Origin Groups in Material master

What exaclty are origin grps and what are their roles from a controlling perspective.
please le tme know

Hi,
Normally the cost element / s are mapped to cost components using Tcode OKTZ.
This means that a cost element normally refers to only one cost component, if origin group is kept blank.
However, we can use origin group as master data, and based on the origin group assigned in the material , we can assign it to different cost component, even for same cost element. Refer origin group column in Tcode OKTZ.
Assign points if 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

    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.

  • Multiple Country of Origin at a Material Master level- Foreign Trade import

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a requirement to store Multiple Country of origin at a Material Master level . One Part/Material is sourced from different vendors and they are manufactured in different countries . Please note that we are not using Batch Management . Is there any workaround to have this scenario without using standard Batch Management .
    Thanks,

    hi,
    you can use split valuation for this by using the valuation category field in material master in accounting 1 view.
    in this you have to maintain valuation category as "H" = ORIGIN.
    For split valution procedure you have to reffer the  follow this link.

  • Account assignment group in material master

    Dear Gurus,
    In material master basic view there is account assignment grp field. Earlier this field has the value for 03 semi finished goods and with this setting values the user where posting invoice. But the user wants to change this field value from 03 semi finished goods to 01 trading goods for some specific reason.
    The moment you change this value from 03 to 01, system is giving an error msg as incorrect account assignment group in material master.

  • Material group in material master for different plants

    Warm greetings Masters of Material Management
    We have one material master for three different plants example  1000, 2000 &3000 with same material group  with different valuation class
    If we change material group in plant 2000 it is reflected in 1000 & in 3000
    My question is  this the standard practice that material group changed in one plant will be reflected in other plants
    Regards
    shamul heq

    Thank u Amola  
    The current situation, if user change  material group for plant 2000, it is effected in plant 1000 & in 3000
    the impact of this is in purchase requisition
    As the release statergy  is triggered from material group    to different department
    How can we solve this issue

  • Multiple group - single material master data

    Dear friends ,
    I am doing material master data as follows.
    Ex. Water Bottle - Material Group -  may be (Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley).
    means when i will make material master it will become 4 material master with 4 group as bellow.
    1) Water bottel-Aqua
    2 )water bottle-Bislary
    3 )Water bottle-Saiganga
    4) Water bottle-Balley.
    By my requirement is that it should be only one material master code , with facility of 4 material group.
    Whatever i need i will select at the time of PO.
    Regards,
    Mahesh.

    Hi,
    You just go for single material code creation as WATERBOTTLE and then as you needed, you can go for Split Valuation where same material WATERBOTTLE at a plant can have different stock quantity and value for different groupings {(Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley)}
    http://www.sap123.com/a/29/#split-valuation
    OR
    Go for Batch Management where you are just subdividing the material WATERBOTTLE according to the characteristics{(Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley)}

  • Country of origin Settings in Material Master?

    Hi Guys:
    we are procuring Materials from both domestic and international , how can the end user find out the country of origin for that Material?
    1) If your are procuring (M1) from both US and India ?
    or
    2) M2 directly from China ?
    3) M3 Directly from US?
    Thanks
    Sweth.

    Hi,
    If the material is valuated seperately for seperate origin and you want to trace it for full lifecycle of supply chain
    Then SAP Recommends to use Split Valuation, by activating split valuation for that material you can trace different material origins
    as valuation types, please explore further on split valuation

    Hi,
    What do you mean by 1 - 5 in this case. You can use transaction MM60 to get materials, material group wise.
    Please check if this transaction suffices your requirement.

  • Material group in Material master

    Dear All Warm greetings
    How to configure display of materials through material group? For end users
    Example when my user wants to view any material, system should only show the materials which he should as per material group
    Example while create Purchase requisition/Purchase order & display of material from MM04
    I tried by using parameter id in user profile, own data
    WGR & WM1 but doesnu2019t work
    Pleas advice me how can i process, Help he out with some solutions.
    Regards

    Edited by: shamulheq on Dec 22, 2009 7:52 AM

    Shamulheq
    I am a little unclear of your requirements.
    SET/GET parameters (from 'user profile own data') generally only work when the field is displayed on a selection screen for a program.  The parameter will then automatically populate the field on the selection screen. 
    As it happens, the two parms WGR and WM1 you mentioned are not used by any programs that I can see.
    MM04 does not contain material group, assigning a set/get parm to your userid wouldn't change much anyway.
    If you are talking about making it easier for your users to select a material, based on materials assigned to a material group, then you could try the F4 help on Material 'L - Material by Material group'  Here, you could enter the MatGrp and then have  displayed a list of the materials that are assigned to that group.  From this list the user could select the appropriate material.
    If you are talking about pre-populating the Material Group field in ME51 (probably other screens as well), try using parameter MKL in your user parameters.  You should log off/log on after changing a SET/GET parameter to see the effect.
    If you are talking about PREVENTING a user from displaying materials outside of a particular MatGrp, then you should consult with your authorization team to see if they can provide a solution.

  • " Item Category Group" in the material master?

    Hi,
    I'm going to use inbound delivery for purchase order, so I'm going to do it as follows:
    1) Create a new "item category group Y001"
    2) Create a new "item category Y001  (copy from ELN then change the movement type to 101, and set it relevant to putaway)",
    3) Replace the item category group in the material master with Y001
    4) Determine the item category via transaction 0184 as the following ways:
         "Delivery Type"  EL    + 
         "Item Category Group From Material Master" Y001    +
         "Item Usage"  V     +
         'Item Category Of The Higher-Level  Item"  
         ==>  "Determine New Delivery Item Category" Y001
    My question is, If I change the item category group in the material master, is there any effect to SD part?

  • How to transport number range group Configuration in Material Master

    Hi,
    I have this query regarding how to transport number range group in material master from one server to another.
    Problem: There was no number range assignment done for a particular material type. So, i assigned the particular mat. type to a group which had some number range intervals with the help of T-Code MMNR.
    But when i want to transport this config. to other sever, it is only transporting the interval but not the assignment done to that group. In the menu bar only Interval transport option is there.
    Can anybody help me with this I hope the query is clear.

    Hi,
    Item category group from material master
    A grouping of materials that the system uses to determine item categories during the processing of sales documents.
    Procedure
    Depending on the item category group that you apply and the sales document type you are processing, the system automatically proposes an item category in the document.
    Example
    In the standard system, for example, there are standard items, items that represent services (and do not require delivery processing), and items that represent packaging materials.
    General item category group
    Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing.
    If a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is distribution channel-dependent.
    Procedure
    The system automatically suggests an item type in the document depending on the item category group you assign and the sales document type you are processing.
    Example
    In the standard system, there are normal items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing material, for example.
