# How to Create a Material in SAP S/4HANA: MM01, Fiori and Manufacturing Views > Source: https://netray.co/erp-help/sap-s4hana-create-material-master-mm01-fiori-views-manufacturing > Publisher: Netray (netray.co), AI and integration engineering for ERP and manufacturing systems. > Section: ERP Help ## Short answer In SAP S/4HANA you create a material with MM01 or the Fiori app Manage Product Master. Choose the industry sector and material type, select the views you need, and fill the organizational levels. For a manufactured part, the minimum is Basic Data, MRP 1 to 3, Work Scheduling, Accounting and Costing, plus Purchasing for bought items. ## Kind how-to ## System sap ## Erp SAP S/4HANA ## Module MM Material Master ## Query create material in sap s4 hana ## Alternate Queries - MM01 create material S/4HANA - Manage Product Master Fiori app - sap material master views for manufacturing - create product master s4hana ## Applies To SAP S/4HANA on-premise; MM01 remains available. SAP calls the object 'product' in Fiori; the technical object is still the material master ## Steps ### How to create a manufacturing material **Items:** - Run MM01, or open Manage Product Master and choose Create. Enter the material number (or leave blank for internal numbering), industry sector and material type. - Select views. For a manufactured item choose Basic Data 1, Basic Data 2, MRP 1, MRP 2, MRP 3, Work Scheduling, Accounting 1, Costing 1 and Costing 2, plus Storage and Quality views if used. - Enter organizational levels: plant, storage location and, for sales or purchasing views, the sales area or purchasing organization. - Basic Data: description, base unit of measure, material group, division. Add weight and dimensions if logistics needs them. - MRP views: MRP type, MRP controller, lot-sizing procedure, procurement type (E in-house, F external, X both), planned delivery time and in-house production time, and safety stock. - Work Scheduling: production scheduler, scheduling profile and over/underdelivery tolerance. Accounting: valuation class, price control (S standard or V moving average) and the price. - Save, then check the result in MM03 and MMBE, and run MRP for the material to prove planning parameters work. ## Sections ### Choosing material type and views **Body:** The material type (set up in OMS2) controls which views are offered, the number range, price control default and whether the material is quantity or value updated. Typical types are ROH for raw material, HALB for semi-finished, FERT for finished product, and HIBE for operating supplies. A view exists only once it is created for an organizational level. A material used in two plants needs plant-level views, such as MRP and Accounting, for each plant. That is why extending a material to a new plant is a routine task, and why missing views create errors in MRP, production orders or POs. ### What S/4HANA changes **Body:** The material number can be up to 40 characters. Many companies keep their old 18-character scheme and just gain headroom. Material Ledger is active and mandatory, which affects valuation and the Costing views. Check the actual costing and price determination settings with finance before you load many materials. The Business Partner approach affects vendors and customers rather than materials, but the supplier or customer fields on the material master still point to those records. Fiori apps give a simpler interface and can be configured per role, but MM01 still offers all views. ### Bulk and quality control **Body:** For many materials use a migration approach such as the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit, LSMW or a BAPI like BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, rather than manual entry. Test with a small set and compare MM03 output against the source. Governance matters: master data created without rules ends with duplicates. Use an approval workflow or at least a duplicate check by description and key attributes. **Code:** - MM01 Create material - MM02 Change material - MM03 Display material - MM06 Flag for deletion - OMS2 Material types (customizing) - MMBE Stock overview ## Pitfalls - Missing MRP or Work Scheduling views, so MRP skips the material or production orders cannot be created. - Using standard price for a part whose cost changes often without a revaluation plan. - Wrong procurement type, which makes MRP create planned orders instead of purchase requisitions. - Creating a material in one plant and forgetting to extend it to the others. - Loading materials in bulk without a duplicate check. ## Ai Angle Master data owners often want to find incomplete or inconsistent materials before planning runs. Netray's ERPray can run this kind of lookup in plain language against your own SAP system, read-only by default, showing the query it ran and respecting SAP authorizations, with the model served on your own hardware when the system is on-prem. It explains and finds the data; it does not replace configuration decisions or post documents without human approval. ## Faq ### Is MM01 still available in S/4HANA? **Answer:** Yes, MM01 still works in S/4HANA on-premise. SAP also provides the Fiori app Manage Product Master as the newer interface, but both write to the same material master data. ### Which views does a manufactured material need? **Answer:** At a minimum Basic Data, MRP 1 to 3, Work Scheduling, Accounting and Costing for the producing plant. Add Storage, Quality and Sales views depending on how the material is used. ### What is the difference between ROH, HALB and FERT? **Answer:** ROH is raw material, HALB is semi-finished product made in-house, and FERT is finished product. The type controls views, number ranges and defaults such as price control. ### How do I extend a material to another plant? **Answer:** Use MM01 with a reference to the existing material, or MM02 to add the views for the new plant. The plant must exist and be assigned to a valuation area first. ## Search terms create material in sap s4 hana, MM01 s4hana, manage product master fiori, sap material master views, sap material type ROH HALB FERT, sap create product master, sap MRP views material, BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA --- Talk to an engineer: https://netray.co/contact?intent=erp_ai | Machine catalog: https://netray.co/agent/catalog.json
