Modules are usually abbreviated for the business process they represent. All together there are some nineteen core modules.
These modules are highly integrated in real-time, which means, that if information is shared between modules then the data is entered only once. This reduces the chances of error arising from repetitive entry and also reduces the man-hours. It can be a car, a car part, gasoline, transportation service or consulting service, for example.
InInIn All the information for all materials on their potential use and characteristics in SAP are called material master. That is why it's crucial to have a precise and well maintained material master. In order to be confident in your actions you need to understand material master views and its implications on processes in other modules, business transactions and a few more helpful information like tables that store material master data, transactions for mass material maintenance for changing certain characteristics for a large number of materials at once.
Material types In SAP ERP, every material has a characteristic called "material type" which is used throughout the system for various purposes. Why is it essential to differentiate between material types and what does that characteristic represent? These are some of the predefined SAP material types among others like food, beverages, service and many others. Most used material types in standard SAP installation What can be configured on material type level possible differences between types?
Material master views: It defines the views associated with a Material Type. For example, if we have a material type "FERT" assigned to our material Product — we don't want to have Purchasing based views for that material because we don't need to purchase our own product — it is configured on material type level. Default price control: we can set this control to standard or moving average price covered later in detail , but this can be changed in material master to override the default settings.
Default Item category group: used to determine item category in sales documents. It can be changed in material master to override the default settings. Offered material types in MM01 transaction So material type is assigned to materials that have the same basic settings for material master views, price control, item category group and few other. Material Type can be assigned during the creation of the material in t-code MM01 covered in detail later Where can we find a complete list of materials with their respective material type?
There are numerous transactions for this. The raw data itself is stored in MARA table you can view table contents with t-code SE16 or SE16N — newest version of the transaction , but in some systems these t-codes aren't allowed for a standard user.
In such cases, we can easily acquire the list with t-code MM60 Material list. MM60 is used particularly often as it displays a lot of basic material characteristics. MM60 report results with the export button highlighted Using the toolbar button highlighted on screen, we can export the list of materials we have selected on screen.
Which criteria can be used to create material groups? Any criteria that suit your needs for reporting purposes is right for your system. You may group materials by the type of raw material used to produce it different kinds of plastics used in the production process , or you can divide all services into consulting services with different materials for SAP consulting, IT consulting, financial consulting etc , transportation services internal transport, international transport , you can also group by production technique materials created by welding, materials created by extrusion, materials created by injection etc.
Grouping depends mainly on the approach your management chooses as appropriate, and it's mainly done during the implementation, rarely changes in a productive environment. On the other hand, material group is mainly used in PP and MM module.
If you need to display material groups for multiple materials, you can use already mentioned t-code MM You just need to select more materials in selection criteria. Material group in report MM60 Material group is easily subject to mass maintenance via transaction MM More on that in the material master editing section. Every material is created in the either of these two ways: 1.
By calling transaction MM01 mostly used in a productive environment 2. Mass creation mainly used only once on transition of materials from the previous system into SAP ERP We will focus now on transaction MM01, and leave the mass creation for later since it is an advanced tool.
We will discuss it after you have enough knowledge about material master views and organizational levels. Step 1 Transaction that is used for the creation of material master record, as stated above is MM The execution of the transaction brings us to the initial screen, which consists of few fields that contain the basic information on our material.
Enter Industry sector mostly used: M-Mechanical engineering 2. These settings are supposed to be done by MM consultant in customizing during the implementation. Step 2 We can choose which master data to create. We can click on Select View s to choose which views we need to create for the material.
Select Basic Data 1 3. Select Sales Org Data 1.
