Configuring the Material Master:

In this section, you can configure the material master to suit your specific needs. You can do the following:

1. Define the structure of the data screens. A data screen is a display in the material master such as:

• View, that is, main screen such as Basic Data that you can select in the Select View(s) dialog box
• Secondary screen, of which there are the following types:
o Additional screen such as Descriptions that you can access from every view
o Screen that you can access in a view, for example, Production Versions from the MRP view in the standard material master.

2. A data screen is made up of individual subscreens. You can, for example, remove subscreens that you do not require from a particular data screen, include others from other data screens, or include subscreens of your own.
• Group screens together to form a screen sequence

Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence:

In this IMG activity, you have the following navigation levels:
• Screen sequences

This overview appears when you access the IMG activity. It contains all existing screen sequences. You have the following options:

o Creating screen sequences by copying existing screen sequences

You can create a new screen sequence by selecting an existing screen sequence and choosing Copy as. You are required to enter a new screen sequence ID and description, and to choose Enter. The system copies the screen sequence selected, the data screens, the subscreen assignments, and the order of the data screens.

o Deleting screen sequences

You can delete screen sequence(s) by selecting them as required and choosing Delete. The system deletes the screen sequence selected, the relevant data screens, and the subscreen assignments (not the subscreens themselves).

o Transporting screen sequences and data screens

You can transport screen sequences and/or data screens from the test system to the production system by selecting the screen sequence(s) and/or data screen(s) required and transporting them in the usual way.

The screen sequence Z1 for TATRA has been created as a copy of standard sequence 99.

To view the data screens available for the screen sequence Z1, select the option “Data Screens”.

To see the sub-screens that are present within a screen, select the screen, say screen 15, and select the “Subscreens” option.

The list of subscreens that are available within this screen are seen here. By selecting the subscreen and using the option button “View Subscreen”, you can view the fields in the subscreen.

In the above case when the option “View Subscreen” is chosen the following subscreen is shown.

Assign Screen Sequences to User/Material Type/Transaction/In:

In this IMG activity, you can assign a screen sequence to a combination of one or more transactions, users, material types, or industry sectors.


Refer the screen sequence Z1 for all the Screen Reference Groups as below:
