create inquiry without material being created

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Issue is regarding creation of inquiry, when material not being created.

Requirement is like at inquiry level customer may / may not know the material available, initially customer may not be aware of the products available but they want to buy that material.

Whereas in SAP, material has to be entered which is created in material master.

Is there any soln for the creation of inquiry / quotation (same case with Quotation too) with out material being created.

Hi

You can use below solution:

Create one material called X in SAP. Now you define this material with CMIR records (Customer Material Info Records) so that when the order is created, the customer will put the customer number of material which can be anything. You can map this to only one material in SAP and customer material number will define the description of the material customer enquired.

Hope this helps. Reward if u like the idea.

Kind regards

Dear Sandeep,

I/p was valid, but still not very clear about it.

Suppose the customer send the RFQ (request for quotation) with their part no. where in that particular material is not produced.

However, once the RFQ is received company is confident enough to start produce that particular material for the first time.

So how to map this ie., customer part no. is known, where as company doesn't have the material as of now, once the material is produced it will have its own part no.

How to send a quotation with out company's part no. is the issue.

I/p's will be rewarded.

Regrds,
