Material master

[Former Member]

Hi,

The Siemens document given the following thing...

When procuring consumable materials that do not have a material master record, you have to enter

the following, as well as the account assignment category:

Ÿ Short text (description)

Ÿ Material group

Ÿ Order unit

Without maintain the material master record (MM01)

Where we are specifying those things(Short text (description), Material group, and Order unit)?

And

How can I create the PO for this material?

Could you please suggest me.

Regards,

Sudheer.

hi

if u have any consumable materials for which u dont want to keep inventory but u need the valuation then u can do it

if u use this ,the material grp for accting

u dont have to manually give accts for the consumable postings by mat grp system will determine it

use following for acct determination using mat grp

Material Management -> Purchasing -> Material Master -> Entry aids for items without a Material Master

here u will spedify material grp and val class for it

so system will determine the acct for posting

Hi,

Material master means material creation(MM01) is it right?

I want to procure consumable material like office material(Papers, file folders etc)

We can able to procure consumable materials without creating material master right?

While I am creating PO without creating Material master It shows error "Enter the material"

Ok, I enter the material like File Folder ,but I am not created this material , thats way It shows the again error like

"The material File Folder does not exist or is not activated"

Thats way my doubt is how can we create the PO without creating the Material master for this material (File Folder).

Regards,

as u have not created material just maintain the short text as file folder

then the material grp using which u want to do the gl postings

and save po with other details

now see my perior reply for the customisation for adding val class format grp

Hi,

U have to enter the account assignment category, short description, since there is no MMR, that particular procurement should go to which consumption so u give account assignment category like cost center
