In MASSD/MASS transaction, you can update the GROUPVALUE field of table /SAPAPO/MATGROUP but not the field GROUPTYPE.
This limitation occurs because GROUPTYPE is a key field of table /SAPAPO/MATGROUP. Key fields cannot be changed through mass transactions. Key fields can only be deleted and created - not changed.

A recent SAP Note has been released that allows the creation of new entries in /SAPAPO/MATGROUP in transaction code MASS:
3599807 - Enable mass creation of product group assignments
This note enables the official means of creating new entries in transaction MASS, including creation with reference.

For creation, you can use a selection criterion with 'GROUPVALUE' set to fixed value ' ' (blank character). The selection result will be the list of missing entries which fit the other selection criteria. For deletion, you can save a product group entry with an initial GROUPVALUE.

In S/4HANA CIF integration for the Product was removed and simplified (Note 2342043). Some data from SCM was replaced by CDS database proxies from the Material Master. Some Database tables as /SAPAPO/MATGROUP were left unchanged but are now available in the MM product maintenance via MM0x and Fiori. 

In S4, the transaction MASSD can be used to maintain the Product Group fields /SAPAPO/MATGROUP-GRPTYPE and /SAPAPO/MATGROUP-GROUPVALUE.

Hi @SAPSupport ,

You write that it is possible to change the field  /SAPAPO/MATGROUP-GRPTYPE in MASSD, but this is a key field in table /SAPAPO/MATGROUP. 
So how do you do that in MASSD?

Best Regards, 
Gitte Greibe.
