Dear shailesh jagtap

Hi how r u??

Actually The first and foremeost thing that you should remember is that Finished goods should always have Sales View and not Purchase view,Secondly Raw material should never have Sales View.

And Semi finish can have Purchase as well as Sales view.

So if u got stuck in the situation wherein u have to purchase the material and also sell

in that case use material type as HALB

Whereas in some cases if at all it is required then in that case u can set the Purchase view to finish goods or u can set sales view for ROH(Raw amterial)

in logistic general-Material master -AMterial types just for ROH or FERT select the views u require

dear shailesh,

I disagree with your comments.

A FERT needs to have a purchasing view if you want perform Stock transfers with pruchase orders.

A HALB material is - from its word stem - an intermediate material, which is in turn a material what should not be sold.

But in intercompany business you need to have purchasing and sales views, and you can customize any material type to fit your needs.

Here is a link to a SAP documents, where each material type is explained:

Shailesh,

Thanx for your coment. But i agree with what jurgen says. Customising a material type with base type as FERT is what the solution i've saught.

Jurgen,

Thanx for your suggestions. My doubt is clear.

Hi,

In case of inter company stock transfer, even if finished material of one plant is raw material of other plant, the material code in both the plants should be same.

If it is not same then you can follow the below procedure:

1. Create a non valuated material code in one plant & extend the same to other plant.

2. In supplying plant, transfer stock from finished material to a non valuated material code.

3. Transfer this non valuated code from one plant to other.

4. In receiving plant, transfer stock from non valuated code to raw material code.

First test the scenario in testing client, get the process & FI entries approved from Finance & then implement in production client.

if i am using non valuated matl as said by you; there won;t be any accounting entry. So i don't think it will help.

you can only do stock transfer by using the same material number, means you have 1 material master only, hence it cannot be a different material type.

i've to use one matl code thats fine but what matl type i should take? finish or raw? Is there any criteria to determine it?

[JL23]

A material type is just a shell to define which views and fields you need.

if one company uses the material as ROH and the the other produces it (which would be a FERT) then you can either change the FERT to allow purchasing views. or you create an extra material type to meet your requirement.
