New Improved process

1. Material requester :

The user will directly fill up an adobe form which is present in an ABAP Webdynpro application.

The form will be submitted and in exchange user will receive the request number.

On submit the data will be stored in the tables in ECC and a mail will be automatically send to the master data manager notifying a new request has been created for material creation.

2. Master Data Manager :

Master Data Manager will execute a transaction code created by a module pool report which will be used to process the request.

Using the report, manager can search for duplicates, copy records from other materials and create a material. Once created mail will be send automatically to the user with the material number generated.
