2 General Data
2.1 Material short text

Material short text is maintained in different languages and describes the material in a unique manner due
to our EagleBurgmann standards.
Material Short Text (40 digits)
If the material is already extended with one of the classifications for our short text generation the short text
is built automatically. This logic applies for the following material types
- Z001, Z002, Z003, Z004, Z007, Z011, Z013, Z014
xxxx_yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy_abc
Designation (4 digits) _ Drawing number (26 digits) _ Q Level (1 digit) / Additional Info (1 digit) / Q Level
extension (1 digit)
Specialty for part Drawing Number:
- SAP field & TeamCenter field possible up to 30 digits
- If longer than 26 digits its shortend automatically during material short text generation
Material short text is created by a generic short text generator out of the classification data for class type
“001” and Classes:
- ZMATERIALTEXT_MS: Mechanical Seals, Supply Systems…
- ZMATERIALTEXT_KE: Compensators
- ZMATERIALTEXT_PG: Packing & Gaskets
- ZMATERIALTEXT_EBJ1: EBJ materials
If no automated generation possible please follow those rules

2.2 Material status concept

2.2.1 Cross-plant & plant specific material status
Indicates whether, in general or for a specific plant, the material may be used in the following areas (status
determines whether the system issues a message and, if so, whether it is a warning or an error message):
Overall topic Function / Abbrev. Issues a message (W / E)
Materials Inventory Management IM if the material is used in Inventory

Management (MM) Management
Bill of Material (Header BM if the material is used in a bill of material
/ Item) header or item (2 different flags)
Plant maintenance PM if the material is used in plant
maintenance (a restriction on the use of
the material affects the reservation in the
plant maintenance order)
Production planning Material Resource RP if an MRP run is carried out for the
& control Planning material
(PP) MRP independant IR if an independent requirement is created
requirement for the material
Forecasting FC if a forecast run is carried out for the
material
Long-Term planning LT if a long-term planning run is carried out
for the material
Routing / Recipe RR if the material is used in a routing or
master recipe
Production Order PH if the material is used in a production
header material order as header material
Production Order item PI if the material is used in a production
or network item order item or network item
Production PR if production resources/tools are assigned
resources/tools to routings or production orders
Warehouse WM transfer TR if the material is used in a transfer
Management requirement/posting requirement or posting change in
(WM) warehouse management
WM transfer order TO if the material is used in a transfer order
in warehouse management
Cost Management Procedure when CE in the case of faulty costing when the
(CM) creating material cost material is used in further cost estimates

(SPART) services. The system uses divisions to
determine the sales areas and the business
areas for a material, product, or service.
2.3.2 Base Unit of Measure

Standard value is PC, piece (for Z002).

Material Master
Reference Guide
2.3.3 Weight unit

Unit referring to the gross weight or net weight of the material. The unit of weight is a required field in the
"Sales" view since it is copied to sales orders for the material. You cannot change it in the sales order. In
Sales General view weight unit is defaulted to value “KG, kilogram”
2.3.4 Material group

Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign
them to a particular material group. Note: EBG Purchasing maintains the selectable data for this field.
Business Rules:
- If material is inhouse produced 160 has to be selected.
Usage:
- Categorization for reporting purposes for group procurement controlling
- Printing control for specific material class “1235” in purchasing forms (development planned to make
it configurable via SAP Table)
2.3.5 Division
A way of grouping materials, products, or services. The system uses divisions to determine the sales areas
and the business areas for a material, product, or service.
Usage:
- At EBG we have only one value: 01 = EB Division 01
2.3.6 Laboratory/Design office

Key for the design office, laboratory, or laboratory worker responsible. Used at EagleBurgmann to
differentiate the existing segments working on ECC system to have an information which engineering
department to contact in case of questions.

Process impact:
- Change of product hierarchy must be approved by cost management. If product hierarchy change is
requested it might be that existing stock must be booked out and booked in after change.

