This document's objective is to provide a guide to ZPRC, ZMAT (manufactured and raw material), ZVER, ZERS, ZUNB material master data management for GBU Technology Solutions.
Material Master Data management process includes creation and modification of the material, its inactivation and flagging for deletion, and reactivation if needed, as well as mass modification.
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 Data Operations when extending materials to Trading Plants. For Sample codes Data Operations is creating all necessary views.
Under Riga Data Operations scope is the management of ZPRC, ZMAT (raw and manufactured), ZVER, ZERS, ZBOM, ZUNB and PIR Material master data management for GBU Composite Materials (Legacy Cytec organization). Riga Data Operations can create and extend ZDIE materials if requested so by Finance.
Material Type | Description | Division |
|---|---|---|
ZPRC | Commercial Products | N/A |
ZMAT | Finished Goods | Multiple |
ZVER | Packaging | WD |
ZUNB | Stocked and non-valuated materials | WD (for packaging) |
ZDIE | Services | Multiple |
ZERS | Industrial supplies | |
| PIR | Purchase Info Record |
Abbr. | Description | Abbr. | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
RCS | Rhodia Core System | SBS | Solvay Business Services |
ZDIE | Service | UoM | Unit of Measure |
ZMAT | Finished product, semi-finished product, raw material | HSE | Health, Safety and Environment |
ZPRC | Commercial Product | MSDS | Material Safety Data Sheet |
ZUNB | Stocked and not valuated material | MRP | Material Resource Planning |
ZVER | Packaging | DG | Dangerous goods |
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 TS SAP Material request 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 Management team to ensure no duplicates are created.
Prior to material creation in the system search is performed by the Data Operations team to ensure no duplicates are created.

These are request to create a non 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.

Pre-requisites
Before starting the extension in MDG, contact Danyse Ryan and Jane Sims to check if the STO link is created between the delivering plant and the receiving plant and the Intercompany Sales Organization.
As soon as extension of a material to a plant in another (second) Company Code is requested, material is also to be extended to Intercompany Distribution Channel of the Sales Organization of the shipping Plant for Intercompany movements.
In the e-mail/ticket provide the information below:
The TS Material extension form should be filled with the required information.
Check the delivering plant/shipping from (Where the material is coming from) in MM03 if the material is already extended to multiple plants, the material should be already extended to the correct Sales Org. (Intercompany).


If the TS plant is not maintained in MDG, the steps below should be follow:
