Definition

Indicates whether, for a specific distribution chain, the material may be used in individual functions in Sales and Distribution.

Use

The distribution-chain-specific material status restricts the usability of the material for the distribution chain concerned, 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.
