Extending an existing material to a new plant or sales organisation required a specialist, a checklist and four days. The checklist lived in a shared drive, the specialist was a single point of failure, and the fields that mattered varied by material type in ways that were understood but never written down.
As the network grew, the maintenance backlog grew with it, and operations teams began creating local workarounds rather than waiting for the extension to complete.
The rules that lived in the checklist were encoded as material type templates inside SAP. A requester now chooses the material type and the target plant, and the workflow presents only the fields that actually apply, pre-filled wherever the answer can be derived from the existing record.
Material extensions now complete in about four hours, and they no longer depend on the availability of a specialist. Maintenance cost fell by 60 percent, and the workarounds that had accumulated in operations were retired.
