Manufacturer Part Number(MPN)

1 Overview One material code in your company is known with different names by different manufacturer. You want to mention the manufacturer part number while raising the Purchase order for relevant manufacturer, but still want to maintain the stock with only one internal material code. You can use the MPN functionality.

For example: A screw "Hardware, screw, machine, 4-40, ¾ inch long, pan head, Phillips":

It is defined as material code “HSC0424PP" in SAP by your company. The same screw is known with different nomenclature by different manufacturer

Manufacturer LPS uses part number "4-40-3/4-Pan-Phil", Manufacturer Modern Screws uses part number "100-440-750-3434-A". Manufacturer Canco fastener uses part number "TSR-1002".

Now you want to mention the “TSR-1002” in PO when you raise PO for material "HSC0424PP" for Manufacturer Canco Fastener. In this way manufacturer Canco Fastener will receive PO for material “"TSR-1002", but you will receive stock with material “HSC0424PP".

4 Customizing settings

4.2 Define Manufacturer Part Profile

Manufacturer part profiles (MPN profiles) allow you to specify for each of your firm’s own materials the conditions under which the MPN material may be used in the procurement process.

Using the MPN profile, you can determine the following, for example:

Whether the MPN material has to be entered in the purchase order.

Whether purchasing info records are created for the firm’s own material or for the MPN materials.

Whether the PO text for the firm’s own material or the one for the MPN material is used.

Whether the MPN material may be changed during the procurement process.

Whether the system is to check the approved manufacturer parts list when an MPN material is entered. You define the MPN profiles in Customizing for Purchasing under Material Master.
