Lesson 1Material master templates and mass maintenance tools (LSMW, MASS, MDG basics) for efficient rollout of pump componentsCovers creating standard material master templates for pump components and using SAP mass maintenance tools to accelerate rollout, reduce errors, and enforce data governance across plants and engineering locations.
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 treatmentExplains how to capture engineering data in the material master, including drawing references, CAD links, revisions, specifications, tolerances, and surface treatments, ensuring traceability between design and manufacturing.
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 fieldsReviews the main material master views relevant to mechanical engineers, explaining their purpose, key fields, and how they interact to support planning, purchasing, costing, warehousing, and classification of pump components.
