This document provides a step-by-step guide to configuring material master data in SAP MM (Materials Management). Material master data in SAP MM refers to all the material master records, which are stored in the SAP system. The material master is the central source of information for a material related to several application areas (Purchasing, storage, accounting, sales, etc.) based on material type. The guide covers defining industry sectors, material types, number ranges, and material groups, which are fundamental elements for organizing and managing materials within the SAP system.
The scope of this configuration document Includes:
- Define Industry Sector (OMS3): This step involves defining the type of industry to which a material belongs. It controls screen sequences and field selections in the material master data.
- Define Material Type (OMS2): This step groups materials with common features under a specific material type (e.g., raw materials, finished goods). The configuration includes settings for general data, special material types, user departments, purchasing, and valuation.
- Maintain Number Ranges for Material Type (MMNR): This configuration defines the number ranges (internal or external) for materials, which are essential for uniquely identifying each material in the system.
- Create Material Group (OMSF): This step defines material groups to categorize materials with similar characteristics, facilitating reporting and analysis.
The configuration steps detailed in this document are crucial for properly setting up the material master in SAP MM, ensuring data consistency and efficient material management. By following this documentation, organizations can accurately set up their system.
