  1. A) You can create a Material Group Info Record, in ME11 enter only the vendor, purchasing org, without or without plant (do not enter material), a dialog box may present to you if you like to proceed to create a material group info record; next screen you will have to enter the Material Group. In fact, when performing Source Determination, the system may recommend the Material Group Purchasing Info Record when all conditions are met.

  2. B) ME01, you must enter a Source List with both Material and Plant. This is as at ECC6.0 EhP6.

  3. C, D) You can create Material Group Contracts. However there are 2 kinds of Material Group Contract:

    'M' (Material Unknown) - this type of contract assume similar price of the materials with the same material group and you can use this for both Value-based or Quantity-based Contracts.

    'W' (Value and Quantity Unknown) - this type of contract assume price can be different, you can even release the PO without material as long as same material group. You can only use this in Value-based Contracts.

  4. E) As at ECC6.0 Ehp5 or perhaps Ehp6 (did not notice any notes about it), there is no possibility to create material group scheduling agreement.
