Charlie,

thank you for the reply,

I've saved this link in my favorites.

It gets you close, but doesn't go to the next level.

After the document records are created.

Next step, create a material master.

Decision - HALB(make) or ROH(buy).

What features help define this decision ???

thank you!!!

Hi,

The material type controls many things but the most relevant is which views you get to maintain.

For instance if you choose FERT (finished product) you get access to maintain the production data related views.

If you choose ROH you don't (normally) get the Sales views etc.

So if you make something choose a material type such as FERT or HALB (semi finished product so you can buy or make this).

Each material type can be configured differently to the above and so there is no hard and fast rules.

Other things that are controlled by material type are number ranges and which valuation classes are relevant (i.e. which accounts willbe used).
