1 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

1.1. Objective of this Procedure

This document is a complement to Standard Operating Procedure "Article Creation and Management", adapting the process to ZPRC, ZMAT, ZVER and ZUNB Material master data management for GBU Technology Solutions and Composite Materials (Legacy Cytec organization).

Material Master Data management process includes creation and modification of the material as well as its inactivation and flagging for deletion. Creation of Basic Data, Classification, Sales, Foreign Trade, Purchasing, General Plant Storage, Warehouse Management and Label Data Views will be presented in this procedure. Management of MRP, Work Scheduling, Quality Management, Accounting and Costing Views is being performed by Process Teams. Accounting and Costing views are created by Riga SBS Data Management when extending materials to Trading Plants. For Sample codes Riga SBS Data Management is creating all necessary views.

Requests of Technology Solutions Material Master creation or maintenance can be performed by approved requestors listed in Attachment 3 – List of approved requestors. Requests for Composite Materials can be accepted only via Sharepoint.

All requests are sent to Riga Data Operations team Data via Freshdesk or alternatively by e-mail. Common e-mail address of Riga Data Operations team: datamanage@solvay.com

Request form for Technology Solutions Materials is stored on Google Drive.

The referral lists mentioned in this procedure, such as Material Groups, Purchasing Groups and Profit Center List are embedded in the TS SAP Material request form file.

This document's objective is to provide a guide to managing Material master data for ZMAT materials.

1.2. Scope

Under Riga Data Operations's scope is the management of ZMAT, ZVER and ZUNB materials for GBU Technology Solutions and Composite Materials (legacy Cytec) sites in WP1 SAP system. Management of ZERS materials is described in a separate procedure. Riga Data Operations can create and extend ZDIE materials if requested so by Finance.

Material Type	Description	Division
ZMAT	Finished Goods Semi-finished Goods Raw Materials	Multiple Multiple KV
ZPRC	Commercial Products	N/A
ZVER	Packaging	WD
ZUNB	Stocked and non-valuated materials	WD (for packaging)
ZDIE	Services	Multiple

1.3. Abbreviations

Abbr.	Description	Abbr.	Description
RCS	Rhodia Core System	SBS	Solvay Business Services
ZMAT	Finished product, semi-finished product, raw material	HSE	Health, Safety and Environment
ZVER	Packaging	DG	Dangerous goods
ZUNB	Stocked and not valuated material	MRP	Material Resource Planning
ZDIE	Service	UoM	Unit of Measure
ZPRC	Commercial Product	MSDS	Material Safety Data Sheet

1.4. Roles and responsibilities

ZMAT setup can be performed only once both ZPRC code and MSDS are available.
Prior to submitting a new ZMAT request, it is the requester´s responsibility to ensure the material does not exist in SAP already, so no duplicates are created in the system. If the material was not found, the Material form must be filled and submitted to Data Operations for material master setup in SAP. A second search in the system is performed by the Data Operations team to ensure no duplicates are created.

2 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

2.1. Creation of material in RCS

2.1.1. Pre-requisites

ZMAT setup can be performed only once both ZPRC code and MSDS are available. Prior to material creation in the system search is performed by the Data Operations team to ensure no duplicates are created.

2.1.7. Creation of Stocked and non-valuated materials (ZUNB) - Technology Solutions

These are request to create a on valuated version of an existing ZMAT item. For example, where the business has sold the inventory to a customer but the material remains at a Solvay site and require shipment from our plants under a new code.

Example 2033702 CYTOP 340 COVESTRO 330KG 727LB CYL UN correspondent ZMAT code 143561 CYTOP 340 330KG 727LB CYL UN

Requests can be accepted only from Product Managers that corresponds to the Division from the ZMAT.

2.2.4. DG indicator update

The requests are submitted by David Baker or Tery Mccoll.
Please follow the steps bellow when the DG indicator profile needs to be updated from ZIP to GPP or Z00 to GPP.

