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:

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.

Note

You can also maintain the price control for the material type in Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment in the activity Define Price Control for Material Types.

For each material type, you can allow movements in quantity to be updated in all valuation areas, in some valuation areas, or in none. Likewise, you can allow value flows to be updated in all valuation areas, in some valuation areas, or in none.

Once you have maintained the material types, define the number ranges for each material type.
