Source List for Material Group

Hi All,
How do I maintain a source list for a material group.? Since ME01 requires a material, I cannot create source list in this tranasction.
The client want a the Source (for material Group) to be assigned automatically in PR assignment step.
Again, within a material group there can be several infor records, For example:
Mater Group: Office Supp.....I can have two infor rec for the same vendor....one with "Short Text" Notepad and another info rec with "Short Text": Paperclips. Or the second info record could be a different vendor also.
How could the system know which one to assign as a source since it's the same material group (one for Notepads and the other for paperclips)??
Thanks in advance

Hi duke,
In SAP we have a choice of creating source list for a "Material Group ". Following is the method.
You may have the outline agreements related to material group rather than a single specific material - For ex. outline agreement with a item category M( Material unknown) or W ( material group).In doing so you can decide whether to exclude or include certain materials of the relevant material group by means of the source list.
To create the source list for a material group proceed as follows.
1) On the outline agreement overview screen, select the items for which you wish to enter the source list record & choose Item --> Maintain source list
2) To exclude the particular material keep the "Exclusion" indicator set against a material with a validity period.
I hope this will be useful to you.

Where do I find list of material group for service material

Hi,
please any one tell , where do i find list of material group used for service materials?
regards,

Hi,
What is the criteria u are using to find out material groups?? If it is on the basis of material type DIEN (services) then go for T code MM60 put material type and u will get all the materials with material groups which has material type as DIEN.
Also u can directly go to SE16 and in T023 table find all the material groups.

Source List for MRP Area

Is there a possibility to maintain source list for MRP purposes
at storage Location level? We receive requirements from a couple
of our subsidaries and we were consolidating this to be a single
requirement for our suppliers, however this has changed we have
to now show each subsidary's requirements individually. We
currently only use a single plant, previously we created
additional plants for this and maintained a separate source list
for each. Is this the best way to represent and run MRP for each
subsidary? Thanks.

Dear Kennedy,
Source list for Storage Location level not possible!!
An MRP area represents an organizational unit for which you can perform material requirements planning separately.
An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or a subcontractor. You can define MRP areas in a plant.
By defining MRP areas, you can perform MRP for each area. This means the right quantity of materials can be provided on time for each area, such as a production line, a storage location for spare parts, or subcontractor stock.

Dear Dheeraj,
Thanks for your reply for my first question. But can you through some light on the second question? Source list is a madatory element to set up an auto PO (ME59). If we cannot maintain source list how to use auto PO functionality for Service.

Purchase info record for material groups

Hi all,
We have purchase info records for material groups, not material specific. When I create and activate integration model for these info records, no info record is sent to APO. Is there a way to create Transportaiton Lanes automatically in APO?
Regards,
Jenny

Hi,
In APOPurchase info record is transfered as external procurement relationship.
Generally Transportation lanes are created automatically for plant to plant transfer when you define special procurement key in MRP view of material master accordingly.
In case of T. lane for vendor, automatic generation may not work. Still you may try using correct special procurement key + material specific vendor info record..
Thanks,

Source List for Standard and Subcontracting Info Record

Dear Sir and Madam,

We have following 2 Standard Info Record and 2 Subcontract Info Record.
Standard InfoRec 1 for Nart A to Vendor 001 --Fixed Vendor
Standard InfoRec 2 for Nart A to Vendor 002
Subcontract InfoRec 1 for nart A to Vendor 003 - Fixed Vendor
Subcontract InfoRec 2 for nart A to Vendor 004
We have the problem here, how can we set the fixed vendor in Source List, for Standard PO using vendor 001 and Subcon using Vendor 003?
Thank you very much,

In source list only one vendor can be assigned.
If u want to assign 2 or more vendor, try using Quota Arragement.

