The views that we selected on the first pop-up window will be marked with a circle icon next to titles of tabs. Each tab corresponds to one the views of a material master. Next, the system will take to the main screen of MM01 transaction that consists of a number of tabs. Select Organizational Levels for SAP Material Master In our example, it is necessary to provide plant and storage location where the material master will be created. The SAP system will display one more pop-up window where you should choose organizational levels at which the material master will be created. In our example, let’s choose Basic data 1, Purchasing, General Plant Data / Storage 1, and Accounting 1 views. Next, hit Enter button on the keyboard.Ī pop-up window will appear where you should choose the views of a material master that you would like to maintain. Also, you should choose Industry Sector and Material type. If a material number is managed internally, then you don’t need to provide number because the SAP system will generate its own number when you save the material master record. In our case, material number is externally managed. On the initial screen of MM01 transaction you need to provide a material number.
Maintenance basic data sap code#
To create a material master, you should use the transaction code MM01. We use transaction MM06 for this purpose.Ĭhanges to material master records can also be performed collectively (to save time) using the mass maintenance function through the transaction MASS.

It can be done at different levels (e.g., plant or purchasing organization) or it can be done for all levels by flagging the material for deletion at the client level. If a material is no longer required, you should flag it for deletion. If certain details of a material which already exists in the system need to be changed (e.g., material group or purchasing group) you should change the material through the transaction MM02. You extend material master through the transaction code MM01. You extend material master to additional organizational levels (e.g., plant or storage location) and provide the necessary information there. There are three main types of possible changes: If a material already exists in SAP but some changes are necessary, then a business user will request the master data team to modify the existing material. If a material is not available in the SAP system, a business user will request a department/person responsible for master data to create a new material master record in the system.


This helps to manage materials with different properties/requirements. These characteristics enable us to customize material master records for different types of materials by activating or hiding various fields in SAP System.
