MM - material code of subcontract

[sivaramang1511]

Hi,

I'm an ABAP programmer.

After purchasing a material (Eg. copper), we maintain a 'material code', and we send (outlet from company) that materials to a subcontractor for modifying the material.

As per our requirement, sometimes single material needed to be cut and divided into 3 pieces of materials.

So when it enters (inlet of company), during registration how to maintain the material code for each piece of material from the former single material code?

Because when we create a material, we create a unique number per material, and we fix costs of it, while in return, the same material divided into 3 pieces and price may vary due to manual mistakes during modifying the material.

Please help me.

Siva,

A single chunk of material inventory can be partially issued for any number of reasons.  The value of each portion issued is generally considered to be the quantity * the base price.

It is possible to configure your system so as to use Batches.  A single chunk of material inventory can be subdivided into discreet batches, each of which can have trackable differences from other batches.

Batch Management (LO-BM) - SAP Library

It is possible for all batches of a single material to have a common base price.  It is also possible to configure the system such that each batch can have a different base price.  This functionality is called Split Valuation.
