Prerequisites for Material Determination
Material determination control is carried out
using the condition technique explained in detail in the example of pricing or
output determination. You will find further information on the condition
technique in the "SD Pricing and Conditions" manual.
The following elements of condition technique
work together when controlling material determination:
- The
condition table determines the combination of the fields required
for creating a master record for material determination. The standard R/3
system contains Table 001 which specifies that master records for material
determination contain the field "Material entered".
- The
access sequence is a search strategy which the system uses to
search for valid condition records for each condition type. The access
sequence refers to the fields for material determination via the condition
tables which are contained in the access sequence. Condition type A001 is set
up in the standard R/3 system.
- The
condition type defines the material determination type. Condition
type A001 is set up in the standard R/3 system.
- Procedures determine the condition types to be
used for material determination. Procedure A00001 is set up in the standard
R/3 system and contains Condition type A001. Thus, in case of material
determination, only condition records of Condition type A001 are
checked.
Note
In a delivery referring to an order, material
determination is carried out subject to the sales document type on which it is
based. Material determination in a delivery is carried out for new items if
material determination has been activated for the underlying sales document
type. No material determination is carried out for items copied from the
order. You have to assign an appropriate material determination procedure (in
the standard R/3 system, it is A00001) to the Sales document type DL so that
material determination can be carried out in deliveries without reference to
an order (LO).
Requirements
Material determination can only be carried out
in sales document types set up in Customizing for material
determination.
Actions
Check whether you can copy the material
determination elements defined in the standard R/3 system. If you make
adjustments, proceed as follows:
1. Define the
condition table or copy the existing table and make the necessary adjustments
according to your requirements.
2. If the
defined fields are not sufficient, add to the list of allowed fields for
material determination through the field catalog.
Keep in mind that
errors which you want to add must be defined in the communication tables
KOMKD, KOMPD or KOMGD.
Notes
For a description of how data is provided in
these fields via user exits, see Customizing, Sales and
distribution -> System Modification -> User exits -> User exits in
Sales -> User exits in sales document processing.
1. Define the
access sequence and assign a condition table to it.
2. Define the
material determination type and assign an access sequence to it.
3. Define the
procedures and assign the corresponding types to them.
