The period closing program terminates if the permitted number of incorrect material records is
exceeded.
The standard document type for engineering/design drawings is used if the document administration
is active.
The updating of administrative data on a material at the time of data transfer can be carried out
asynchronously. It can be compiled retrospectively; you will find the function under Tools.
You can activate special individual processes for reference materials using an indicator.
About maintaining company codes for Materials Management:
You can also initialize a company code with the period closing program. You define the current
posting period and the fiscal year for the material master records (accounting data) during
initialization.

A material type is specified for each material. The material type is part of the general data on a
material.
The user departments defined for a material type decide which views can be maintained for a material
belonging to this material type, thus determining which applications are able to use the material.
The type of inventory management (quantity-based and/or value-based) can be determined for a
material type on a valuation area-specific basis.
The material type controls essential processes in individual applications. For example, in Customizing
for PP, you define the specific material types that are included in or excluded from the creation of
BOMs and routings in your company, depending on the usage.
The type of price control can be defined as an optional or mandatory default value.
Valuation classes are used to assign stock and consumption accounts. The account category reference is
used to assign the permitted valuation classes for each material type.
You can identify inconsistencies in the valuation areas in the Customizing facility for the material type.
You can specify which material types are maintained using special creation transactions.
Individual flags such as material type ID and time until deletion are only used in SAP-Retail.

The groups of material numbers are defined independently of the company code or fiscal year.
First you must maintain the groups. Then the material types are assigned to the groups.
You can assign an interval to one group only.
You can change the number level of a interval manually.

As a rule, you use a reference key to specify which control string is valid for the relevant influencing
factor.
You can maintain the reference key for the material type, the plant and the industry sector in the
configuration menu.
Each item in a control string of this type determines the field selection for a group of material master
record fields. Using the configuration menu, you can establish the group to which the individual fields

Logical screens
A logical screen is a screen that you can select in the view selection dialog box. Each logical screen is
assigned to a screen container. A logical screen is made up of several screen modules (subscreens).
Screen modules (Subscreens)
As a rule, screen modules correspond to the individual frames of a logical screen. They represent the
program screens processed in the material master dialog.

When structuring your own logical screens, you should use the existing standard screen modules.
You need to use your own screen modules if you require different field groups or new fields.
To create your own screen modules, copy standard program SAPLMGD1 to a function group of your
own (you will find instructions for this in the IMG). Then create the required screen modules in the new
function group.
Append structures are provided in DDIC for integrating your own fields.
You can only integrate fields in program SAPLMGMM from user-specific tables and user-specific
container screens using a modification.
You must use the IMG to structure your own material master dialogs.
