M_MATE_STA Maintenance status

Definition

Maintenance status authorization for material master records

The data contained in a material master record is divided into user departments or views (Purchasing, MRP, and so on). The maintenance status is a single-character key for the relevant user department or view.

This object determines which user departments or views a user is authorized to process; that is, which data he or she may process from this view.

Note

To use material master functions, a user needs the authorization for at least one user department.
