Material Procurement 
Purpose
The Material Procurement function lets you reserve materials from the material master of the Materials Management component for your business events in Training and Event Management.
Prerequisites
· You must have the component Materials Management (MM) installed and have activated integration between it and Training and Event Management. You do so in Customizing for Training and Event Management under Integration ® Materials Management ® Integration Yes or No? or using the Wizard.
· There must be materials stored in the material master that you can access.
· There must be resource types that you can assign to the resource Material. The Availability Indicators infotype must be maintained for these:
Material indicator
Under Amount Available, specify per business event or per attendee
Under Alternative resource search, specify either the object type Material (under Objects of object type) or relationship A054 uses for attendee, or relationship A055 uses for business event + the object type Material (under Objects related with business event type).
If you use the second option under Alternative resource search (specification of relationship + object type), you must make two specifications for the business event type: specify the actual material that is required for the event and create the relationship with the resource type. This enables you to store a specific material number (training material, instructor manual and so on) with the business event type.
If you use materials that are required for attendees and materials required for business events, you must create two resources types for the resource Material. You must also make the relevant specifications for these in the Availability Indicators infotype.
· Attendees must be booked for events of this type.
· The business event must be in firmly booked status.

3. The report outputs the material requirements per business event in list form.
4. You reserve material by selecting a business event and choosing Reserve material.
5. The system checks material availability. Depending on the findings, it creates a reservation, a purchase requisition, or both in Materials Management.
6. A reference number is created for the reservation or requisition in Training and Event Management. You must update this reference number.
7. In the event of data inconsistencies (for example, due to missing organizational data), the system outputs an error log. You can use this log to correct errors, cancel the operation and start the report again.
8. If the reservation or purchase requisition runs without errors, you can double-click the reference number to display the original reservation document in Materials Management or the original purchase requisition document in Purchasing.
