If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and

Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and
Material type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one
view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains
typical MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of
default values (can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master
record. For example if an MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a
profile will be defined in the system and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:

MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.

Tips and Tricks
If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and
a material description.
Using a reference material (similar characteristics etc.) saves a lot of effort as all the views
will be copied over and can be changed or overwritten.
Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and
Material type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one
view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains
typical MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of
default values (can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master
record. For example if an MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a
profile will be defined in the system and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:
Views:
Organizational levels:
Page | 118
MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.
To determine which views of a material need to be added or to see which plants a material has been
extended

Tips and Tricks
If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and
a material description.
Using a reference material (similar characteristics etc.) saves a lot of effort as all the views
will be copied over and can be changed or overwritten.
Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and
Material type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one
view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains
typical MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of
default values (can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master
record. For example if an MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a
profile will be defined in the system and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:
Views:
Organizational levels:
Page | 192
MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.
To determine which views of a material need to be added or to see which plants a material has been
extended
to,

To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level

Tips and Tricks
If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and a
material description.
Using a reference material (similar characteristics etc.) saves a lot of effort as all the views will be
copied over and can be changed or overwritten.
Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and Material
type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains typical
MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of default values
(can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master record. For example if an
MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a profile will be defined in the system
and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:
Views:
Organizational levels:
Page | 266
MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.
To determine which views of a material need to be added or to see which plants a material has been
extended
to,
use

Tips and Tricks
If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and a
material description.
Using a reference material (similar characteristics etc.) saves a lot of effort as all the views will be
copied over and can be changed or overwritten.
Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and Material
type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains typical
MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of default values
(can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master record. For example if an
MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a profile will be defined in the system
and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:

Organizational levels:

MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.
To determine which views of a material need to be added or to see which plants a material has been
extended

Tips and Tricks
If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and a
material description.
Using a reference material (similar characteristics etc.) saves a lot of effort as all the views will be
copied over and can be changed or overwritten.
Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and Material
type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains typical
MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of default values
(can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master record. For example if an
MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a profile will be defined in the system
and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:
Views:
Organizational levels:
Page | 449
MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.
To determine which views of a material need to be added or to see which plants a material has been
extended

Tips and Tricks
If no other view exists, you must enter the base (standard / inventory) Unit of measure and a
material description.
Using a reference material (similar characteristics etc.) saves a lot of effort as all the views will be
copied over and can be changed or overwritten.
Note: When creating the MRP Views (or any view for that matter), the Industry Sector and Material
type will be automatically copied from an existing view, so long as at least one view exists.
The material data can be entered with or without an MRP profile. An MRP profile contains typical
MRP data for a particular procedure. The values can be fixed (cannot be changed) of default values
(can be overridden). The MRP profile simplifies data entry in the master record. For example if an
MRP controller looks after similar material at several plants, a profile will be defined in the system
and assigned to new materials as they are created.
To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:
Views:
Organizational levels:
Page | 514
MM COURSE: MASTER
To extend a material to a different plant requires selecting the new plant on the organizational level
screen. Note that all views of a material are not extended unless they were selected on the initial
screen. In addition, each plant may have a different system configuration requiring additional inputs
on each of the departmental screens. Material changes made in one plant do not change that material
in other plants.
To determine which views of a material need to be added or to see which plants a material has been
extended

Overview
Archiving and Deleting Vendor Master Records
Vendor master records may not be archived immediately. For you to archive a vendor master
record, the following requirements must be met:
The account cannot contain any transaction figures in the system. Transaction figures from prior
years that have not been archived will prevent the system from deleting the account master
record.
The account must be marked for deletion in its master record.
You should block an account for posting before you mark it for deletion. The only effect this deletion
indicator has is to cause a warning to be issued every time you subsequently try to post to this account.

Overview
Creating possible sources of supply for a material
Business Process Procedure Overview
Source lists records are used in determining the effective source of a material. Source determination is the
process of assigning a particular source of supply to a purchase requisition or vice versa. A source list
specifies the possible sources of supply for a material over a given period of time. It shows the time
period in which a material may be ordered from a given vendor or under a certain long term purchase
agreement. The system can generate a source list for a material automatically. A source list is created.
