Material Group Case Insensitive

Hi specialists,
Is there an easy way to search for material groups in ME21N in a way that the description is not case sensitive (by default, it is case sensitive)?
Thanks!

hi,
Normally there are not many or bulk material group. so either you can find by yourself...
But if you want this urgently, then go with the ABAP consultant, so that the consultant can use his few technical functionalities...or can provide the other button/tab to search in the other easy way...

Grouping listview case-insensitive

Hi All.
I grouping ListView by that way
Dim DeptListSource = CType(Me.Resources("cvEmpDeptList"), CollectionViewSource)
Dim groupDescription As PropertyGroupDescription = New PropertyGroupDescription("Department")
DeptListSource.GroupDescriptions.Add(groupDescription)
It is grouping but it considers "Accounting" and "accounting" to be different groups. Is there a way to grouping it should go for case in-sensitive way? If is possible, how to modify grouping code?
Thanks.

Hi zleug,
>>Is there a way to grouping it should go for case in-sensitive way? If is possible, how to modify grouping code?
There are some third-party ListView controls which support custom grouping, but for native WPF ListView, in my experience, you need to set
PropertyGroupDescription.StringComparison property, please check StringComparison enum:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.stringcomparison(v=vs.110).aspx
OrdinalIgnoreCase: Compare strings using ordinal sort rules and ignoring the case of the strings being compared.

Material group is not updated in EINA

Hi Experts,
We are having a situation for EINA table. Whenever a PIR is created with reference to material, its material group is copied from table MARA to PIR, but it is not being updated in EINA table. Where as if PIR is created with refernce to material group (wthout specifying material number), that time material group is visible in EINA table. We are having ECC 5 system.
Any pointers on this is very much appreciable.
Thanks,
Milind

Hello Milind,
Info records are kept in table EINA, either by material or material group. That is, either EINA-MATNR or EINA-MATKL is filled.
Never both!! Due to the fact that the field EINA-MATKL must be blank material info records with NO material master a search on this field   would require a lookup on the material master for each EINA record to find the corresponding material group.
"The field Eina-matkl is not to be updated because it could be changed in material master. Therefore the solution is to initialize the field in case of inforecord with material master. This solution I described is in note 93886. You will see the material group when you display the inforecord but it is not stored in EINA.
see note 444058 and 93886 ...
Thanx & Regards,

Stock report for single material contains different material groups

Hi Experts,
              I have a scenario.I want to maintain material group for a material at the time of po creation.In next time i will maintain different material group for the same material.
               But I want to view the the stocks for material group wise which i entered in po.Is it possible to achieve this?
              Please suggest solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepika.

Please read the KBA document 2012912 - Changeablility of the field "material group" in purchasing documents
It clearly says that material group can't be changed in case you will use material master in purchase order.
So, it is clear that you can't use different material group for material master in purchase order.
For stock report, system will only show you the material group which is assigned to the material master (MARA-MATKL). System will not look into the purchase order section (like EKPO).

Material Group in the Info Record and PO

We have the scenario of an info record that is "standard" and "sub-contracting". When you display the info record for either category using ME13, it has the value for material group in the general data screen. Technical Assistance tells me this value is found in EINA-MATKL. However, when I do an extract for the info record from EINA, the field is blank.
My two info records (standard and sub-contracting) in EINE were created differently. The standard one was created using ME11 and a plant was entered. Because a plant was entered, the material group value was not required. The sub-contracting info record was automatically created when the PO was created (InfoUpdate button is on). In the PO, the material group was also entered; however, a plant was not added to the info record because we do not have EVO set up to include the plant when the info record is automatically created. (This is something I can change).
This is very confusing when we are looking at these info records and it appears data should be there but it is not. This most noticeably happens with the ones that are getting created automatically and then a different category is created using ME11. Are we are missing some addl requirements in configuration when these records are being created automatically????
Can someone please explain???? I need to come up with a solution to this problem.

If you want to enter diff ordre unit than in the PIR
In this case in the material master purchasing screen you have to activate the var order unit
enter 2 here
now go to your info record and on general data screen you will see the field var ordre unit
here enter 2
than click on conditon from menu
system will popup the order unit screen
here keep cursor on box and click choose
now it will allow you to maintain the box price also
once you do this than it will automatically defult in the Po upon selection.

How to change Database server is case-insensitive setting at runtime

Is there a way to change any of the properties in Report Options > General Settings at runtime. Mainly the [Database server is case-insensitive] and [Perform grouping on server] settings. We are using the Crystal .Net X1 runtimes (11.5.9707.811). I have sesrched the forums with no luck so thought I'd try my luck here. Thankyou for your time.

