  2. Materials(Introduction) • In general, we buy materials and services from vendors • And we sell (some of) them to customers

  3. Materials (Introduction) • Remember that vendor records have company (FI) and (MM) segments – Materials have many segments too • Roughly speaking, these segments are called views • Some views are plant-specific. Others are not • Views across functional systems are consistent (FI) (MM) (PP)

  4.

  8. Material Master (Organizational Units) • A material belongs to an industry sector • Industry sectors have control functions (screen sequence and field selection) • The industry sector cannot be changed after the material has been created • SAP predefines selected industry sectors • Plant / Chemical / Mechanical engineering / Pharmaceutical / Retail / service provider

  9. Material Master (Organizational Units) • A material has a type which controls • How the materials is procured (internal, external, both) • Valuation • Material types have control functions too • Whether the materials is configurable (able to assign a variant class • Material number assignment (internal / external) • Create custom types from existing types • Procurement (internal / external)

  15. Units of Measure (1) • 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

  16. Units of Measure (2) • Alternate units of measure can be defined for different uses with the appropriate conversion factor • (order unit ) • Base unit of measure should be smallestunit of measure used anywhere in the system
