maintaining Material with multiple model names

[Mamidi_Satish_K]

Dear experts,

We have a requirement like this:

We have  same materials but maintained with different models, for example we have cartridges with HP model, Samsung model etc.. These are to be maintained in inventory on a qty based. Am planning to create them as non-valuated materials. But how to maintain different models? Is it required to create different materials per different models or any other simple route is there?

If the valuation area needed to be the same,

Material code needed to be the same,

But the difference in valuations (accounting/stock) then you can also look for split valuation.

Through this you can maintain this material as valuated materials.

Though material is same aka cartridge

You can maintain different stock levels in inventory wrt valuation types

You can maintain different prices wrt valuation types

You can maintain different account determinations  aswell.

Hence giving much of functionality.

EX:-

Split-valuation

MATERIAL	VALUATION CATEGORY	VALUATION TYPE	PLANT	VALUATION CLASS
A123	C1-CARTRIDGE	V1-HP	1100	3000
A123	C1-CARTRIDGE	V2-Samsung	1100	3001

You can try the MPN (Manufacturers part no ) functionality. It will help you to trace the material form exact source. also you can view the stock as per the model required. Else try for variant configuration.

Hi,

i suggest to use different material masters in this situation. u may try variant configuration (Which i am not good at) option too but it may be too cumbersome.
