Why do You Need Material Types in MM?


One way to group materials is by Material Type (the other being by Industry Sector). This grouping helps determine what information or data is to be made available at the material master level for a particular material.

The material type (for example, FERT, HAWA, HALB, ROH, and so on) is used to control:
􀂃 Which Views can be maintained on the master record
􀂃 Which Fields are mandatory, optional, or for display only in the material master
􀂃 What kind of Procurement is allowed for that material (internal or external or both)
􀂃 How to Number (Internal/External) and what Number Range is allowed
􀂃 Whether Quantity and/or Value updating should be done in a particular Valuation Area
􀂃 Which GL Accounts will be posted to (via the Valuation Class) during goods movement
􀂃 The default Item Category Group (S&D)
􀂃 The default Price Control Indicator (S or V) and
􀂃 Whether the default Price Control Indicator is changeable during material master
