Cause

The Material Group in the Material Master ( MARA-MATKL , CDS view I_PRODUCT ) is not used in Maintain Bill of Material to display the Material Group

The Material Group is taken from the Bill of Material Table STPO ( Field field STPO-MATKL ,  CDS View I_BILLOFMATERIALITEMBASIC )

BOM items with item category non-stock (category N) can have purchasing data screen and it is possible to fill the Material Group field . For other BOM items it is not possible to maintain a Material Group.

Resolution

System Works as Designed.
