN i_wgbez   AND
         a_tab-matkl        IN i_matkl.
        ADD 1 TO findex.
        MOVE a_tab-matkl   TO temp_tab-matkl.
        MOVE a_tab-WGBEZ   TO temp_tab-WGBEZ.
        MOVE a_tab-wgbez60 TO temp_tab-wgbez60.
        IF findex > callcontrol-maxrecords.
          MOVE 'X' TO callcontrol-maxexceed.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
        READ TABLE i_invalid INTO w_invalid
        WITH KEY matkl = a_tab-matkl.
        IF sy-subrc NE 0.
          APPEND temp_tab.
        ENDIF.
        CLEAR temp_tab.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
This is working fine when we press F4 in ME21N Transaction and give some description and then press enter the popup screen.
But my requirement is user will enter some description in ME21N material group field and press enter ( Not pressing the F4 here) at this moment this is not going through the search help exit and displaying all the entries including the Invalid materials.
Note: We can delete the Invalid material groups but the documents which are having the invalid material already will have an issue and need to be corrected all the documents. But our requirement is only to use the correct materials groups from now onwards.
I would appropriate if any one can helping this regard.
Thanks in advance.,
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
You can call your ZSEARCH_HELP from the PAI , on the event SY-UCOMM = Enter using the function module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST.
For example, your screen field is MARA-ZXXXX, screen 0100 and search help : ZSEARCH_HELP
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      tabname                   = 'MARA'
      fieldname                  = 'ZXXXX'
      searchhelp               = 'ZSEARCH_HELP '
      dynpnr                      = '0100'
      dynprofield                = 'MARA-ZXXXX'
TABLES
   return_tab                = lt_returntab.
This F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST will call your custom search help exit.

BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER - Material Group Mapping issue

Hi all,
Currently, we have to map Vendor Product Category to SAP Material Group using a customized table, as the shopping cart items are transferred via OCI (Open Catalog Interface) from External Catalog. I realize mapping can be done using BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER in SRM system.
Before any mapping logic is placed in the above BAdI, I notice Application Log (Tcode SLG1) returns me an error message after shopping cart items transferred via OCI:
000001 Unable to find appropriate Category Id 98218237
Hence, I have placed Product Category mapping logic in the above BAdI using CATALOG_CONTENT-MATGROUP (where Vendor Category ID 98218237 will be mapped to SAP Material Group 001803). However, once I attain Material Group 001803 from mapping z-table, I am not sure which internal table I need to update , should it be CATALOG_CONTENT, ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA, or ET_SC_ITEM_DATA?
I notice that ET_SC_ITEM_DATA having empty entry, while CATALOG_CONTENT and ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA contains the shopping cart items from External Catalog. I have tried to update ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA but I still get the error message from Appl. Log (SLG1).
000001 Unable to find appropriate Category Id 98218237
What is the different between ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA and ET_SC_ITEM_DATA, while EV_SC_STRUCTURES_USED = 'X', when I debug the BAdI? And which table I need to update after I attain the right SAP Material Group from Mapping z-table, while ET_SC_ITEM_DATA is empty?
Kindly advise.
Many thanks,
Patrick
P/S: I'm on SRM 5.0

HI,
I am not sure how could you solve your concern, I have been to similar situations..and here is my opinion.
The errors what you are getting for:
Error: Jurisdiction code could not be determined
Reason: You are using a Location or Ship-to-address in such a way that there are two Jurisdiction Codes in your backend system (are you using Third Party Tax engine such as Taxware?). In such case, Shopping Cart gets confused to select from two codes and throws out error message...or simply your backend system has not maintained any Tax Jurisdiction Code at all!!!
Error: Not possible to calculate tax
Reason: Because Shopping Cart could not get any correct Jurisdiction Code, it can not calculate tax!
How to solve above two errors? Solve the 1st one, second one is automatically solved!
You can implement BADI BBP_DET_TAXCODE_BADI to find atleast one and only one Jurisdiction Code for a line item of the Shopping Cart (or PO). (Tip: You can call an RFC to backend to call standard FM to get the Tax Jurisdiction Codes, if there are more than one, select the first one and return, or if there are none..use any default (which is okay to your customer) and give it to the structure.
Let me share my understanding on the three structures you found in the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BAdI.
CATALOG_CONTENT: Contains the OCI fields flowing from the catalog. They are the original items coming from Catalog.
ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA: Contains the Catalog_Content structure as sub-structure. This is used to modify the content as a broker.
ET_SC_ITEM_DATA: Contains the SC items that is created because of Catalog Transfer. If there is any application error such as mismatch of Unit of measurement, ISO Codes, Product Category etc. this structure will not be filled in completely..Only perfect items (without any mapping error) will get into this structure.
If you are finding that ET_SC_ITEM_DATA is empty, then check BBP_OCI object in SLG1 transaction, that will show you errors while catalog transfer and the same can be found during debugging of the BAdI.
I think this can give some idea on how to use them..
Thanks for reading...

