material assignment in external activity

[Former Member]

Hi PS Gurus,

At the time of creation of external activity system is asking fro material group as a compalsory field. We have checked all related settings of mandetory field req for material group where there is no such mendatory field.

We have to assign different materials having diff mat groups in the same activity .

Is there any implication of material group to cost element & G/L account?

Dear,

Material group is very useful field in external activity.

In customizing G/L is mapping with material group in case of external activity.

Due to this material group put G/L for your transaction, So material group is mandatory field and useful field.
