SAP Material master views with field name details
View Field Description Remarks
Plant Organizational Element identifies the data relevant for that plant
Storage Location Organizational Element identifies the data relevant for storage location within a plant
Basic Data Material Description Material Description
Base Unit of Measure Base Unit of Measure
Material Group Groups materials
Old material number Old material number
Division Determines Sales & business area
GenItem Cat Group grouping that helps the system to determine item categories during sales document processing
Volume Unit Unit referring to the volume of the material
MRP 1 ABC indicator Indicator that classifies a material as an A, B, or C part according to its consumption value. This classification process is known as the ABC analysis
MRP Type Key that determines whether and how the material is planned
Reorder point If the stock falls below this quantity, the system flags the material for requirements planning.
MRP Controller Specifies the number of the MRP controller or group of MRP controllers responsible for material planning for the material.
Lot Size Key that determines which lot-sizing procedure the system uses within materials planning to calculate the quantity to be procured or produced. For Eg: lot for lot order quantity, fixed lot etc
Minimum Lot Size Depends on lot size indicator
Maximum Lot Size Depends on lot size indicator
MRP 2 Procurement Type Indicator that defines how the material is procured. The following procurements types are possible: The material is produced in-house. The material is procured Externally. The material can be both produced in-house/externally
Special Procurement Defines the procurement type more exactly. The system determines the procurement type from the material type
Quota arrangement usage Controls how the total order quantity is calculated in the quota arrangement, and thus which source of supply is determined for the material at a particular point in time.
Batch Entry Defines when batches have to be determined when using the PP/WM interface
Schedule Margin Key Key that the system uses to determine the floats required for scheduling an order. Opening period float after production (only in the case of in-house production) float before production (only in the case of in-house production) release period (only in the case of production order management)
Planned delivery time Number of calendar days needed to obtain the material or service if it is procured externally
Safety stock Specifies the quantity whose purpose is to satisfy unexpectedly high demand in the coverage period. The risk of shortfalls is reduced by having a safety stock. This has to be maintained for each plant.
Min safety stock The quantity that defines the lower limit for safety stock. This value cannot be exceeded.
MRP 3 Strategy Group The strategy group groups all the planning strategies that can be used for a particular material. It will decide the stock type production eg Make to Stock, Make to Order
Period indicator Unit of Period eg M, D, W.
Total Replenishment lead time The total replenishment lead time is the time needed before the product is completely available again
Availability Check
MRP 4 Selection method Selection of BOM at the time of MRP run.
Individual /coll. Indicator determining whether the following requirements are allowed for the dependent requirements of the material
Work Scheduling WS view to be maintained for in-house made components
Production Scheduler Person responsible for Production scheduling
Production Scheduling Profile It determines creation and release an order at the same time, or release an order and print the shop papers
Plant data storage2 Negative Stock in plant Indicator to keep negative stocks in the plant. This helps in creation of delivery in case production order is not confirmed in the system but physically the material is produced. Can be maintained for finished products.
Quality Management Inspection interval Specifies the interval between two quality inspections.
Inspection Set up This button is be used to activate inspection types in QM. It is used to initiate inspection at various stages of the logistics cycle. E.g. incoming inspection, in process inspection
QM Procurement Active This key is used to initiate Quality in Procurement activities. By activating this indicator Quality info records are created in Mm as a Master data. QM info record is created for a vendor material combination and is used for quality checks on the vendor. This may be used based on the requirements.
QM control key This key determines which conditions are valid for quality management in procurement. Once QM in procurement is activated this key has to be maintained. It is used for control over the vendor at the time of GRN.
Documentation Required Causes changes to inspection lots for this material to be documented by the system.
Certificate type Defines the content of the quality certificate .At GRN stage the system asks you whether a certificate has been received or not.
