What is a Material Type and what it controls?

Material Type: Materials with having the same properties are assigned to the same material type like raw materials,semifinished products and finished products.
or we can say that A Material Type describes the characteristics of a material that are important in regards to Accounting and Inventory Management.  A material is assigned a type when you create the material master record.  “Raw Materials”, “Finished Products”, and “Semi-Finished Products” are examples.  In the standard MM module, the Material Type of ROH denotes an externally procured material, and FERT indicates that the relevant material is produced in-house.


Material Type controls:


1. Types of number assignment(Internal or external)
2. The permissible number range intervals.
3. Which screens appears and in which order and which user-department data is suggested for entry.
4. Which procurement type is allowed like whether the material is procured internally or externally.

SAP MM: Purchasing Inforecord

Purchasing Inforecord provides helps to define vendor-specific information for a material.

“Purchasing Info record provides the option of storing data about a vendor and material as the master data at purchasing organization and plant level.”
We can define the following information in info record:

  1. Current and future prices and conditions(For example Freight and discounts)
  2. Delivery data(For example planned delivery time and over delivery and under delivery tolerances)
  3. Vendor data such as contact person.
  4. Number of the last purchase order.
  5. Texts.

A purchasing inforecord can be valid at both purchasing organization and plant level. Purchasing inforecord also includes general data that is valid cross-client for every purchasing organization or every plant.

Inforecord can be created manually or  can create or change automatically by setting the Infoupdate Indicator when maintaining a Quation,Purchase order or outline agreement.

The transaction codes for inforecord are following as:

  1. Create Inforecord   -  ME21N

SAP MM: Vendor Master Record

Vendor Master Record is used to storing information about an enterprise vendor. Information like Vendor’s address, the currency for transaction, payment terms and accounting information like reconciliation account are saved in a vendor master record.
Vendor Master Record stores information about three organization levels:

                                             Client
                                                                                                     
                                             Company Code
                                                    
                                              Purchasing Organizational

The data in Vendor Master Record can be subdivided into following three categories:

1. Client Data: Vendor’s address and bank details.
2. Company Code Data: Reconciliation Account information.
3. Purchasing Organization Data: Order Currency and Incoterms data

There are two types of transactions used to create a Vendor Master Record:
  1. If the vendor master record is maintained decentralized then we use the following transaction:

MK01- Create Vendor Master Record
MK02- Change Vendor Master Record
MK03- Display Vendor Master Record

Mk06- Flag for deletion

  1. 2. If the vendor master record is maintained centralized then we use the following transaction:

XK01- Create Vendor Master Record
XK02- Change Vendor Master Record
XK03- Display Vendor Master Record

Xk06- Flag for deletion

Create/Change/Display Vendor Master Record (Centralized):

SAP Menu- Logistics- Material Management- Purchasing Data- Master Data- Vendor- Central-Create/Change/Display

If we want to block only one material from being ordered from authorized vendor, we can block the vendor in “Source List”.

Reconciliation Account: If we buy some material from vendor then we have to pay for this. Reconciliation account is a sub ledger account in GL accounting.

Partner Roles: There can be various partner roles that our business partner can assume like Forwarder, Invoicing Party, Carrier, Payee etc.
