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.
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 | Multiple |
ZPRC | Commercial Products | N/A |
ZVER | Packaging | WD |
ZUNB | Stocked and non-valuated materials | WD (for packaging) |
ZDIE | Services | Multiple |
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 |
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.
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.

Note! This process is applicable only for Technology Solutions
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

Go to Sinequa portal




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



Note! This process is applicable only for Technology Solutions
Hazcom team will send two notifications of changes in SDS before publishing the latest version of SDS in Sinequa.


NOTICE OF TRANSPORT CHANGE
At this point action from Data operations is required


The 3 possible scenarios are:
Requests can be received from:
No need to check Sinequa
Once the DG has been updated, check if the transportation group matches with the DG indicator. If it does not match, contact Frank Valendo (frank.valendo@solvay.com) to confirm the correct value, on the request provide:
Example of a case where it does not match:
Note! Transportation label should not be maintained, since this information is stored by the plant

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. 
After Stock is cleared material can be inactivated.
If material has to be inactivated for all plants and sales areas:
If material has to be inactivated for specific plants or sales areas:
Note! ZPRC (Material group 0450) inactivation needs to be performed by Danyse Ryan (Technology Solutions) and Lisa Wohnlich (Composite Materials) after all the ZMATs are inactivated.
For Technology Solutions, please request the inactivation via EDA Freshdesk portal (Appendix – Request to EDA (Technology Solutions)
Any ZPRC (Material group 0450) modification/update should be performed by Enteprise Data Administratos for each GBU.
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:


1. ASPEN Class - A, B, or C value

2. DP_ADPEN_NO_PRODPLAN - X do not send or no value

3. DP_ASPEN_NO_REQUIREMENTS

People who would be submitting DG indicator changes for TS materials:
Requests can be received to extend material which belongs to Novecare GBU to Technology Solutions plant or sales unit, in such cases request has to be forwarded to appropriate Novecare Contact:
Whenever a material is extended to any of non-GTS plants, extension has to be added in a file to notify the responsible team. Location of the file.

In order to request to EDA team (Danyse Ryan/Jane Sims) plant/sales organization/purchasing organization/delivery plant links or any subject related to ZPRC (Material group 0450), please follow the steps described below:



Check for Active/Inactive PIR (ME1M)



Check for open Purchase Orders (ME2N)
Open PO’s can be located using transaction ME2L. ME2N can also be used.
Scope of List: determines that system will search for all PO’s for this supplier;
Selection Parameters: narrows the search down for PO’s with open invoices.


Check for open Sales Orders
