R 213
G 209
B 209 • The material status determines how a material is handled (which transactions
R 150 are allowed / disallowed) in different applications and in business processes
G 140
B 140
like procurement, MRP, plant maintenance, costing, forecasting, etc.
R 60 • Cross-plant material status maintained in the Basic Data view applies to all
G 61
B 62
plants, but Plant-specific material status (MRP1 and Costing 1) override the
R 123
status in Basic Data
G 167
B 157 • Material status and its attributes are defined in configuration transaction OMS4

B 140
returned when performing the function
R 60
• Flag “B” (error): An error message is
G 61 returned when performing the function.
B 62
• Flag “<blank>”: No message (transaction
R 123
G 167 is allowed)
B 157
• Example: when material status is 40 (No
R 146
G 208 production, deplete stock) production
B 80
order should not be allowed to be
R 292
G0
created anymore
B0
• Flag “B” (error) is set for production order
R 255 in OMS4. Orders that are already setup

R 150 be allowed to be created
G 140
B 140 • Flag “B” (error) is set for this combination in OMS4
R 60 • When a user tries to create an order from transaction COR1 or via the MRP
G 61
B 62 run, an error message will be returned
R 123 • When material status is 20 (Development phase) production order should be
G 167
B 157 allowed to be created, but with a warning message to the user
R 146 • Flag “A” (warning) is set for this combination in OMS4
G 208
B 80
• COR1 / MRP run will issue a warning message
R 292
G0 • When material status is 30 (Commercial production) production order should be
B0
allowed to be created, with no messages
R 255
G 192 • Flag “<blank>” (no message) is set for this combination in OMS4
B0
• When material status is 40 (No production, deplete stock) production order
R 234
G 40 should not be allowed to be created anymore.

R 213
G 209
B 209 • Transaction-account modifier and valuation class drive the accounting entries
R 150 • Transaction key: determines general ledger accounts for posting
G 140
B 140 • Account modifier: differentiates account determination based on procedure
R 60
G 61
• Transaction keys are predefined in the SAP system and cannot be changed
B 62
• Purchase of raw materials:
R 123
G 167 • Configuration setup of transaction BSX (inventory posting) is responsible for
B 157
the inventory posting; WRX (GR/IR clearing account) for GR/IR posting
R 146
G 208 • When movement type 101 is used to record goods receipt for a purchase
B 80
order of raw material (valuation class 3000), the system looks up the GL