Issue Search Help Exit for Material Group

Dear Expertsl,
I developed a search help exit for material group for the search helps both H_T023 and H_2023_MEPO to restrict certain material groups from the actual display as follows
1) I developed custom table to hold the Invalid material groups
2) Developed search help as same as in the bellow link
link:[https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/CaseInsensitiveSearchHelpExitforMaterial+Group]
3) Before the statement
    SELECT matkl wgbez wgbez60 FROM t023t INTO s_t023t
      WHERE matkl IN t_matkl
i selected the Invalid materials from the custom table into an internal table
4)    i am restricting the entries with the following code.
LOOP AT a_tab.
only move values that meet the requirements
after you convert to upper case.
     MOVE a_tab-wgbez60 TO a_tab-wgbez60_test.
     TRANSLATE a_tab-wgbez60_test TO UPPER CASE.
        MOVE      a_tab-wgbez        TO a_tab-wgbez_test.
        TRANSLATE a_tab-WGBEZ_test   TO UPPER CASE.
        MOVE      a_tab-wgbez60      TO a_tab-wgbez60_test.
        TRANSLATE a_tab-wgbez60_test TO UPPER CASE.
      IF a_tab-wgbez60_test IN i_wgbez60 AND
         a_tab-wgbez_test   IN i_wgbez   AND
         a_tab-matkl        IN i_matkl.
        ADD 1 TO findex.
        MOVE a_tab-matkl   TO temp_tab-matkl.
        MOVE a_tab-WGBEZ   TO temp_tab-WGBEZ.
        MOVE a_tab-wgbez60 TO temp_tab-wgbez60.
        IF findex > callcontrol-maxrecords.
          MOVE 'X' TO callcontrol-maxexceed.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
        READ TABLE i_invalid INTO w_invalid
        WITH KEY matkl = a_tab-matkl.
        IF sy-subrc NE 0.
          APPEND temp_tab.
        ENDIF.
        CLEAR temp_tab.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
This is working fine when we press F4 in ME21N Transaction and give some description and then press enter the popup screen.
But my requirement is user will enter some description in ME21N material group field and press enter ( Not pressing the F4 here) at this moment this is not going through the search help exit and displaying all the entries including the Invalid materials.
Note: We can delete the Invalid material groups but the documents which are having the invalid material already will have an issue and need to be corrected all the documents. But our requirement is only to use the correct materials groups from now onwards.
I would appropriate if any one can helping this regard.
Thanks in advance.,
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
You can call your ZSEARCH_HELP from the PAI , on the event SY-UCOMM = Enter using the function module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST.
For example, your screen field is MARA-ZXXXX, screen 0100 and search help : ZSEARCH_HELP
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      tabname                   = 'MARA'
      fieldname                  = 'ZXXXX'
      searchhelp               = 'ZSEARCH_HELP '
      dynpnr                      = '0100'
      dynprofield                = 'MARA-ZXXXX'
TABLES
   return_tab                = lt_returntab.
This F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST will call your custom search help exit.

Deepa.

Restrict Vendor for material group

Hello Friends,
My client has a new requirement as below:-
I have material groups : 0001, 0002 and 0003
For Material Group 0001 : Only Vendors A, B & C are allowed.
For Material Group 0002 : Only Vendors B, C & D are allowed.
For Material Group 0003 : Only Vendors A, C & D are allowed.
Is this possible any ways. Please help.. If it is not possible in standard, please help with some user exit if any..
Thanks & have a great week end...

Friends,
I am closing this thread since I could find an answer myself the same is shared below hoping that the same will be useful for atleast few..
1) Create the Info record with material group without price (Make price non- mandatory in the config.)
2) Control creation of Info records and price update for Info records thru EVO Parameter and assign the same with user.
3) Make Info record mandatory for the PO
4) Make sure that Info records are maintained for the material vendor combination only where the vendor is a selected (If you dont any one of them control them thru sourcelist or block the vendor)
If this is done if you have not maintained atleast one PIR for material group vendor combination, you can not create a PO.
Guys, Pls let me know if this makes sense..
Regards

No valid task list for material "" plant "" for selection criteria
Does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks,

1. Check in Order type dependent parameter - OPL8, select your Plant & Order type. In this check the task list, it should be N. then selection priority in OPJF settings
2. Chek the routing valid from date for this material by CA02. The production order start date must be between valid date.
3)Kindly check the routing header.Whether it is for usage 1 and Release status '4'
4) Task list we maintain in OP8B please check and come back.

Get back to me your valuable suggestion for the above requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
sanjeevkumar

Hi Sanjeev,
If you wanna search for BADIs, you can follow this method:
go to SE80 transaction and select the class/interface CL_EXITHANDLER, then you have to select the Get_Instance method and put a break-point in the following call:
call method cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface
exporting
instance = instance
importing
class_name = class_name
changing
exit_name = <b>exit_name </b>
exceptions
no_reference = 1
no_interface_reference = 2
no_exit_interface = 3
data_incons_in_exit_managem = 4
class_not_implement_interface = 5
others = 6.
the value of exit_name will give you the name of the BADI that is been call from the transaction. Then you have to execute the transaction MM01 or MM02 and it will stop on each Badi's call.

Eric
