The number of the business object to which the materials are linked.
Document Material Information (tcmpr1110m000)Use this session to view the materials and related price information for a particular business document.
Business Object The number of the business object to which the materials are linked. Business Object Reference A transaction identification more detailed than the business
object, for example, a receipt number or an order number. You can use the
reference during reconciliation to match transactions if the business object
alone does not provide enough information, for example, during GRNI
reconciliation. Note The business object reference is not the same as a reference link. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools
that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:
Line The line number that identifies a material. Material The substance of which an item is composed, such as wood,
nylon, copper, and gold. Content Quantity The quantity of a material that is part of an item. Quantity Unit The unit in which the item material content is expressed. Note An approved conversion factor must exist between the Quantity Unit in this session and the Quantity Unit in the Materials (tcmpr0110m000) session. Quantity Factor The number of units of the item on which the content quantity
is based. For an item that includes a small quantity of a material, such as 0.001 gram of gold, it can be useful to specify a factor such as 1000 in this field, which represents 1 gram per 1000 items. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is
recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Billable Quantity Factor The percentage of the material content quantity that is
actually billable. The billable quantity is calculated as follows: Billable quantity factor * content quantity Example
Base Price The fundamental price of a material, which is used as a basis
for computing material price surcharges. For materials with fluctuating prices, material base prices prevent high material surcharges and ensure realistic initial prices. Example For the item Copper Wire with Plastic Coating, the major part of the price includes the copper price. The minor part of the price includes the costs of the plastic coating and the production costs for coating the copper wire with the plastic. If one meter of plastic coated copper wire costs $8.00, the price parts would be as follows:
To prevent the initial price being low with only $1.022 and the (variable) material price surcharge being high with $6.978, you can specify an (approximate) material base price for copper of $6.500. As a result, the initial price is $7.522 (0.422 + 0.600 + 6.500) and the material price surcharge is $0.478 (6.978 - 6.500), which represent more realistic figures. Currency The currency in which the material base price is expressed. Price Unit The material's price unit. Note An approved conversion factor must exist between the Price Unit in this session and the Price Unit in the Materials (tcmpr0110m000) session. Default value The Price Unit field in the Material Base Prices (tcmpr0140m000) session. Total Base Price The total base price for the material, which is calculated based on the item material content and its billable quantity factor. Actual Price The real price of a material from a material exchange for a specific date. Total Actual Price The total actual price for the material, which is calculated based on the item material content and its billable quantity factor. Manual Actual Price If this check box is selected, you manually specified
or updated the material actual price. Note If this check box is selected, the material actual price is not overwritten during the redetermination process of actual prices. A manual actual price can be overwritten only if the Overwrite Manual Actual Prices check box is selected in the Price and Discount Recalculation Parameters (tdpcg0240s000) session during the process of redetermining material price information. Manual If this check box is selected, you manually added the
material, or manually updated any material information in this
session. Ignored If this check box is selected, the material must be
ignored and is not taken into account for the business document. As a result,
it is also excluded when redetermining material prices in the Price and Discount Recalculation Parameters (tdpcg0240s000) session. To ignore a material, click Ignore on the appropriate menu of this session. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Material Surcharge A surcharge on top of the material base price, which is
calculated by subtracting the material base price from the material actual price. Because material actual prices fluctuate, material price
surcharges vary.
Ignore Ignores the material for this business document. As a result,
the Ignored check box is selected for the material line.
