Material master doubts

Former Member

Hello SDN!

I need some clarification on material master data:

For example, lets use a material called a pen and we only refer to 1 single model of this pen.

Can I say that

1. the same material Pen model can be defined with as many master master data codes as there are sales units for it based on different Sales Org + Distribution channel combinations.

2. the same material can be defined with as many material master data codes as there are loading groups for it based on diferent Plants.

3 so a material is defined in the master data based on as many combinations of plantsales orgdistribution channels as there may be .

regards

Tom

Pen is a final product and you should be aware in SAP, we can define a material type as FERT as long as there is no further process in that. You can have the material type as HALB for nib, cap etc., since these are all sub components of that FERT.

Coming to unit of measurement, the base unit of measurement should be one and and sales unit can be many and this can also be controlled in material master sales org.1 view whether to have multiple sales unit required or not.

thanks

Dear TOM

 so a material is defined in the master data based on as many combinations of plant+sales org+distribution channels as there may be

Yes, You CAN.

But please think of why such a requirement ! when only one MMR is sufficient.

If necessary you can have separate description for all your customers in Customer Material Info Record .

Please update.

Thanks

Dear 4 minutes Tom

ONLY ONE MMR.

For this u may maintain.... many unit of measures. Base UoM, Sales UoM, Delivery UoM, Warehouse UoM.

You can extend to as many plants, distributiion channnels , sales orgs, as you want.

hi tom

this is to inform you that

then we will create only 1 name called PEN as its MMR because it has to contain all the features.

you create one MMR and extend for all SO + DC combinations.

it has to be defined and extended according to the organisatiion units & change its features basing on its requriment

yes its defined on many combinations based on PLANTS + SALES ORGN + DC

hope this clears your issue.