Note! Even if you are updating from ZIP to Z00, confirm in Sinequa Portal (MSDS) if indeed the material is non-hazard.

Example:

Material 162898 AERO 830 182KG 401LB OHSD

To determine the ZPRC number go to MM03 transaction (Material display)
On Basic 2 view copy the Basic material#

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2020-2-12_13-30-18.png

Go to Sinequa portal

Copy the Basic Material number in the search field 90072916 + "SDS"
Click on SDS - North America

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2020-2-12_13-31-44.png

Look for USA version → In English (Z8)

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2020-2-12_13-34-37.png

For Hazard material only, in section 14 (Transport information) - DOT check the amount of labels and if the material is marine pollutant

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2020-2-12_13-36-59.png

For this example, the amount of labels are 2 (Label 9 and Marine pollutant) and based on the packaging type, the following information should be added in the label view.

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2019-11-1_15-12-21.png

Go to MM02 transaction (Change material) in Basic Data 2 view:

Update the DG indicator profile to GPP (Hazard) or Z00 (non hazard)

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2020-2-12_13-42-19.png

On Sales: general/plant view check if the Transportation Group corresponds to the packaging type + DG Indicator combination. If not, proceed with the update:

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2020-2-12_13-44-18.png

Go to Label view, add the transportation line for the hazard materials

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2019-11-1_15-12-27.png

2.3. Material inactivation

Note! The request must come from the Product Manager, if not, request the necessary approval.

Before inactivation material should be checked for open items under "Stock overview"

If there are no open activities, Stock will show only "0". If any other values displayed, appropriate Product Manager should be contacted for Stock removal.
Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2019-11-1_15-13-7.png

After Stock is cleared material can be inactivated.
If material has to be inactivated for all plants and sales areas:

Set X-plant matl status (Basic data 1 view) to Z0
Set X-distr.chain status (Sales: sales org. 1 view) to 61
Set Plant-sp.matl status (MRP1 view) to Z0 for each plant (field is available also in Purchasing, Quality Management and Costing views)
Set MRP Type (MRP1 view) to ND for each plant that has to be blocked
Change Description adding *OBS* before name in all languages
Activate Deletion Flag in MM06

If material has to be inactivated for specific plants or sales areas:

Set DChain-spec. status (Sales: sales org. 1 view) to 61 to block material for one particular Sales Area
Set Plant-sp.matl status (MRP1 view) to Z0 for each plant that has to be blocked (field is available also in Purchasing, Quality Management and Costing views)
Set MRP Type (MRP1 view) to ND for each plant that has to be blocked

Inactivation of ZPRC material can be performed only if all ZMAT materials linked to it are inactive:

Change Description adding *OBS* before name in all languages

2.4. ZPRC record update

There are cases when product name has been changed and ZPRC record should be updated to reflect correct information.
Requests from HazCom team can also be received to update ZPRC name in ZH language, for such cases Chinese material names can be checked in table which can be found in Appendix 5.

Data Operations > SAP WP1 ZMAT Material Master Maintenance > image2019-11-1_15-14-4.png

#	Main activities	Tips / Best practices	Key points
1	Enter transaction MM02
2	Update all available languages	NOTE: If ZPRC record name is updated all linked materials should be updated as well.	Linked materials can be found in SQ00 query GDA, table DB_MAT_SPRAS
3	Update ZH description	Correctness of ZH language information can be checked in Appendix 5
4	Check Basic data Text	If material description is too long it can be fully maintained in Basic Data Text view

2.5. Material classification for Technology Solutions plant 8373 - ASPEN INTERFACE

A new material class (Z_DP_ASPEN_8373) has been created to support the Aspen Tech demand planning tool. Only planners at Welland plant 8373 can request this change in the Classification view.
This new class should only be used for items at Welland,plant 8373. If we decide to use this class for additional plants we will create new classes.

Approved planners:
