Material Group Migration - Locking of transactions??

Hi gurus,
I am looking at mass change of material group in the material masters for reporting purposes. Are there any impacts to any transactions such as certain transactions cannot be processed as the material master is locked during the migration? I need this information to determine when would be the good time to do the mass maintenance. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes, the mass maintenance of material group will be locked the material from any transaction.
You may do it when there is no traffic or less traffic.
Cheers,
Girang

Making material group field in ME22n transaction as Input Enabled

Hi,
I have a requirement in my project, where I need to make the material group field as Input Enabled.
The reason for this being, that after a PO is created, the user might change the material group of the material(using MM02). The new material group must reflect in the already created PO's.
I have searched and gone through the previous threads, which say that it is impossible for new material group to be reflected in the already created PO.
But we can make it as input enabled field, instead of changing the material group, so that user can MANUALLY change it.
I searched and found out that material group cannot be made as Input Enabled field using SPRO settings.
Also there is no BADI or user exit where we can code for it an make it as input enabled.
But there is some internal enhancment point, in the SAP source code, where we can go and do the coding for it. I am sure about it because I have seen such a scenario earlier also.
Can someone help me in finding out the particulare enhancement point where we can code for our field to become Input Enabled?
Thanks in advance.

Not possible - if it is SAP standard field.

How can I change the material group in purchase order?

Hello,
I' ve changed the group of material and is not updated in the purchase order created. Is there any way you see the new material groupl in purchase order?
Thanks,

Sorry for the late answer.
Jeyakanthan A's suggestion may be good in case of few items.
You can also mass maintain purchase order material groups (EKPO-MATKL) in transaction MEMASSPO, though they are only in display mode in the purchase order transactions. If it doesn't work, you'll get a reason why.

Hello,
Can you pls try to use ENQUEUE_E_TABLE or FM specific to lock/unlock MARA table during Idoc creation.
and put some WAIT statement before creation.
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EMMARAS'
EXPORTING
MODE_MARA = 'S'
MANDT = SY-MANDT
MATNR = 'CS94163AOOO'
X_MATNR = ' '
_SCOPE = '2'

OTHERS = 3
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Then write code for creation of MARA
Unlcok now like this
CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_EMMARAS'
EXPORTING
MODE_MARA = 'S'
MANDT = SY-MANDT
MATNR = 'CS94163AOOO'

Add a new type of object links (transaction CV02N) - by material group .

Hi experts .
How can I create an additional screen for new tab by material group
       in DMS System ?
I have a requirement : 1. Add a new type of object links in transaction CV02N
                                      by material group(V023-MATKL) .
                                    Today we use 2 existing options : by Equipment and material .
                                  2. Save and display data .
We did the following steps :
1 . In customizing for Document Management :
               a. Maintained a key fields :
                      table : V023 , tran.code : OMSF , field name : MATKL .
               b. Maintained screen object link for V023 .
                     Our problem is screen number . we used at existing screen - 500 for user exit.
                     So we get a new tab with material instead of material group .
                     How I can create a new screen with field material group
                         for set this screen number in step b ?
                     May be I need the access key for FUNCTION GROUP CV130
                     and create this screen by myself ? .
               c. Defined Object links for special document type .
2 .   Created in se19 at implementation of DOCUMENT_OBJ
                      with defined filter : V023 .
                      Regards Helena .

Group Data locked for material

Hi,
I have an interface that failed because the "Group Data" of the material was locked.
I am aware of "Material being locked by another user". However I don't know how the group data gets locked or what group data refers to.
In most cases when I run the interface after some time, the material posts correctly. But I'd like to know what exactly locks group data and how I can check if it has been unlocked subsequently.
Thanks.
Urmila

Hi,
This message comes usually when you attempt to change the material using fm calls and material header MARA is locked (that is material itself is locked) by some other user .
What you can do is to call lock fm ENQUEUE_EMMARAE
before calling your material update logic and see whether the lock is successful. If the lock is successful then you can proceed with the update logic.

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?

