"-" Problem in the "Material Group"

Hi,
We're going to replicate  "material group" from ECC to EBP, the material groups in ECC are maintained by the format of "XXXX-XXXX", that means, there's a char "-" existed in the material groups,  the problem is, "-" was not allowed in "product category" of EBP, is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks and best regards
jack

  • Make field in Material master mandatory based on the material group

    Hello all,
    I need to make the field "post to inspection flag" mandatory based on the material group while creating the Material master.
    I found options for making the field mandatory based on Material type,Industry sector and plant NOT based on the material group.
    Could anyone please provide suggestions on setting up the field as mandatory based on material group while creating material master
    Thanks,
    Sre

    Hi Sre,
    You can make Material Group field as Mandatory while Creating Material Master.
    SPRO>Log General>Material Master>Field Selection>Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
    Select Screen # 48
    In the Field selection (Field Ref.) of (MARA - MAKTL) screen , Change the settings from Optional to Required Entry for T Codes MM01, MM02 or you can select the Material Type ;
    Please note this  by choosing this selection the fields of Profit Center and  Division will also become Mandatory.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards

  • Changing the material Group in PO -- the GL assignment doesn't change

    Good morning,
    we have a material group linked to a valuation class.
    When we create a service purchase order, we use this material group and the G/L account is automatically updated, but if we change the material group, the G/L account doesn' change.
    SAP PARAMETERS
    - Material Group 1 is linked to valuation class XXXX
    - Material Group 2 is linked to valuation class YYYY
    - In SPRO the field G/L account is set on Display (screen layout).
    Our user can change the material gruop, but the G/L account doesn't change too and this mistake could generate a wrong accounting document.
    We want that the G/L account change automatically when the material group is changed and, if we cannot, we'd like to block the change of the material group (but not in Screen layout, because we are buying service without material master and we need to inser the material gorup).
    Thanks for any ideas.
    regards

    Hi klausj,
    Did you find a solution to this?

  • Changing the material group

    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
    Anusha

    Hello 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

  • 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.

  • Material Group in the Info Record and PO

    We have the scenario of an info record that is "standard" and "sub-contracting".  When you display the info record for either category using ME13, it has the value for material group in the general data screen.  Technical Assistance tells me this value is found in EINA-MATKL.  However, when I do an extract for the info record from EINA, the field is blank.
    My two info records (standard and sub-contracting) in EINE were created differently.  The standard one was created using ME11 and a plant was entered.  Because a plant was entered, the material group value was not required.  The sub-contracting info record was automatically created when the PO was created (InfoUpdate button is on).  In the PO, the material group was also entered; however, a plant was not added to the info record because we do not have EVO set up to include the plant when the info record is automatically created.  (This is something I can change).
    This is very confusing when we are looking at these info records and it appears data should be there but it is not.  This most noticeably happens with the ones that are getting created automatically and then a different category is created using ME11. Are we are missing some addl requirements in configuration when these records are being created automatically????
    Can someone please explain????  I need to come up with a solution to this problem.

    If you want to enter diff ordre unit than in the PIR
    In this case in the material master purchasing screen you have to activate the var order unit
    enter 2 here
    now go to your info record and on general data screen you will see the field var ordre unit
    here enter 2
    than click on conditon from menu
    system will popup the order unit screen
    here keep cursor on box and click choose
    now it will allow you to maintain the box price also
    once you do this than it will automatically defult in the Po upon selection.

  • System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Pr

    Hi Experts,
    Issue- System not changing the G/L account when material group is changed in Purchase requistion.
    Process followed:
    1. Create Service Pr with material group 5040 which is assigned to valuation class 3511 and 3511 is assigned to g/l account 51370000
    2. Changed Service PR material group from 5040 to 5050. 5050 is assigned to valuation class 3512 and 3512 is assigned to G/L account 51260000
    The issue is when we changed the material group from 5040 to 5050 system is not picking the g/l account which is assigned to 5050 i.e. 51260000
    instead the g/l remains remains as before which is there for 5040 i.e. 51370000
    Please let me know how can we resolve this problem and pick the correct g/l. Please find the attachments
    Regards
    Badri

    Hello Badari,
    if you are using the item category D "Services", explanation from note  663983 - ME22(N), ME52(N): No new G/L account from material group applies:
    Please consider the following:
    You can maintain the material group both at item level and at service line level. If you subsequently change the material group at item level, the material groups remain unchanged in the services. As a result, the G/L account is not redetermined at service line level.
    In order for the G/L account to be redetermined, you must explicitly change the material group in the service line.
    Kind Regards

  • 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.
    Regards

  • 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 .

    Can anyone advise on where i need to add data in customizing as well as wht impact it'll have. I want to maintain some other values not related to material in this field, a drop down.
    Also wht impact will it have, which reports will pick this field ec.
    Thanks
    Keshi

    Hi,
    Pls goto  the menu ,logistics general - material master - settings for key fields - data relevant to sales and distribution - define material groups.
    These are not similar to the material groups which are used for pricing and hence  can be altered to meet your analysis requirement. It wouldn't have any impact
    Hope it helps.
