SAP Purchase Requisition

SAP path definition goes here

When procuring consumable materials that do not have a material master record, you have to enter the following, as well as the account assignment category:

• Short text (description)
• Material group
• Order unit

The standard configuration of the R/3 System contains the following material types for consumable material:

• Non-valuated material (material type UNBW):

This type of material is managed on a quantity basis, but not on a value basis. This is advisable for materials that are low in value, whose stocks have to be monitored (for example, operating instructions).

• Non-stock material (material type NLAG):

You cannot manage these goods either on a quantity basis or on a value basis. For consumable materials that are required frequently, you can store the information required to create purchasing documents, for example, texts and units of measure.