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*

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

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

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

Mass Creation of Material Group Purchase info record

Dear All
Currently we are developing a custom transaction in SAP to mass upload Purchase Info records from a flat file (excel)
We are using the standard Function Module ME_POST_INFORECORD to create the PIR s
We use two different number ranges for Material and Material Group PIR s. This is set up already in SPRO>MM>PIR>Define Number Ranges
Purchasing info record for stock material (Group - IL ) have a number range X
Purchasing info record for material group (non-stock mat.)(Grpup -IN) have number range Y
So when we create a Material PIR manually in SAP it picks X number range and Y number range for Material Group PIR
But when we create Material Groups PIR via the new custom transaction it creates PIR s with Number range X.
Upon checking understood that the standard FM ME_POST_INFORECORD is always defaulting the Number Range Group as IL internally . Seems like a harcoding done by SAP
Wanted to know
- Is there any another FM we should consider while creating Material Group PIR s. Any other Function module provided by SAP for that ?
- Or what can be other way to resolve this ?
Please let me know your views on this.
Regards
Shyam

Hi,
For mass upload from flat files you can consider LSMW with different options e.g. IDoc:
Message Type INFREC
Basic Type INFRECMASS01
or simply via recording of transaction (this should be using exactly the same NR as you have when doing this manually).

Tomek

Material group hierarchy in SAP Retail

Hi Guru's;
I'm looking to load hierarchy of material group in BW.
In the SAP source system the used standard transaction WG21, WG22CLWM for managing retail material group hierarchy.
I suppose that from those transaction there is a BW hierarchy to recover this datas.
I found this datasource 0MATL_GROUP_LKLS_HIER but when i made a test in RSA3 i can't select any hierachy.
Why ? Is there something special for this hierarchy that i need to manage ?
Thanks for Help

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
Sathish PM

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

Exit/badi for Material group validation on service POs

Hi Gurus,
The requirement is to put validation on 'MATERIAL GROUP' at item level as well as service sub line item level.I have used EXIT_SAPMM06E_017 for line level validation.
For service sub line level 'MATERIAL GROUP' i tried using EXIT_SAPLMLSP_030 but validation is not working properly as
EXIT_SAPLMLSP_030 is triggered before EXIT_SAPMM06E_017.
Kindly suggest any alternatives.

New Access Sequence for Tax based on material Group

Hello All,
Our requirement is that we tax our employees on apparel only if the value is greater than $50.00.
To achieve this, we created a new tax condition table (953 which is copied from 053) and assigned it to access 09 in the access sequence ZTX1 (created w/ref from TAXJ). We added material group (MATKL) to the condition table and selected exclusion indicator for the access.
We created the condition record in FV11.
When we created the sales order, the new access sequence (09) is not being accessed. It gives a message "Access not made (initialized field)" Message 102(VE).
Please advise if we are missing something.
Thanks,
Leela

Hi Leela,
Are you creating sales order in the same system like
You have created table in Development system in same system your are creating sales order
If you are creating here you just go to V/07 transaction then slect your access sequence go in to the tables detail screen here you select your table 953 then click on fields here you check all the fields are available correctly or not then save the changes.
Now try
or
You transported these confugaration to other system like Quality or Production here and you are creating the sales order,
If you are creating here you need to create condition table again then try.
I hope it will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Restrict material groups at PR/PO creation for items w/o material master

Dear SAP experts
I have one question related to restricting material groups which are possible for selection during purchase requisition or purchase order creation.
The material group is created and several material master records are linked to it. Now the requirement is that when users are creating either purchase requisitions or purchase orders it shouldn't be possible to select that specific material group>
But this should be valid only if PR or PO are being created for items without material master record. If PR/PO is created for item with material master record then the restriction should not take place.
What would be the nicest solution to achieve that?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
Regards,
Miha

Hello Prakash
Thank you very much for your answer. i think it is a very good starting point.
However I am not too familiar with authorization group configuration of material groups.
Right now in our system (transaction OMSF) field authorization group is empty for all existing material groups.
Does this mean that for the material group that I want to have restricted I need to have two entries: one with Authorization group ZOK and another with ZNOTOK (or whatever the naming would be)?
Furthermore I would like to ask you where is then the link between authorization group and user exit?
And thirdly: do you perhaps have some more details which user exit(s) are relevant for our topic?
So far thank you very much and I hope that you can provide me also with additional info.
