The document provides technical details about material masters, bills of material (BOM), and menu paths in SAP. It includes tables for material master and BOM management, user exits for material number assignment, frequently used menu paths for activities like maintenance and engineering, and data transfer programs. It also discusses using ALE (Application Link Enabling) for distributed product data and engineering BOMs across multiple SAP systems.

Material Master User Exits: Number Assignment (I)
 Internal Number Assignment
Number assigned when you create material, not when you save it.
 Customer Enhancement MGA00001
(Exit: EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001, module MATERIAL_UPDATE_ALL)
Completes checks for customer-specific fields.
Extends checks for existing fields.
Can change material data (restricted).
Example: enter basic material, material group, and consecutive number as
material description.

Material Master User Exits: Number Assignment (II)
 Customer Enhancement MGA00002
(Exit: EXIT_SAPLMG02_001 for internal number assignment, module
MATERIAL_NUMBER_GET)
Influences internal material number assignment:
 Internal number changed by customer program. Example: program takes
internal material number from number range, attaches it to the material
type, and saves the new number.
(Exit: EXIT_SAPLMG02_002 for external number assignment, module
MATERIAL_NUMBER_GET)
Influences external material number assignment:
 External number changed by customer program. Example: program adds
check digit to external material number.

 SAP provides the file layout for each master file.
 The user must create an SAP master file using the file layout provided and then write a conversion
program to extract the legacy system data and transfer it into the SAP master file in the SAP format.
 Once in an SAP format the user can update the SAP database using the direct input or batch input
process.
 Regardless of the input process used, the SAP System performs its normal data validation routines.
 The data transfer process is covered in course BC420.

 To use an SAP System with special Customizing as a PDM system
 To use ALE for any necessary data transferal between SAP PDM and SAP ERP
 Advantages:
 Independent release upgrades
 Distributed load on the system
 Heterogeneous SAP System infrastructure possible

 In the standard SAP System, a list profile is defined for every reporting function. This is copied as
the default value for the display profiles. You can create a new profile by using a standard profile.
 The name of your own list profile must not begin with 'SAP'.
 You cannot change standard profiles.
 The number of display blocks in your profile must be the same as the number of blocks in the
corresponding standard profile.
 The number of selection fields for each display block is determined by the maximum display block.
 Naming conventions for standard profiles:
Example: Explosion of the single-level BOM SAPCSLBLMP01
SAP = Standard,
CS = BOM
LBL = Level by Level => BOM level-by-level
MLV = Multi-level => Multi-level structure
WSD = Where used => Usage
SMX = Summarized explosion => Summarized BOM
M = Material D = Document
P01 = First profile P02 = Corresponds to formatting in R/2

 The screen layout is divided into the elements: Toolbar, Cockpit and Overview Screen.
 The Toolbar provides the user with currently available functions at the touch of a button.
 The Cockpit is always available in the Engineering Workbench and controls the Engineering
Workbench. It consists of three areas:
 Process using, for the entry of the key dates or of the change number, in order to process the
objects in the worklist. The entry of a key date or a change number is necessary when an object
has to be created, changed or deleted.
 Effectivity window, in order to display a particular time segment of the worklist.
 Context, to display the hierarchical relationship of objects in the overview screen. In this slide
there is an input line for each material, BOM and item.
 The Overview Screen lists objects that are contained in the worklist and that match the entries in the
validity window and in the context. It provides information about the object and change status of a
particular object type.

 The work center operation set is a summarized reference operation set and can no longer be
exploded in a routing. It is a subordinated work center that is necessary for the standard value
summarization - the standard value summarization has to be triggered manually. Detailed operation
descriptions along with executed work centers are no longer contained in the work center operation
set. You can manually overwrite the summarized standard values.
 No objects can be assigned to a work center operation set - these are transferred from a reference
operation set.
