*** Material group connection to Vertex

Hi Experts,
We have a client requirement : "Ability to tie the Material Group field (MATKL) to Vertex product codes so that appropriate tax can be calculated for items purchases"
Will this be a development or can we achieve this in a standard way from pricing procedure..
Please advise
Mavrik

We tie in material grouping to taxibility in Vertex O series via mapping in Vertex central.
We do have a user exit for this functionality.

Regarding Condition record in CRM using field MATKL (Material Group)

Hi All
Currently we are working in SAP CRM 5.2 and it has been connected with backend ECC 6.0.
This scenario is about Pricing which has been maintained in ECC and inturn flows to CRM with few filters in place.
There are few customized Condition Tables in ECC with combination of Sales org./ material group for which discount has been maintained. A proper condition record is also available for this Condition table and it has been assigned to a access sequence and inturn assigned to a condition type.
All these procedures, condition types, access sequence has flown from ECC to CRM. And all the condition tables are active in IMG (Basic Functions / Pricing / Define Settings for Pricing / Create Condition Tables)
When i check in
(SAP menu / Master Data / Prices and Conditions / SAPCND/GCM - Maintain Conditions )
Application - CRM,
Maintenance group - PRODDISCOU,
Maintenance context - GCM
Here for the above mentioned combination when i select the Key Combination (Condition Table) and enter the customized table number (Sales org. / Material Group) iam getting a dump which says the following.

Create New Material Group included in Fiscal Year Range

Hi,
I have Report Maerial Group, Material & for each one having Fiscal Year
I want to create new Material Group XXX and be included in the range of fiscal year K1 & K2
How do I connect these two fiscal year to the new Material Group
Thx

Hi
I hope there is no assignment of GL account to material group. If you want that, you can assign Valuation class to material group in OMQW transaction.
Because of the valuation class, the system can find the assigned G/L account number in OBYC. In this case Transaction Key GBB and General modification VBR.
is it fine for you?

Hi,
if you want to give free goods from other group it can be possible only for EXCLUSIVE free good type
In exclusive free goods, a material different from the orignal material can be specified as the free goods.
Example: A customer who buys 200 crates of beer, gets 5 boxes of glasses free.
In VBN1 >> Exclusive
See column ADD FREE MATERIAL
While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
Maintain alternative units in material master >> Additional data >> Material master,BUT it is only main item
Those item u want to give free that items unit is derived from free goods condition record and it CANNOT be change in order

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,
Mauro

Can any body tell me how to fill this BAPI.......
Even i am trying to debug standard tocde of PO but it is not calling bapi BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
Could you please help me on this.

Hello,
To assign material group to G/l account you have to matain valuation class for Material group
SPRO >> Materials Managment >> Purchasing >> Material Master >> Entry aids for items with out material master.
Assign this valaution class to G/l in OBYC.

Authorizations for materials and material groups

Hello experts,
Is it possible to limit the authorization to make purchase requerisiton of some materials or material groups depending on the user?
I heard that it is possible be able to update some materials using the authorization M_MATE_MAT and including them in the material master, material group and user. But this also works for the creation of purchasing documents (PR,PO,RFQ,...)? Do I have to include this authorization for all the materials? If they do not have I understand that works for every people.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,

Hi Madii,
actually Authorization works at the object level, i.s if you have provided the authorization for the user to makePR with certain Material Grp, then if you dont define that grp in the PO role, but still user will get the authorization from the PR role.
why you want to allow the user to make the PR of certain Mtrl Grp for which he should not be making the PO.
or let a different Body take care of the other mtrl Grp.
Hope it helps.

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 Change

9i,
I would like to Change Material Group in Material Masterdata through MM02.
But I have one doubt.Before Changing Material group I am tacking MC.9 Report for Stock statement.For Ecample in old Material group(xxxx) Some Stock is there 100.Like these Group XXXX qty 100.
Then I am change New Material group YYYY in XXXX Plance.Now i am tacking MC.9 Report For Stock Statement.Now i want new Material group wise Stock only like these group YYYY qty 100.
These is the My client Requirement.what cani do for these

mc.9 is standard infostructure and it has got its own update rules to update the infostrcture. It wont be possible to have a retrospective update of the infostructure internal tables, and so if you are trying to analyse it for past periods, results may be wrong.

Restriction on division, material group and material.

Hi friends,
current model,
infocube details as below,
0division, 0matl_group, 0material, currency, Base_unit, amount, quantity
Bex PLAN Query as below,
variables on 0division, 0matl_group
rows - 0material
columns - amount and keyfigure
now when the user selects a perticular division from the variable then he should be able to select only those material groups which are allowed under that selected division and similarly material, only those materials allowed selected division and selected matl_group.
I am talking about selecting from the variable (F4).
currently all material groups and all materials are allowed to select after selecting a division..
thanks in advance.

thanks, i solved it

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.

Hi,
Have you considered using the partner functions to do this.
Most organisations create a new partner type for saleperson (i.e. someone who earns the commision from the sale). This can automatically default if you have the correct master data settings, or can be keyed manually on the partner screen of the sales order. (ask about how to do this on the SD forum, I am sure that an SD expert can tell you the details on how to do this.
I definitely would NOT recommend considering using the Purchasing group, this is not a field to use for this purpose in any way.
The material group and material hierarchy are fine to use for reports on WHAT was sold, but not who by etc.

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?

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.
