Material Master with Subgroups - SD

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have question about assigning a material to several groups while creating material master.

While creating a material, a material has to be assigned to 3 groups.

1) Material group such as Rubber, Plastic etc, Metal

2) u201CMarketing categoryu201D for discount purpose, eg. Consumables, High value item

3) Another group to say where this items fits, such as TV, Bicycle etc.

For example, if a Material Master has to be created for a small screw which fits into a TV, it has to be assigned to three categories (1) Metal, (2) Low value item (3) TV.

Serial number 1 i.e. Metal can be taken care by mapping to Standard SAP u201CMaterial groupu201D. But I am not able to make out where we can accommodate the remaining two categories. Please suggest me two other fields in SAP to map the remaining two categories.

Please note, DIVISION and PRODUCT HIERARCHY can not be used as they are already taken up for different purpose.
