defines whether a warning or error message is displayed if you include the material in a particular function. The Entry is Optional.

There are following options for this entry:

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 01 02 BP KA OB PI Z1 Blocked for Procurement/Warehouse Blocked for task list/BOM Blocked for Purchasing Blocked for Costing Obsolete Materials Free for Pilot Phase Blocked for Procurement/Inventory

Screen-2: Basic Data2 No entry is mandatory in this view

Screen-3: Purchasing View

1. Basic Unit of Measure: It is the basic unit of Measure of the Raw Material. All the conversions for Alternate Unit of Measure will be done with respect to Basic Unit of Measure. 2. Order Unit: If the Order unit is different than Basic Unit of Measure than only this field is Mandatory and then System will ask you the Conversion Factor. If Order unit is same as Base Unit of measure than this field need to be blank, system will consider Base unit of measure as ordering unit.

Purchase Group: Enter the code of Buyer. Material Group: It is the logical grouping of Raw Material. Automatic Purchase Order: This indicator defines that purchase orders are generated automatically when purchase
requisitions are converted into purchase orders. If this indicator is flagged, the system does not display the purchase orders on the screen before they are saved. For this condition you have to maintain Source List, Quota Arrangement (if applicable), Purchase Info record, without that PO will not be created.

Batch Management: If you want to maintain Batches for the material during GRN then this check box should be ticked. Purchase Value Key: It is the reminder to Vendor about Delivery. In starting we will avoid this option if it is required
any time then we can give the values.

GR Processing Time: It is time required from Gate Entry in our plant to post it to Unrestricted Stock. Post to Inspection Stock: If this indicator is flagged, it shows that material will go for inspection after GRN. For Direct
Online item it need not to Tick this indicator. In this case Material will be directly posted to Unrestricted Stock after GRN. Screen-4: Purchase Order Text

This field is for Free Text Usage. Whatever information you want to give the vendor on Purchase Order you can write it here.

All you write will be printed on Purchase Order.

Screen-5: MRP-1

MRP Group: It is the logical grouping of Materials on the basis of Planning. It is the Optional Entry. ABC Indicator: It shows the criticality of the material
The three indicators have the following meanings:

A - important part, high consumption value B - less important part, medium consumption value C - relatively unimportant part, low consumption value

Plant Specific Material Status: It tells what is the status of Material in our plant . Following options are there:
01 BP OB Blocked for Procurement/Warehouse Blocked for Purchasing Obsolete Materials PI Free for Pilot Phase 02 KA Z Blocked for task list/BOM Blocked for Costing Blocked for Procurement/Inventory

MRP Type: It tells the material which we are creating, how its planning will be done. There are following type of MRP
Type which we are going to use: 1. Re Order Point Planning (VB): It is also called Consumption Based Planning. This type of MRP will be used in case of Consumables. Prerequisites for Re Order Planning: a. Safety Stock: Stock which should be there in the plant until the next lot of Material arrives in the plant. b. Reorder Point: Quantity after which we should place the order to vendor. c. Lead Time: It is the time required by the vendor after placing the order to the vendor till the material come to our Gate. Both the above mentioned points are based on Lead time of Procurement. 2. BOM Explosion Planning (PD): If planning is done on the base of BOM, then this type of Planning will be used. E.g. For some of our Raw material /Semi finished Goods this type of planning will be done. 3. Forecast Based Planning: If we want to plan the material on the basis of Forecasting, then we have to use this type of planning. E.g. for our Raw material, for long term planning we will use this method.

Lot Sizing Procedure: Lot size procedure defines in which lot size material should come or in which lot sizes the Purchase Order will be placed. 2D 2W EX Two Day Lot Size: It will club the total quantity of PR for 2 days. Two week lot-Size: It will clubbed the total quantity for 2 weeks. Lot-for-lot order quantity: In this type PR will be generated for the exact quantity which comes from MRP

FX Fixed order quantity: It means we have fixed the lot size. It means PR will be generated in the Multiple of that fixed lot. E.g. Total required quantity is 130 PC and we have fixed the lot size procedure by 50. Then PR will be generated in the multiple of 50, it means Pr will be generated either for 150 or 100 depending on Rounding profile. I we have selected this lot sizing procedure then we have to define the Fixed Lot Size here. HB Replenish to maximum stock level: If we want material quantity to replenish up to Maximum stock level, then we have to define the Maximum Stock Level here. E.g. Our requirement is 200 PCs and we have defined the Maximum Stock Level by 500, then Pr will be generated for 500-200=300 PCs.

