4. Best Practices
• Keep material type names meaningful and consistent with industry standards.
• Align number ranges across company codes for simplicity.
• Limit mandatory fields to what is truly required to avoid user frustration.
• Ensure vendor master data is complete for integration with FI.
• Regularly review source list and quota arrangement for outdated vendors.
5. Testing & Validation Steps
1. Create a new material master using MM01 for material type ROH and verify number
range assignment.
2. Create a vendor master using XK01 (or BP) and confirm number range and account
group.
3. Maintain a purchasing info record in ME11 and verify field controls.
4. Test source list restriction by creating a PO in ME21N and checking vendor eligibility.
5. Test quota arrangement distribution in MEQ1 and simulate PO creation to see vendor
split.
