Master Data
Master Data
In Every organization is very essential to have master data of each and every activity to be
organized centrally for all modules and departments too.
Also we can say it’s a data with its all specifications it stored in our system, and it can be
used by the system to gather information while creating PO and service, contract,
scheduling agreement etc.
From point of view of material management it includes material master and vendor master
files at the core of procurement, inventory management, and invoice verification.

Material types
Materials with some common attributes we have to put together for that we have to create material types
we have some common material types within system those are below
Material type is very important in material master in every aspect; it has control over Below
points :
Material views selection
Field selection
Price control
Procurement types
Valuation class etc.
Creation of Material Type:
I have created material types as per my requirement where I have been maintained views;
procurement types account category reference. So each department will have its own view of
the material master record.
1) Field Control
2) Procurement Control
3) Views Control
4) Valuation Control
1) Field Selection
In this section we define whether the material field is hidden, display, mandatory or optional in
maintainance, we can customize this according to clients requirment.
We can see here for selection group 175 there are no. of fields are assigned.
So for this field refrence according to field selection group Purchasing group, currency key fields
are optional without entering to that field we can save material without any error.
In this example we can see with refrence to T-CODE MM01/02 we should have to maintain Price
control indicator, whether it is standard or moving average price but for MM03 that entry is only
for display.
As per our configuration price
control is mandatory showing
here without this field we
could not proceed further
2) Procurment Control: In this field, we can see that we have control over TFIN- Finished for TESLA
material type, for this material type only external purchase order can only be procured there is no
in-house production is available for this particular material type.
This is a simple use of this Procurement control Field
3) Material Views controlEvery Material has different attributes and uses for specific of a
particular department, Basic view, Purchasing view, accounting view with these three views we
can run the entire purchase order cycle but for manufacturing company point of we have to take
MRP view likewise from the point of view of sales, we can sales view For my finished material I
need only these views because my material is not manufactured within my plant to take MRP view
for planning the material.
4) Valuation Control: In this field, we have to maintain price control, whether it is standard or
moving average price and with help of the account assignment category we can define valuation
class to particular material type, I have selected standard price for this material type, hence that
will automatically trigger while creating material as well as with respect to AAC valuation class
took automatically by the system.
Number ranges
When we create a material master record, every material is recognized by a unique
number that is known as the material number. We can assign a number to a material
through two ways
External number assignment − While creating a material, you have to enter your own
number (containing alphabets or digits), and that should be unique.
Internal number assignment − While creating a material, you need not enter any
number. The system automatically generates a unique number to that material.
Internal number range can be defined by following the steps given below −
PATH: IMG ⇒ Logistic General ⇒ Material Master ⇒ Basic Settings ⇒ Material Types ⇒ Define
Number Range for Each material Type
T-Code: MMNR
Material group is a wider range of material type. Materials with some common attributes are
taken together and they are assigned to a material group. For example: We have some
materials that are to be packaged, so the material type can be electrical or food products, but
we can group these material types and put them in the packaged material group. Follow the
steps given below to create a Material Group.
Path IMG ⇒ Logistic General ⇒ Material Master ⇒ Settings for Key Fields ⇒ Define Material

Below shown I have made different materials with respect to my industry type, material type,
and configured field selection for my plant T020.
Vendor master data contains vendor’s name, address, bank account no etc.
