hi,
what is the good system/logic of material codification? i mean how can i give a usefull code to material like spares, raw material?
any link where can i find material coding system for sap?
thanks and regards
Hi Buddy,
As said in earlier post before the coding logic can used either internal or external
1> Internal is normally used for raw materils or material which r been used internally in organization
2> external is used for finished products which are to be saleable
Eg: For Electronic manufacturing firm of
Can have internal number range for IC's , PCB's , Speakers etc procured for production of the finished products.
Were as the Material code for this Finished product shouldbe used as External so that nomenculture can be alloted for every specific Catergory of product ie lets consider this firm produces TV , Music System etc
So for TV the external code can be :
TVCRT211000W
which states as:
TV : Television
CRT : Type of Display section ie Cathode ray tube
21 : 21 inch sizing
1000W : Sound output
TVLCD42450W
which states as:
TV : Television
CRT : Type of Display section LCD
42 : 42 inch sizing
450W : Sound output
and so on
Hope so this was usefull to u .
Thanks

Hi,
There are already a number of material types available in SAP as standard. I have given a list in another post of yours.
SAP standard codification suggests it be a number. The field length is 18 and will take alphanumeric characters, so you can decide to use a combination of numbers and alphabets also.
The simplest to do is use an 8-10 length number; so you can create number ranges like:
000000001000000000 to 000000001999999999 and assign the Finished material group to this interval. You can assign multiple material types to the same group.
However the number will only identify that this is a finished goods, nothing more than that. You can work out a codification structure using an external number range, but this is more difficult to maintian and manage.
Cheers....
