Document created by Mr Behram SAP SCM specialist on 27 dec 23 - Define Attributes of Material Types

Whenever you create a material master record, you must assign it to a material type. This requires you to first define the
attributes of each material type. You do this in this IMG activity.
Material types are used in the following neighboring areas, where they are also configured in Customizing:
➢ Profit Center Accounting
➢ Product Cost Planning
➢ Sales and Distribution ( availability check)
➢ Valuation and Account Assignment ( valuation classes)
➢ Production:
▪ Bills of material
▪ Routings
Consult with these areas if necessary.
Activities
You have the following options:
• Customizing the existing material types in the SAP system if necessary
You do this by selecting the material type and choosing Details.
• Creating new material types
You do this by copying an existing material type.
In each case, define the attributes of each material type as required.

Check field “Product Type Group”
Superordinate term that covers products that can be procured, for example materials and services.
Field reference for material master
When material master records are maintained, the field reference determines for each field selection group if the field
selection group is set to Hide, Display, Required entry, or Optional entry.
In Customizing for the Material Master, you can assign one or more of the following to a field reference.
Screen reference depending on the material type
Grouping of material types that determines what screens are displayed depending on the material type when you
maintain material master records. It also determines the order in which the screens appear.

Authorization group in the material master


Makes it possible to protect access to certain objects.
To carry out a particular activity, you require the authorization for the combination of activity and authorization group. If no
authorization group is entered, no specific authorization check is carried out for materials of this material type.
Cross-Plant Material Status
Indicates whether the material may be used in the following areas for all plants:
• Materials management (for example, in purchasing and in inventory management)
• Production planning and control
• Plant maintenance
• Warehouse management
• Costing with a quantity structure
The cross-plant material status restricts the usability of the material for all plants, that is, it defines whether a warning or error
message is displayed if you include the material in a particular function.
Default value for material item category group
Group of materials that the system uses to determine item category for the processing of sales documents.
The system determines the item category on the basis of the item category group, to which the material is assigned, and the
transaction-specific data, that is defined in a table. It then proposes this item category in the document concerned.
Example
There are normal storage location items, returnable packaging items, cost-free items, and so on.
Material Is Costed with Quantity Structure
This indicator determines whether the material is costed using costing with or without a quantity structure.

If you usually cost materials using costing with quantity structure, turn on this indicator.
If you usually cost materials using costing without quantity structure, do not turn on this indicator.
You can change the indicator in the material master record at a later time.

Initial status of a new batch


This indicator specifies that the initial status of a batch is "restricted".
Configurable Material
Indicator that determines whether the material is configurable.

Material Master Record for a Process


Use
Allows materials of this material type to be defined as materials for a process in which there may be co-products.
Pipeline Handling Mandatory
Makes pipeline handling mandatory for materials of this material type.

Returnable Packaging Logistics is mandatory


This indicator specifies that for every goods movement of returnable packaging in MM inventory management, the movement
is automatically posted to the appropriate returnable packaging account.
Manufacturer Part
Identifies materials of this material type as manufacturer parts.
To allow you to distinguish between manufacturer part numbers in Purchasing, you can create a material master record for
each manufacturer part number and assign it to your company's own material
Indicator: FFF class
Flags a material of this material type as FFF class.

Definition: form-fit-function class


Manufacturer Part Number (IS-AD-MPN)
Grouping of interchangeable parts, which are identical in respect of all of their technically-relevant properties (form, fit, and
function).
An FFF class is used as a "link" to group inventory-managed manufacturer parts, which are interchangeable in procurement.
Every FFF class is represented internally in the System by a part with material type FFFC.

Quantity updating
For each plant, you can define whether the quantity is to be updated in the material master record in the case of goods
movements such as a goods receipt or goods issue.
• If the field is selected, the quantity is updated in this plant.
• If the field is not selected, the quantity is not updated in this plant.
Value updating
For each plant, you can define whether the value is to be updated in the material master record in the case of goods
movements such as a goods receipt or goods issue.
• If the field is selected, the value is updated in this plant.
• If the field is not selected, the value is not updated in this plant.
Material Type ID
Note
This field is used only in SAP Retail.
The material type ID uniquely defines a material type. For example, if the material type ID Material type for catalog variant
materials is assigned to a material type, the materials of this material type are advertising materials that can be assigned to
a product catalog.
Time in days until a material is deleted
Note
This field is used in retail only.
In the SAP Retail System, a material can be flagged for deletion only after it has passed a check by the system. It may then be
physically deleted x days later. In this field, you specify the number of days between the flagging of the material for deletion
and its actual deletion.
When archiving material master records, you can restrict the selection of materials by setting the Select on a time
basis indicator. The system then selects only those materials where the time between the flagging of the material for deletion
and the current date exceeds the number of days you have specified here.
