The processes of materials management are based on various types of basic data. This data can be maintained for materials, vendors etc. This basic data is stored in master records in the system. When processing business events and transactions, the system accesses master records and the data stored in them.

For Materials Management (MM), the master data used is:

·         MaterialMaster

Material Master


The purpose is to document how material master data will be created through SAP System. The material master data will be required for all activities related to inventory storage, accounting, production, sales and purchasing.

The material master contains information on all the materials that a company procures, stores, and sells. It is the company's central source for retrieving material-specific data. This information is stored in individual material master records.
