If you frequently assign materials to the same industry sector, it is useful to define it as a default to save you having to keep entering it whenever you create or access a material master record. Likewise, if you always require the same views when creating or accessing material master records, you can define that they are selected by default in the Select View(s) dialog box. Like the industry sector, you can also predefine the organizational levels for which you maintain data, and the profiles you use.

You can also define that one or more of the following are hidden whenever you create a material master record:

• Industry sector field

• Select View(s) dialog box

• Organizational Levels dialog box (including profiles)

You can always cancel this setting. The relevant field or dialog box then reappears.
