what is cust material information ?

Dear deva
Data on a material defined for one specific customer is stored in the customer material information records. This data includes
the customer-specific material number
the customer-specific material description
customer-specific data on deliveries and delivery tolerances
If, for example, one of your customers uses a number for a material, which differs from the number your company uses to identify it, you can store the material number used by the customer in the customer material information record.
During order entry, items can be entered by specifying the material number used by the customer. You also enter a customer material number in the order view of the sales order. You can then use both material numbers during the order entry, the material number your company uses or the one defined by the customer, because the system can carry out allocation automatically.
Data on the delivery and the individual delivery tolerances agreed upon with the customer for the material in question can also be checked and transferred to the sales order item.
You can also store a text in the customer material information record. It is copied to the relevant SD document items during text determination. In Customizing, the text type Customer Material Text is provided for this.
Thanks

    Hi,
    the transaction for maintaining the customer material inforecord is VD51.Data on a material defined for one specific customer is stored in the customer material information records.
    Features:
    During order entry, items can be entered by specifying the material number used by the customer. You also enter a customer material number in the order view of the sales order. You can then use both material numbers during the order entry, the material number your company uses or the one defined by the customer, because the system can carry out allocation automatically.
    If you maintain the plant in the customer material info record, the system will give priority for the plant maintained in the CMIR in the order.

  • What is menat by BOM?  purpose of its?

    what is menat by BOM?  purpose of its?

    Hi,
    BOM is the bill of material .Sales BOM
    A bill of material (BOM) describes the different components that together create a product. A BOM for a bicycle, for example, consists of all the parts that make up the bicycle: the frame, the saddle, wheels, and so on.
    When you enter the material number of a bill of materials that is relevant for sales order processing, the system displays the material that describes the whole bill of materials as a main item. The individual components are displayed as lower-level items.
    There are two ways to process a bill of materials in Sales. Once you have entered a bill of material in a sales order, the system runs pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at: Main item level if the material is assembled, or - Component level if the material is not assembled.
    *Processing at Main Item Level (ERLA)*
    If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at main item level, enter ERLA in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. This means that the components only function as text items and are not relevant for delivery.
    Processing at Component Level (LUMF)
               If you want the system to carry out pricing, inventory control, and delivery processing at the component level, enter LUMF in the Item category group field of the Sales: sales org. 2 screen in the material master record of the finished product. In this case, only the components are relevant for delivery. During processing the system automatically creates a delivery group. The latest delivery date among all the components becomes the delivery date for the entire delivery group

    ·     It is also possible to enter a class as a BOM component with item category ‘class Item’. This class must hold all characteristics and also classified with each material.
    ·     Class type 200 and 300 can be used as a class item.

    – Class types

  • What kind of material type i should use?

    Dear all,
    I am wondering what kind of material type I should use for the following type of material:
    The material is Chicken used in like KFC- type of eatery franchise store.
    The eatery franchise store buy the chicken from external party, next, this store process this chicken (i.e. cut into pieces) and become chicken salad and sell this chicken salad to their consumer.
    Personally, I donu2019t think this kind of material can be classified as HAWA (i.e. trading mat type) as the material is not buying and later selling as a same physical product like the retail store.
    But it is buy and process it, and sell.
    Please help shed some light for me. Thanks.
    tuff

    Hi we have not using SAP, it is a new project.
    kindly please read my question carefully...
    basically it is like this...
    the chicken the restaurant chain purchased are later process into multiple meal dishes (i.e. Salad Chicken, Chicken with rice, Roast Chicken), and sell to customer directly.
    Therefore, looking at your feedback, I can use the SEMI-FG material type for the Chicken for the buying, correct?
    But this raise another question in which how do I track the goods issue quantity when the meal dishes is sold, so that my Chicken stock quantity can reflect correctly in the SAP system?
    currently they are not using BOM as the franchise holder does not wish to disclose the meal ingredient scret (i.e BOM) to their invidual franchise store.
    please advise. thanks
    Thanks.

  • What is vofm transaction for which purpose it is used

    hi gurus
    can anyone suggest me
    what is vofm transaction for which purpose it is used
    in smartforms
    thanks&regards
    kals.

    Hi ,
    VOFM is the transaction where you can maintain Requirement routines, which are assigned through cusomization.
    To create a routine you need access key & routine no. starts with "9".for ex. 901,902 etc.
    one important thing to note that even if you have some syntax errors inside your routine, it will get activated without errors. So, you need to do Main Program check before activation.
    Refer to SAP Note no : 327220,381348,156230.

  • I want to know at what date current material period is opened

    I want to know at what date current material period is opened
    How I can find this.

    Hi,
    Its all depends on business and business owner decision. There are few options available by business and company follows it.
    Option- > 1: Few Companies follows it strictly by having a u201CScheduled Programu201D for background job for closing period /opening new period at by sharp time (31st mid night at 12.00AM ie,.,,,,,,1st date of  1st minutes of the month)
    Option- > 2: Few Companies follows every month 1st day or as per business needs all transaction needs to be posted till 1st day till 6.00PM
    Option- > 3: Few Companies follows to wait two or three days every month as per business needs all last month transaction needs to posted.
    You can cross check the details of new opening period with date of opening  in MMRV table in t.code: SE16
    NOTE: Do not reset anything in OMSY. In OMSY setting is done once for all to company code for material management.

  • In VKOA .. what are customer , material groups

    hi ,
         in the tcode VKOA what are customer and material groups
    where to see customer groups and material groups.....
    and when PGI is done what happens to the costing document
    thanks
    mmn
    rewards for sure

    Hi,
    Customer group is different from customer account assignment group. I have explained you about the customer account group.
    <b>Customer group:</b>
    Identifies a particular group of customers (for example, wholesale or retail) for the purpose of pricing or generating statistics.
    <b>Use</b>
    You can freely define customer groups according to the needs of your organization. You assign a customer group to an individual customer in either the customer master record of the sold-to party or in the sales document. In SD Customizing, you can create a condition type that lets you create pricing records for customer groups. Additionally, when you want to generate sales statistics, you can use customer groups as one of the selection criteria.
    <b>Procedure</b>
    The system can propose a value from the customer master record. You can change the value manually in the document.
    Customer group you will find in - XD01 - sales area data - sales screen
    Customer account assignment group you will find in - XD01 - sales area data - billing screen.
    Similarly material group and mateial account assignment group are both different. Material account assignment group I have explained earlier.
    <b>Material group:</b>
    Key that you use to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign them to a particular material group.
    <b>Use</b>
    You can use material groups to:
    Restrict the scope of analyses
    Search specifically for material master records via search helps
    Material group you will find in - MM01 - Basic data 1 screen
    Material account assignment group  you will find in - MM01 - Sales:Sales Org. 2 screen.

    Allabaqsh G. Patil
