1 PURPOSE

This work instruction describes the process for maintaining (creation, changes) in SAP for the following material types including samples:

• Produced Materials;
• Procured Materials;
• Capitalized Spares for Projects;
• Spares (Repairs and Consumables, MRO);
• Service Items, Manufacturer Part Numbers;
• Non Stock Material;
• Returnable Packaging items;
• Non valuated

Process Flow

Finished Goods/Intermediates creation (Material Type: ZPRO)

Finished Goods/Intermediates change (Material type: ZPRO)

Factory Goods creation (Procured Materials) (Material type: ZROH, ZHBE, ZUNW, ZLAG, ZHRS)

Factory Goods change (Procured Materials) (Material type: ZROH, ZHBE, ZUNW, ZLAG, ZHRS)

2 PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Requestor (can be from various functions, for example R&D, planning, etc.) initiates business request and submits it to the Plant Data Steward depending on:

• Area of responsibility (to be determined by the type of material to be set up)
• Plant

Process step by step:

1. Plant Data Steward and/or product steward submits a request to PSRA for MSDS (if required), HTS and ECCN codes.
2. Plant Data Steward submits a request to Data Management (providing a filled out Request Form) to set up a global view (at this time the material is also temporarily blocked until all local views have been created). We make sure that there are no duplicates already existing in the system, and if all required data has been provided, set up the Global view as requested. Then the DM ticket is closed and the Plant Data Steward receives a notification that the Global view is completed.
3. Plant Data Steward gathers all information required for the local views (using the Collection form).
4. Plant Data Steward populates all the collected data for the local views.
5. Plant Data Steward advises Manufacturing, QM, Procurement and Logistics that a new item has been created so they can set up additional data (BOMs, routings, inspection plans, QIR's, Source List, etc.)
6. Once all additional data is created, the Plant Data Steward advises Finance that a new item was created.
7. Finance runs Costing.
8. Plant Data Steward then releases the block.

Data Governance is responsible for material maintenance process and its changes.

3 PROCESS DESCRIPTION FOR DMO

3.1 New Material Code (no code presently in SAP)

3.1.1 Preliminary checks and request validation

• All requests to maintain (create, change) any material codes should come from and be approved by the appropriate Plant Data Stewards. Please check appendix 1 to validate requestor.
• Request form should be provided or approved by the plant data steward and attached to the request in Freshdesk ticketing system. Verify if all mandatory fields in the request form are filled out. In case if request form is missing mandatory data, put ticket on "waiting" status, return to the requestor and ask to take appropriate action.

3.1.2 Check for potential duplicates

Please refer to chapter 7.1
Validate/report/search

3.1.3 Create material - MM01

• Request for new material should mainly be received from Plant Data Stewards, in case if it comes from another person, an approval should be granted prior processing the request (please refer to the Plant Data Steward reference table in Appendix 1 – List of Plant Data Stewards for both Structural and Process Materials).
• Select transaction MM01
• Choose Industry Sector - Z CYTEC Industries
• Choose the appropriate material type (Cytec material types start with Z...)

• Select the appropriate views and press "Continue"

PLEASE NOTE! DM should only populate GLOBAL views – BASIC DATA 1, 2 and Classification
In case there is a need to populate PLANT views, please refer to the PLANT view instruction below.

• If GLOBAL views are selected, the System does not give a pop up window for indicating organization levels (PLANT/SALES ORG/WAREHOUSE etc.)

• If PLANT views are selected, the System will require to indicate organization levels (see below)

Basic Data 1 View:

After the description is entered press „Main Data" to return to the Basic Data 1 view

To Exit 'Units Of Measure tab' press „Main Data" and go to Classification tab. 

Classification is a cross application component in SAP that allows addition of attributes to master data objects and to hold that information to be used for reporting, searching, applying prices, print this information, etc.

