Material
Master
In the
material master you maintain control data for the Warehouse
Management System (WMS). You can create material master data at the
warehouse number or the
storage type level:
Here you can
maintain data that supports putaway/pick strategies, and so on.
- Organizational Level "Storage
Type"
Here you can
maintain special features of a material -- relating to a storage type. These
features include, for example, the fixed bin assignment, the maximum storage
bin quantity, or the replenishment quantity. You only need the data at the
organizational level "Storage type" if this data is necessary for certain
strategies (for example, fixed storage bin) or transactions.
SAP
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you use the batch input
technique to automatically transfer the material master data.
You therefore use all the internal system
checks and ensure that only the correct data is transferred.
