Material Consumption Documentation With MM Integration

You can use the material consumption documentation with integration in Materials Management (MM integration). If you use the material consumption documentation with MM integration, you can manage the stock of the material in the Materials Management component.

Prerequisites

The basic data administration of the material consumption documentation in the clinical system with MM integration requires completed customizing of materials management.

Procedure

You must have stored the following settings in customizing:

Maintain the basic settings.
You can find detailed information in the Implementation Guide under SAP Healthcare - Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Integration with Materials Management Maintain Basic Settings .
Assign company codes to the institutions.
You can find detailed information in the implementation guide under SAP Healthcare - Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Basic Settings Create Institution .
Assign plants to the institutions.
You can assign plants from which materials can be requested to each institution. The institutions and the plants must have the same company code.

You can find detailed information in the implementation guide under Industry-Specific Component for Hospitals Integration with Materials Management Assign Plants to Institutions .
Assign a care unit storeroom to the organizational units.
In order to be able to post consumed materials from the storeroom, you must assign a care unit storeroom and a plant to the nursing organizational unit. Assign the care unit storage location and the plant on the Other Data tab page when maintaining the appropriate OU master data. You can find information on the maintenance of organizational units under Organizational Units.
Create technical number ranges.
The material consumption documentation requires the following technical number ranges:
- Number range for material proposal (ISH_N1MLZU)
- Number range for materials for case (ISH_NMATV)
- Number range for dynamic material proposal (ISH_N1DYLM)
The number range intervals of the number ranges are institution-dependent. During number range interval maintenance you enter no institution and the object key * .

You can find detailed information on the creation of technical number ranges in the implementation guide under Industry-Specific Component for Hospitals Basic Settings Maintain Technical Number Ranges .
Define a material catalog.
A material catalog determines which materials you can use in an organizational unit.

For details, see Creating a Material Catalog.
Create a material.
If you wish to bill consumed material in SAP Patient Management (IS-H), you must also create the material in the clinical system.

For more information about creating the material catalog, see Creating a Material.
Configure a range of materials.
You must define a range of materials for each organizational unit for which you wish to use the material consumption documentation. The material range determines which material is consumed in the organizational unit. The material range is part of the service range. For details on creating the material range, see Service Range.
Enter a hierarchy definition for the input help (optional).
In the hierarchy definition, you establish the hierarchical structure for the input help which the user can access in the material consumption documentation.

For information about this, see the Implementation Guide under SAP Healthcare - Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Integration with Materials Management Maintain Basic Data Define Hierarchy for Input Help .
Create a material hit list.
You can create a material hit list for an OU with the materials used most often.

For information about this, see the Implementation Guide under SAP Healthcare - Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Integration with Materials Management Maintain Basic Data Define Material Proposal .
Configure the booking of materials from the stockroom.
Using material consumption documentation it is also possible to book materials from the stockroom. The stockroom indicator in the material master controls whether the material is booked from the stockroom. When material is booked from the stockroom, the system creates a material document when the material consumption documentation is completed.

You must enter the following:
- Set Up Transaction Call for Inventory Management
- Change transactions for movement type
  Change the transactions for the Goods Issue movement type for material consumption documentation.
  
  Create the following transactions for the movement type 261 (goods issue):
  - Clinical Work Station (NWP1)
  - Nursing Worklist (N1LP)
  - Maintain Matl Consumption (N1MATV)
  You can find detailed information on changing the allowed transactions in the implementation guide under Materials Management Inventory Management and Physical Inventory Copy, Change Movement Types .
- Assign a cost center to a nursing OU.
  You must define a cost center for the nursing OU.
  
  For information about this, see the Implementation Guide under SAP Healthcare - Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Integration with Controlling Assignments Assign Cost Centers to Organizational Units .
- Assign applications to the system.
  Specify that you use the Materials Management component for your system.
  
  For information about this, see the Implementation Guide under SAP Healthcare – Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals Basic Settings Configuration/Systems/Events Assign Systems to Applications .
Create a material proposal.
A material proposal defines the materials often consumed for a service and supports materials entry.

See also Create Material Proposal with MM Integration.
Define the system parameter N1MMAKT.
The institution-related, time-dependent system parameter N1MMAKT determines whether MM integration is active for an institution.

You can find detailed information in the implementation guide under Industry-Specific Component Clinical System IS-H*MED: Global Settings System Parameters Define Institution as Time-Dependent .
