Customer-Material Info Record (CMIR) in Sap Sales and Distribution (SD)
In real-time sales processes, customers often refer to products using their own internal material numbers, which may not match the supplier’s material codes. Customer-Material Info Record (CMIR) in SAP SD bridges this gap by mapping the customer’s material number to the organization’s internal material number, ensuring smooth order processing and error-free communication.
This document explains how to configure and utilize CMIR using T-code VD51, where the link between a customer’s material number and the company’s internal material number is established. During sales order creation in VA01, the SAP system uses this mapping to automatically identify the correct material code, minimizing manual input and ensuring consistency.
A practical business example involving ABC Pvt. Ltd. and XYZ Distributors illustrates how CMIR simplifies order entry and ensures data accuracy. Additionally, the document walks through a hands-on test case, from CMIR maintenance to sales order creation, highlighting how the system recognizes and replaces the customer material number during processing.
