Dear Gurus
I understand that the material master data can be maintained on different levels (ie Client, Plant, Storage Location) but I do not fully understand the whole concept and how I should be looking at it.
Below are some questions that I would like to seek clarification on:
1) How do we identify materials that are "active" at plant level?
Say for example, if I only enter a plant code in MB52, can I imply that the output will be the list of items that are "active" at the plant?
2) Is there a way to control the materials' "activity" status at these levels?
For example, if a material has not been sold for 5 years, I would like to remove it from the supplying plant (so when I run MB52 again, this material will not show up). Is it correct to work in this way?
3) What constitute to a valid material master record in SAP?
Is it correct to say that the material master record can be maintained at different levels; ie at client level only/ client + plant/ client + plant + storage location?
Can a material only exist in client/ plant level but not in storage location level?

Thanks!
