OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE


Objective of this Procedure

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.

Scope

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.

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 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.


STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION


Creation of Material in RCS

Pre-requisites

Prior to material creation in the system search is performed by the Data Operations team to ensure no duplicates are created.


  • Use the transaction MM03 to access display material view.

  • Press multiple choice button to receive pop-up window with search options for material master.
  • Click on  to open the menu.
  • Select the option 'Material Number/Material Description' and/or 'Materials by Commercial Product (PRCOM)'.

  • Run a search in Material Description.
  • Use Wildcards to best describe.
  • Open the material request form, copy the short text from the requested material and run a search in Material description with wildcards.
  • Hit Enter.

  • Verify entries found – compare results with the material's "short description" mentioned in the request form. If you have doubts about the material already created, contact the Requester to clarify.
  • If result points to  or if the Requester mentions a new article needs to be created then proceed with the creation.

Creation of ZMAT - Raw Material

Raw Material setup can be performed only once MOC-ID and ZPRC available.
In all cases when MOC-ID is missing Lindsay Schramm and HazCom team should be contacted to clarify whether raw material code can be set up without this information.
Prior to material creation in the system search is performed by the Data Management team to ensure no duplicates are created.

Important! Verify the question "Is it a raw material or re-sale?" in the Data Operations checklist:

  • 0451 should be used for Raw materials (production raw materials) or re-sale when relabeling is happening at Solvay location.
    • MOC required
    • ZPRC required – PRCO 900XX
  • 0450 when supplier relabels the raw material at their own location. Solvay SDS and label will be send to supplier and attached to the material.
    • MOC required (all the regulatory information on the supplier)
    • Manual PRODCOM (Real SUB E 500XX) without link with logistics).
    • Should be linked to the proper business unit
