PO Release by Material Group
Hello,
My PO release is by material group. I have material group A and B assignment in CL20N to the PO release strategy.
Problem: If I create a PO with 2 lines, one with material group A and one with material group B - No PO release strategy will be triggered.
Is there anyway that I can change my PO release strategy so that it will trigger if both material group A and B are used in the same PO?
Thanks.
Hi
How do you plan to assign Two values or say if your PO tomorrow is going to have multiple Item lines and each having different material groups , how you are planning to control it? Do you think you can always restricthe PO to a sigle line or double line, I feel practically this becomes difficult to achieve. Moreover you can assignem a single value only in the assignment filed to a characteristics.
Think some other object which is common for both hte material groups and try to control it. You shouldnever use two char.s and leave one assignment in classification field empty then it will not work at all.
Regards

Release Strategies not works - When multiple material group in a single P.O
Hai,
This related to Release Strategies in SAP- IS -Retail.
The Material group was one of the character in the Rel Strgy.
1) If i create a P.O for the item which is related to " X" material group , Rel Strgy been set to P.O
2) If i create a P.O for the item which is related to " Y" material group , Rel Strgy been set to P.O
If I combine material group "X' & "y" in a same Purchase order , then RELEASE STRATGY NOT BEEN SET TO P.O .
How to make this as possible in SAP -IS-Retail - Version 6.0
Thanks,
PSHi,
Generally it is not advisable to use item level characteristics for overall release . Please refer the sap note 493900
Cost Center values (CEBAN-KOSTL) and Vendor values (CEBAN-LIFNR) in the release strategy characteristics should be entered with leading zeros.
This is true for the other structures as well (CEKKO and CESSR). See note 52225.
For OVERALL RELEASE (purchase order and purchase requisition) the item fields such as Plant and Material Group will be aggregated to header level.
For example you use Plant as one of your characteristics. If all items do not belong to the same plant then the relase strategy will not be found unless you have maintained a blank value as one of your allowed values for the characteristic Plant. If all items belong to the same plant then that plant is aggregated to the header; if one or more is different then a blank is aggregated to the header. See note 47089.
you have to maintain blank value in CT04 for material group and the same thing must be maintained for all strategies.
The release procedure for purchasing documents is carried out on header level. For this, the following values are aggregated from the items on header level:
item value
plant
material group
Example WERK:
The plant is only aggregated on header level if all items contain the same plant. If only one alternative plant exists, ' ' is aggregated on header level.
A release strategy is then searched for with this value.
Of course, a corresponding strategy is only found if the value ' ' was maintained for the characteristic 'Value' as an object value.
The same functionality applies to the plant -
PO release strategy based on Material Group (CEKKO - MAKTL)
Hi Experts,
I have configure the Rel strategy based CEKKO-MATKL (material group) for purchase order, but when i raise the PO Rel strategy is not affecting, Can any body tell me why.
Regards,
KumarYou can set Release strategy based on Material group & other Line item specific fields..
You better follow a suitable and hinder less process..
For PR use Material group & Account Assignment based Release process..
then for PO use a Release Process based on Header level fields like Doc type, Amount, pur Group etc..
So that the approved PR line can be converted into PR and then the PO also subjected to Release before sending it to External Vendor..
Even if you want you can make that the PO can not be created without referencing PR for SOme users or All users..
based on your business requirement.. -

PR release strategy with material group
Hi Experts,
Release strategy for Purchase requisition already configured with characteristics Document type and Total net order Value.
For fulfill new requirement we have created New character with Material group.Our requirement is for Two material groups separate release strategy has to be trigger and remaing other material groups old release strategy has to be trigger.For exple if X and Y are two material groups ,which require seperate release strategy.Other than X and Y material groups requir old release strategy.
all the material groups assigned to character.Blank material group also assigned to the character.In release strategy level in classification view we have assigned two material groups( X and Y ) for separate release strategy and remaining material groups and Blank material group to old release strategy.
At the time of creation of PR if i give two material groups ( X and Y)for different line items, seperate release strategy is not triggering, where as old release strategy is triggeringIf i create PR with single material group( X) for all line items it is triggering seperae release strategy properly.
For other material groups (other then X and Y )with different line items it is triggering old release strategy properly.
Kindly help me to resolve the problem.Hi,
Please add Blank material group to the new release strategy also.

Sanjay KumarHello,
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.

Info Records Per Material Group Standard Report Not Running at All.
Hi Experts,
We had a Small problem Where while Running Info Records Per Material Group(T-code ME1W ) Standard Report the Report is not Showing any output in PRD, where else running Info Records Per Material (T-Code ME1M ) Standard Report the Output is getting Displayed.
Our System is Currently SAP EEC 6.0 & Application Package SAP_APPL is of release 604 & Level 0007, Highest Support Package is SAPKH60407.
is this Issue covered in Some OSS Note?
Thanks & Regards
Priyesh ShahHi,
The info-records for the materials which appears in the standard report ME1M/ME1L is different from the one which appear in ME1W.
If you try with the material groups of the ME1L or ME1M info-records it wont be displayed in ME1W.
ME1W will display only the info-records which are created @ material group level.
i.e. try to create a new info-record using ME11 without entering material, in the general data screen you have to enter the material group & other parameters.
Now once you save this info-record,same will appear in ME1W.
Hope its clear.
Thanks & Regards, -
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 heqThank 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

Value Contract for a material group
It is possible to create a contract on value basis for a particular material group without material masters.
Thanks
SanjeevHi,
You can create contract value basis for a particular material group without material masters like for example creating contract for service where you can use item category D but you should use always account assignment category U ( contract without stock material ) & later in creating contract release order or call-off WRT contract, you can change account assignment category U to account assignment category K or as required.

