installed base object family determination

Hi all,

I have requirement for determining installed base object family,

i am trying to use CRM_EQUI_LOAD badi ,

the thing is when we get material number, using this material number we need to change the object family of the

material.

DETERMINE_OBJECT_FAMILY does not take materila number as input,

please suggest some solution for object family change.

Thanks,

Sushant
