Hi,

Finished goods - After the final processing of the raw material in production and final inspection these are the items which are directly sold to the customer.

Eg: Computer, Machine, bike, etc.

In SAP the material type for finished goods is 'FERT'

Raw Material - This is the basic material on which various processes are carried out to convert it into a saleable product.

For eg: Steel Bar of a particular diameter is turned on lathe machine, then grinding is done, inspection is done to finally convert it into a 'TOOL HOLDER' which is a finished product.

Value addition is done on the raw material to convert it from raw material to finished goods.

In SAP the material type for raw material is 'ROH'

Reward points if solution helps.

Hi Sar,

Finish goods are those which are ready to sale and does not require further processing to be done. For e.g.: CAR. Now this CAR is a material which can be created in the system as Finished goods with Material Type FERT.

And the Raw material required to manufacture the Car say Steel sheets are the Raw material which are created in the system using Material Type ROH.

The following are some of the Materila types for your reference:

DIEN Services

ERSA Spare parts

FERT Finished products

FRIP Perishables

HALB Semifinished products

HAWA Trading goods

HERS Manufacturer parts

KMAT Configurable materials

LEIH Returnable packaging

NLAG Non-stock materials

ROH Raw materials

SCRP scrap material

TOLG Toolings

UNBW Nonvaluated materials

VERP Packaging

Hope the above helps you.

REWARD if it helps you!!

Finished products (FERT)

Finished products are produced in-house. Since they cannot be ordered by Purchasing, a material master record of this material type does not contain purchasing data.

Example--->PARACETMOL TABLETS

Raw materials (ROH)

Raw materials are always procured externally and then processed. A material master record of this type contains purchasing data, but not sales data since they cannot be sold.

Example-->Ingridients used to produce the paracetmol

Semifinished products (HALB)

Semifinished products can be procured externally and manufactured in-house. They are then processed by the company

Services (DIEN)

Services can be performed internally or procured externally (outsourced). They cannot be stored or tran

Example--->Insurance,Telecomunacation productsConstruction work

Janitorial/cleaning services

Legal services

Trading goods (HAWA)

Trading goods are always procured externally and then sold

Example--->Third party materials

Product groups (PROD)

Product groups aggregate materials according to certain freely definable criteria. For example, the products may be similar to each other in some way, or they may be finished products that were produced on the same machine.

Perishables (FRIP)

Goods that are perishable in an assortment.

Fruit and vegetables

Dairy products

Meat

Hi

Material types in the SAP standard version are, for example, raw materials, trading goods, semi-finished products, finished products, or services. The material type represents certain features of materials in the system, and has important control functions: the material type is used, among other things, to group field selection functions for a material, or to define the screen sequence, the type of number assignment and number ranges during material master record maintenance. Depending on the material type, company areas maintain different data screens. This screen selection applying specifically to an application is called a "view".

The following are examples of possible material types in the SAP standard version:

• Trading Goods

• Non-stock Material

• Services

• Packaging Material

Trading Goods

Trading goods are movable goods intended for commercial exchange. Examples of trading goods are market goods, consumption goods and durable goods. Trading goods are always bought and re-sold by your company. The material master record for trading goods therefore always contains purchasing data and sales data. Trading goods are managed in the SAP R/3 System using the key HAWA.

Non-stock Material

Non-stock material includes materials that are not managed on an inventory basis (for example, small parts such as nails) though physically in stock. Non-stock materials are managed in the SAP System using the key NLAG.

Services

Services are represented and managed in the SAP System as materials. Services are immaterial goods that differ from other goods, particularly in that their production and consumption coincide. Services are generally regarded as non-transportable and non-stockable. Typical services are commercial services, transport services, bank and insurance services, goods from cultural organizations and the mass media, as well as services provided by the public security forces or the education and health sectors.

Since services cannot be stored, a material master record of this material type does not contain inventory data or inventory management data. No fields for gross weight, net weight or unit of weight are included in the basic data for a service, as are for other material types. Services are managed in the SAP R/3 System with the key DIEN.

Packaging Material

This material type includes all materials needed for packaging. For example, boxes or crates. Packaging materials are managed in the SAP R/3 System with the key VERP.

Hi Finished good-FERT means the final assembley e.g. for consumer durable industry-television,dvd,refrigerator are finished good means these product are not used in other products.

Raw material: Raw material is the part of Finished good.

e.g to manf. television set you need number of raw material like screw,cover,knob,etc.

Apart from their semifinished goods are also there e.g. picture tube when used in television.

At the conclusion FG is made with Bill of Material which contain raw material as well as semifinishe goods also.

You can config. all material type into T-code

I think it will help you.

Finished goods are those which are manufactured and ready to use example PEN, computers etc. are finished goods. FERT

Raw materials are those which are needed for manufacturing the fineshed goods

for Pen u require ink,plastic which has to be moulded to pen. HALB
