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

Hello, 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;

  • UNSPSC Code Mapping with Local Material Group

    Hi Experts,
    We are on SRM 7.0 SP05
    We are trying to map UNSPSC Code with R/3 Material Group, which has been replicated to SRM. We have maintained the mapping table for UNSPSC with SRM Material Group.
    We are using the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to change the UNSPSC with a corresponding material group and are modifying the internal table enriched_item_datacategory_id field. Though we are able to successfully change it in the BADI but the changes are not reflected in the shopping cart. Does anybody know why this happens? Is there an OSS note to resolve this problem?
    Appreciate your great help
    BR,
    Siva

    Muthu,
    We have not done anything with MDM but as for CCM, I can tell what we have done...
    In IMG: Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content Management, you can define your schemas and mappings.
    When shopping through a catalog, make sure the SCHEMA and the UNSPC are passed in the OCI stream.  If your scemas and mappings are straight-forward, then no addtional coding is required.  However, if this is not the case, addtional coding in BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER may be needed.
    I have seen in the forums that many have recommended custom tables and mapping code in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.  However, I like to stick to standard as much as I can.
    This may be simplistic, but I think it will help you get a idea on the CCM side.  Sorry I could not help you with MDM.

  • 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
    Regards,
    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

  • VA01: Creation of SD order with several material codes,with and without VAT

    hi guys,
    could someone tell me how to set up the system to not be able to create an SD orders with a mix of VAT condition?
    We don't want a sales order with an combination with and without VAT.
    Pls advise. Thanks.

    could someone tell me how to set up the system to not be able to create an SD orders with a mix of VAT condition?
    We don't want a sales order with an combination with and without VAT.
    H i
    1.The Vat ( Tax ) is applicable on basis of Customer and Mareial Tax classification.
    2. So as far as material is concerned , group all VAT applicable material in One Division
    Say in FMCG Company
    Divisions are Soaps , Skin Care , Shampoo etc
    Create Sub Divsions say for Eg Soaps-------Soaps 1( Taxable) & Soaps 2 .( Non Taxable ) and acordingly for other divisions
    And then Create Sales Areas accordingly.
    All this will need Reorganisation of your Sales Area

  • 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.

  • Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

    Dear Experts,
    I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
    We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
    When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
    Can anybody help on this.
    Regards

    @ Biju,
    As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
    first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
    we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
    Hope it is clear.
    @ Dev Patra,
    we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
    we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

  • 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,
    Kumar

    You 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..

  • 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 LSMW

    hi
    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

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

    What will be effected?
    Thanks in advance,

    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)
