Lesson 1Material master templates and mass maintenance tools (LSMW, MASS, MDG basics) for efficient rollout of pump componentsLearn to create standard material master templates for pump components and utilise SAP mass maintenance tools to speed up rollout, minimise errors, and ensure data governance across factories and engineering sites.
Designing pump material master templatesUsing MASS for field updatesLSMW basics for material uploadIntro to MDG for material governanceData validation and error handlingLesson 2Technical and engineering fields: drawing number, CAD file link, revision level, material specification, tolerance class, surface treatmentUnderstand how to record engineering data in material master, including drawing references, CAD links, revisions, specifications, tolerances, and surface treatments, ensuring full traceability from design to production.
Drawing number and version controlCAD file link and storage optionsRevision level and change historyMaterial specification and standardsTolerance class and surface treatmentLesson 3Key material master views: Basic Data, MRP, Purchasing, Accounting, Work Scheduling, Classification, Warehouse Management — purpose and required fieldsOverview of main material master views important for mechanical engineers, explaining their purpose, essential fields, and interactions to support planning, procurement, costing, storage, and classification of pump components.
