In this step, you define the material status as well as the characteristics of the individual material statuses.

The material status determines how a material is handled in different applications and in business operations (for example, purchasing, materials planning, usage in bills of material, and so on).

For each material, you can set a material status in the corresponding material master record. If a material has a material status, the system will issue either a warning or an error message (depending on which status you have chosen) if the material is used.

Example

Material status assignment

You want to designate a material as a material to be discontinued. In the master record, you give the material a status whose parameters have the following settings:

Parameters:

Purchasing "B" = error message

MRP "A" = warning

Inventory Management " " = no message

If the material is used, this parameter assignment has the following effect:

  • You can perform no further purchasing function for the material; for example, you can enter no further purchase order for the material. In this instance, you are given a corresponding error message.
  • If you plan requirements for the material, you are warned that the material is one to be discontinued.
  • You can continue to withdraw the material from stores; no message is given.

Actions

  1. Define your material statuses.
  2. On the Details screen, define the characteristic of the individual material statuses. You do so by positioning the cursor on the corresponding line and pressing F2. The details screen for the respective line appears.

Note

You can use a separate status management function in the Sales view on the material.
