Summary of "SAP Material Master End to End Configuration and Testing || Base for S4 HANA #SPRO #MM01 #MM02 #OMS2"
This video provides a comprehensive tutorial and explanation on SAP Material Master configuration, its components, views, and related transaction codes, focusing on the foundational setup for S/4HANA environments.
Key Technological Concepts and Product Features Covered
- Material Master Overview
- Importance of Material Master in SAP and its role in business processes.
- Hierarchy: Material Type → Material Group → Material.
- Material Type controls:
- Views available for the material.
- Screen layout (mandatory/optional fields).
- Price control method (Moving Average or Standard Price).
- Procurement type (internal, external, or both).
- Material Group used for reporting, account determination, and grouping materials logically.
- Material Master Views
- Different views capture specific data relevant to business functions:
- Basic View (client-level, includes material description, unit of measure, weight).
- Classification View (material properties like color, state, batch management).
- Sales Organization View (sales-specific data, tax categories, product hierarchy).
- Purchasing View (procurement data, purchasing group, order unit).
- MRP Views (Material Requirement Planning parameters like reorder point, lot size, MRP controller).
- Plant Data/Storage View (storage conditions, shelf life, temperature requirements).
- Warehouse Management View (WM strategies, inspection types).
- Quality Management View (inspection details).
- Accounting/Costing View (valuation class, price control, integration with FI module).
- Different views capture specific data relevant to business functions:
- Material Types Examples
- FERT (Finished Goods)
- HALB (Semi-Finished Goods)
- ROH (Raw Materials)
- Configuration Steps (SPRO / OMS2)
- Define Material Types by copying standard SAP types and customizing:
- Select views required for the material type.
- Set external/internal procurement flags.
- Assign price control and valuation class.
- Define Number Ranges:
- Internal (system-generated numbers).
- External (user-defined alphanumeric numbers).
- Assign number ranges to material types.
- Field Selection Configuration:
- Group fields into mandatory, optional, or hidden.
- Customize screen layout per material type.
- Define Material Groups with descriptions and optional authorization groups.
- Define Material Types by copying standard SAP types and customizing:
- Material Master Data Management
- Creation (MM01):
- Select material type, industry sector, and views.
- Enter data at client, plant, storage location, and sales org levels.
- Maintain unit of measure conversions, tax indicators, batch management, etc.
- Change (MM02) and Display (MM03):
- Modify or view material master data.
- Display Changes (MM04):
- Track change history of material master fields.
- Material Extension (MM02 / MMSL):
- Extend materials to other plants or storage locations.
- Flag for Deletion (MM06):
- Mark materials as deleted at various organizational levels to prevent transactions without physically deleting data.
- List of Materials Report (MM60):
- Generate reports filtered by plant, material type, or group.
- Creation (MM01):
- Business Impact
- Material master integrates with procurement, sales, accounting, warehouse, and quality management.
- Controls stock tracking, pricing, and valuation.
- Facilitates automated MRP and procurement processes.
- Enables detailed reporting and material classification.
Tutorials and Guides Provided