Field	Description	Value	Example
Choose „Material Class" (001) and press "Enter":	It is possible to change Class Types by selecting the „Other Class Types" button It is possible to add Classes by pressing the „Multiple choice button"	Material Class (001)
	It is optional to add class that does not have any Characteristics under it.  SAP Class codes are highlighted in light grey color:	Copy from the form  Engineering: ZCYMC_ENGR_MAT ECCN: ZCYMC_ECCN_HTS Manufacturing: ZCYMC_MANF_MAT Procurement: ZCYMC_PROC_MAT Product management: ZCYMC_PRDM_MAT Shipping: ZCYMC_SHIP_MAT Process Materials: ZCYMC_PROCESS_MAT	For example:  1. Add class ZCYMC_ENGR_MAT and press enter.  1.1. Add Characteristics as per the form for the given class. 2. Add the next Class.  2.1. Add Characteristics as per the form for the given class. etc.
	Characteristic codes are highlighted in light grey color next to the Characteristic descriptions.	Copy from the form  Manufacturing: ZCYMC_MANF_MAT - field Sub Batch Config End Date. If populated, add the date when material has been created in format 29.09.2021. (day/month/year)
Choose „Batch" (023) and press "Enter"	It is possible to change Class Types by selecting the „Other Class Types" button It is possible to add Classes by pressing the „Multiple choice button" Batch class is mandatory for ZROH materials (except packaging) and ZPRO materials (including packaging).	Batch (023)

Save the material by pressing „Save" button

4 MASS UPDATE 

• Mass Maintenance of Material Master is performed when a common change needs to be made across a large number of materials
• Go to MM17
• Select „Fields" tab
• Search for the relevant Screen field name for the necessary field

• Select the relevant Description ( Screen field), press Execute

• Enter the material number(s), press Execute

• Enter the new value
• Press „Carry out mass change" button, press „Save"

• If changes have been carried out successfully, green Icon appears on the next Screen
• In case of any errors, the Icon will appear red and the user can validate the reason for the error by pressing „Details":

5 DEACTIVATE/ACTIVATE

• Plant data Steward submits request to GBS if deactivation/reactivation is GLOBAL by coordinating with Local data stewards from MFG, Logistics, QM and FI
• If deactivation/reactivation is LOCAL, it is done by the plant data steward (by coordinating with Local data stewards from MFG, Logistics, QM and FI)

For global deactivation change the following values of the Material:

• X-plant Matl Status = 10 (field found on Basic Data 1 view)
• Plant Sp Matl Status = 10 (field found on MRP 1 view and on Purchasing view)
• MRP Type = ND (field found on MRP 1 view)
• Flag for deletion in MM06 for all plants

For local deactivation change the following values of the Material:

• Plant Sp Matl Status = 10 (field found on MRP 1 view and on Purchasing view)
• MRP Type = ND for the requested plant(s) (field found on MRP 1 view)
• Flag for deletion in MM06 only for requested plant(s)

Deactivation in MM06:

• Go to MM06
• Enter the material number ( additionally specific plant/ Stor.location/ Sales org./ Distr. Channel/ Warehouse Nr can be selected), press „Enter"

• Select the material to be set for deletion flag
• In case of removing deletion flag, the user should uncheck the box next to the Material number, press „Save"

P.S. It is possible to deactivate/activate materials for specific Plant/ Stor.location/ Sales org./ Distr. Channel/ Warehouse Nr, that is usually performed by the Plant Data Steward

6 LIST OF MULTIPLE STORAGE LOCATIONS - MMSC

• In order to list multiple Storage locations to specific material/plant combination, indicate the material number, plant and select: „list extendable storage locations only", press – „Enter"

• The System gives already listed Storage Locations and user can add additional ones that are assigned to the plant, press „Save"

7 CREATING PLANT VIEWS / EXTENDING TO ANOTHER PLANT

The process of creating plant views and extending to another plant are very similar – both are performed using MM01 and the user has to select the Plant Views + Organizational levels!

• In MM01 enter the existing material number, Industry sector, Material type, press „Enter"
• Select Plant Views, press „Continue":

• Indicate the relevant Plant/Stor.Location/Sales org./Distr. Channel/Warehouse No.
• In case the material has to be extended to another plant – user should indicate the new plant number
• Press Execute
