Documentation

Definition

Number and description of the material group.

A material group comprises several materials or services having the same attributes.

Use

If you enter parts of the description or the number of the material group, the system finds the relevant group or suggests several for you to choose from.

Example

You have created the following material groups:

Material group    Description

011    Office materials

112    PC monitors

113    PC hard disks

911    Advertising and promotional gifts

If you enter PC, the system will suggest the material groups '112' and '113' for you to choose from, because their descriptions contain the character string 'PC'.
