Managing Product Change in SAP® ERP New Product Set Up Overview Material Masters are a vitally important data element in SAP.  They comprise many hundreds of data fields which are grouped into nominal department views, such as sales data, costing, accounting, purchasing, etc.  If a Material Master is not maintained correctly, then a subsequent processing such as raising a purchase order or carrying out a cost roll-up, is not possible and will result in error messages being issued across the business. Due to the complex nature of the Material Master and the cross-functional support that is required to ensure that it is created correctly, many organisations encounter problems and have to rely on external solutions to their SAP system, such as spreadsheets, to control the maintenance process. Stilo's New Product Set Up module, part of its Product Change Management Suite, provides a standard process to create new Material Master data within SAP.  The module provides process controls to support material creation and the data within the Material Master.  The solution also removes the occurence of incorrect data fields, which compound processing errors when using the Material Master.
