SAP Material Types are the foundation of effective material master management in SAP. Each material type defines how a material is created, controlled, valued, and managed throughout its lifecycle.
Some of the most common SAP material types include:
• FERT – Finished Products
• HALB – Semi-Finished Products
• ROH – Raw Materials
• HAWA – Trading Goods
• VERP – Packaging Materials
• DIEN – Services
Choosing the correct material type ensures accurate procurement, inventory management, production planning, and financial reporting.
Understanding these fundamentals is essential for anyone working in SAP MM, S/4HANA, or supply chain management.
