MATERIAL GROUP CREATION

Characteristics Management: T-Code- CT04

Characteristic Profile: T-Codes: Creation: CLWE Change: CLWF Display: CLWG

1) Enter the name of the profile that will have the characteristics (created in Step 1) created for a material group.

2) Enter the description of the profile that has to be created in the Basic Data tab.

3) In the Char. Tab, enter the characteristics that have been already created in Characteristics Management (CT04) to assign specific color, sizes etc to this profile. 4) Enter 2 in the Relevancy Indicator(R). 5) SAVE.

Material Group Hierarchy LevelT-Codes: Creation-CLWM Change-CLWN Display-CLWO

1) Enter the name of the level that you would want in your hierarchy. For e.g. - Girls Outer Wear can be abbreviated as GOW, similarly BOW for Boys outer wear. All such hierarchy levels except the actual material group are to be first created through this transaction. For e.g. - Apart from GOW and BOW, B-FASHION can be a hierarchy level signifying the level Barbie-Fashion.

2) The description field is mandatory for all levels that are created. In the above case, FOW may stand for Fashion outer wear for example sake.

3) Next, in the char. Tab, assignments of characteristics (Sizes and colors) which are already been created in Characteristics Management (CT04) is done. Enter 2 as the Relevancy Indicator(R). 4) SAVE. Material Hierarchy level FOW will be created.

Material Group Hierarchy Assignment T-Codes: Creation: CLW1 Display: CLW2

1) Mention the level to which you would want other levels to be assigned to. The Level which you mention here shall act as the parent level for other levels that are assigned to it in this transaction later.

Material Group: Creation- WG21 Change- WG22 Display- WG23

1) In this, enter the material group name (M-FS-TSL), MG hierarchy level (M-Fashion), Characteristic Profile (SCIL-GOW). Apart from material group, all other data is created above.

2) Enter both the description fields as shown. Check the boxes for both the hierarchy levels for reporting purposes. Now, the material group will be assigned to the hierarchy level M-Fashion which in turn can be assigned to some other higher level, in this case SOW. Enter the division as required. The MG ref. Material field is to be entered with the material which will be used as a reference for this material group. Creating a reference material can be done only during the process of material group creation i.e. T-Code-WG21 which will be followed in this manual after this step.

NOTE: Reference Material creation is one time process generally, after which all the material groups are assigned the same reference material number at the above shown (yellow) field.

3) Click SAVE.

1) Click SAVE again