Material group issue

Dear All,
The requirement is for a particular material type the system should purpose the material group that belong to that material type only not all the material groups that are defined in the system.
Example;
Material groupV-belt, bearings, etc are meant for spare parts material type (ERSA)
Material group- pizza, burger, etc are meant for Finished goods (FERT).
When the user is creating a material for material type FERT, the system should purpose only material group pizza, burgers, etc not V-belt, bearing.
And when the user is creating material for material type ERSA, the system should purpose V-Belt, bearing, etc material group not pizza, burger, etc material group.
How this can be controlled?
regards
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
Material gropes are not belongs to particular material type. Therefore, this can't be controlled through customization.
You can change material group from one to another at any point of time. This is relevant for logistics / purchase information system.
Hope this information will be useful.

ME21N Material group level authorization is not working in ECC 6.0

Dear Security Experts,
We have created a role Z_ME21N with one Tcode ME21N. The role has to restrict users in the material group level.
For that, we added Authorization object M_MATE_WGR.
1. When we are trying to add field values for {M_MATE_WGR, BEGRU}, generally it should show me the list possible values to be used based on the MM configuration related to Material Authorization Group. We have correctly configured the authorization groups from V_TBRG for M_MATE_WGR. But itu2019s not showing any possible values.
2. However we are able to add values manually, but I guess these are not being considered during authorization check and our restriction on Authorization group level in ME21N is not working.
Test Scenario: We have manually added values 005,007,009,010,013 (which is pointing to specific material group) to BEGRU of M_MATE_WGR. We already assigned this Authorization Object to role Z_ME21N and this role has been assigned to u2018testuseru2019, but the authorization check with the M_MATE_WGR authorization group is not happening. It allows operations on all the material groups.
Anybody came accross same scenario?
SAP Prodcut version : ECC 6.0
Database : SQL Server 2005
Support pack level : 15
Please share your views, thanks in advance.

Abu Sandeep

Dear All,
I got a reply just now from SAP regarding the same issue.
I coudnt understand what SAP and you are saying.
Dear Abu
*Apologies for the delay. This message has been turned on to application*
*area of MM from the Basis side just now.*
*Unfortunately, authorization object "M_MATE_WGR " is not checked*
*in the purchasing transactions (PR & PO), the system works as standard*
*functional designed.*
*Only the following objects are checked in PR/PO:*
*M_BEST_BSA Document Type in PO M_BANF_BSA Document Type in PR*
*M_BEST_EKG Purchasing Group in PO M_BANF_EKG Purchasing Group in PR*
*M_BEST_EKO Purchasing Org. in PO M_BANF_EKO Purchasing Org. in PR*
*M_BEST_WRK Plant in PO M_BANF_WRK Plant in PR*
*Setting in check/maintain on in SU24 only means that the profile*
*generator will propose the object when creating a user, however is*
*does not mean that M-MATE_WGR will be checked.*
*Please close this message by pressing the confirm button at your*
*earliest convenience.*
*Many thanks in advance for your understanding.*
So, how can I resolve this problem? John, are you sure that, you implemented this successfully?
SAP says, this cant be done.

Report On Receipt Of materials for a material Group

Dear All,
           I have a requirement. I want the value of goods receipt for a particular material group for a particular period. MB51 does not provide input for material group.
          I have seen other standard reports related to purchase , but all of them considers Purchase Order date as the date of selection. So these reports exclude Goods Receipt of materials which falls on a selection date but whose PO is out of that selection date. Problem with MB5B is that includes cancelled documents as receipt as well and adjusts it with same quantity in Issue column.
          Is there any standard report which will give me a perfect report or is it possible with query. Please let me know the table names ..
Regards
Abhijit

PO Qty in SKU configuration for specific Material Group in PO

Dear All,
I face issue when I do MIGO, which is that unit measure KG can not covert to stockunitstock unit measure PC.
After I checking, I found the following information in tab Qualities/Weights of PO:
PO Quantity                     2 PC     Order Unit <-> Ord. Price Unit        PC <->         KG
PO Qty in SKU               0.000        Order Unit <-> SKU             0      PC <-> 0
What I can configure is "Order Unit <-> Ord. Price Unit        PC <->         KG", but I can not conifgure "Order Unit <-> SKU" for PO to buy material group rather than sepcific material.
Could anybody can tell me how to configure "PO Qty in SKU               0.000        Order Unit <-> SKU             0      PC <-> 0" for PO to buy material group in ME21N?
I am looking forward to your kind suggestion, which is really appreciated!
Cheers!

Does anyone face the same issue before? could you give me any tips if you have such problem? thanks in advance!

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!
