Definition
Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the material.
Supplementary Documentation - MATNR 0000
Use
You can select the requirements at component level instead of at assembly level. This means that only the component you select is displayed instead of all the components for the assembly.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - MATNR 0001
Procedure
In create mode, you can either choose a number yourself or have a concecutive number assigned for you by the system, depending on the method preferred by your company,
- If you leave the field blank, the system will assign a number automatically.
- If you enter a number, it must be within the corresponding number range.
Supplementary Documentation - MATNR 0002
Procedure
Enter the number of the material you want to order.
Leave this field blank if no master record exists for the material.
Supplementary Documentation - MATNR 0003
Use
You can create purchasing info records as follows:
- reference to a material master record. Data such as the order unit and material description is copied from the material master. If the material is ordered, information such as price and conditions is automatically copied from the info record to the order items.
- reference to a material master record. You must enter the material data in the info record. Moreover, you can only use the info record to create a purchase order by entering the number of the info record.
Procedure
Enter a material number if you want to define the purchasing info record using a material master record.
If you enter nothing, the purchasing info record will be defined without reference to a material master record.

Supplementary Documentation - MATNR 0100
Use
With multiple BOMs, you must define the way in which the alternative BOM is to be selected for the planning run. One option you have is to control selection via the date. In this table, you enter the materials for which the alternative is to be selected via the date.
Here, you define a time range per material and BOM usage, in which a particular alternative BOM is to be selected.
Note
There are two requirements for selection of an alternative BOM according to date:
You must have entered the corresponding indicator for selection of an alternative according to date in the material master record.
You must have entered the materials, which are to be included in BOM selection according to date, in this table.
Procedure
Specify the following parameters for defining selection of the alternative:
- material number
- BOM usage
- valid-from date
If you enter only one date, the time range will be endless. If you maintain different time ranges with different alternatives for a material, the preceding time range will always apply until the start of the next time range.