2.3.8 Drawing ID Documentum

Drawing number defined by WN300 for all drawings which are used in DOCUMENTUM. This field ensures
the interface between SAP & Documentum for lookup or printings of drawings.
Usage:
1. Manufacturing: Printing of drawing for routing cards or fitting information
2. Goods receipt according to purchase order for approval of product against drawing

Material Master

3. Drawings refinishing or extended workbench manufacturing

4. Purchase order (drawing) for approval Commented [SA4]: To be checked by Florian Bickert
2.3.9 Old material number

Today‘s usages
- Migrated material data: PROFID material number from legacy system
- KE products: Axapta number as reference to ERP system used in production site in Denmark
Proposals
- Keep legacy system number for migrated materials
- Use old material number if a dedicated follow-up material was created for replacement
(recommendation by Natalie Haider-Bosse)
- KE products: Wants to keep today’s logic for better business processes in regard to customer service
2.3.10 General Item Category Group (not currently used)

Materials grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing. If
a group is configured specific to distribution channel, it has priority if the corresponding activity is
distribution channel-dependent.
The system automatically suggests an item type in the document depending on the item category group you
assign and the sales document type you are processing.Example: In the standard system, there are normal
items, items that signify services (and therefore need no delivery processing) and items that signify packing
material, for example.
For value help and usage see chapter 4.1.1

4 Sales Area Data
4.1 Sales: Sales organization data 1 & 2
4.1.1 Item Category Group

The item category group determines how a material is processed in the sales order. It defines, for example,
that pricing does not take place for a free of charge item, such as a business gift; or that inventory
management is not carried out for a service. When processing sales and distribution documents, the system
uses the item category group to determine the item category. The system determines the item category
based on the item category group of the material and the current business transaction, and proposes it in
the respective document.
When creating the material types non-stock material and services , DIEN is proposed in both cases for the
item category group, because the order processing for both material types is identical: for example, pricing
is carried out for both, but no availability check.
In sales processing a validation takes place that the item category group of an item material is customized
for the used sales document type. With that customizing the default item category for that position is set
and can be replaced by a customized set of substitute categories defined in same customizing table.

account assignment from a billing document is defined in customizing to derive the correct financial account
in dependency of:
- Accounting key (e.g. revenue, revenue reduction…)
- Account assignment groups:

4.1.3 Product Hierarchy

Alphanumeric character string for grouping together materials by combining different characteristics. It is
used for analyses and price determination. Currently only 4 positons are being used.
Note: By default, this field will be populated with the data contained in the same field on the Basic Data 1
view and must not be changed
For detailed information regarding reference data see chapter 2.3.7
4.1.4 Cash Discount

Indicator that specifies whether this material qualifies for a cash discount. If this flag for that material is not
set the customer will not get cash discount for that material even if the time frame according to the defined
payment term was met.
Flag is set automatically in SAP ERP.

Material Master
Reference Guide
4.1.5 Delivery plant Commented [SA11]: To be reviewed and approved by Walter

Fischer
Plant from which the goods should be delivered to the customer. This plant is automatically copied into the
sales order item as the default value. Current situation is to only have a 1:1 assignment between sales
organization and delivery plant so that value can be derived automatically. No delivery out of a plant not
belonging to defined sales organization.
Business rule for derivation is documented in attachment 4, Configuration Specification Sales Data, Tab
“Delivery plant”. Derivation delivers default values which can be overwritten with different values.
4.1.6 Urgent order flag Commented [SA12]: To be reviewed by Walter Fischer
Indicator if a material can’t be used in time critical order processes. If a material is flagged with 99, the
material can’t be used in urgent order processes.
Only applicable to sales organizations EBG Operations and Sales & Service if distribution channel is “01,
Sales”. Not applicable for service.
- 1700-01
- 1010-01
4.1.7 Column
Field “Column” is also details in conditions table to differentiate on intercompany business partner level the
conditions determine revenue-specific sales potential (USAP):
- transaction to check is VK13 with condition type “ZF01” maintained by Data Owner
Derivation of discount between 1700, Eurasburg and subsidiary (or in special cases 3rd Party customer) is
based on column. With introduction of the transfer price the importance of calculation of an USAP has
decreased but subisidiaries still look up the determined USAP for their sales trades. Especially DGS materials
still use that differentitation as well as subsidiary in Japan.
For newly created materials the field must be set to “3” which is the worst factor. Changes must be
requested per material. If transfer price exists on components level USAP is overruled by transfer price
which must be used.
Goal: distinguish commodity products and products for standard applications from individually
manufactured items and standard materials from special materials by applying a factor.
Different factors depending on production lot sizes can be used to determine revenue-specific sales
potential (USAP):
Column Description Characteristic
No discount
0 Column 0 No discount
1 Column 1 Best factor
2 Column 2 Medium factor

3 Column 3 Worst factor

4.1.9 Sales Unit & Sales unit not variable (not currently used)
Unit of measure in which the material is sold. No entry required if sales unit is the same as base unit of
measure. If different, the sales unit must be setup in the conversions table of material master. You can
maintain the sales unit for each material and sales organization/distribution channel. The sales unit is
proposed in Sales and Distribution (SD) documents such as sales orders. If a variable sales unit is not
allowed, the unit specified in documents may not differ from that in the master record.
Sales Units are not currently used at EagleBurgmann so those fields must be kept empty. For future use
please contact your data owner. Commented [SA13]: To be reviewed and approved by Walter

Note: Plant-specific data
4.2.2 Availability check

This field has two uses:
1. Specifies whether and how the system checks availability and generates requirements for materials
planning.
2. In Flexible Planning, defines - together with the checking rule - the different MRP elements that make
up this key figure. The sum of these elements gives the key figure.
4.2.3 Material pricing group

A way of grouping materials to which you want to apply the same conditions.

