Symptom
- Encountered an error when attempting to change the Purchasing Info Record (PIR).
- The error message displayed is "Material group differs from material group from info record".
- The issue arises when the material group in the material master differs from the material group in the info record.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Attempt to change the Purchasing Info Record.
- Encounter the error "Material group differs from material group 310 from info record".
Cause
- The system first takes the material group from the material master, if it is filled.
- If it's not filled there, then it will pull the material group from the info record, provided that it's filled there.
- If the material group in the material master and the info record are not the same, the error message is triggered.
Resolution
- Ensure that the material group is the same in both the material master and the info record.
- If it is desired that the system pulls the material group from the info record, remove it from the material master.
- Be aware that even after removing the material group from the material master, an error may still be encountered.
- The material group can be set as a warning, and if the material group is removed from the material master, it will pull it from the info record, most likely issuing the warning.
