Hi

MATNR field holds the SAP side Values for the product/material

where as Before SAP implementation customer might be using some other name for that Material, so it is his name that is entered in KDMAT field

Hi,

the field KDMAT indicates the material number maintained at the customer place..

the field MATNR indicates the material number maintained in the company..

Lets say the material is benz car..

in the customer place the material number is BENZCAR01

In our company the same benz number will be maintained in a different number..123-456.

So looking from our system the value BENZCAR01 is the customer material number

Thanks

Hi,

MATNR - Material Number Given by the Company.

KDMAT - Material Number Used by the Customer.

Hi,

In our company..there is configuration to map customer material number with our material number..

you can use material determination technique..

If you enter the customer material number...Then using the material determination technique the our company material will be pulled..

check the transaction VD51 to enter customer material info..

Also you use VB11 to map the details
