You use this function to associate existing materials with a material type and, optionally, a vendor or vendor subrange.

When creating materials using the simplified material creation method, you can use reference materials as a template to which you can add missing material data. Data from the reference material will be automatically populated if it is not provided by the search result itself.

Activities

You can maintain Reference Materials in the SAP Easy Access menu by choosing   Logistics   Materials Management   Material Master   Other   Additional Functions for Material   Reference Materials  (transaction WSD_REFMAT).

Maintain reference material for a material type, and optionally for a vendor and vendor subrange. You should maintain reference material at the vendor level and, if possible, at the vendor subrange level, in order to create proper master data.
