How to create a Material number to Pre-Decided number ?

[former_member220334]

Hello Experts,

This is an question relevant to using MM01.

I need to know how to create an interchangeable part number to a decided part number.

Ex:- Suppose that we are using many wires for our manufacturing process and they are from only one supplier.

        Then we are using SAP number range for create the part number(ex ; 2023xxx-2023yyy range is only for one vendor)

So how to create the part number for the any wire within the range.

Please reply me soon.

Dear Lahiru,

Kindly consider the version identity of material ranges within same part number along with single material group.

It will be keep on extending based on range.

Ex:

2023XXX/1  2023YYY/1

2023XXX/2  2023YYY/2

2023XXX/3  2023YYY/3

If your material number is pre-decided number, then is there any problem to use external number range for material master ?

Hi Lahiru,

You can create a Z material type copying from a standard one (like ZROH copied from ROH) and assign external number range to that material type. Then you can assign a pre-defined material number when you create a new material in MM01.