Screen-6: MRP Type-2

1. Procurement Type: It tells whether the material is to be procured Internal, External, or both. For raw
Material it will be Internal, for Finished goods it will be External, for Semi Finished Goods it will be both Internal as well as External. Special Procurement Type: It is used Over and above Procurement Type. We are having following options for Special Procurement Type: (A) 40------For Stock Transfer (B) 30--------For Sub Contracting Quota Arrangement: If a material is procured from multiple vendors with fixed Share of Business, then we have to define the type of quota. Backflush Indicator: If a material is to be a back flushed after confirmation of Production Operation, then we have to mention 1 here. Planned Delivery Time: It is the time between the date of placing the order to date the material arrives at our plant gate. GR Processing Time: It is the time between Gate entry to the Stock is ready to use (Unrestricted Stock).

2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

7. Schedule Margin Key: It is the margin required at Production end.

Screen-7: MRP Type3 1. Strategy Group: There are following type of strategy group for our use: a. Make to Stock: It means we are producing the material for our stock so that whenever the requirement comes material will be supplied accordingly. For run the MRP of BOM header Items means for Finished Goods ,Strategy Group-40(Make to Stock) should be maintained. Schedule can be entered for Item with Stratey Group-40 b. Make to Order: It means we produce the material only if the requirement comes from Customr side.

c. Production By Lot: It means we are producing the material on the basis of our production lot. E.g. Requirement is for 150 PC, but we cannot load the die for less than 250 PC, in that case we have to define the minimum lot size.

2. Availability Check: It tell how system will check the availability of material e.g. Daily Requirement, Current Stock, NO check

Screen-8: MRP-4

In this screen no mandatory field exists this time if we require later on then we can change it.

Screen-9: Sales Organisation 1

1. Sales Unit: If the sale unit is different than base unit of measure then mention Sale unit otherwise keep it blank. 2. Delivering Plant: Mention the code of Supplying Plant, who is supplying the Material.

Screen-13:

Plant Data Storage-1

1. Unit of Issue: If unit of issue differ from Base unit of Measure than we have to define it here along with Conversion factor, otherwise keep it blank. 2. Minimum Remaining Shelf Life: In case of critical items for example Paint, medicine, grinding wheel etc. In that case we have to define shelf life data. For e.g. Date of Manufacturing is 01.02.09, and I purchase it on 01.07.09 and its total life is 6 month it means it will expire on 01.08.09 and I will be using it on 02.08.09,then in this case: Total Shelf Life=6month Minimum Remaining Shelf Life= 1month (01.08.09 01.07.09) Maximum Storage Period =For how much maximum time we can store it in Storage Location Above example shows that I will not procuring this material

Screen-14: General Plant Data Storage-2 1. Gross Weight: If gross weight is applicable for any material then enter the value, otherwise keep it blank it is an Optional Entry. In case of raw material we can provide the Gross Weight. 2. Weight Unit: In which unit we are measuring the Gross weight we have to fill it here. 3. Net Weight: In case of Raw Material with respect to Finished Goods we may enter net weight.

4. Volume: In case of liquid material we can put volume instead of weight. 5. Profit Center: Mention the Profit center for which material is to be procured.

Screen-15: Quality Management 1. Post to Inspection Stock: If we want to post the material directly to inspection stock after GRN then we have to
Tick this indicator.

If we want that, Quality need to be done, then in this field entry is Mandatory

This should be ticked in case of Procured items

If you have entered the QM control key, then you have to specify that what is the type of Certificate .

If certificate is to be provided by Vendor, then ZQMCERT, need to be select If Quality need to be check but No Certificate is expected from Vendor, then ZQMNVB need to be select

In JBM case, we will select E31B

Screen-16: Accounting 1

Valuation Category: If a material is procured Internal as well as External and we want valuate it on different prices then
we have to fill this entry. E.g. A material is procured from outside also and it is produced inhouse also ,then valuation of external procured material will be on Moving Average Price and material produced inside will be valuated at Standard Price. Similarly if material is procured from Import and Domestic may go for different valuation. For Split valuation this field is Mandatory.

Valuation Class: Assignment of a material to a group of G/L accounts

With other factors, the valuation class determines the G/L accounts that are updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event such as a goods movement. The valuation class makes it possible to:

Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L accounts Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account

Price Control: At which price you want to maintain the material. There are only following two options 1. Standard Price: For in house / finished product we can maintain Standard Price. If we have selected
Standard Price then we have to provide Standard Price Also. 2. Moving Average Price: For material which is externally procured like raw material, consumables we have to maintain price. It will be updated as soon as GRN is done. For every GRN Moving Average Price of Material is changed. This price is based on Quantity of GR Material.

Price Unit: The unit of Price that we have mentioned above. Price Mentioned for e.g. 1 piece, 1 kg, 1 ton etc. Screen-17: Accounting 2
