Information about purchased, sold or produced materials should be recorded completely and accurately and necessary controls should be specified in order to perform inventory control and tracking transactions in a healthy manner.

Each company may use different materials depending on their field of activity. Especially for companies working with a wide range of products, it is essential to group and track these products under different product groups in order to more easily, productively and effectively perform material management. The program provides such companies with the facility to track different characteristics of materials of the same type in a multilevel hierarchy by classifying them.

Materials and Material Classes are defined using the Material Management – Definitions – Material Classes and Material Cards menu options.
