Reg.Material group changing

Dear Experts
We want to change the material group for 50 materials,is it possible to do without going mm02. Pls help
Thanks in advance

Hello Raja,
You can do it using transaction MM17, but, please be aware that :
If the material is already used in purchasing, when you change the matkl field
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
Regards,
Mauro

Material group Change

9i,
I would like to Change Material Group in Material Masterdata through MM02.
But I have one doubt.Before Changing Material group I am tacking MC.9 Report for Stock statement.For Ecample in old Material group(xxxx) Some Stock is there 100.Like these Group XXXX qty 100.
Then I am change New Material group YYYY in XXXX Plance.Now i am tacking MC.9 Report For Stock Statement.Now i want new Material group wise Stock only like these group YYYY qty 100.
These is the My client Requirement.what cani do for these

mc.9 is standard infostructure and it has got its own update rules to update the infostrcture. It wont be possible to have a retrospective update of the infostructure internal tables, and so if you are trying to analyse it for past periods, results may be wrong.

Hello yogesh, sudhansu,
Thank you for your reply.
Because I accept SAP just two weeks, so many concept not very clearly..
At present, I suggest our Purchasing Department delete the old 'agreement' line, and recreate 'agreement' new line for these materials.
I think these will be help them. @_@
These days is Christmas holiday and new years holiday, most of SAP specialists were not in the company.
Just I, only touch SAP two week's newcomers.. Very difficult.
By the way, thanks again for everyone's help.

Material group chang even when request is rejected

Hi Experts,
I am designing a WF where to change the Material Group need approval of supervisor if rejected by supervisor workflow initiator will get a mail for rejection and material group will not be changed.
I designed and linked it to the event the WF is triggering properly but the problem is when supervisor reject the request the WF initiator get a mail but Material group is not set to itu2019s previous value it is getting changed.
Regards
Bikas

Hello Bikas,
The workflow is going to be triggered only when you save the changes that you have made to the material group. So to revert the changes when the superior rejects the proposal, You have to create a method in which the the material group is changed to the previous value. For that reason what I feel, get the previous value of the material group from the CDHDR and CDPOS tables and create a background process(a BDC) which updates the material group to the previous value. Use this method in a step in the workflow that you have designed.
Hope this will help you.

Reg : material master change history

Hi All.
I am changing the value of the material master characterstic assigned to class under the classification TAB of material master.
I want to extract the last chaged date of the characterstic value.
The material master change history ( Table CDHDR) is not reflecting the changes done to the characterstic value.
Can anybody please suggest me how can i extract the change history of the characterstic value of a given class for a given material.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi
If a field is changed in any transaction with a new values those changes are recorded in CDHDR and CDPOS tables with the field name, Transaction name and field old and new values, changed by and date etc
So you have to fetch the change data history from those tables passing the
OBJECT CLAS = MATERIAl and the Objectid = Material no and fetch the data from CDHDR first and then for all entries of CDHDR fetch the data from CDPOS and use the data and required fields

Reg: material group

Dear All,
We have a product item no xxxxxxxx (Misc. without part no.) where we use
this item in sales orders for any "Price Difference" invoiced to CKL or CKL
invoices to it's customers.
Our problem and what we have just realized below is that, the "Material
Group" is defined as "CRDIV" which refers to "CR MISC", misstating our
statistical information in BW.
This item must be financially evaluated within a group called MISC but not
anywhere under any regular product groups like CR or another pump group.
What I'm finally asking is to remove current "Material Group" setup as you
can see at below screen-shot and instead, redefine the Material Group with
an appropriate one which won't ruin CR's sales statistics.
Please give me the valid input on this.
Thanks & Regards
Siva

Can I change material group or division when the material still has stock?

What will be effected?
Thanks in advance,
Linda
Edited by: Linda Gao on Jun 23, 2011 6:06 PM

Division: Changing a division might not have much impact.
Material Group: Changing a material group will impact on the Purchasing.
-->The info structures statistics might already been updated with the old material group.
--> The release strategy has to be checked if you are using the material group.
--> POs which has been ordered with the material group (like service)

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

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

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.

Error in CIF while change in Material Group in R/3

Hi,
I have assigned Material Group Description as an external field in Extra Tab in APO. When I create a material the CIF updates the filed correctly.
When I change the material group the CIF gives and error "Location does not exist for external location FR02, type , and BSG BSG1" where FR02 is my Plant.
When I delete the queue and re execute the IM the change is updated in APO.
Can someone tell me why the above CIF error appears for every change done.

Nilesh,
It is common for experienced ABAPers to be able to determine this on their own. Normally all you should have to do is explain in business terms what is happening, and the ABAPer should be able to troubleshoot the problem without you first discovering the code details for him.
There are a couple of ways to populate the aux fields in the SCM product master. The first userexit I would look at would be CIFMAT01 on the R/3 side.

Automatic change of G/L account with change of material group in PO

Experts,
we're facing an issue with the change of the G/L account in a PO after the material group has been changed. We're creating purchase requisitions from SRM (account assignment type K) with material group and G/L account. Starting to create the PO with ME21N from PR we want to change the material group. After the change we still have the original G/L account.
Valuation class and account assignment is defined correctly and if we create a manual PO the correct values are used. What do we need to change so that the G/L account is directly changed with the change of the material group?
Thanks
Hubert

Hi Hubert,
I am assuming that you are not using the material master and trying to default the G/L account using the material group.
Can you check whether the valuation class assign in this config for the respective material group are same.
Purchasing> Material Master > Entry Aids of items without a material Master.
System should default the G/L account if you maintain different valuation class in material group with the respective G/L define in OBYC.
Secondly, Please check the Account assign categories configuration for the account modification.
Purchasing > Account assignment > Maintain Account assignment Categories.
Cheers!

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
TomT
