Hi

Industry sector and material type controls the screen sequence in material master

e.g. if u have service item it does not requires inventory /storage/warehouse information . where as for finished product u require these datas.

These acn be controlled in IMG -->Logistics general -->Material master --.basic settings

<b> Pls refer below</b>

Define whether a field is hidden or displayed, or whether an entry is mandatory or optional in material master maintenance by assigning the field to a field selection group in OMSR.

Each field selection group has a number between 1 and 240.

The values of the field selection groups have been preassigned as follows:

001-110 Material master for industry

111-120 Reserved for customers (except where the values are already in use)

121-150 Material master for industry

151-210 Material master for retail

211-240 Reserved for customers

Create and maintain field references (OMS9).

All the fields in the same fields group will have the same field selection option.

(hide, display, required entry, or optional entry)

You can see where a field reference is used by choosing Where-used list.

Define or change the field references as required (except for field references with the prefix SAP which must not be changed). New field references must begin with Y or Z.
