Copy Material Master Data
Application component: Materials Management
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   If you create a new force element or change the material equipment for a force element, you have to create relevant material master data so that the system can support the logistics processes (procurement, inventory management, material requirements planning, and so on) for this force element. 
Key features:  Creation of Force Elements  You can create new material master data based on a template force element. This follow-up action is triggered when a force element status changes to  Active .   For more information, see Checks and Follow-Up Actions for Status Change .   Adaptation of Force Elements  Force elements can change during routine operation. This can be for the following reasons:  New material planning objects (MPOs) are assigned, meaning that authorized materials are adjusted  If you assign new MPOs to a force element in the  Structures Workbench , the system updates a change entry in the background.   These change entries are processed at regular intervals using report /ISDFPS/FDP_CHANGES_EXECUTE, and the material master data is created for the materials of the newly assigned MPOs. Also see Report: Implementation of Organizational Changes .   New provisions packages are assigned, meaning that the logistical requirements change  In this case, the system also creates change entries that are processed using report /ISDFPS/FDP_CHANGES_EXECUTE.  Supply relationships change where stock is held by the supplier   To simplify the creation of these material master views, you can use report /ISDFPS/MATMAS_COPY, which you can either call from the  Structures Workbench or separately for background processing. For more information, see the report documentation.   In addition to the functions described above, in the  Structures Workbench , you can choose the  Create Material Master Data pushbutton to branch to the material master maintenance for the new force element to be defined. Here, you specify the force element that you want to use as the template.  You can use the BAdI /ISDFPS/MATMASSRCDET to specify the source for copying material master data. For more information, see Customizing and choose Defense Forces & Public Security  Materials Management  Business Add-Ins  BAdI: Define Templates for Creating Material Master Data.   If you also enter the storage location in the template, the system copies all the warehouse number data to the new force element as default values under the same storage location.
