Material classification

[#1]

Scenario:

A company procures different metals as raw material for production.

Metals include Copper, Brass, Silver.

Within Copper there are 3 grades: G1, G2 & G3

In Brass & Silver also there are 4 grades each.

If I want to get the report of price & quantity of Copper of grade G1 in Plant/storage Location, then how shall I define/classify the materials (in Material types, material groups etc) so that I get the desired report.

Hi,

Activate batch management and consider each grade as one batch.

Hope it helps.

Hi

If youo use split valuation, you can define valuation category as grades. for each grades you can define different prices.

Hi

If you have different materials for different grades, then why do you need to go for classification. You can have materials for each grade.

Otherwise please explain me your requirement in detail.

I have reporting requirement at 'raw material' at 'metal' levels so I want to have the following classif:

Material Type: Raw material

Material group: Metals

???????: Grades of respective metals.

How will I capture/distingush the grades?

But at times I also require report for 'copper' also (ie report for individual materials also)

So How shall I classify the materials?

Hi VS

I feel you can activate batch management and assign batch classification (023) in material master,

Create charatcterstic grade and assign class grade. You can enter grade at the of time goods movement.

hope it helps.
