I think it is not possible as material group is at client level.
alternatively you can have mrp controller same as material group and get the report.

Service purchase requisition/order with Material group optional

Is it possible to create a purchase requisition/order with item category D (services) without entering any material group?
We would like to enter only the G/L account but not the material group.

Hi,
It is not possible to create PR/PO without material / Service group & Item catagory D.
Better create service groups like material group which will help you for reports also.

Optional material group for services in purchase order

Hello to everyone,
does anybody know how can I put material group as optional instead of mandatory in purchase order for services?
Regards

Hi,
Can be done screen layout at document level in following path
SPRO->: MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase order -> Define screen layout at document level.
Click ME21N and then double/ click basic data/item and select check box of material group as optional entry and save.
Note: In t.code ML91, you can make Material Group as default for Service PO.

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.

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.

      1            A                                              3                                    F010                                             4
      2            B                                              3                                     F020
      3            C                                              4                                     F040
Any No. of Line Item Any No. of Material
                                   from One Group      Total 10                   From Any Material Group
(Comprising of 3-4 Different Material from 1 Group, they should be able to choose/provide Free Goods from other Material Group)
3) While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
How I can configure this scenario?
Please suggest, is it possible through KEY COMBINATION?

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

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.

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).

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.

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!

Multiple PO's per material group for same vendor in ME59 / ME59N

HI ,
We have following issue
We create PO's automatically from PR's using ME59 .
PR's are Stock Transport Requisitions for intercompany STO.
in ME59 , options active are Per Plant / Per Vendor Sub Range( Vendor sub range is active but no values maintained )
When we create a PO , then system does not consolidate all items in single PO even if Plant is same . It actually creates a different PO based on Material Group in a line item .
It groups all line items with similar material group in single PO .
What is the issue with material group .
is it not possible to have different line items with different material groups in a single PO in above scenario.
Pls. help.
Thanks ,
Prasad

Ajit ,
That is what I enquired , where do we do this assignment , i.e. Material group to PR document type
I do not know where to do this assignment .

Different material group for two CO companies with same material no.

Hi all
We are implementing another CO company in COPA. The issue is that both companies use the same materials number, but in COPA grouping categories (MATKL) must be different . I was thinking in using another category, but is there another option?

Hi,
By definition the materials should have the same material group (operationg concern - same market grouping).
However, if you have this as business requirement you need to first identify a field to store this. and then you an also use exit / derivation rule to replace the value with a condition on the company code. Advantage you have reduced the use of one more characteristic in CO-PA.
Hope this helps you.

Defaulting Tax Code in the PO line item by Material Group

Hi All,
How do I default the Tax code for the PO line item by material group in INDIRECT purchasing (without Material Number)
What is the config for this?
Thanks in advance.

Not possible with mateiral group except you devvelope custom solution or try the following
Do the config in thetcode
OMKL
OMKN
OMKO
than maintain that for your conditon in MEK1.
In this section, you maintain the tax code determination facility.
Within the framework of the price determination process, it is possible
to have the tax code determined automatically via the conditions.
For the purposes of automatic tax code determination, tax indicators
derived from the material master record, Customizing, or the purchasing
document are used. The system determines the tax code on the basis of the
combination of these tax indicators.
To assign a tax code to a combination of tax indicators, you must
maintain master conditions in Purchasing (menu options "Master data ->
Taxes").
There are tax indicators at the levels "plant", "account assignment
category" and "material".
In addition, there are two tax indicators that are derived from the
purchasing document:
o Country of origin and country of destination differ
o Region of origin and region of destination differ
The assignments "tax indicator -> plant" and "tax indicator -> account
assignment category" must be made in Customizing.
Automatic tax code determination can be useful, for example, if different
tax rates apply depending on whether a material is placed in stock or is
consumed immediately following its procurement.

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.
