Item Classes/Attributes Features and Functions
Material classes define common groupings or types of materials that have common characteristics. The material class defines what information or attributes are appropriate for the definition of the material. For example, common material classes might be packaging, raw material, purchased component, subassembly or may be more detailed such as diode, flavoring, stabilizer, or chassis. Definition of material classes makes the definition and maintenance of materials easier by associating the appropriate attributes with a material based on what is appropriate for that type of material.
