Update Material Group on PO After PO Has been Created but Before PO Gets Invoiced

[former_member1324450]

According to the business - the Material Group field on the Basic Data tab of the material (MARA-MATKL) is incorrect for some materials.

When a purchase requisition (preq) / purchase order (po) is created the Material Group is pulled from the MM and loaded into those documents. The material group field on the preqs and pos is not a field that can be edited.

The business would like to mass change the POs before they are invoiced.

Steps we took to research:

1) SAPMMSDL program did not work correctly and did not update the PO.

2) A direct table update (EKPO) resulted in tax issues because the material group is taken into consideration during the tax jurisdiction process.

3) Informed business to clean up the data.

The question we have is if there is a way to update the material group in a PO before the PO is invoiced ?
