3rd Party Sale- Mat Typ

[former_member461383]

Why it is necessary to've HAWA as a Mat Typ for 3rd party sales? What if we use FERT or any other Mat Typ?

Hi

In addition to the comments made by the other friends

Why HAWA is generally used for third party is for logical reasons

HAWA material type is for trading goods and third party item we normally dont manufacture or keep inventory as on when the order comes it is directed to the vendor who makes supplies

Generally in SAP terminology FERT is finished goods from our own manufacturing which is ready for sales

Having said this we can use FERT also for third party

Absolutely no difference from SD point of view

The key here in third party is Material Master Record should have item category group as BANS and general item category can be any thing

Thro this it picks up TAS as item category which has some specific controls

TAS with MRP type in MMR (normally MRP type is maintained blank for third party) determines schedule line category CS which has a lot of controls

So ultimately if you look at it item category and schedule line category controls the entire third party processes which is initiated from item category group BANS and there is no role of material type

Hence it can be FERT or HAWA

HI R S,

HAWA (trading goods)

Trading goods are always procured externally and then sold. A material master record of this material type can contain purchasing data and sales data.

The material type you choose determines:

--->Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable material or process material.

-

---

>Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally.

-

---

>The number range from which the material number is taken.

-

---

>Which screens appear and in what sequence.

-

---

>Which departmental data you may enter.

-

---

>What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both.

-

---

>Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement; that is:

-

---

>Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record.

-

---

>Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting

In addition, the accounts affected by a material entering or leaving the warehouse depend on the material type.

RS,

There are two scenarios in third party process.

1. If you are manufacturing the Finished Material and supplying it to the customer at the same time if stock is not there you procure it from third party vendor and supply it to customer. In that case we use Item category Group = NORM and item category = TAN and manually you can change the the item category as TAS. Manual intervention is mainatained based on the availability of the material in our plant

2. Wherein you are performing this as seperate scenario and process using Trading goods HAWA. In that case you maintain Item category Group as BANS and item category = TAS this item category is automatic where manual intervention is not made. Here the materials are procured from external vendor and passed down to customer

hello, friend.

first of all, you can use FERT in third party transactions. the item category TAS is the significant factor in this type of transaction.

i think the procurement strategy of the material is what could be more important. if your procurement is only internal (in-house production), then you may have some issues in this regard.

cheers.