Material Master
Reference Guide
You can create condition records for a material pricing group using the following condition types:
- Material pricing group (for example, all non-food products)
- A combination of customer and material pricing group
- A combination of price group and material group (for example, all wholesale customers and all non-
food products)

Field is also used as an indicator regarding delivery possibility.
4.2.4 Commission group

Commission group to which the material is assigned. You can assign two materials to the same commission
group as long as each representative who sells these materials receives the same commission percentage
for both materials. In other words, the commission percentages within a commission group are always the
same for any one representative but may vary for different representatives.

02 PG

4.2.5 Serial number

Character string that is given to a product in addition to a product number in order to differentiate the
individual piece from all the other pieces. The combination of product number and serial number is unique.
You use serial numbers if you want to identify or trace single units in the warehouse. Extended Warehouse
Management (EWM) only controls the serial numbers (as a movement date) until goods issue posting. You
can also extract the serial number as textual information from the delivery document, meaning that further
information is saved only by the ERP system.If you use the data record for master data in the ERP system,
you can carry out evaluations with the serial number history and check partner data, for example.

4.2.5.2 Serialization level

As the equipment number is by definition unique at client level, by synchronizing the serial number and
equipment number, you can make serial numbers unique for all materials. The prerequisite for this is, that
the indicator Serialization Level is set to 1 for all material master records.

4.2.6 Batch management

Specifies whether the material is managed in batches. The indicator cannot be changed if stocks exist in
either the current period or in the previous period. The reason for checking the previous period is because
stocks can be posted to this period when goods movements are entered.
Note (Verly): At EB, it is recommended that all applicable Raw Material (material Type Z004) and applicable
Purchased Parts (under material type Z003) should be batch managed (technically batch management is not
restricted to a material type).

commodity code of the material in production plant 170A or set manually per mass transaction by
export control department. Export Control Flag refers to a valid from flag, too.

user
Additional issue today: Because of batch input methodology expoko flag cannot be set if a material
view of the previous one is missing (Basic data 1-3, Classification, Sales 1&2). Especially for
quotation material the classification is not yet created which means no update on ExPoKo flag.
Logic:
1. Empty field ExPoKo & respective create date discovered
2. Check against corresponding plant for sales organization (table TVKWZ allowed
plants for sales organization)
e.g.: 1010  101A
3. Check commodity code if not critical and set flag
4. If no corresponding plant is already created, commodity code of production plant
170A will be used.
Remark: No Update of ExPoKo flag implemented, only intial value will be set.

5 Foreign Trade import/export

Foreign trade data can be maintained on two different material views “Foreign trade import” and “Foreign
trade export” but with the same data fields in both views. Additional group of data exists for export which
covers “DeMinimis” requirements and is a custom development of EagleBurgmann.
5.1 Foreign trade data – Commodity Code

Official key corresponding to the harmonized system for the description and coding of merchandise.
Depending on the system settings, this field contains either the commodity code or the customs tariff
number (import code number).
The commodity code is used for statistical purposes and must be declared to the authorities for various
foreign trade transactions, both import and export transactions. Examples include INTRASTAT and
EXTRASTAT declarations in the European Union or the Automated Export System (AES) in the USA.
The customs tariff number classifies goods according to the harmonized system for the description and
coding of merchandise and serves to determine customs duties. You must declare this number to the
customs authorities for every import transaction.
Commodity codes must not be used for material sets. A material set contains more than one material which
not necessarily is classified in one commodity code. A set must be created with a sales bill of material which
contains several single materials which are classified with a correct commodity code.
5.2 Country & Region of origin

Key of the country / region in which the material has been produced.
Import: The relevant authority of the importing country - usually the Ministry of Economic Affairs -
stipulates which regulations regarding customs and foreign trade law have to be observed for the
certificates of origin accompanying goods.
Export: You prove the origin of a material by presenting the certificate of origin. This is issued and
controlled by the relevant authority of the issuing country.
This information is used for foreign trade processing in different areas, such as:
- Foreign trade law
- Customs law
- INTRASTAT - Declaration in the European Union
- EXTRASTAT - Declaration in the European Union

