ResMat Type

The field represents the reserved material type set for a specified order type in a specified company and can manage component creation in the /PACG/ECM_ARMAT table.


The available reserved material types include: Purchase order, Component, None and Component at once. These names don't fully convey the meaning of these options. The ‘From purchase order’ type requires a badi (mdoc_rmat_aufnr_det). In general if the service order number field length is equal to 12, it means it's an AUFNR value, which makes it clear that the order with a stock movement coming in is relevant for the RMAT table and to which order exactly. A new entry is made in the RMAT table once there's a material movement. After delivery to the purchase order an entry in the RMAT table is created but only of type ‘N' or ‘S'. This configuration is similar to the 'Do not create’ (

Status
titleOLD LABEL
'None') option – where no reserved material is used. For standard users, 'From order components’ (
Status
titleOLD LABEL
'Component at once') is the recommended setting, other options would block updates of the RMAT table. The 'Component' option is deprecated.
