Use
In this Customizing activity, you can access the BRFplus function Determine Material Group from Item Data (/SRMERP/F_DET_MAT_GRP) to define how the material group is determined for shopping cart items that neither have a material group nor a material number. This can be the case, for example, for free-text items or for catalog items without a material master.
This function is processed before follow-on document creation to ensure that purchase requisitions and purchase orders can be created automatically.
For more information about BRFplus, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com under SAP NetWeaver Library --> SAP NetWeaver Library: Function-Oriented View --> Application Server --> Application Server ABAP --> Other Services --> Services for Application Developers --> Business Rule Framework plus.
Requirements
Standard settings
By default, the BRFplus function Determine Material Group from Item Data (/SRMERP/F_DET_MAT_GRP) does not contain a ruleset. As long as you have not defined a ruleset, the system creates a purchase requisition with status Parked. The purchase requisition must then be processed manually by a purchaser.
Activities
To define the material group determination, you assign your own ruleset to BRFplus function Determine Material Group from Item Data (/SRMERP/F_DET_MAT_GRP).
