Material Handling Group (SAP Library - SSR - Service Station Retailing)

Material Handling Group

Use

You assign material handling groups to business locations to enable the system to determine:

The materials that are relevant for processing at a location
Whether uploaded meter readings should be used to create invoicing documents
Whether a material is owned by the oil company
Whether the upload of meter readings or POS data creates goods movements for a material
Whether a bill of material explosion should occur when goods movements are created for the material

Example

A material handling group may include a fuel for which billing documents are to be created, with meter readings providing the quantities that the service station partner is to be billed for. If you assign this material handling group to a business location, and also assign a process control group that specifies the processes required to enable billing of the service station partner, the system can create billing documents for sales of this material when the periodic claim process runs.
