Hi
As far as my knowledge goes -
Valuation class is linked to Materials and is linked to GL accounts for various types of transactions in Materials like Upload, Receipt, Issue to production and so on.
Material type is the highest level of definition for Basic decisions on Material accounting.
In case you want to know the Material accounting - automatic account assignments for material transactions in FI, please see OBYC.
It is a very vast configuration, please print the help of this OBYC from MM customising and then see the settings.
Hope this is will of use to u.

  • Assignment of GL Accounts with Material Groups

    Hi Gurus,
    Please tell me how can we assign GL accounts with material groups and what are the different options in this assignment.
    Please revert asap.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    In IMG settings
    SPRO MMPurchasing --Material master --Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master
    Here with respect to your material group you will assign the Valuation classes.
    For this valuation classed in OBYC settings you need to assign the G/L accounts for the Transaction key "GBB" or etc which ever you want.

  • 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).

  • How to create material group in material master.

    hi guru's
    can anybody explain me how to create a new material group in material master.
    i wantto add a material group while creating material master MM01..
    thanks
    sap-mm

    Hi,
    In this step you create material groups.
    You also have the option of using the same transaction to carry out the following activities:
    Creating superior hierarchy levels
    Assigning the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
    Assigning the base material group to the material group hierarchy
    Assigning characteristics profiles below material group level
    Requirements
    Your R/3 System is configured as an SAP Retail System.
    Activities
    1. Create superior hierarchy levels
       You create hierarchy levels using transaction WG01 (creating
       material groups) via menu options MG environment --> Hierarchy
       level --> Create
    2. Assign the superior hierarchy levels to a material group hierarchy
       You assign hierarchy levels to a hierarchy using transaction WG01
       (creating material groups) via menu options MG environment -->
       Hierarchy level --> Maint. MG hierarchy
    3. Create material groups (base material groups) and then maintain the
       pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material)
    4. Assign the base material group to the material group hierarchy
       You assign the material group to the hierarchy using transaction
       WG01 (creating material groups)
    5. Assign characteristics profiles below material group level
       You assign characteristics profiles using transaction WG01
       (creating material groups)
    Further notes
    When creating material groups and then maintaining the pre-defined materials (reference material/material group material) you should be aware of the following.
    As these materials can be created automatically using a minimum of data, you should follow this procedure with a check and possibly further maintenance, especially of plant-specific data. The material group reference material should be defined in as much detail as possible so as to keep the workload to a minimum when you have to create more materials for this material group.
    All hierarchy allocations involving a material group (base material group) and a higher or lower hierarchy level can be carried out on the initial screen (there is no need to switch to the detail screen). All further hierarchy allocations can be defined top-down when you maintain material group hierarchies.
    Only the material groups are transported automatically!
    Reward if useful.

  • Source List for Material Group

    Hi All,
    How do I maintain a source list for a material group.? Since ME01 requires a material, I cannot create source list in this tranasction.
    The client want a the Source (for material Group) to be assigned automatically in PR assignment step.
    Again, within a material group there can be several infor records, For example:
    Mater Group: Office Supp.....I can have two infor rec for the same vendor....one with "Short Text" Notepad and another info rec with "Short Text": Paperclips. Or the second info record could be a different vendor also.
    How could the system know which one to assign as a source since it's the same material group (one for Notepads and the other for paperclips)??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi duke,
    In SAP we have a choice of creating source list for a "Material Group ". Following is the method.
    You may have the outline agreements related to material group rather than a single specific material - For ex. outline agreement with a item category M( Material unknown) or      W ( material group).In doing so you can decide whether to exclude or include certain materials of the relevant material group by means of the source list.
    To create the source list for a material group proceed as follows.
    1) On the outline agreement overview screen, select the items for which you wish to enter the source list record & choose Item --> Maintain source list
    2) To exclude the particular material keep the "Exclusion" indicator set against a material with a validity period.
    I hope this will be useful to you.

  • ME51N Change G/L Account default for Material group.

