Same material code but two variants.

[#1]

Dear SAP Experts,

Greetings from Dubai !

I am abrar, working currently under MM- WM Module.

Question: The Ingredients printed on a material ( say bottle) has been changed because of some legal requirements, Since we had created only one material code at the time of initial receipts. Both new and old prints have been entered under the same material code, How to separate the these two variants in sap?

Hope for a quick response !

you have not much options.

you can either create a new material master for the new prints, and then you move the portion of stock with movement type 309 to the new material.

Within one material you would only have the option of batch management or split valuation to separate variants of one material.

Split valuation is usually by nature more  finance related, batches are a logistics thing.

Switching on is easier than off (almost impossible - hence think !!!) but still a bigger act for existing materials.

the quickest method is certainly a new material.
