Hi,

If you are having Open PO'S and stock for the old material, then it is recommended

1.To first close all the open PO'S tick the delivery completed indicator in item details for all the PO'S.

2.Make all the existing to stock to zero , you transfer intial to a dummy cost center with movement type 201 from MB1A for special stock use K and P........

Then change the material type through T-code MMAM... for mass change use BDC take the help from ABAPER..

Hope this may help......

Hi,

You can change material type with transaction MMAM with the following pre-requisites:

1. New mat. type and old mat. type have assigned to same Account category Reference.(This is most important)

2. There should not be any open transactions.

3. Stocks must be zero.

The materail type can be changed using transction MMAM.

1.If theres are open PO's then PO's to be closed or deleted.

As the two material types have different qty/value updating or different accounting category reference.

2.If there is stock exists,then stock should be made '0'.

As account detemination differs for 2 different material types.

Hi

Material type chage belongs to material only.

ex. one material first you created with roh (raw material) now you want to change to halb ( semi finished)

use t.code MMAM change the material material type.

but, there is no open transactions for that material. if any thing is there move to some other dummy material and change the mat type then reverse the all open transactions.

Since you have data wrt to that particular material so it is not suggested to change the material type...otherwise you can process through MMAM
