Hi ,

As already friends are explained about the customer material info record, I giving add on to the same.

CUSTOMER MATERIAL INFORMATION RECORDS

It is information on a material for a specific customer. It has the highest priority when copying the data.

To create CMIR the TC: VD51

Here we can also maintain or newly assign

1. Delivery priority

2. Shipping conditions

3. Delivering plant

4. Minimum order quantity.

To read the customer material info records, the READ FROM INFO, must be flagged in the sales document header.

Thanks

Dear Devireddy

Mostly this Customer Material Info Record will be used in case of export customers, where countries like France, UK, Germany, customer will insist for their part code in all export documents like Invoice, Packing List, Generalised System Preference (GSP) etc.

In this case, you have to use VD51 to store customer material code in relation to manufacturers' part code.

thanks

Dear Devi,

Customer Material Information

Purpose

Data on a material defined for one specific customer is stored in the customer material information records. This data includes

the customer-specific material number

the customer-specific material description

customer-specific data on deliveries and delivery tolerances

If, for example, one of your customers uses a number for a material, which differs from the number your company uses to identify it, you can store the material number used by the customer in the customer material information record.

Features

During order entry, items can be entered by specifying the material number used by the customer. You also enter a customer material number in the order view of the sales order. You can then use both material numbers during the order entry, the material number your company uses or the one defined by the customer, because the system can carry out allocation automatically.

Data on the delivery and the individual delivery tolerances agreed upon with the customer for the material in question can also be checked and transferred to the sales order item.

You can also store a text in the customer material information record. It is copied to the relevant SD document items during text determination. In Customizing, the text type Customer Material Text is provided for this.

I hope it will help you,

Regards,

Hi,

If a customer manages a material with a number that differs from the one your company uses, a customer-material information record is created.

Customer Material is the material number used in customer system. Material Number is your material number.

For example you supply your customer CUST1 a material MAT1. Your customer has different name CUST_MAT1 in his system. So, it would give you the relationship between customer material and your material.
