Link between Characteristics and Material Groups

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I work in a company which uses the procedure with classification for the purschase requisitions. It works with the classe ZN_MM_VAL_DA.

As Characteristics in that classe, there is ZN_GRP_MARCH_CODE_FAMILLE.

I set up values in that characteristics. Those values are used to define the purchasing requesition procedures. They appear in the set up of the procedure, but nothing are linked to that characteristics.

Now; I want to link a material group I have created with that characteristics, in order that I can set up a purchasing requesition procedure with my material group. But I can't manage to do it !

Can someone help me to set up my link between my characteristic and my material group ?

Thanks !

Hi,

Did you assign the material group (s) you wish to add to a release strategy in CL24n? (this is the same as configuration screen of release procedure)

If you have correctly setup the release strategy config and classification data, it should work.

Please let me know step by step what you did and where you are stuck (if you still have problem)

Hi !

First thank for your answer.

In fact in the company I work in, you don't assign a material group to a strategy, but a characteristic which includes several material groups.

I have already set up the stragtegy in SPRO (the same than CL24N) with the right characteristic (set up in CT04), link to the right classification. But I can't manage lo link my material group to my characteristic. When I set up the characteristic, I can add a value that I can choose in the strategy. But that value is just a "text", with no material group linked to it.

I think my problem is how to link the characteristic value to a material group ?

Dear Mathieu,

I'm not sure there's a specific trx to assign a char to material group. You'll need to create a table to map the mat group and char.And modify the exit for your program to read the custom table.

You please cretae a charecteristic with CEBAN-MATKL for material group and assign in your classe ZN_MM_VAL_DA. Does this work out or let me know the detailed steps what have been done?

Hi all,

Thank for all your answers.

The fact is that there is a program which from the charateristic read the first four characters of the material group. When the characteristic value match with the first four characters of the material group, it assignes automatically the material group to the characteristic.

I just have to create my material group, then add my value in the characteristic, then in additionnal data of my characteristic (where we set up the table CEBAN) I just click on the refreshing button. The program does the rest of th job !

Best regards
