Material Master: Material Type configuration

SAP version used for this post: SAP ECC (ERP Central Component) 5.0
When creating a material, you need to specify the material type.

The Material type is the highest level of categorization of material
masters.
Material Types defined in configuration and belo is a summary of
main areas that material type influence:
!umber range of material master and if it is internal "system
allocated# or e$ternal "user allocate number#
Which fields in material are mandatory % read only % optional
&ser departments "'ies in material#
Purchase (rders alloed
'alid valuation classes
)uantity and 'alue update "does it update stoc* +ty and value#
,s it a pipeline material or not
.... and many more
Standard SAP Material Types include:
A-. / Waste
0122 / 01 0ontract 1andling
0(!T / 3anban 0ontainer
0(&P / 0oupons
4,5! / Service

'56P / Pac*aging
'31M / Additionals

W5TT / 0ompetitor products
The main configuration of material type is in transaction (MS:
,M7: Logistics > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Type >
e!ine Attri"#tes "(MS:#

Some settings can be done per plant
This information resides in:
T9;< / Material Type

.or number range configuration, the transaction is:
,M7: Logistics > Material Master > Basic Settings > Material Type >
e!ine $#m"er range "MM!6#

.irst create a 7roup

Then lin* the material type to it

This is the main settings of material type. ,n later articles, e ill
address other configuration that can be be done per material type.

Split 'aluation
T%is notes relates to SAP ECC (ERP Central Component) 5.0
Without split valuation, materials are valued at plant level.
With split valuation, the same material number at a plant can have
different stoc* +uantity and value for different groupings "called
valuation types#.
The valuation types are set up in configuration could be for e$ample:
ne, old or
7-, &S, A&, ... "indicating countries for e$ample#
red, blue, blac*, etc.... "indicating colors for e$ample#
The valuation typs are grouped together in a valuation category
So for e$ample, the above valuation types could be grouped by age,
country, color.
A material is activated by entering the valuation type in the accounting
vie of the material master.
IMPORTANT: ,t is possible to change a valuation category if no stoc*
and P( ere created. 1oever, once a 'aluation category is assigned
// it can not be un/assigned "ma*e blan* again#. So it is not something
that get changed at ill. ,t needs to be decided on creation of
material.

"P6#, Purchase (rders "P(#, 6.)As, (utline Agreements and Service
5ntry Sheets. The principle is e$actly the same for all. ,f you can
master one, you ill *no them all.
8ets set up release procedures for P6 for the folloing e$ample:
(ur company have got : plants: Plant ;922 "8ondon# and plant ;C22
"!e Dor*#.
.or !e Dor* "plant ;922#, if P6 item value is beteen 2 / 9222

.or 8ondon "plant ;C22#, if P6 item value is bigger than 9222
dollars, then P6 needs to be released by to people "first by
person A, then person 0#.

3ey terminology:
Release Co,es 2 The different levels that the approval ill go
through.
Release Groups 2 7rouping of strategies.
Release Strateg% 2 &ni+ue, set of condition, se+uence and
levels of releases. 5very line in diagram is a Strategy "so e

Create C/aracteristics 3 lin) to co--unication structure
4CE5AN or PR6
1ere e define hich fields are used to determine the strategy that
ill *ic* in. ,n our case e used APlantA and A,tem valueA. !ot all fields
in the P6 can be used. .or a full list of fields that can be used to
determine the release startegy, see tcode se9: table 05-A!.



So the to fields that ill be used is:
.ield 05-A!/W563S for Plant
.ield 05-A!/7SW6T for Item Value
We need to create a characteristic for every field. tcode ct2<
Any characteristic name can be used. 3eep something descriptive to
avoid confusion.
.or ,tem 'alue // lets create characteristic FG7SW6T

.irst go to A''itional ata tab and enter the table%field "and 5nter#

5nter currency to be used in the Basic 'ata tab.
Also select m#ltiple (al#es and )nter(als allo*e'
The ,ntervals alloed ill allo us to assign a range of values,
e$ample: ,f P6 value is 2 / 9222 &S4 .....
Save the characteristic
.or Plant // characteristic FGW563S
Again, the table%field name in Additional 4ata to enter table%field

Again set multiple values and save the characteristic
The multiple values is to assign more than one plant to strategy,
e$ample: ,f P6 for plant ;922 an, plant ;C22 is ...
Create Class 3 lin) to c/aracteristic
0reate a class "simply to group the characteristics#. Again any name
can be used. Tcode 0829 // 0reate 0lass. The 0lass Type must be
2;:.

Conigure Release Proce,ures
Above actions as all master data. We no need to do some
configuration. Menu: )M+ > Materials Management > P#rc%asing >
P#rc%ase Re,#isition > Release Proce'#re > Proce'#re *it%
classi!ication > Set #p proce'#re // "tcode (M7) in older SAP
versions#

Create Release Groups 3 lin) to class
We have to groups to create AA and A-. We need to indicate the
class e are or*ing ith, in out case FGP6.

Create Release Co,es
0reate all the release code % group combinations. This is all the dots in
diagram above. So e have <.

8ater on, authorisation profiles ill be lin*ed to these code % group
combinations.
Release In,icator
.irst e create the different statusses that the P6 can be in throughout
it lifecycle. 8ater on "belo#, e ill be lin*ing using these statusses.
1ere is the standard SAP indicators, ou probably ouldnAt need to
add any.

