Hi Kiki

Implication of material typpe change. First of all you can change if the stock is nil.

1) If you have maintained different storage location for different material type. The location will change.

2) Further The valuation for each material type is different.

we have to change accordingly.

3) Screen group selection is based on the material type, this will change.

4) Procurement type will be based on the material type.

5) Material group is based on material type.

6) Even base unit will be different for different material type. in some industries for Ex FERT and HALB will be in PC, EA etc., and ROH will be in Kgs.

Hope this will clear your doubt.
