If you tried to change from FERT to HAWA in 4.6x, you will receive an error message :-

The material type cannot be changed. This is not allowed if only external procurement is defined for the new material type, or if the new material type has a different account category reference than the old material type.

To overcome it, goto OMS2 and change the HAWA material type.