Hi Simon,
Sorry, search for the function using the Object Browser in .NET. If you have Crsytal Reports XI R2 (11.5.x.xxxx) then you have it. Unless it's not a developer version. In whcih case you need to upgrade.
If you do have the Developer version then simply add the RAS assemblies to your project. Look in our samples above for more info on h ow to use RAS.
If you don't have the Developer version then your only options are to upgrade or manually change the report settings in the Designer.
Thank you

Goods-receipt-based invoice verification default for material group

Hello experts,
I put by default the option Goods-receipt-based invoice verification when creating a purchase order by tcode ME21N. Now, I would like if possible to only insert the option Goods-receipt-based invoice verification by default for some material group. Is this possible? This behaviour needs to be automatic.
How can I achieve this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
JP
Edited by: Jeyakanthan A on Nov 20, 2011 11:11 PM

Dear JP,
In standard system this is not possible to default this indicator based on Material Group. This can be defaulted from Vendor Master record or Purchasing Info Record or Ticked Manually PO Item Details.
If you look to enhance you system to do this, I would not advisable you to go with this default option because there can be situation that you order some material without Material Master Record (Like a frame work Order) in that case you will not be able to do GR and there can be conflict.
You can create Material Group Info. record and default it from there, but again this for scenario where Material Master Record does not exists(Non Stock).
Hope you find this useful.

Specifying Case-Insensitive Element Names in XML Schema

Hope someone knows this!
Is it possible to define an an XML Schema Definition so that Element names in the target XML File can be case insensitive.
At the moment my Parser throws an error if the element names in the XML file do not have the exact same case as the definition in the XML schema.
E.g
In Schema i have:
<xsd:element name="HOSTINVENTORYLINE" type="HostInventoryLineType" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"/>
but in xml file i have
<HostInventoryLine field=""/>
or
<hostinventoryline field=""/>
Does anyone know anyway to get around this, so that the parser accepts the HostInventoryLine element in the xml as an instance of the HOSTINVENTORYLINE element defined in the schema.
Thanks in Advance
JJ

You could use substitution groups to handle this. You would need an entry in the schema for each valid capitalization. This won't scale well if you want to be completely case insensitive, but if you only support lower case, upper case, and camel case it should do the trick.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
     <xs:complexType name="HostInventoryLineType">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="an-element" type="xs:string"/>
          </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:element name="HostInventoryLine" type="HostInventoryLineType"/>
     <xs:element name="HOSTINVENTORYLINE" type="HostInventoryLineType" substitutionGroup="HostInventoryLine"/>
     <xs:element name="hostinventoryline" type="HostInventoryLineType" substitutionGroup="HostInventoryLine"/>

Link b/w item category and material group

Hi All,
Is there any link between item category and material group.
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
Item Category
Item Category is a control field that allows the PR to follow the correct path for the correct path for that category of PR. The SAP system is delivered with a set of item categories
Blank -Standard
K- Consignment
L- Sub Contracting
S- Third Party
D- Service
U- Stock Transfer
Selecting an item category allow the display of certain fields and not others
For Ex: If PR item has an item category K for conignment then invoice receipts will not be allowed
Material Group
Material group is a method of grouping of similar materials.It is defined either by using classification or by configuration. It is important not only for seracing the materials but also in other areas of purchasing
A purchace inforecord can be created with out a material number but must require materail group and vendor
Material group is configured through Tcode WG21
And i do not find any link between them
I hope this gave you the clarity
In case of any more information required do get back
If found helpful reward accordingly
Thanks & Regards

PO by material group.

Hi,
when I create a PO to buy by material group, system creates always a new inforecord also when I
use the same material group.
How can I solve this problem so that system will update the same inforecord ?
Note that I use the same vendor and the same material group for each order
Regards

HI
Info record function in this way for PO.
When creating or changing purchase orders, you can use the InfoUpdate field to specify that the info record is to be created or updated.
Info record already exists for a Purchase order or does not exist for a purchase order, it is set as last document; order price history is updated.
In purchase order the InfoUpdate indicator has only two possible values. whether an info record is updated or newly created.
If the indicator is selected, the following cases are possible:
If just one info record (with or without a plant) exists, the record is updated.
If no info record exists and "Plant condition requirement" has been specified in Customizing, an info record with a plant is created. Otherwise an info record without a plant is created.
If two info records exist, one record with a plant and one without a plant, the info record with the plant is updated.
It will help to some extent, if u hv a doubt still refer SAP help.
Thanks

How can i message out the unexisted material group name.

Selection screen: material group
s_maktl is a range, "AA_1" to "ZZ_9".
I check the existence of material group in table T023. select *
into table i_t023
where maktl in s_maktl.
Example, 'UU_3" is not in table.
But how can i tell "UU_3" is not existed???
i want to message out the unexisted material group name.
Can anyone help?

Hi Amanda
In this case you have to know all the combinations of all the materials groups. Taking your example, considering that only letters and numbers vary, we will have tons of possibilities, which is practically not feasible.
Other option would be to check whether the user entered values in LOW and HIGH of select option field, In you example say if AA_1 is not present in T023, i can validate that record.
But at the same time the values which are not entered and are implicitly calculated based on the string patterns, are practically not possible to validate.

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...

Where to assign the G/L Account to Material Group in SPRO

Hi,
Can someone tell the node in SPRO, where G/L Account is assigned to the Material Group in case of PO being created withourt Material Master?
Regards.

Hi,
You can not link G/L Account to the Material Group directly.
Use T.code:OMQW and assign Materil Group with Valuation Class and then use account determination process,where you can assign G/L to Valuation Class .

Hi,
What do you mean by 1 - 5 in this case. You can use transaction MM60 to get materials, material group wise.
Please check if this transaction suffices your requirement.
