RM-IRON-01 · ROH · bought
MM01
Because it's bought (not made), three settings define it: valuation class
3000 (raw materials), price control V (moving average — a bought price varies per delivery), procurement type F (external). Contrast with the billet/rebar you make (7900/7920, price control S) on Create the Production Materials.

| View | Field | Value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Data 1 | Description | Iron Ore Lump | The name shown on POs, stock lists, reports |
| Base Unit of Measure * | TO | Unit stock & value are kept in (tons); hard to change later | |
| Material Group * | 001 | Reporting/purchasing grouping; must exist (F4) | |
| Purchasing | Purchasing Group * | RMT | The buying desk responsible for raw materials |
| General Plant/Storage 1 | Storage conditions / etc. | (optional) | Warehouse handling rules — skip for learning |
| Accounting 1 | Valuation Class * | 3000 | Critical — via OBYC it picks the inventory G/L (300000). Wrong class → wrong G/L |
| Price Control * | V | Moving average — a bought material's cost changes with each goods receipt | |
| Moving Price * | 250000 | Value of 1 TO in ₨ (₨2.5 lac/ton); SAP updates it from each GR | |
| Price Unit | 1 | Price is per 1 TO |
* = mandatory to save. Save → message "Material RM-IRON-01 created".
✅ Verify
- MM03 → open RM-IRON-01 → the selected views are filled (Accounting 1 shows 3000 / V / 250000).
- SE16N →
MARA+MARC(plant PK01) +MBEW(valuation) +MARD(storage RAWM) all have a row.
⚠️ Extending the Accounting view
If MARA exists but MBEW doesn't (you created Basic only earlier), don't use MM02's wrong path — run MM01 again with the same material and select the Accounting 1 view to extend it. Stock can't post without the valuation (MBEW) row.
