This screen contains the following data:

Component data:

Material: The number of the material component you have selected.

Item: Item number of the component in your material list.

Item category: Such as stock item or non-stock item.

Status: Component status, such as Released.

Storage location: Storage location of material.

Batch: If the component is subject to batch management, you can enter the number here.

Plant: Plant in which your material component is stored.

Requirement date: Date by which the requested quantity of material is needed.

Sort string: String that can be defined for sorting components in the display.

Revision level: Indicates the change status of an object. You can assign the revision level to a change with reference to a change number.

Quantity data:

Requirements quantity: This is the amount you require of the individual component in order to produce the order quantity.

Unit of measure: This is the unit of measure in which stock of this material is managed.

Committed quantity: This is the quantity confirmed in the availability check.

Issue quantity: This is the component quantity already issued from stock for the order.

Final issue: This indicator is set automatically for a goods movement when the total reserved quantity has been withdrawn or delivered.

Co-product: Indicator showing that this material component is a co-product.

With co-product manufacturing, you can show the common production of different materials within one process order. This means that an order for several co-products describes the common production as well as specifying the common materials for the process.

Within a process order manufacturing co-products, these can be assigned to the operation or the phase in which they are processed.

The costs of an order are collected for the entire process and then can be distributed to the various co-products using an equivalence number or a percentage entry.

Process materials represent a material type for which no updating of inventory quantities or costs is required. Process materials are used as "starting points" for master recipes and process order in the production of co-products.

You will only be able to branch to the co-product screens if your component is marked as a co-product, both in the material master and in the material list.

In addition to the general data, this screen shows:

• Order item data:

• Tolerance data:

• Control data:

• Goods receipt data:

• Delivery data:

On this screen, you maintain the settlement rule.

When a process order is settled, the actual costs incurred for the order are settled to one or more receiver cost-objects (such as to the account for the material produced or to a sales order). Offsetting entries are generated automatically to credit the process order.

On this screen, you can enter the cost receivers to which you want to distribute the costs of production. The cost receiver can, for example, be a material or a cost center.

Under Receiver no., you enter the name of the settlement receiver, such as the name of the material.

You can either apportion the costs to the various settlement receivers using a percentage, or by entering an equivalence number. The costs of the order are then distributed proportionately to the settlement receivers.

You can only call up this screen for components with item category "N" (non-stock item).

You use this screen to maintain data for external procurement.

This screen is only relevant for components with the item category "T".

On this screen, you can enter general data for the component, as well as a descriptive text for the item.
