Material

To begin the process of planning, procuring and consuming Material - the Material must be defined in the Material Master. In JobNext the material master is organized as a 3-level hierarchy:

• • Material Group: The top-most level of the material hierarchy.

  • Material SubGroup: Each Group contains many Subgroups.

  • Material Sub-Subgroup: Each Subgroup contains main Sub-Subgroups. Material that don't have Sub-Subgroups should be created with NA (Not Applicable) as the Sub-SubGroup.

Each Material has a 16 character code the first 12 characters are derived from the Group, Sub-group and Sub-Subgroup, the last 4 characters are numeric and are defined in terms of the number of items in the Sub-Subgroup.

The process for creating a Material in the Material Master is:

1. Browse to Procurement > Material

2. Click on the button labelled Add at the bottom of the List of Material.

3. Choose the appropriate Group, Subgroup, SubSubgroup.

4. The Usage Code is configured in the system for your deployment and controls the Asset, Expense (and Sales Ledger) of the material. This way you can configure different items to be recorded in different Ledgers.

5. The UOM Codes - Purchase & Stocking control the Units used to buy the units to Stock (and consume) - the conversion factor converts from Purchase to Stocking

   • For example if you buy in Cartons and stock in Rolls with - one carton containing 12 Rolls, you would enter 12 in the conversion factor.

You can also upload Material in Bulk by clicking on the Upload Material Button and upload the material master according  to the format specified:
