Material Creation These parameters define how you create or change materials, including material creation methods and background creation of materials.
Simplified Material Creation These parameters define default settings for the simplified material creation method to allow a simplified predefined creation of a material either on a simplified user interface or in the background.

Activities
Set the control parameters for the Enhanced Material Search with Material Creation function according to your business needs and system performance requirements. Set the activation flag and save your data.
Note: The system uses predefined subscreens to display the primary and secondary search parameters of the Enhanced Material Search screen. The contents of these subscreens are displayed according to the settings you have made in the Define Search and Display Parameters for Material Search Customizing activity. The resulting subscreen is saved in the system. To avoid repeated regeneration of subscreens with search parameters, you must enter different screen numbers for the primary and secondary search parameters for each application used. As these subscreens apply to the entire system, you must enter unique screen numbers in each client.
