intra material (PP-PI)

Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI)

An intermediate product that exists temporarily in a production process and is processed immediately.

Intra materials are managed as master records with their own material type 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 be used, for example, for material quantity calculation. They are not included in logistics processes such as purchasing, material requirements planning, quality management, sales and distribution, or costing.
