Hi ,

What is the material type do we require in handling CS scenario?

Is it necessary to create BOM's for all the equipment?

Please respond

Thanks and Regards

Ashish,

CS - if you meant Cash Sale , we dont need to have any special material type for it. Cash sale is just one more variety of a sales process where in a delivery document is triggered on saving the order. PGI is carried out later sometimes even through some batch job.

equipment - if its something involving sales components you might need to setup like a sales BOM. Otherwise its not mandatory to have a BOM for everything. And generally BOM are used most in PP.

hi

1) A grouping together of materials with the same basic attributes such as raw materials, semifinished products, or finished products.

All materials must be assigned to a material type which determines:

Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose such as a configurable material or process material

Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally

The number range from which the material number is drawn

Which screens appear and in what sequence

Which user department data you may enter

What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both.
