Does Materials Master Data apply to all organizations?

What sort of materials master would you create for a company that procures millions of non-standard products? Surely, Millions of materials cannot be created because the materials being procured would be of a huge variety and usually not standard. For instance, procurement in an EPC Oil & Gas organization a lot of times consists of procuring specific custom made (fabricated) items. Hence, specific materials that comprise the fabricated item would need to be procured and this always varies.

I know material categories can be created but for the material numbers, How would one configure a materials master list for this? or is it necessary to have one at all?

Your question is if you have millions of materials which vary very little, is it necessary to maintain MMD for them, if yes how you can maintain if I am correct.

First in order to maintain all materials, you can consider one material as main material remaining as sub materials.

In MMD you have one field called old material number you can put main material there.

You can map all sub materials to that main material.

For creating large records LSMW can help you.
