The Material Class Assignments option is used to record the connections between the Child Material classes under the Material Class and the materials. Characteristics such as Unit Set, Customer/Supplier info and General Ledger Codes can be applied to the child material classes or the materials connected to this material class. In such cases, the same characteristics are transferred into the child material classes and/or materials by creating Material Class Assignments.
Characteristics can be transferred into the Material Class (General or With table) Materials of which the Record Type is Commercial Good, Deposited Item, Semi Finished Good, Raw Material, Finished Good or Consumer Good using the Material Class Assignments option.
The Material Class Assignments option cannot be used to transfer characteristics to the Fixed asset and Mixed Case type Materials.
Only the characteristics of the Material Class (General) records can be transferred into the Material Class (With table) material classes.
When the Material Class Assignments of the Material Class (General) materials are generated, the Material Class (With table) records cannot be selected as the parent material class.
The Material Class Assignments are done for the selected material (class) in the Material Classes list. In order to generate the Material Class Assignments, the Material Class to which the characteristics will be transferred must be selected in the Material Classes list. Then the Material Class Assignments located in the right mouse button menu is selected. The Material Class Assignments page is in form of a table.
The code of the parent material class from which the characteristics will be transferred is entered into the Material Class Code field. The characteristics for which Material Class Assignments will be generated are grouped under the following titles:
- General
- Warehouse Parameters
- Plant Parameters
- Units
- Prices
- Suppliers
- G/L Codes
- Inspection Criteria Description
- Bill of Materials Relation
- Production Info
...
Bill of Materials Relation: This option is used to generate a Bill of Materials Relation to define the bill of material to be used in material production according to time requirement. The bill of material which is used to calculate minimum/maximum material quantity to be produced and calculate the standard cost for the plant for Material Classes (General or with table) is recorded in the Bill of Materials Relation tab of the Material record. The Bill of Materials Relation is only available for Finished Good materials.
