Two points:

A. If two material type is same in screen selection, value/quantity update etc field, it will can be changed regarding to exist open PO, accounting or not.

B. If two material type is different in screen selection, value/quantity update etc field, you have to clear all open PO, available stock, accounting etc, then you can change material type.

Using MMAM you can change the Material type.

There are hundereds of threads answered related to material type change.

So, use SDN forum search.

hi

Material Type can be changed subject to following conditions

Old & new type must be assigned to same account category

No open PO , Stocks ,reservation etc.

now check the material type views for both material types they should be same

u can use MMAM for material type change or use MMZ2

Thanks, sir, old & new type must be assigned to same account category, it's means that i can not change material type from ROH to HALB for one material? because the ROH with 0001 account category, and the HALB with 0008 category.What's the effections if the account categorys are different?

Sir,

Its not possible tha one matcode having 2 diffrent materil types..

The material type should be unique for all the plants in single company code..

For changing material type..

The validations are..

1.Pl delete all the pending GRN's,PO,PR's..

2.Pl perform material to material stock transfer using MB1B/309

3.After all i dont think it will effect for account assignments..

Use transaction MMAM

Menu: - Logistics > Material Management > Material Master > Material > Change Material Type..
