Hi all,

Could anyone explain the definition for Consumables in SAP.

Hi

Consumables is a material (you can say consumable is a material type attribute). You can have quantity and value updating for these materials.

Ex: you have a material say diesel. You define this material as consumable. You create a material type as consumables with price control and you procure it as a stock material and store it. When ever you require it you issue it for consumption (to process/ department (cost centre)) etc..

Consumebles are materials ( it is a material type) which can used for various activities in your process. It will have quantity and value updation in plants. You can stock these materials in stores

Hi

Can you please help me how to configure a material in SAP which is a stationery/office supply. The client wants to view the stock quantity and value

Hi Aman,

If u want stock of the statinary items,,,, it should be Qty & Value ticked for the Materila type in OMS2 transaction...

u can use the standard one as ROH or create your own materila type copying from ROH ( it should be QTY & Value update indicatore ticked).

No need to have a sepeartate valuation class assign it to account assignment K (cost centre) and enter a specific G/L account for that.

Hi Saidwarakesh

Consumable material in SAP

it refer to those material which are meant for direct consumption.These material are never to be ordered for stock

SAP provides Material Type NLAG for such material. in standard system the material type NLAG is set up in such a way that no accounting view can be created no automatic stock account determination process is carried out whn Purchase order is created .

Hope this clear your query

Thanks and Regards

Hi

Consumable means any thing which goes into consumption. We procure some materials which are directly consumed (non-stockable) where as we can store others as stocks in warehouse.

Thanks
