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

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

Difference between material group and external material group

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the difference between the material group and external materila group from the business perspective.
Thanks

Hi Raghunandan,
Material Group : Materials having similar attributes will be goruped together and assigned to a Material Group.
Material groups are Extensively useful during :
Limit the Scope of Analysis
Reporting Purpose
External material group : Key that you can use to assign the material to an external material group or to a material group determined according to external systematics.
In General, External material groups are nothing but external representation of group of material which are extensively used in supply souce determination for provions materials related to retail and some other functions
In short if your Internal material group for example bearing is 0001 you can group externally further based on manufacturer like FAG for NRB. No accounting activity is based on it

Hi,
if you want to give free goods from other group it can be possible only for EXCLUSIVE free good type
In exclusive free goods, a material different from the orignal material can be specified as the free goods.
Example: A customer who buys 200 crates of beer, gets 5 boxes of glasses free.
In VBN1 >> Exclusive
See column ADD FREE MATERIAL
While creating Sales Order what Quantity (Gallons/No./Ltr) to be put?
Maintain alternative units in material master >> Additional data >> Material master,BUT it is only main item
Those item u want to give free that items unit is derived from free goods condition record and it CANNOT be change in order

Regarding Condition record in CRM using field MATKL (Material Group)

Hi All
Currently we are working in SAP CRM 5.2 and it has been connected with backend ECC 6.0.
This scenario is about Pricing which has been maintained in ECC and inturn flows to CRM with few filters in place.
There are few customized Condition Tables in ECC with combination of Sales org./ material group for which discount has been maintained. A proper condition record is also available for this Condition table and it has been assigned to a access sequence and inturn assigned to a condition type.
All these procedures, condition types, access sequence has flown from ECC to CRM. And all the condition tables are active in IMG (Basic Functions / Pricing / Define Settings for Pricing / Create Condition Tables)
When i check in
(SAP menu / Master Data / Prices and Conditions / SAPCND/GCM - Maintain Conditions )
Application - CRM,
Maintenance group - PRODDISCOU,
Maintenance context - GCM
Here for the above mentioned combination when i select the Key Combination (Condition Table) and enter the customized table number (Sales org. / Material Group) iam getting a dump which says the following.
Error analysis
Short text of error message:

Material group is not updated in EINA

Hi Experts,
We are having a situation for EINA table. Whenever a PIR is created with reference to material, its material group is copied from table MARA to PIR, but it is not being updated in EINA table. Where as if PIR is created with refernce to material group (wthout specifying material number), that time material group is visible in EINA table. We are having ECC 5 system.
Any pointers on this is very much appreciable.
Thanks,
Milind

Hello Milind,
Info records are kept in table EINA, either by material or material group. That is, either EINA-MATNR or EINA-MATKL is filled.
Never both!! Due to the fact that the field EINA-MATKL must be blank material info records with NO material master a search on this field   would require a lookup on the material master for each EINA record to find the corresponding material group.
"The field Eina-matkl is not to be updated because it could be changed in material master. Therefore the solution is to initialize the field in case of inforecord with material master. This solution I described is in note 93886. You will see the material group when you display the inforecord but it is not stored in EINA.
see note 444058 and 93886 ...
Thanx & Regards,
Mauro

To assign material group to G/l account you have to matain valuation class for Material group

Assign this valaution class to G/l in OBYC.

Authorizations for materials and material groups

Hello experts,
Is it possible to limit the authorization to make purchase requerisiton of some materials or material groups depending on the user?
I heard that it is possible be able to update some materials using the authorization M_MATE_MAT and including them in the material master, material group and user. But this also works for the creation of purchasing documents (PR,PO,RFQ,...)? Do I have to include this authorization for all the materials? If they do not have I understand that works for every people.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,

Hi Madii,
actually Authorization works at the object level, i.s if you have provided the authorization for the user to makePR with certain Material Grp, then if you dont define that grp in the PO role, but still user will get the authorization from the PR role.
why you want to allow the user to make the PR of certain Mtrl Grp for which he should not be making the PO.
or let a different Body take care of the other mtrl Grp.
Hope it helps.

Stock report for single material contains different material groups

Hi Experts,
              I have a scenario.I want to maintain material group for a material at the time of po creation.In next time i will maintain different material group for the same material.
               But I want to view the the stocks for material group wise which i entered in po.Is it possible to achieve this?
              Please suggest solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepika.

Please read the KBA document 2012912 - Changeablility of the field "material group" in purchasing documents
It clearly says that material group can't be changed in case you will use material master in purchase order.
So, it is clear that you can't use different material group for material master in purchase order.
For stock report, system will only show you the material group which is assigned to the material master (MARA-MATKL). System will not look into the purchase order section (like EKPO).

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.

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

Product heirarchy vs material groups for sales

Hi,
Can I make use of the material groups(5 in toatl in sales view1) to generate report for seeing the value/sale of any material instead of using product heirarchy ?
If I have created a 3 level heirarchy then how best I can use it to see in a report for any level.
Is there any standard report availble to track my sales/inventory needs based on product heirarchy ??
How can I track my purchases/open orders based on the employee resonsible for that material.i.e without having any HR module how can use the or create the staff of my company engaged in purchasing or for that matter selling also.
May be I can use Purchasing group for each employee.But then I need to use the same employee as Sales person.
How can this be achieved or any better option ??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manoj
