File Name: 661731133.doc
Responsibility: Release: R/3 4.7

Trigger:
 A request to immediately change one or more fields in the material master views

Business Process Description Overview

Fields within the material master can be added and maintained after the initial creation process. Some fields cannot be changed
after creation (i.e. material number) and some should not be changed without proper precautions.

To change a material master record, the data for the view the user wants to change must already be maintained.
Note that to add a view or extend a material to a new plant/sales organisation, the “Create Material” transaction is used
rather than the “Change Material” transaction.

Input-Required Fields Field Value/Comments

Material Material Number

Output - Results Comments

Material Master View (s) changed Chosen view in Material Master will change

Tips and Tricks

When selecting view for change, it is possible to avoid time and effort, by clicking on right mouse button
and use “Select All” rather than indicating each view button

When changing material master views you can proceed in a linear fashion between views by pressing
“Enter” key or pressing Check mark key. By pressing the view tabs you can control progression through
views as per your preference.

The Views that you use will drive the “Organizational level” pop-up window and it’s fields.

To set user defaults for views and organizational levels follow these steps:

Views:
 Menus: Defaults >> Views
 Select those views to be checked on by default when generating a new material. Select ‘View
selection only on request’ when the select view pop-up is to be by-passed unless selected.

Organizational levels:
 Menus: Defaults >> organizational levels
 Enter those organizational levels to be defaulted when generating a new material. Select ‘Org.
levels/profiles only on request’ when the select view pop-up is to be by-passed unless selected.
