You use material grids to determine the characteristic values in which you carry a material within the entire logistics. The mapping of your AFS materials in the form of grid values simplifies the maintenance of large volumes of data.

This is a basic enhancement of the material master that affects the entire chain of logistics. AFS materials are processed and valuated using their grid data in:

• Production Planning in the processing of planned orders
• Materials Management in inventory management
• Sales and Distribution in sales order processing
