Transaction Code OX14
Configuration DescriptionHere we specify the level at which material stocks
are valuated. We have used the Plant level since the
application component Production Planning (PP) and
Costing are being used.
• Depending on the valuation level chosen,
accounting data (in particular the valuation price)is maintained for each plant or for each companycode in the material master record.
• If material stocks are valuated at company codelevel, all plant stocks of a material are managed ina joint stock account for each company code.
• If material stocks are valuated at plant level, thematerial stocks for each plant can be managedin different accounts. We can define a separateaccount determination for each plant.

Transaction Code MMNR
SAP MM Configuration
Generated by Jive on 2016-01-08+01:008
Configuration DescriptionIn this step, we have defined the type of number
assignment and the number range intervals for
material master records. When creating a material
master record, system must assign it a unique
number. There are two ways of doing this:• internal number assignment
In this case, a number within the number range
interval allowed is assigned by the SAP system.• external number assignment
Here, the user assigns a number within the numberrange interval allowed. We can define the intervalsfor external number assignment numerically andalphanumerically.We have defined the number range intervals for so-
called groups. We assign one or more material types
to each group.• If we assign just one material type to a group,
we can define both an internal and an externalnumber range interval for the material type.
• If we group together more than one material type,we can define an internal and an external numberrange interval here too. This allows severalmaterial types to have the same number rangeintervals.
4.6 Define Attributes of system messages
Menu path 1. Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing(IMG) ® Logistics - General à Material Masterà Basic Settingsà Define Attributes of systemmessages
Transaction Code OMT4
Configuration DescriptionWhen processing material master records, the system
issues a number of system messages containing
important user information. In this activity, we define
how the SAP system handles these messages. We
have the following options:• The message can be suppressed.• The message can be displayed as a warning.

at a level other than plants i.e. either of Storage
location / at Subcontractor level.
An MRP area represents an organizational unit for
which we can perform material requirements planning
separately.
An MRP area can include one or several storage
locations of a plant or a subcontractor. We can define
MRP areas in a plant.

Transaction Code SCAL
Configuration DescriptionHere we define the MRP areas for a plant for which
we would like to carry out material requirements
planning separately.
When creating an MRP area, we enter the number,
which must have at least 5 digits to avoid any
overlapping with the plant MRP area, the description
and the MRP area type
In case of ITZ we have not defined MRP area
Important : If MRP area is activated Conversion of
Planning file entries needs to be run in every new
System Client through Report RMDBVM00 in Txn :
SE38
The conversion report causes the system to create
a new planning file. In addition, the system creates
MRP area for the existing plants. These MRP areas
do not, however, affect the way material requirements
planning is carried out. The number for plant MRP
areas is identical to the plant number and therefore
consists of four digits.
The conversion of the current planning file (table
MDVM) to the new planning file (table DBVM) is a
prerequisite for carrying out material requirements
planning with MRP areas.

system searches through the condition tables when
searching for particular condition records. The search
order goes from specific condition records to general
condition records.1. E.G.
Access sequence is made up of condition table (the
level at which data is stored)
In the access sequence shown system will search for
the record from first to last table in sequence. (e.g.
if Custom duty % for a material is maintained at all
the three levels i.e. Incoterms-plant-maerial / Plant-
Material / Plant-Material Type level , then system
will take the record from 1st available level only i.e.
Incoterms-plant-maerial in this case)
Each condition table is defined as an combination
of fields for data access and is assigned to different
condition types ( In case of ITZ , we are not

Distribution (SD) area as a pricing procedure.
In the calculation schema (pricing procedure), we
specify which condition types are to be taken into
account in which sequence.
In the price (or cost) determination process, the SAP
System automatically determines which calculation
schema is valid for a business transaction and takes
into account, one after another, the condition types it
contains.

inventory differences are posted from the Warehouse
Management System. These inventory differences
are thereby documented in Inventory Management
with a physical inventory document.
In order to create an inventory document in addition
to a material document for a goods movement, the
following conditions must be met:
In the plant, we must define the transaction/event

inventory documents.
We must define the document number assignment for
this transaction/event type.
Automatic generation of physical inventory
documents must be allowed for the movement type.

SAP MM Configuration
Generated by Jive on 2016-01-08+01:0069
When processing a goods receipt, the system checks
each item to determine whether the goods receipt
varies from the purchase order or the material master
data.
The different types of variances are defined by
tolerance keys. For each tolerance key, tolerance
limits can be set per company code.
The following variances are checked in Inventory
Management:
• Variance in the purchase order price quantity
(Explanation)
For this variance, two tolerance keys are provided:• • Tolerance key B1 (error message)
• We use tolerance key B1 to define themaximum percentage variance. If the varianceis greater than the maximum variance, thesystem creates an error message. The usercannot post the goods receipt.
• Tolerance key B2 (warning message)• Tolerance key B2 defines the percentage
variance from which a warning message isto be issued. It is possible to post the goodsreceipt.
• Variance for the moving average price of thematerial
(Explanation)We use tolerance key VP to define the percentage
variance from which a warning message is issued.
This warning message indicates a price change.
