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.
Regards,
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.

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.

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

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 .

Service entry sheet error.with new material group for services

Dear Experts
We need to create material group for roll shop spare parts service,we created a new material group.
when we are creating PR/PO with item category as D and a/c assignment K( entered cost center here).its giving error message
as RC= 3M8 47 Account determination for entry JSL KBS J001 not possible(while making service entry sheet)
after that i changed PR/PO and gave cost center and G/l account.now the service entry sheet is accepted.
is it necessary give G/L account manually,if user chose wrong G/L account how to avoid this problem.
please clarify me,
do we need to assign valuation class for material group for services?(where to assign)
or
should assign G/L account manually to cost center while creating PR/PO
Please clarify me

Varun

Hi,
Option-1:-- >
Without creating material group and you can use your other service material group(existing service material group) and create a service master in AC03 as spareservice. Create a Service PO with text as roll shop spare parts service with other details as required like quantity of service, cost center & G/L account etc. After service being completed you can do SES in t.code: ML81N
Option-2:-- >
If you want report at the end based on different material/service group level, you can create a material/service group in OMSF for roll shop spare parts service and then you can assign to valuation class to material group in OMQW t.code. Then carry out regular process service order, SES etc.
Based on requirement, you can enter G/L account manually or can set default G/L account in purchasing document with help of t.codes: OMSK, OMQW, OME9, OMGO & OBYC
For error u201CAccount determination for entry JSL KBS J001 not possibleu201D, you cannot assign KBS transaction/event key to an account in OBYC t.code. Only you can assign G/L account to cost center with your CompanyCode in OKB9 t.code. Check the SAP note: 364570 & 106981

Material group assignment to GL

Hi,
How to assign a material group to G/L so that the G/L automatically get
displayed at the time of PO creation
Sanjeev

HI Sanjeev,
The Automatic Account Trigger WRT to Material Group Happens as below.
OLME(Tcode)>Purchasing>Material Master-->Entry Aids for items With out material Master.
in the above node we assign Material Group to the valuation classs.
Since you are Using a Material Group,so the Po shoud always be a Account assigned PO only.
So account Assignment has Account Modifier Key ,which need ed to be Linked to the valuation class.
Now the automatic GL comes from the T code OBYC.
Against the Offsetting Account GBB-(Account Modifier Key Maintained in the account account assignment Category in Account assinermnt P)
For seeing the same go to OLME(tcode)--> account assignment -->Maintain account assignment.
get the Account modifier key.
And maintain the same in OBYC in GBB. with the GL Account.(Debit Entry)
Using the above the GL can be defaulted
There are other factors like valution calss,General modifers that can aslo be used for the same as selection parameters.
Know in this the Other key that can also be used ,which is valuation class as a Factor if you select the same
For Material Group Valution class commes from
OLME>Material Master> Entry aids without master..
Valution Class is maintained as below.
Valuation Class-- Defined in OMSK.
and the other Selection is the Valution Modifier.
it is maintined as below
Valuation MOdifier--OMWD.
here the valuation area(plant) and the company code is attached to a Valuation grouping code ,which is other wise called as valuation modifier.
hope so it helps

Entry Aid without Material Master

Hi Guru's,
We are in a process of implementation and it was decided that we will used the valuation class linked to material groups instead of material master. I have linked the Material groups to Valuation Class through the 'Entry Aid without Material Master' and unfortunately I'm not able to Process the Purchase Order.
Could you please help or advice about the process which needs to be followed to make this solution work without referencing to material master?
Your help will be appreciated,

hi,
Even if you define data there, remember you have to also define material group in the PO as well...Do define short text, account cat, and its additional details...and then check the PO...
Even if it don't work let me know the error message...

Approve suppliers only for specific material groups

Dear Experts,
Current scenario: Our purchasers can buy products from all material groups from every boarded supplier. E.g. they can buy production materials from an office paper supplier.
Target scenario: The moment a purchaser buys a material that's not part of the approved material group of that specific supplier, he get's an error.
What is a practical way to achieve this?
Thanks a lot,
Steffen

Normally we maintain Source lists, which restrict the list of vendors from whom certain materials can be purchased.
Sometimes you can also create a Material group level contract, and then in the PO specify the materials from that specific material group.
but ideally you should go for source list, as it is the simplest and standard way to control approved suppliers for materials. I know its not at material group level , but still its the best option.
Last case, you can go for a development , use the BADI ME PO PROCESS CUST i think it is.

Restriction on division, material group and material.

Hi friends,
current model,
infocube details as below,
0division, 0matl_group, 0material, currency, Base_unit, amount, quantity
Bex PLAN Query as below,
variables on 0division, 0matl_group
rows - 0material
columns - amount and keyfigure
now when the user selects a perticular division from the variable then he should be able to select only those material groups which are allowed under that selected division and similarly material, only those materials allowed selected division and selected matl_group.
I am talking about selecting from the variable (F4).
currently all material groups and all materials are allowed to select after selecting a division..
thanks in advance.

thanks, i solved it

Payment Card Information with Material Groups and Work Orders

When processing purchase transactions that were purchased using a payment card, standard functionality in SAP says the system automatically generates a parked document with authorized users allowed to post these documents. When these documents are being posted, does anyone know if the user can enter a material group and/or a work order number for reporting purposes?

If your business is privately held then SOX does not apply to you. If your business has stock w/shareholders then it does.
Correcting or making the material group more accurite is something that would be MORE SOX complient and not a violation.