Relase strategy characteristic with several material groups
Dear Experts,
Actually I'm implementing the MM Module, 6.00 version and I have the following issue:
I created the release strategy Purchase Order, with these characteristics:
- Material group
- Net total purchase order
- Plant
The error consists in the Material Group characteristic don't run with several Material Groups. It seems that it could be possible only with one Material Group.
If you know how I could work the characteristics with several material groups, pleas tell me.
Thanks in Advance,
Adriana Corredor
MM SAP ConsultantHello, Adriana,
it isn't clear what you mean by "characteristic don't run with several Material Groups":
- is it that you cannot enter multiple values in classification? Then check whether you chosed "Multiple Values" in "Value assignment" subscreen of characteristics maintenance, transaction CT04;
- is it that your release strategy isn't assigned to PREQ with several items with different MATKL values? It is neccessary to realize that if you use the coverall release of PREQ (which I guess you are using), the values of items has to be "summarized" (for purpose of release strategy assignment) into structure CEBAN "Communication Release Strategy Determination: Requisition"; the release strategy classification are then evaluated against this structure; if there is any field which differs for items, it is passed to structure CEBAN as empty; so either you have to have release strategy with MATKL empty, or you can modify the CEBAN content by enhancement M06B0001 "Changes to communication structure for release of requisitions", or you can prevent creation of PREQ with certain not-allowed combination of MATKL via user-exit or badi;
Kind Regards

Hi there,
We assign the material group to a material in the material master. As per my understanding we have material having similar attributes under the same material group....
Can you pls enlighten me the advantages of that from SAP point of view .... & the buisness tranasctions where it helps....
Points will we rewarded to helpful answers
With Regards
KaushikHello Kaushik,
Addition to experts suggestion, Material group is used for authorization, for account determination incase of text material purchasing and as a release characterisic as well.
so if you sum up
Material group is used
- To allocate the work within organizaiton
- To devide further down level of material type
- For release procedure
- For reporting purpose
- To use for creating purchasing document incase of without material master data
- To use in long term purchasing agreement
Hope this helps.

PR Release with Material Type Characteristics
Dear Experts,
Any of you used material type as PR release class craracteristics?
I have one query regarding this-
1. My business requires material type wise relesae strategy, means raw material and spares will have separate release strategy
2. We have included material type in Class cracteristics.
My query is if user creates a PR with out material code, that PR will not have any material type. But I want this to follow the release strategy. How to achieve this goal?
Anybody worked with this scenario?
Full points will be awarded for suitable solutions.
Regards,
SantoahHi,
Instead of material type, you can use material groups for release strategy. Even, if a user creates a requisition without material code, he will still have to enter a material group. This will serve ur purpose.
However, if there are many material groups and you prefer going with material type, then you will have to enhance the communication structure CEBAN, with Material type field, to be able to create a release characteristic for material type.
Hope this helps. Reward, if useful.

Impact on if you change in material group
Hi,
Change in Material groups in Material master - System will not update the PR,PO,Stock
Have to change all the documents to update the New Material groups.
Update Material master by LSMWhi
Impacts of changing material group
1) If ur release strategy is based on material group it needs to modify ( Material group as charactaristics)
2)If u r trying to extract any reports based on material group u will find discrepency bet reports as u r changing M.Group in betn.
3)The data in the Info systems and BW etc. are updated with the the "old" material group and so if you tried to compare them you would find differences.
changing M . Group will not cause any major prob. but only reporting problems

Hi Gurus,
I need to change the material group on certain materials. What implications do we have when we try to change the material group
Thanks
AnushaHello Anusha,
If the material is already used in purchasing, when you change the matkl field the information message M3531 :y u are changing material group, but material already used by purchasing occurs
if you double click on this message you can see the following explanations :
When changing the material group of a material that is already being used by the purchasing department, you should note that:
The purchasing statistics show how much of a material group has
already been ordered. Unitl the change is made, the material is
managed under the old material group and therefore the old material
group statistics are updated. From the moment the change is made,
the new material group's statistics are updated.
Some purchase orders may derive from contracts with item categories
referring to material groups. If this is the case, the material
cannot be used after the change has been made.
Every purchase requisition is allocated to a release strategy that
can depend on the material group. A new release strategy may apply
to a new material group. Purchase requisitions that were created
before the change are subject to the old strategy; purchase
requisitions that were created after the change are subject to the
new strategy.
Hope this can help

Mauro
