1-1 Define a New Material Type

1-1-1 You can influence the following with the material type:
- The procurement type
- The permitted views
- The value and quantity updates
- The account assignment
- The number assignment
- The field selection
The document category is used to characterize the attributes of purchasing documents –
purchase
requisition, request for quotation, purchase order, and so on.
You can define separate document types for each purchasing transaction document
category.
You can assign one number range for internal number assignment and another number range
for
external number assignment to each document type.
For contract types that are distributed in decentralized systems, you must define a number
range for
internal number assignment. The numbers of release orders in the local systems are not
unique in the
central system and therefore have to be assigned new keys.
For each number range, you configure the following:
The interval from which the number is assigned
Whether number assignment is internal or external
