1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Objectives and scope of this procedure


This OP explains how to create a purchased material for Chemicals and Plastics sectors in ERP PF2/050 and PF2/020 , for the following material types:

  • Z730-Z731-Z732-Z733

 


2. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

2.1. Definition

A material is a physical or logical object or a service that can be bought, sold and/or used in manufacturing or sales processes.

The material type defines the broad family of materials and its technical characteristics in the SAP system. In our organization, it also determines how, who and where the material records are maintained. 

2.2. Material Type

  • Z730 (generic material regarding raw materials and chemical products, finished products excepted)
  • Z731 (generic material regarding technical goods)
  • Z732 (generic material regarding services)
  • Z733 (generic material regarding packaging and accessories)

2.3. Validation

A new Generic material has to be validated with Sylvie Severini, even if the reason is a new unit of measure to be applied.

2.4. Material Structure

The generic material master records are composed by the following views, managed according to the same rules as described materials:

  • Basic data 1 and 2
  • Classification (optional)
  • Purchasing, foreign trade import (optional) and purchase order text
  • Accounting views1 and 2
  • MRP1 view (optional, for purchase requisition release).
  • industry sector: C
  • New material creation – External counter (9 position numbering starting with M-MG* (GOODS), OR M-PG* (Services)) NSE16 – MARA – Z730 …. Z731…
  • Numbering not sequential: 10 in 10
  • The working rule for generic products is => one product = 1 material group.
  • The working rule for generic products is => one product = one base unit of measure ( units of measure if you want another BASE unit of measure )
  • ATTENTION – M-MG (Goods)

  • ATTENTION – M-PG (Services)
