Smart Materials is the master system. Smart Materials is not responsible for any of the material masters (materials) directly created, modified, or deleted in SAP. Smart Materials is not able to guarantee this condition at the SAP end, because Smart Materials has no direct access of any kind to the SAP system. This must be guaranteed either by organizational measures or by direct precautions in the SAP system itself.

Smart Materials sets up (standardizes) all the material master records (idents) for SAP materials relevant to system construction; that is, Smart Materials generates the relevant (technical) part master data (idents) exclusively. A subset of this data is transferred to the SAP system as materials.

In addition to this, SAP can contain materials that have not been transferred by Smart Materials.

Which idents (Smart Materials material master) are transferred from Smart Materials to SAP as materials is determined by the maintenance of the interface ident code (that is, updating the SAP material numbers in Smart Materials for the relevant ident of each interface) and the restrictive Where condition in the SAP job screen SAP 20.01 Transfer Jobs.

It is not planned to transfer materials that are already in the SAP systems to Smart Materials when the interface is implemented. Also not planned is a merger of the different systems with regard to ident and material numbers. Smart Materials will only transfer the material master data (idents) to a newly defined (or reserved) area of SAP material master data.
