1. The reorganization process begins with updating the material groups in the material master, since this forms the basis for the other objects.
2. the transaction data and conditions are then adjusted. The system checks whether there is a material number in the objects.
3. a) If there is a material number, the "new" material group is assigned, which was stored in the mapping of the material.
3. b) In the case of transaction data or conditions without material assignment (for example, purchase requisition with user-defined text), the mapping "old" would access "new" material groups and thus provide the corresponding information.
4. By using a simulation mode, which shows the result list of the converted objects, it is possible to check the assignment of new to old material groups per object.
5. After the results have been verified, the update run can be performed.
6. After the merchandise categories have been successfully converted in the master data and movement data, you can delete merchandise categories that are no longer used in Customizing.
Following the reorganization of the SAP merchandise categories, we recommend that you reconstruct the Purchasing Information System and Inventory Controlling in the SAP standard system, since some structures use the merchandise category as evaluation characteristics. The contents of the structures are first deleted and then rebuilt from the existing processes. The purpose of the new structure is to ensure that the updated merchandise category structure is used in reporting.
After the reorganization of the merchandise categories has been completed, you have a clean system and can work with your new merchandise category structure. The GAMBIT Reorganisationscockpit is installed once in your system and can be used again and again as required.