Material Master
Reference Guide
5.2.1 EagleBurgmann Product

The country & region of origin must be set accordingly to the production plant where procurement type is
set to In-house production. A decision table for derivation of origins is documented in Attachment 2 “Plant-
specific business rules” in tab Origin (see chapter 13.2).
If a product is produced in more than one production site you have to select the origin data from delivery
plant with more regulations (e.g. if produced in Germany & China, country must be set to CN).
5.2.2 Purchased Parts / Raw materials

Origin of purchased parts must be set by operative procurement when delivered by the supplier.
5.3 Export Data DeMinimis – US Control

Export information is used during sales order creation when new positions are added to the item list.
5.3.1 US origin possible

Set flag if purchased material is possibly of US origin. Only single material records without BoM are allowed
to be set.
Flag is used for DeMinimis calculation for assemblies depending on exploded bill of material.
5.3.2 US proportion / US-part & Currency (calculated fields)

Calculated fields for US part value & currency of a material record. Currency is derived from plant’s
company code.
Calculation of US proportion depends on flag “US origin possible” (programme runs once a day at 8pm MEZ)
- Flag set in material: Value copied from connected valuation data (standard or moving price)
- No flag, but plant specific BoM exists: Value calculated from exploded BoM based on item materials
flagged as US origin
- No flag, no plant-specific BoM: No calculation
US proportion is used in sales order processing to check against the customer’s country if a threshold value
was exceeded. Sales order is blocked for further processing and export control has to check manually.
Countries threshold values and general export control flags are defined in Z-Table “ZSD_EXPOKO_LAND”.
5.3.3 US ECCN
An Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is an alphanumeric code assigned to articles, technology
and software (collectively, "items") by the US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security.

Material Master
Reference Guide
The flag in material master indicates that the material is listed by the US and must be controlled for export
purposes. No program logic behind, information field only.

6.1.3 Purchasing group

Key for a buyer or a group of buyers, who is/are responsible for certain purchasing activities. In case of
direct procurement persons are assigned to purchasing group. In case of indirect procurement a group of
buyers is set for material master.
There is also a connection between purchasing group and MRP controller which might be similar.
- But this must be verified

Material Master
Reference Guide

Usage: Purchasing group will be informed automatically during approval process for indirect procurement
(group for approval). Overall there are information messages via Mail if IDoc errors are occurring on
purchasing transactions. Purchasing group is also used for procurement reporting purposes.
6.1.4 Goods Receipt Processing Time in Days

Number of workdays required after receiving the material for inspection and placement into storage.
Default for materials procured externally: 1 / 3 days
6.1.5 Planned delivery time in Days

Number of calendar days needed to obtain the material or service if it is procured externally.
Default for newly created materials procured externally: 888 days (must be changed by operative
procurement when information was given by supplier).
6.1.6 Order Unit & Variable order unit

Order unit specifies the unit of measure in which the material is ordered that is different from the base unit
of measure. The conversion logic order unit to base unit can be entered via additional data - tab units of
measure (E. g. base unit of measure is MM and order unit is Gram).
Variable purchase order unit active: Activation of the variable purchase order unit. The information from
the field in the material master record is adopted in the purchasing info record. In the purchase order and in
the source list, you can enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record.
6.1.7 Automated PO (Purchase Order)

Indicator: "automatic purchase order allowed". Defines that purchase orders are generated automatically
when purchase requisitions are converted into purchase orders. If this indicator is flagged, the system does
not display the purchase orders on the screen before they are saved. In the master record for the vendor
with whom the material is ordered, the field "Automatic purchase order" must be flagged in the control
data for the purchasing data.

Material Master

X Both procurement types Must not be used !!!!
Procurement type indicates whether a purchasing view (procured externally) or a work scheduling view
(produced in-house) is necessary in SAP.
Exception: For main production plant 170A work scheduling view is needed for purchased parts because of
custom development for EB spare part process (“ET-Cockpit”).
7.2.2 Special Procurement Type
7.2.3 Backflush
Determines whether the backflush indicator is set in the production order. Here, a 3-level hierarchical logic
is applied:
1. In the routing, the backflush indicator is set in the component assignment.
2. In the material master record, the backflush indicator has the characteristic "Always backflush".
3. In the material master record, the backflush indicator has the characteristic "Work center
