Map UNSPSC code to Material Group for punch-out catalogues

Hi All,
can anyone share an experience with the best way of mapping UNSPSC codes to Material Groups for punch-out catalogues.
I've been looking at the Schema config under the Content Management section in the IMG (Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Master Data > Content Management > Mapping for Schemas) but can't really find any docuemtnation to describe exactly how this can be used.
I guess the alternative option is to create a custom table and use the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI but if this can be done as standard using config rather than ABAP developemnt that would be a preferable solution.
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
Best way is to activate the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI. this encompasses or can be customized accordingly to
1. To map UNSPSC with Product Categories/Material groups (however custom z table needs to be created which does the mapping)
2. Some supplier catalogs will send too much information, most of which is not necessary for SRM, here whatever is needed can be filtered out
This BADI overall enriches the data transferred from the supplier.
hope this helps!
Thanks,
Prashanth

UNSPSC code is not passed for RT catalog item then error !!

Hi SRM GURUs,
We have implemented BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI.
In which if a RT catalog item is not having UNSPSC code then we are passing some generic material group for that particular item.
Here the issue is, if a UNSPSC code is not passed for a RT catalog item, then system is throwing error message "No logical system for FI is maintained. inform system admin".
Also, a pop-up is coming on SRM screen "Error in system;shopping cart cannot be processed further" and then after clicking on "OK" of the POP-UP it is taking me on SRM home page.
will anybody explain why this is happening ? Kindly, explain this logic (As this logic is in standard SAP program)?
PS: we are at SRM5.0 & CCM2.0.
Thanks !!

Service entry sheet error.with new material group for services

Dear Experts
We need to create material group for roll shop spare parts service,we created a new material group.
when we are creating PR/PO with item category as D and a/c assignment K( entered cost center here).its giving error message
as RC= 3M8 47 Account determination for entry JSL KBS J001 not possible(while making service entry sheet)
after that i changed PR/PO and gave cost center and G/l account.now the service entry sheet is accepted.
is it necessary give G/L account manually,if user chose wrong G/L account how to avoid this problem.
please clarify me,
do we need to assign valuation class for material group for services?(where to assign)
or
should assign G/L account manually to cost center while creating PR/PO
Please clarify me

Varun

Hi,
Option-1:-- >
Without creating material group and you can use your other service material group(existing service material group) and create a service master in AC03 as spareservice. Create a Service PO with text as roll shop spare parts service with other details as required like quantity of service, cost center & G/L account etc. After service being completed you can do SES in t.code: ML81N
Option-2:-- >
If you want report at the end based on different material/service group level, you can create a material/service group in OMSF for roll shop spare parts service and then you can assign to valuation class to material group in OMQW t.code. Then carry out regular process service order, SES etc.
Based on requirement, you can enter G/L account manually or can set default G/L account in purchasing document with help of t.codes: OMSK, OMQW, OME9, OMGO & OBYC
For error u201CAccount determination for entry JSL KBS J001 not possibleu201D, you cannot assign KBS transaction/event key to an account in OBYC t.code. Only you can assign G/L account to cost center with your CompanyCode in OKB9 t.code. Check the SAP note: 364570 & 106981

IS IT POSSIBLE TO RESTRICT A PARTICULAR MATERIAL GROUP FOR A USER

I want to know whether it is possible to restrict a particular material group for a particular user.
e.g Material Group : 101

Our requirement is that the user should not be able to select material group 101 in
any stock related transactions. e.g MB5B, MB51, etc.

Change material group for an existing material

Hi all,
What is the steps to change a material group for an existing material?
Is there any impact on the reports if I were to change the material group of an existing material?
Thanks and regards,
JT

Yes, You can change in MM02 and also while changing you will get the folloeing Warning message..
You are changing material group, but material already used by purchasing
     Message no. M3531
Procedure
     When changing the material group of a material that is already being
     used by the purchasing department, you should note that:
     o   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.
     o   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.
     o   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.

Hi,
What is the criteria u are using to find out material groups?? If it is on the basis of material type DIEN (services) then go for T code MM60 put material type and u will get all the materials with material groups which has material type as DIEN.
Also u can directly go to SE16 and in T023 table find all the material groups.

Product heirarchy vs material groups for sales

Hi,
Can I make use of the material groups(5 in toatl in sales view1) to generate report for seeing the value/sale of any material instead of using product heirarchy ?
If I have created a 3 level heirarchy then how best I can use it to see in a report for any level.
Is there any standard report availble to track my sales/inventory needs based on product heirarchy ??
How can I track my purchases/open orders based on the employee resonsible for that material.i.e without having any HR module how can use the or create the staff of my company engaged in purchasing or for that matter selling also.
May be I can use Purchasing group for each employee.But then I need to use the same employee as Sales person.
How can this be achieved or any better option ??
Thanks in advance.

Manoj

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 .

Different material group for two CO companies with same material no.

Hi all
We are implementing another CO company in COPA. The issue is that both companies use the same materials number, but in COPA grouping categories (MATKL) must be different . I was thinking in using another category, but is there another option?

Hi,
By definition the materials should have the same material group (operationg concern - same market grouping).
However, if you have this as business requirement you need to first identify a field to store this. and then you an also use exit / derivation rule to replace the value with a condition on the company code. Advantage you have reduced the use of one more characteristic in CO-PA.
Hope this helps you.

GL account against Material group- For service procurement

Hi,
I have created a Service master, and assigned some material group. At entry aids settings in customization i have linked this material group with a Valuation class.
At OBYC settings I linked this valuation class for GBB VBR combination to GL accounts, with an impression that system picks GL account automatically when ever we create PO for this Service.
But this is not happening. Can any one please guide me how to achieve this?
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi Sattuj,
Follow the following steps
1. Create Service Master (maintain valuation Class and Material Group)
2.In OBYC, select WRX and enter chart of account and your GR/IR account in Debit and Credit tabs
3.Create PO: Enter cost object( according to ur requirement ex..Cost Center"K" or sales Order "C" or Project "P") and Item category "D" Service. Do not material here, just enter short text of service, material group and plant. Finally in item details enter activity number or service master you created in service master , quantity and gross price.
4.After entering above , again u will have a pop-up screen, you have to enter your G/L account here( created in as.....exm........Cost element for cost center or G/L for sales Order)
Hope the above solve ur problems.
With regards,

Material group for services

Hello to everyone,
does anybody know why it is necessary to fill up the material group field at item level when you create a purchase requisition for services with item category "D". Because when you create a purchase requisition for services, you include services items with their own services group, then I don't know why it is necessary to include the material group, too.
Kind Regards.

Dear Ignaciohsg,
Please kindly check if your customizing have set this field as optional or required.
SPRO:MM-PUR-PR-Define screen layout for PR.
The issue might be that the 'Material Group' is a required entry at item
level, as per your customizing .
Field selection key PT9F -> Basic data, item.

UNSPSC code in MDM ?

Hi,
We are in migration from CCM 2.0 SRM MDM.
In CCM , we are uploading the catalogs with UNSPSC and material group. Either any one is mandatory.
If they give UNSPSC code in catalog, while uploading we are mapping to correspoding material group.
But in SRM MDM , we dont have UNSPSC table it self. We will create that table in main structure of MDM catalog.
But how to map the UNSPSC code to material group?
Mapping is available in SRM table.
Please give me some ideas..
Regards
Venkatesh P

Hello Venkatesh P
UNSPSC is complex code.
First two (may be three- i'm not sure) digits is material group number.
You should only analyze that and create as-is to-be table for UNSPSC code->material group number relation
