Material master requirement

[Former Member]

Hi

Each HALB material is usually linked to multiple FERT materials. This is true since spare parts are common across multiple products sold to the customer. There is an obligation to ensure availability of HALB materials even after a (FERT) product is phased out for a specified period. Due to this requirement, it is necessary to link the HALB with multiple FERTs. FERTs, too, have a product lifecycle, i.e. a Phase In date and a Phase Out date.

so requirement is to Identify fields which can be used to store and retrieve the following info for each HALB material created in the system:

Nomenclature: EOL = End Of Life

u2022 Latest EOL Product using this material as spare

u2022 Phase date In for latest EOL Product

u2022 Phase out Date for latest EOL Product

u2022 Support to Date for latest EOL Product

u2022 EOL Y / N for material code

Kindly advise me

Please use Characteristics to maintain these data in material master. You can create a New Material class and have these characterostics and assign to the material master inthe Characteristics tab.

You can use material groups 1/2/3/4/5 which are customisable and you can use 1 each for the fields that you require.
