a particular material group.
data 1
5. Country derived from Sales Org

data.
Identifies the country in which the
delivery originates.
The system uses the key to :
- determine the relevant taxes
during pricing
- determine important countryspecific standards (the length
of postal codes and bank
account numbers, for example)
28
6. Tax category
Identifies the condition that the system
uses to automatically determine
country-specific taxes during pricing.
You can define one or more tax
categories (VAT, local tax, excise tax,
etc.) for each country. During sales
order processing, the system applies
the tax category according to
- the geographical location of
your delivering plant and the
location of the customer
receiving the goods
- tax classifications in the
customer master record and
the material master record.
7. Tax classification
The indicator with which the system
determines output tax for the material
when processing sales and
distribution specific documents.
29
Optional fields:
1. Sales unit
Unit of measure in which the material
is sold.

the system will assume that the unit of
measure is the base unit of measure.
2. X-distr. chain status

used in individual functions in Sales
and Distribution for all distribution
chains.
The cross-distribution-chain material
status restricts the usability of the
material for all the distribution chains,

unit of measure
The minimum quantity a customer
may order.
8. Minimum delivery quantity in

delivery note processing
Minimum quantity that may be
delivered to a customer.
32
9. Rounding Profile
Key that the system uses to adjust the
order proposal quantity to deliverable
units.
An Example: A material's base unit of
measure is 1 unit; the purchase order
is to be delivered in layers (1 layer
corresponds to 5 units) or in pallets (1
pallet corresponds to 8 layers which
contains 40 units).
You maintain the profile as follows:
From a requirements of 2 units, the
system is to round up to 5; from a
requirement of 32 units, the system is
to round up to 40.
10. Delivery unit

Only exact multiples of this number
can be delivered.
33
11. Unit of measure of delivery unit

Unit of measure that refers to the
delivery unit.

are determined when material is
created.
35
3. Acct assignment grp

Group of materials with the same
accounting requirements.
Used by the system when creating an
accounting document from a billing
document to determine the revenue or
sales deduction account (the
combination of account ass. grp. from
material and account ass. grp. from
customer defines the revenue G/L
account).
4. Item category group
A grouping of materials that the
system uses to determine item
categories during the processing of
sales documents.
Depending on the item category group
that you apply and the sales
document type you are processing,
the system automatically proposes an
item category in the Sales document.
An Item category triggers specific
scenario (eg. Procure to Order, Direct
Shipment, MRP, etc.)
Optional fields:
1. Material statistics group

2. Material pricing grp

A way of grouping materials to which
you want to apply the same
conditions.
You can create condition records for a
material pricing group using the
following condition types:
-
Material pricing group (for

example, all non-food products)
A combination of customer and
material pricing group
A combination of price group
and material group (for
example, all wholesale
customers and all non-food
products)
3. Volume rebate group

Group definition that can be used for
rebate settlement.
37
4. General item category group

Materials grouping that helps the
system to determine item categories
during sales document processing.
If a group is configured specific to

grouping together materials by
combining different characteristics. It
is used for analyses and price
determination.
7. Commission group
Commission group to which the
material is assigned.
You can assign two materials to the

same commission group as long as
each representative who sells these
materials receives the same
commission percentage for both
materials. In other words, the
commission percentages within a
commission group are always the
same for any one representative but
may vary for different representatives.
39
8.
Material Groups
You can use them as required, for

example, for analyses.
9. Product attributes
When you enter this material in a

sales document, the system checks if
the ship-to party accepts this product
attribute. In Customizing, you must
specify by sales document type how
the system should react if the ship-to
party does not accept the product
attribute.

reservations) the system
includes in the availability
check
Whether the system checks
availability only until the end of
the replenishment lead time or
whether it checks availability
over the entire period for which
MRP elements exist
Whether the system generates
individual requirements or
summarized requirements if
you enter sales orders or
deliveries for the material.

managed in batches.
This indicator can be set in the
material master record manually or, if
batches are valuated individually, it is
set automatically for the plants
concerned, in which case it cannot be
changed.
Note: This field is strictly connected
Plant data/stor. 1, Purchasing and
Work scheduling.
If this checkbox is ticked, it is
mandatory to maintain at least one
batch for every Good Receipt (GR).
2. Setup time

the following activities may only be
performed after the relevant batch
record has been approved:
Making the usage decision for an

inspection lot of the origin Goods
receipt from production
Changing the batch status from
Restricted to Unrestricted
13. Serial Number Profile

Freely definable four-digit key that
provides unique identification for a
serial number profile.
48
14. Distribution profile of material in

plant
Materials can be distributed among

the individual recipients in a plant
using the processing methods crossdocking and flow-through, for
example.
49
15. Level of Explicitness for Serial

Number
If the indicator is 1, the serial number

and equipment number are kept
synchronous; that is, when master
records are created, the system
always sets the equipment number
the same as the serial number.
In this way you can make the serial
numbers unique on a client-wide
scale. A prerequisite for this is that all
material master records have the
indicator set to 1.

issued from the warehouse and this
unit is different as Base Unity of
Measure
2. Plant specific material status
Note: Indicates whether, for a specific

plant, the material may be used in the
following areas:
-

Plant maintenance
structure
The plant-specific material status

restricts the usability of the material
for the plant concerned, that is, it
defines whether a warning or error
message is displayed if you include
the material in a particular function.

When you extend the Material to the
Plant, the Valuation Class will be
copied from the Material already
created.
The Valuation Class has the following
functions:
Allows the stock values of
materials of the same material
type to be posted to different
G/L accounts.
Allows the stock values of
materials of different material
types to be posted to the same
G/L account.
Determines together with other
factors the G/L accounts
updated for a valuation-relevant
transaction (such as a goods
movement).
3. Price control
Indicates the price control used to
valuate the stock of a material.
You have the following options:
S - Standard price

3. Moving price
Price of the material usually this price
is for raw materials that are purchased
externally. This can be one of the
following:
Moving average price

Periodic unit price (only if the
material ledger is activated for
the material, this applies to
Brazil and Russia).
This field is mandatory if the Price

control is V.
The system calculates the moving
average price automatically by
dividing the material value in the stock
account by the total of all storage
location stocks in the plant concerned.
It changes the price with each
valuation-relevant movement.
4. Standard price
Standard price of the material usually
this price is for materials that semifinished or finished where the price
does not fluctuate very often.
This field is mandatory if the Price
control is S.
The valuation of material stocks at
standard prices means that all goods
movements are valuated at the same
price over an extended period.
108
5. Future price

valuated as from a precise date in the
future.
The future standard price is valid as of
the date you enter in the Valid from

costing with quantity structure, turn on
this indicator.
If you usually cost materials using
costing without quantity structure, do
not turn on this indicator.
2. Origin group
Mainly used for the Overhead
Calculation, to divide the overhead
rates with different percentages with
the Material Origin group and this is
used in the Costing sheet. This is only
required in Poland and Sweden.
112
3. Material origin
If this indicator is set, the material
number will be written to the cost
element itemization in the Controlling
module.
If you set this indicator, the costs
incurred will be updated
under a primary cost element

with reference to the material
number
4. Overhead Group
Key that groups together materials to
which the same overhead is applied.
5. Variance Key
Key that controls variance calculation.
Variances can only be calculated for
the orders for which a variance key
has been entered. This key is
defaulted through the costing view in
the material master record.
If you have activated variance
calculation in the variance key, the
value of the scrap is calculated at
target cost and subtracted from the
actual costs before the variances are
determined.
