Critical materials

Hello SAP Experts,

 

I have a question for you. How can we determine a material in SAP as a critical material ? I have a scenario where some materials are critical for business and we have to know these materials. While entering this material data in SAP, how can we distinguish these materials as Critical ?

    IF U FOLLOW EXTERNAL MATERIAL CODIFICATION, THEN YOU CAN TREAT THESE AS RAW MATERIALS.. AND  YOU CAN ALSO FORM A GROUP OF THESE MATERIALS WITH SIMILALAR SERIS MATERIAL CODIFICATION LOGIC... ANOTHER OPTION IS CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS LIKE A,B,C CLASS.. CHOOSE YOUR BEST OPTION...                                                THANKS AND REGARDS                                                                                NAAGSEKHAR

    Dear,

     

    You can identify critical materials as follows:

     

    MM01/MM02 > Purchasing > In other data/manufacturer data click in 'Cirtical Part'.

     

    Hope this helps.
