Optional materials are complementary materials for the customer's purchase that are not mandatory to be purchased. The relation between the Optional Material and the materials and material classes complemented by the optional materials are defined on the Material Management section. The information of the optional materials in Sales and Distribution slips and invoices are recorded by selecting the following two options:
- Apply Optional Materials
- By Selecting Optional Material as the Line Type
