Reg: Multiple CMIR for 1 Material

Question

Dear Gurus,
Customer material info record can be maintained as one - to - one relation, But our client needs to maintain single material for multiple CMIR's. 1 customer will have different name as his part no, but it related to single FG.
Is there any way to achieve this requirement in standard SAP, or do we need to go for any Enhancements.
Please share your  ideas
Regards
Praveen.

Yes, you may be right.
But you can try with a field type that is same as MATNR but that is not checked against MARA, while creating condition table.
I found the below post from the thread, you may try : Material determination
The system is not delivered initially with the necessary configurations for enabling material determination. In order to make possible an automatic substitution when you create e.g. a sales order, the following configuration settings must be performed in SPRO:
1. Maintain Prerequisites for Material Determination -> Maintain access sequences should have the following value in the list: “A001 Material entered”
2. In the submenu Access sequences -> Accesses we should have the following values: “Access 10, table 1, description Material entered”
3. For the values above, the following fields must be defined: “Condition MATWA, Document structure KOMPD, Document field MATWA, Long field label Material entered”
4. In the menu Assign procedures to sales documents types the concerned document types (orders and quotations) must be assigned the material determination procedure A001.
5. And finally, in Define substitution reason, the corresponding substitution reasons must be activated.
Please follow these steps and you will get an automatic material substitution, even if the material entered is not in the database. The only material that has to be in the database is the substitution material.
