Hi,
Yes, it will ask acc.***.cat, because it is the character of UNBW material type and as you copy from UNBW material type and created New one.
Consumable materials with a material master record must also have an account assignment.Non-valuated material [Material type UNBW, This type of { low in value }material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis] are coming under consumable material.
Consumable materials are materials that are procured directly for an account assignment object.
1. They are not managed on a value basis in Inventory Management.
2. Examples of consumable material:
Office material like pen, paper, text books – assigned to a cost center
Computer systems, Water Purifier, Fire Alarm System – assigned to an asset
3. The system automatically updates consumption for materials that have a material master record.
Pl explore yourself on stock material and consumable material.
Hope helpful and then reward.
