Global Material Group

Hi all,

I want to create a global MDM Material Group Hierarchy, to get alignment on the differences in Material Groups between different systems within one company.

But I was wondering does it matter that the Material Group is used differentlyper country. For instance one country uses this to aid the management of taxes,
rates and bases. Another country uses it to enable spend analysis and another country uses it for pricing purposes.

Hi,

It doesnt matter for MDM that if Material Group is used for different purpose for different country. However with different systems in landscape, there might be cases when some Material Groups wont be used all together or with different subset of data.

hence it would be good to have Remote key enabled on this.

Also it would be batter to degisn the hierarchy keeping the additional attributes in mind (if any due to diff purpose).

Hope this helps
