SAP Note 592229 - MC84: Create product group with generated material number

Component : Planning - Sales & Operations Planning

Summary :
When using Transaction MC84 to create product groups without specifying names, and utilizing internal number assignment with an activated user exit in the material master, an error occurs after the initial product group creation. Subsequent attempts to create a product group yield errors such as "The material is already maintained for this operation" or "The number xxxx is not provided for the material type PROD product group." The issue stems from Transaction MMZ1 within the user exit, and a program error is identified as the cause. The recommended resolution is to implement specific source code corrections to mitigate this error.

Key words :
material type prod product group, source code corrections, internal number assignment, prerequisites transaction mmz1, create product groups, -mentioned error message, material master, product group, product groups, error message
