Material Group in "Change PO" (ME22N)

Hi All,
Can i change a material group in ME22N transaction? If so, how?
I observed the configuration and it is not a mandatory field in SPRO. Can anybody suggest me how can i make it to modifiable status?

Material group is pulled from material master so once PO is created it is not changeble as per my knowledge.

System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Pr

Hi Experts,
Issue- System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Purchase requistion.
Process followed:
1. Create Service Pr with material group 5040 which is assigned to valuation class 3511 and 3511 is assigned to g/l account 51370000
2. Changed Service PR material group from 5040 to 5050. 5050 is assigned to valuation class 3512 and 3512 is assigned to G/L account 51260000
The issue is when we changed the material group from 5040 to 5050 system is not picking the g/l account which is assigned to 5050 i.e. 51260000
instead the g/l remains remains as before which is there for 5040 i.e. 51370000
Please let me know how can we resolve this problem and pick the correct g/l. Please find the attachments

Badri

Hello Badari,
if you are using the item category D "Services", explanation from note 663983 - ME22(N), ME52(N): No new G/L account from material group applies:
Please consider the following:
You can maintain the material group both at item level and at service line level. If you subsequently change the material group at item level, the material groups remain unchanged in the services. As a result, the G/L account is not redetermined at service line level.
In order for the G/L account to be redetermined, you must explicitly change the material group in the service line.
Kind Regards

MEMASSPO - change material group - message ME 664

I would like to change the material group (MATKL) in PO item. In ME22N it is impossible (MATKL only displayed). When I tried to use MEMASSPO I've got a message ME664.
I changed the material group in material master but PO was created earlier. I would like to have the data consistent. What can I do?

Material group chang even when request is rejected

Hi Experts,
I am designing a WF where to change the Material Group need approval of supervisor if rejected by supervisor workflow initiator will get a mail for rejection and material group will not be changed.
I designed and linked it to the event the WF is triggering properly but the problem is when supervisor reject the request the WF initiator get a mail but Material group is not set to itu2019s previous value it is getting changed.
Regards
Bikas

Hello Bikas,
The workflow is going to be triggered only when you save the changes that you have made to the material group. So to revert the changes when the superior rejects the proposal, You have to create a method in which the the material group is changed to the previous value. For that reason what I feel, get the previous value of the material group from the CDHDR and CDPOS tables and create a background process(a BDC) which updates the material group to the previous value. Use this method in a step in the workflow that you have designed.
Hope this will help you.

Classic Scenario change Material Group on PR

In a classic scenario can the material group be changed on PR created from approved SC.
We are unable to change it in our enviornment. Please confirm if it is standard SAP behaviour .
Thanks.

Hi Kumar,
You can definitely change the PR in ECC system if you are in Classic scenario.
Yes, even the material group can be changed in PR.
In classic scenario the Follow on documents of shopping cart either PR or P.O depending on the setting in the configuration can be changed in ECC system as they are the leading documents.
Check in case some exits or field controls have been put in place in your ECC system which would disable the ability to change some of the fields in PR.
Hope this makes you more clear.
Let us know in case of any further clarifications.

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

Hi klausj,

Report showing vendors for particular material groups

I am trying to perform an analysis to determine vendors which have procured items for specific material groups. I have 64 different material groups which represent indirect materials and I want to be able to determine what vendors have been procuring these materials. I have run transaction ME2C to examine purchasing documents, however there is way too much information and the system cannot generate the list.
I was curious if there was some aggregate report that I could use in the Logistics Information System. I know the Purchasing Information System has Standard Analysis for Material Groups, however I have to drill down to each Material Group and change the breakdown by Vendor to get the list and this can be somewhat time consuming considering I will have to do this 64 times.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

use transaction MC$<
execute the selection
in the report choose from menu settings > characteristics display
and select either Key or Key and description
then choose from menu Material group analysis > Export > transfer to XXL

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.

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.

Material group GUID - related to SRM-CCM

Hi,
This is related to CCM.
Can you please tell me, If the material group description is changed the Guid related to the same material group is changed or not?
If the GUID is changed with respect to change in material group. Then where can i get the relation of guid to material group
Thanks

Hi
Check table crmd_link
where we have GUID_HI and GUID_SET
here there is a relationshhip maintained for header and item level guid link .
GUId are created when we upload the material groups an material numbers if there is a change in description of the material number or material group the guiod does not get changed as it an unique id based on the material group number which is a primary key
Description in general are never a primary key .
either in back end system or in SRM system.

Re: The optional entry requrement of Material Group in ME22N TCode

Hello,
Can you please tell me how to make the Material Group field in ME22N an optional entry so that its value can be changed any time.It actually comes from material master.
Regards,
Smitha

Dear Smitha,
The answered given by Ashok was correct and i had put some more
information.
In the SAP Standard system it is not possible to change the material
group for a material during PO creation or PO change.
The material group is pulled in from the material master so the only way
to change is to update the material master and then create a new line
item. This is R/3 standard functionality.
You only have to fill in the material group when you have a "short text"
as description but not when you had a material that define in material master.

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.

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.

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!
Daya
