Use material groups in FI invoices to determine the GL account

All,
For our incoming non purchase order invoices we use Vendor invoice in financial accounting in ECC 6.0
My customer wants to start using material groups in their financial incoming invoices to determine the GL Account. ? It sounds not logical me but is that possible ?
Thanks!
AS

Hello AS,
Standard SAP never determine GL accounts with respect to any groups / valuation area ,if you want to post direct FI invoice. You can derive GL accounts with respect to material groups ,if FI invoice is PO based.
It may possible through user exit's but it shouldn't be logical in my point of view.

Dear all
What I mean to say it, we do not have follwoing master in our company.
Material master, Vendor master & Pur.Info records,I did not know what configuration has been there in PRD server,But once we gave Authorization to our user regarding Vendor Report, they are getting the Vendor evaluated automatically,So I thought It is taking the material Group as a reference for Evaluation,That why i requesting your guy how we can do configuration in related to Vendor Evaluation.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How to use Material Group in substitution rule

Hello,
Anyone experience in how to use the entry of the material group of a PO, in a substitution rule for accounting documents.
I have noticed the material number can be used within a substitution rule, and is also available in BSEG... so far have not find a solution to do this for a material group.
Please note, this is applicable for PO with no materials (ONLY a material group to use for account determination).
Many thanks,
Daan

Determine the Root Account

How can I determine which account is the root account? After upgrading computer and moving data via time machine, I have two accounts listed as admin, however the new one I created on new computer does not act like root account.

kflau,
As Nerowolfe suggested keep the spare admin account. Test it for functionality occasionally and keep it in reserve. If your main admin should 'break' you may be able to use the reserve to fix it, or do some other admin task. You should also use a non admin as your day to day browser login. You can switch stuff about using the "Shared" user.
Root is a an admin but more than, and it is best kept in the cupboard. I do on rare occasions see apps telling me when in an admin,'You don't have enough privileges to do "X" and have resorted to root, but that is rare and probably idiosyncratic to the procedure concerned.
Try this; open the Utility app, 'Directory Utility". Click on the lock and enter an admin name and password. Put your mouse on 'Edit" tab and look at the drop down. If it says , 'enable root', then root is disabled. If it says 'disable root' then root is currently enabled. To enable root you enter a password for it. You can give root a password (and any other user for that matter) by booting from the install disk, navigating to the utilities menu (choose a language click to install but don't go the full distance) For most users assign PWs in the user pane in Sys Prefs and for root , in said app Directory utility.
There have been cases reported here where root , and maybe other users have been effectively lost that's once in a blue moon.

Link between Material group and GL account

Hi Friends ,
Need your help in the following issue
Where is the link between Material group and GL account. i.e. If material group is selected in PO then the GL account for the material should get picked up automatically in PO (for account assigned POs) ?
What I know is
1. In Account assignment category configuration we need to assign the value "VBR" in Account Modification field.
2. In Material group configuration we need to assign the vluation class for material group
3. In Account determination(OBYC) for GBB transcation type for the combination of general modifier "VBR" & Valuation class we need to assign the GL account .
When PO is created with respective account assignment category the GL account is picked from the above setting.
My question is , "Is there any other setting apart from the above which will decide the GL account in PO fro account assigned POs"?
Thanks
Deva

Hi,
From IMG> Material Management> Purchasing> Material Master> Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master,
With it you can define the G/L account assignment according to the relationship between material group and valuation class, from my point of view, you had better define some valuation class for non-produciton parts in advance.
Good luck

How to determine the purchasing group using BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND

Hello Friends
We use SRM Server 5.5 (Classic scenario).
As you know that, purchasing group has the responsible product categories in PPOMA_BBP, when user creates the shopping cart to determine the purchasing group.
In our case, we should determine the purchasing group using other criteria.
MM side is OK to determine the purchasing group using specific criteria.
Because Material Master has the purch. Group information.
In case of SRM, we should develop the logic using BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI.
But Im not sure how to use this badi.
We want to determine the purchasing group based on the following logic.
If described shopping cart without product ID
Do Standard purchasing group determination logic.
Else
Assign the purch group from MARC- EKGRP (Purchasing Group)
Is it possible to determine above the logic?
If yes, Could you give me some information?
Thank you,
Best regards,
SH

