1. Material Master Process using
Adobe forms

2. INTRODUCTION
• In one of the ArchitectSAP Solution’s client’s
project the SAP Support Consultant have
implemented the Material Master process of
create, extend, modify and delete a material
using Interactive Adobe forms, Webdynpro ABAP
and Module pool programming.
• In this blog the SAP BASIS Support consultant will
take an example of Material creation scenario
and will go through the existing process, new
process for Material Creation.

3. Earlier Process
The earlier process consists of two Groups :
1. Material Requester : Will be in charge of collecting the points of interest for the material
creation from the client and filling up an excel sheet and physically messaging it to the
Master Data Manager for further preparing.
2. Master Data Manager :Will be in charge of checking the filled up excel sheet, check for
duplicates through transaction Mm03, Mm60 and physically making material in SAP through
transaction Mm01. On finish, administrator will physically send a mail to the client with the
Material Number produced.
This process was considered irrelevant and unsupportive with respect to SAP Migration by
ArchitectSAP Solution Consultant.

4. New Process
The new process also consists of two Groups but the responsibilities of each group is
enhanced :
1. Material requester :The client will straightforwardly fill up an adobe form which is
available in an ABAP Webdynpro requisition. The form will have all the points of interest
fundamental for making a material. The form will be submitted and in return client will
accept the solicitation number. On submit the information will be put away in the tables in
ECC and a mail will be naturally send to the master data manager informing another
solicitation has been made for material creation.
2. Master Data Manager : Master Data Manager will execute a transaction code created by
a module pool report which will be used to process the request. Using the report, manager
can search for duplicates, copy records from other materials and create a material. Once
created mail will be send automatically to the user with the material number generated.

Master data manager.
