intra material |
Intermediate product that exists temporarily in a production process and is processed further immediately.
Intra materials are managed as master records with a material type of their own and a restricted number of views. The bill of material contains a separate item category for them.
Intra materials are entered as quantities in the bill of material and can therefore be used for material quantity calculation, for instance. However, they are not included in logistics processes such as purchasing, material requirements planning, quality management, sales and distribution, or costing.
