Material determination

Definition

Determines whether the field is relevant for material determination.

Use

If you set the indicator, the characteristic is relevant for material determination. This means that it is available when determining the criteria for material determination that you can maintain in the dynamic item processor profile.

If you do not set the indicator, the characteristic is not relevant for material determination and is not available when maintaining the criteria for material determination.

Procedure

Make sure that the assignment of a set to a material is unique.

Examples

Characteristic Activity type is relevant for material determination. This means that you can assign sets to the activity type in Customizing under Material determination criteria.

The following data is maintained in the material determination:

Set for activity type Material
Set with actvty 1 Mat 1
Set with actvty 2 and actvty 3 Mat 2

The system creates the following dynamic items and assigns the corresponding materials, based on the materials that are assigned to the sets for activity types:

Dynamic item Activity type Material found
12 h Activity 1 Mat 1
5 h Activity 2 Mat 2
1 h Activity 3 Mat 2
