SAP SD & MM Integration:

2009-06-03T09:11:00.000-07:00

It is very important for both SD & MM consultant to understand the SD-MM integration in SAP. Appended below is the step by step approach towards this customization.

All standard SAP Item category groups are available in pop box under the field Item category group of material master in Sales Org View 2. Depending on the item category group selected in the material master, the system automatically proposes an item category in the sales document.

Item category group (NORM or BANS) is nothing but grouping of different materials based on item categories (TAS or TAN) usedduring the processing of sales documents.

NORM (Standard Items),

BANS (Third Party Items),

NLAG (Non Stock Material),

VERP (Packaging),

DEIN (Service without delivery) are some of the examples of Item category group available in the standard SAP.

These all item category group are assigned to different material types for item category determination from the SD view.

With reference to any of this, we can create new Item category group or groups and same needs to be assigned to required material type in SPRO.

This assignment will be as follows:-
