SAP Master Data • Master Data Records contain information that rarely changes • Using Master Data Records in purchasing documents reduces data entry, errors, and redundancy • Material Master Records include information such as unit of measure, description, and purchasing data • Vendor Master Records include information such as address, contact information, and payment terms
Material Request Form • A material request form will be completed and submitted to the Data Strategy Group whenever a new Material Master Record needs to be created
Demonstration and Exercise Scenario: Display a Material Master Record Transaction Code: MM03
Vendor Profile Form • The Vendor Profile Form must be completed and submitted to the Data Strategy Group whenever a new Vendor Master Record needs to be created

Types of Purchase Requisitions There are three types of Purchase Requisitions that will be discussed in this course:
Material Order Form • Requestors will provide details about the materials they wish to order by completing a material order form and forwarding it to the appropriate requisitioner
Account Assignment Categories Each line item on a Requisition must have an Account Assignment Category. The following five account assignment categories will be covered in this course: • <Blank> - Inventory (Warehouse, PPO, Cafeteria Groceries) • Z – Asset (Use in Phase 1) • A – Asset (Use in Phase 2) • K - Cost Center • P - Project • Y - Grant
Item Categories Each line item on a purchase requisition will have an Item Category: • Standard – Used for material line items for which there is a specific quantity/unit price and a goods receipt requirement. The Item Category is left blank. (Ex: items on contract or invoicing plans.) • Limit – Used for line items for which there is a funding limit but not a specific quantity/unit price and no goods receipt requirement The Item Category is B for Limits. (Ex: Attached lists, landscaping, fuel.)
Material Groups • The Material Group is a code used to group together materials with the same attributes (e.g., office supplies) • The Material Group will be the three-character National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) code (e.g., 615 for “Office Supplies, General” • The Material Group will default for those items that have a Material Master Record • For those items that do not have a Material Master Record, the Material Group must be entered on the requisition
