What is Material Master and Why It Matters

The Material Master is the central repository for all material-related data in SAP. It contains information about materials that a company procures, produces, stores, or sells. Each material in SAP must have a Material Master record.

The Material Master is crucial because it integrates with nearly all SAP modules (MM, SD, PP, QM, CO, etc.) and serves as the single source of truth for material data. Proper configuration and maintenance ensure accurate procurement, production, inventory management, and financial reporting.
