Definition

Defines whether manufacturer part numbers may be used as a reference.

Use

  • If this indicator is set, you can use materials of this kind.
  • If this indicator is not set, the system does the following:
    • Hides the corresponding fields in the material master
    • Deactivates the corresponding checks

Procedure

Example

Dependencies

If you do not use materials of this kind, we recommend that you cancel the indicator for the following reasons:

  • Reduces the runtime
  • Simplifies material master maintenance

You can set it again at any time.

If you cancel the indicator, the system checks whether materials of this kind have already been used as a reference. If they have, a where-used list is displayed and the indicator cannot be cancelled.
