Material Master Data
  • An advantage of the SAP system is that it
    maintains one set of data in real time. Material
    data is used by many functional areas. In the
    SAP system, there is one set of related data for
    each material. With non-integrated systems, each
    system may contain material data, and this data
    is not always consistent. In the SAP system, the
    data is consistently correct or incorrect.
  • Material Master data is organized by Views.
    Depending on the type of material, only certain
    views need to be used. As the system is
    configured, additional views can be added as
    necessary.
  • Many Material Master views are plant-specific

Material Master Configuration
  • Material Master Configuration allows a company to
    customize the complicated Material Master to make
    it easier for users to use correctly
  • Using Material Master Configuration, users can
  • Control screen sequences and fields
  • Control access to screens/views
  • Preset organizational level and industry sector

7
Industry Sector
  • Industry Sector determines what industry-specific
    data appears in the material master record
  • Pre-defined industry sectors include
  • Aerospace and Defense
  • Chemical Industry
  • Food and Related Products
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Plant Engineering/Construction
  • Retail
  • Retailing
  • Service Provider

8
Material Types
  • A Material Type is used to classify materials
  • Defines material attributes like
  • Valuation (value of material as market changes)
  • Procurement (internal, external or both)
  • Controls screen sequence and number assignment
  • Can restrict access using authorization groups
  • A number of material types are pre-defined
  • Abbreviations are abbreviations of German terms
  • Users can create their own material types
  • Usually best to copy a pre-defined type, then
    modify

9
Material Types - Quizzable
  • ROH Raw material
  • Externally purchased only, no sales view
  • Oats, Wheat Germ, Honey, Cinnamon, etc.
  • HALB Semifinished Product
  • No purchase or sales view
  • Dough for NRG-A and NRG-B bars
  • FERT Finished Product
  • Produced internally, has sales views, no
    purchasing views
  • NRG-A and NRG-B bars

10
Material Types Non-quizzable
  • HAWA Trading Goods
  • HIBE Operating Supplies
  • VERP Customer returnable packaging
  • LEER Empty containers
  • KMAT Configurable material
  • ERSA Spare parts
  • DIEN Services
  • NLAG Non-stock, non-valuated material
  • UNBW Non-valuated, stocked material
  • FHMI Production resources/tools
  • WETT Competitive products
  • PROD Product group
  • IBAU Maintenance assembly

11
Material Status and Field Selection
  • In addition to Industry Sector and Material Type,
    Material Masters can be customized using
  • Material Status Controls use of material
  • Define whether certain functions are allowed for
    a material (e.g. create BOM for material) and
    whether warning messages are issued
  • Field Selection Suppress, Display, Optional or
    Required
  • Like Field Status in G/L Accounts

12
Material Master Configuration
13
Material Group
  • Material groups are another tool to allow users
    to control the selection of materials
  • Limit analyses to certain material groups
  • Control searches in a simpler fashion than
    classification

14
Units of Measure
  • A base unit of measure must be identified for
    each material master
  • Basically a label
  • All data entered in Material Master (weight,
    cost, etc.) is related to the base unit of
    measure
  • Many standard units of measure are already
    defined in the SAP R/3 system
  • Alternate units of measure can be defined for
    different uses with the appropriate conversion
    factor
  • Base unit of measure should be smallest unit of
    measure used anywhere in the system

Documentation in Material Master
  • The SAP R/3 system documents all changes to the
    material master

Purchasing Info Record
  • Provides continuously updated information about
    the relationship of a specific material with a
    specific vendor
  • Provides default information for purchase orders

Material
Vendor
Purchasing Info Record
20
Purchasing Info Record
  • Contains
  • Current price and delivery costs for purchasing
    organization or plant
  • Number of last purchase order
  • Purchase order price history
  • Tolerance limits for over/under deliveries
  • Planned delivery time for material
  • Vendor evaluation data

21
Purchasing Info Record
  • Purchasing info records can be created directly,
    as we will do in this class, or can be created
    automatically when a purchasing document (e.g.
    purchase order) is created or changed.
  • The Purchasing Info Record can be updated
    automatically from purchase order data if the
    Info Update indicator is set in the purchase
    order.
  • Conditions is the SAP term for pricing in
    purchasing, which can include discounts, freight
    costs, surcharges, etc.
