3565006 - Issue with updating Material Group in Purchasing Info Record in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

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

  1. Attempt to change the Purchasing Info Record.
  2. 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

  1. Ensure that the material group is the same in both the material master and the info record.
  2. If it is desired that the system pulls the material group from the info record, remove it from the material master.
  3. Be aware that even after removing the material group from the material master, an error may still be encountered.
  4. 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.
