What are the impacts of changing material group of a Material ?

Hi,
Could some one tell me in detail about the impacts of changing material group of a material that is active in procrement?
Thanks,
Veera

Hi,
If you are changing it from one valid group to another valid group and both will still be there afterwards, then the impact is small, but important.
The data in the Info systems and BW etc. will have been updated with the the "old" material group and so if you tried to compare them you would find differences.
It is something that does happen from time to time and as long as the two groups will still be ther afterwards there should be no reason why this would cause any technical or system problems. The effect is purely on the historic data.
I have seen this done several times in many implementations and so far it has not caused any major problems apart from some reports "appearing" wrong if you compare them against other reports that involve historical movements.

  • What are the impacts of new gl migration on other sap modules.

    Hi
    In need to move to IFRS reporting, my client is planing to migrate from classic gl to new gl (not yet decided which scenario, but most probably we will go with scenario 5).
    We are in stage where we are assessing new gl functionality, impact of new gl migration on other SAP module and what precautions we should carry while drafting project activities for migration plan.
    I am specially interested to know how are other modules impacted by New GL?  Ex.  SD, MM, HR, Treasury, CRM ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Karthik,
    I have already gone thru OSS notes 1014364, 1039752, 1070629 and many more...
    My specific question is, what are the impacts of New GL migration on other SAP module (HR, SD, MM, CRM, and Treasury). I am well aware of impact/changes within FICO.
    Thanks,
    Surendra
    Can anyone tell with their experience if any of the above listed modules have any specific impact/change when we migrate to New GL from Classic GL?

  • What are the consequences of changing the scratch disc??

    What are the consequences of changing the scratch disk? Everything was fine with my project until I tried to work on a new project for someone else. I uploaded new footage to a new session and changed the scratch disk to my other external hard drive. Now there is confusion with my initial project..

    This is something we all live with. You have to be careful going back and forth between projects, if you are using different scratch disks for each. If you are editing a project on one scratch disk, then start a new project on another, remember to switch back to the original scratch disk when you go back to the original project. Otherwise render files will wind up on the wrong drive, or worse, you will capture to the wrong drive. Each issue is correctable by managing your media over to the proper drive, and deleting then deleting from the other.

  • What are the ramification of changing the default installation path?

    Some of the users in my agency would like to standardize the installation path so it doesn't change when we upgrade from one version to another. There are other applications that use Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro, and a standard path would be helpful. What are the ramification for security and quarterly updates?
    We are on Win 7 Pro SP1, mostly 32-bit.

    I tend to agree, and strongly recommended against it. Especially since Adobe products can be finicky. And the path that they have to update is not dynamic, unfortunately.
    Thanks.

  • What are the steps to change existing sharepoint 2010 farm database server to a new server

    Hi
    i have a sharepoint 2010 farm and backend with sqlserver2012 standard edition on windows server 2008 r2 server
    now what are the steps to if  want to  connect this farm to a new sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 server and remove this existing server
    adil

    You have two options:
    Use a SQL Alias and you will then need to swing all databases over to the new SQL Server
    Don't use a SQL Alias and swing all but the Configuration and Administration databases to the new SQL Server, and individually re-configure Service Applications/Web Applications to use the new SQL Server. This will force you to keep the old SQL Server around.

  • What is the impact - Activating Change Logs for Material Classification Dta

    To activate Change Logs for Material Classification Data I must first set the flag for "Multiple Objs Allowed" for the Class Type 001 Material Class. I am curious of what the impact of setting this flag will be. Also, is there a way to measure the DASD impact of activating the Change logging for this data.
    Thankyou
    Kevin

    In addition to the performance impact the process of turning on Change Logs for Classification data will convert the tables KSSK and AUSP to use an internal SAP number as a key instead of the Material number. This will cause problems for any custom programs that access those files directly and expect the material number to be the key. This file conversion occurs during the execution of program RCCLUKA2 which is used to Flag the change logs for existing records. This can be reversed by running report RMCLINOB. Because of the above impact we decided here to NOT implement this change in production.

  • What are the implications of changing your Apple id when you own multiple devices?

    Hi There,
    I would like to change my regular email service provider and instead use only my new gmail address. My apple id is the same as my regular soon to be replaced email address. I understand that in the past you could not change your apple id but you could change the email address associated with the apple id. However now it seems that you can change your apple id and by this I dont mean getting a new one, I simply mean editing the old one and infact Apple encourages people to make sure that their Apple id and email address are the same. So, my questions is considering the fact that I own multiple Apple devices (iPhone, iMac and iPad), what will the implications be of doing this and what do I need to consider before I change my Apple id to my new Gmail address? I know for example that apps are apparently permanently associated with a single Apple id so I guess I will have to redownload and pay for them. But what do I need to do on my iPhone, iMac and iPad to make sure that iMessage, iCloud etc is unaffected and continue to work properly. I guess for a start I need to tell everyone who communicates with me via iMessage that they have to use a new Apple id for example. I am worried that a change like this will cause mayhem among my devices and I'll regret it. Right now I have kept my old Apple id and simply added an alternate email address to my account that being my new Gmail address. Maybe its simpler to keep it this way. Thanks in advance for the words of wisdom. Cheers.

  • How to stop vdbench from external applications? What are the impacts?

    I am using vdbench to test following scenario:
    1) Start vdbench - do read/write (I use poweshell start-process to start vdbench which returns me the process object )
    2) Poll for particualr system event(my test condtion). When the event happens stop read/write ASAP(To stop the process I use powershell Stop-process and pass process object as the argument. This actually stops IO as seen task manger)
    3) Continue testing
    I want to understand
    1) Are the steps followed correct?
    2) What is the correct method to stop vdbench from external application?
    Regards
    Jugari

    An other thought, that maybe is of interest to you, coming in the next version of Vdbench.
    A conversation with one of my internal users:
    It does not make sense to look at current Vdbench output trying to figure out what is happening when.
    This locks us in to tricks and guessing and prevents me from make changes to the output.
    Monday I will create a new file in Vdbench: status.html
    This file will only be there for any kind of wrappers to see what is going on.
    I'll make sure that the file contents are flushed to the file system as soon as a line of text has been written.
    * Vdbench status
    * The objective of this file is to contain easily parseable information about the current state of Vdbench.
    * This then can serve as an 'official' interface for any software monitoring Vdbench.
    * Each line of output will be immediately flushed to the file system, making its content accessible by any monitoring program.
    * The values below are all tab-delimited.

  • What are the effects of changing master data in bw

    hi gurus
    we have changed a plant (#1234) master data it was under comapany code(12) now it is under comapny code(59) on the r3 side, now there is data in the cubes already which was loaded before the change, and we still want to use it, but since master data has changed and reloded, what will happen when i run reports on the old data,
    secondly i know i can use time dependant objects but my question is what will happen if i dont use it. will the old data run fine under the new comapny code?  and what other things will this change effect.

    ok whats confusing me is that suppose we have this record in the cube
    Comp Code       Plant     kf
       16                   9823     45
    comp code & region is an attr of plant and this is the new master data
    plant     comp code  region
    9823        39              CA
    and this is old master data
    plant     comp code  region
    9823        16              TX
    now when the user tries to drill down by region on that transaction record what will he get for region
