Equivalent Material Code

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have one requirement as follows.

Technically materials are same. But it has different code and descriptions. When we check the material system should show other material in stock.

Example:

We have material X, Y Z

These materials are technically same specification. But It has different material codes.

When we check Material X in system, if not in stock, immediately system should show other stock Y & Z material if stock available.

how do we do in standard configuration?

thanks

Hi,

As material is same and specifications are different- Better go for ONE material code creation and then go for Split valuation( keep 3 valuation types which you procure from different 3 vendors from market)  or for Batch Management( have 3 batches for different specifications.

Hi Bijay,

If Technical specification of material X,Y & Z are same and Z is required to attend a compliant, then ideally system should check the total of X+Y+Z before declaring the stock is not available.

How do we achieve thru Batch Management/

Thanks

All you need to activate batch at either plant level or material level or client level. Once it is activated any of these level can't be modified ( careful observation is needed )

Create class using T code: CL01:

Material 1 = X1

Material 2 = Y1

Material 3 = Z1

Class Type: 001 (Material Class)

Enter the Class and the Class type, choose and enter the details by maintaining other tabs:

Basic data, Keywords, Char , Texts, Document, Std

and save it.

After that,

Material Master Creation:

By using MM01,

Classification screen, enter class 'X1'  input field class and choose enter.

choose save.

Classification screen, enter class 'Y1'  input field class and choose enter.

Choose save.

Classification screen, enter class 'Z1'  input field class and choose enter.

choose save.

Thanks,
