In some cases it is possible to change the Material Type of a Material Master.

Prerequisites:

Configuration of both material types must be similar (see transaction OMS2 u2013 Material Type configuration)

There should be no open POu2019s against this material

There should be no valuated stock against this material

There should be no open line items against vendors for this material (see transaction FBL1N u2013 Vendor Line Item display)

Material Type can be changed using transaction MMAM

Menu: Logistics > Material Management > Material Master > Material > Change Material Type (tcode MMAM)

Search the SDN forum for material type change, you will get lots of threads....example chk below
