You can use this text as you like, for example, to store additional information of a general nature on the material.

You can use this text to stipulate rules on the procedure to be followed for inspecting a material, or any special points to be observed.

This is a short text describing a material. You may have only one description for each material, but it may exist in as many different languages as you like. Since the material description is the same for all user departments, it is important that you agree on a suitable description with the other departments when the material master record is first created. You normally enter the material description in the logon language on the first data screen you process.