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to create Purchase requisitions(ME51N) for Account assignment catergory K-Cost centre.
    When i am entering the material group its populate G/L account as default in account assignment TAB.
    how to change this default. What is the T code.
    Thanks... Gopinath

    Hi,
    You may change the default account SPRO :
    Materials management -> Purchasing -> Material Master -> Entry aids for items without a Material Master.
    For respective material group you can  assign the correct valuation class.
    For account posting you can change in OBYC under transaction key GBB.
    Hope it helps you.

  • Problem with material group in task list

    Hi Experts,
    We have created a task list with external operation assigned with specific material group, say 'x'. This task list  is assigned to maintenance strategy which in turn assigned to maintenance plan. This Scheduled maintenance plan has generated many maintenance orders. After that we deleted the material group which was assigned to task list and assigned new material group to the task list. But now system is not generating maintenance orders from this task list as it is giving error message that "the old material group does not exist"  Message no. SE419
    Even though we changed the material group in that task list system still considering old material group.
    Could you please help us to get ride of this problem?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Praveen

    Praveen,
    The change that you had made on the task list is effective from the" Key date"date that's entered on the initial screen.That Is probably why this is causing an issue at your end.
    Try changing the task list once again by back dating the "KEY DATE" on the initial screen of the transaction ,to a date before the "Plan date" of the MP. This should solve your problem.If you are not able to change this, then create a new task list with a back dated "key date" with all the other details remaining the same and and assign it to the plan.

  • G/L for Material Group

  • Importance and uses of material group

    Hi All,
    I need to know the importance of Material Group and where all it is used in Procurement.
    Regards ,
    Ritesh.

    hi,
    Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
    You can use material groups to:
    Restrict the scope of analyses
    Search specifically for material master records via search helps
    Maintain External Material Groups
    In this step you can assign a material to an external material group, or to a material group that was created using externally-defined (non-SAP) structures.
    u will get the settings under menu path:
    SPRO > IMG > LOGISTIC GENERAL > MATERIAL MASTER > SETTINGS FOR KEY FIELDS > DEFINE MATERIAL GROUPS.
    for service PO we have to assign the valuation class to material group under the menu path:
    SPRO > IMG > MATERIAL MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > MATERIAL MASTER > ENTRY AIDS FOR ITEMS WITHOUT A MATERIAL MASTER.
    can assign a purchasing value key and a valuation class to a material group.
    The assignment of a purchasing value key provides you with default values for reminder levels etc. in purchase order items without a material master record and without an info record.
    The assignment of a valuation class to a material group enables the system to determine different accounts for the individual material groups.

  • 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.)

  • 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 .

  • Assignment of Vendor and Material group

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to assign vendors/material groups to standard industry classifications.
    We need to have vendors attached to these new industry groups and further to attach specific material groups and G/L's to these vendors- in that once a material group is selected (in SRM ordering), only the assigned vendors / GL groups will be allowed for selection.
    Please let me know if this is possible in SRM 5.0 (by standard or Non standard).
    regards

    I believe there is a place in maintain supplier data
    one field called product category check it up. i believe vendor data tab.
    since for eg in ros , you registered vendor  in srm via whta product category you can suplly to the organisation.
    but no one is using extensively. some customers are using this field for spend analysis report for each vendor what is the spend on thi s particular product category.
    which suppliesrs can provide product category
    product category are customer specific. fr eg go to dun and brad sheet web page . here you may get a list which supplier can provide what PRODUCT CATEGORY

  • Linking material Group and the Account Assignment...

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement from the client in which they want to restrict the entry of the Account assignment when a particular material group is enetered in the PO.
    The requirement is actually either to have F (order) populated in the account assignment field in PO (display only if possible) when a material group in enetered in the PO.
    Can anyone advise me of some configration settings for this please?? I know we could be able to do it as a customised setting for the customer and making changes to the PO program but my concern is will it affect the system and infact the PO program itself.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Anoop

    material group cannot be assigned as default to an account assignment category. The only link that can be formed is between item categories and A/c assignment categories. As some one has already pointed out, determination of G/L account for posting for a specific material group is possible.
