Documentation

Definition

Indicates whether the material may be used in the following areas for all plants:

  • Materials management (for example, in purchasing and in inventory management)
  • Production planning and control
  • Plant maintenance
  • Warehouse management
  • Costing with a quantity structure

Use

The cross-plant material status restricts the usability of the material for all plants, that is, it defines whether a warning or error message is displayed if you include the material in a particular function.

Example

The material may be a part under development or one to be discontinued.