Thank you for your answer.
I found the way to develop the our logic using BADI: bbp_pgrp_find.
But Im not sure the following logic is correct.
To differentiate described req. or product id req, We check the E_ITEM PRODUCT using BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL.
IF E_ITEM PRODUCT is blank, Read the category ID to find the purchasing group.
To find the purch. Group, we can use FM: BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP.
Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA Category _ID
Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
ELSE
CALL the customer function to read the R/3 purchasing group from MARC- EKGRP
Search the HRT5500-TABNR using purchasing group from R/3.
Search the HRP5500 OBJID using HRT5500-TABNR
Call the FM: BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP
Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA PROC_GROUP OBJID
Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
Thank you
Best Regards

Importance and uses of material group

Hi All,
I need to know the importance of Material Group and where all it is used in Procurement.
Regards ,
Ritesh.

hi,
Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
You can use material groups to:
Restrict the scope of analyses
Search specifically for material master records via search helps
Maintain External Material Groups
In this step you can assign a material to an external material group, or to a material group that was created using externally-defined (non-SAP) structures.
u will get the settings under menu path:
SPRO > IMG > LOGISTIC GENERAL > MATERIAL MASTER > SETTINGS FOR KEY FIELDS > DEFINE MATERIAL GROUPS.
for service PO we have to assign the valuation class to material group under the menu path:
SPRO > IMG > MATERIAL MANAGEMENT > PURCHASING > MATERIAL MASTER > ENTRY AIDS FOR ITEMS WITHOUT A MATERIAL MASTER.
can assign a purchasing value key and a valuation class to a material group.
The assignment of a purchasing value key provides you with default values for reminder levels etc. in purchase order items without a material master record and without an info record.
The assignment of a valuation class to a material group enables the system to determine different accounts for the individual material groups.

jash

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
MM SAP Consultant

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;
Kind Regards

Material type & material group

Dear All,
what is the different between material type & material group

Hi,
Material type:
Materials with the same basic attributes are grouped together and assigned to a material type. This allows you to manage different materials in a uniform manner in accordance with your company's requirements
The material type identifies the characteristics of a material that are important with regard to Accounting and Inventory Management. A material is assigned a type when you create the material master record.
"Raw materials" and "finished products" are examples of material types. In the standard MM module, the material type for the former (ROH) denotes an externally procured (bought-in) material, whereas the material type for the latter (FERT) indicates that the relevant material is produced in-house.
Material type you choose determines:
u2022     Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material
u2022     Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
u2022     The number range from which the material number is taken
u2022     Which screens appear and in what sequence
u2022     Which departmental data you may enter
u2022     What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:
u2022     Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
u2022     Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting
In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.
Material Group:
    Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
    You can use material groups to:
u2022     Restrict the scope of analyses
u2022     Search specifically for material master records via search helps
It can be assigned in material master in Basic Data1 (Client level) and Purchasing (Pur org level) views.
Regards.

Using/Populating Consolidated InfoObjects w/o MDM Determination of Matches

Hello,
We have two separate R/3 systems with overlapping Materials and Material Groups, and would like to reclassify the Material Groups (but not Materials) into "global" numbers/IDs using the consolidated InfoObject 0GN_CAT_PUR.
My question is about how/where to load the mapping information. I'm thinking that all of the match criteria would be loaded into the attribute table for 0GN_CAT_PUR (Back-End Object Type, SSID of a Category, Material Group). Then, for each line of Transaction Data, the determination of global Material Group (e.g. "Purchase Category") would occur via lookup in the Update Rules where the code references the ATTR table information.
Can anyone confirm (or deny) this - that the match/lookup is made off of the ATTR (P) table for Consolidated InfoObjects, and that the only data which must be loaded for this lookup to work is in the ATTR table of the consolidated InfoObject?
Thanks in Advance,
E P

Have confirmed the above. The "match" information for Consolidated InfoObjects is contained within the ATTR fields. We have added an additional ATTR to store the new Global Material Group, and made that attribute navigational in the InfoCube. This solves the reporting/reassignment issues. The "master" list of local material groups is stored in the core 0GN_CAT_PUR values (e.g. the Key Field is a concatenation of SSID, Object Type, and local Material Group), and the re-classification is stored in our custom attribute. This custom attribute is then used in the reports to show and classify the data according to the Global Material Group.