We ill be using to of these // H "-loc*# and : "6eleased#


&nder the 4etails section, you can indicate hich documents can be
created from this P6. .or ,ndicator :, one can create P(As and 6.)As.
With -iel' Selection you can define hich fields can be changed. This is
the same indicator that gets used ith document type configuration to
ma*e some fields read only, mandatory, hidden.
Set up strategies 2 Strateg% 3 Co,es
5very line in our diagram above is a strategy. So We have three
8ets call them:
7roup AA % Startegy S9 // 0ode 89 "for plant 2229#
7roup AA % Startegy S: // 0ode 89 E 8: "for plant 2229#
7roup AA % Startegy S: // 0ode 89 E 8: "for plant 222:#

1ere are the settings for AA % S:

Set up strategies 2 Prere1uisites
.or every strategy, e need to define a release prere+uisites. This
indicate if one code need to ta*e place before the other. ,n this case,
level : "8:# can only ta*e place if level 9 "89# has been released.

Set up strategies 2 Status
This is also done for every strategy. The screen is dependant on hat
groups ere lin*ed to the strategy as ell as prere+uisites that as set
up. ,n this e$ample:
/ if nobody release it then P6 is bloc*.
/ if 89 release the P6, the P6 is still bloc*ed
/ if 89 and 8: release the P6, the P6 can be converted to 6.)%P(
(ut of interest, the reason hy there is not a 8: only option is because
of the setting in the prere+uisites.

Set up strategies 2 Values or strategies
The values lin*ed to strategies are master data "not configuration# and
can be set in to places. 5ither ithin the configuration itself //
selecting the classification button


(r, in classification, e$ample 08:<!
-oth methods or*, the advantage of 08:<! is that all the strategies
can be vieed easier.
Set o#erall 0 ite- or ,oc t%pe 4PR onl%6
.or Puchase 6e+uisitions, there is an option to release either on item
level or on document level. .or P( % 6.) % 0ontracts, one can only
release on header level. -ac* to the P6, it is highly recommended to
use item release. This can be done in to places.
.irstly here the groups ere created

(n the document type configuration for P6
0onfig menu: Materials Management > P#rc%asing > PR > e!ine
'oc#ment types

Create an, allocate aut/orisation proiles
,n our e$ample e ill have three people releasing, so three profiles
ill need to be created. Authorisation profiles can be created using
tcode P.07.
&sage of P.07 are not being discussed here, but see belo for
relevant screen here the profile as created.
/////////////// &S,!7 6585AS5 P6(054&65S ///////////////
Create a Purc/ase Re1uisition
srin8ets create a P6, and see if the release procedure *ic*s in. ,n our
case e ill create it for plant ;C22 and any value. So e ill e$pect
Strategy A- % S: to *ic* in.
0reate P6 // me?9n
,f no A6elease strategyA tab, then it didnAt or*. ,n this case all is fine.
The user can see the 6elease 7roup "A-#, Strategy "S:# and release
indicator "H#.
"SA'5#
Release a Purc/ase Re1uisition
6eleasing can be done per P6 or collective. 8etsA use the collective
release. SAP Menu: Logistics > Material Management > P#rc%asing >
P#rc%asing Re,#isition > Release > Collecti(e Release .. ME55

Select all the items to be released and then hit Save. Dou ill see the
status of the item change to the ne$t 6elease ,ndicator.

This is the absolute basics of setting up 6elease Procedures for
Purchase 6e+uisitions. .or more posts on 6elease Procedures, see

8oading Material Master 0haracteristics ith
8SMW 4irect ,nput method
This 8SMW shos ho to mass load material master
characteristics. The 8SMW used is e$actly the same as hat as
used to load release procedure values Isap9:;.comJ. ,nput file is
obviously different.
Material Master classification can be used to store additional
information against a material master. 5$ample: if it is finished
products you may ant to store: brand, pac*, etc. ,f it is
maintenance materials, you may ant to store: size of item,
grouping, etc.
-efore loading the values "per material#, you first need to create
the fields "characteristics# and group them together in a class.
This is done ith folloing transaction codes:
0reate class /K transaction 082:
0reate characteristic"s#s /K transaction 0T2<
Assign characteristic"s# to class / transaction 082:
!o screen shots about 082: and 0T2< /K you should be be able
to get that right.
Material characteristic values can be vieed from a fe places:
MM2; 4isplay material and select characteristic vie
08:2! Specify class type 229 and material master number
08:<! Specify class name and class type "229 in this case#


This data as loaded ith attached 8SMW and folloing input file
"cl:2G9.t$t#
,f the material numbers is numeric "e$ample A9:;A# then add
leading zeroAs "as in my sample input file#. This is not re+uired
for alpha material numbers "e$ample if material number is
AA9:;0A#.
This is ho the data loo* in &ltra5dit Iultraedit.comJ

Same information but displayed in 5$cel
See ho the leading zeroAs are chopped off in 5$cel, this is one of
the main reasons to use 5$cel only to display data. 4o not save
from 5$cel, as you may alter the input data.
The last line can be deleted /K it as added to sho a deliberate
error hen all the data as loaded.
So in this case
38A6T / 229 "Material Master#
(-L53 / material master number
08ASS / 0lass name
AT!AM / 0haracteristic name
ATW6T / 0haracteristic value

location " As though real stoc* has come in # . The easiest ay to do this is via
Transaction code I M-9c J. The menu path for the same is I SAP 5asy Access />

Step 9 8 5nter the Movement Type of ?C9, enter the plant and storage location here
