    - Use custom property types in the material model
    - Material Classes
      A material class is a grouping of common properties that can be applied to material resources.
    - Material Definitions
      A material definition describes supplies or materials with unique characteristics. Definitions offer a specific defined material to be used in a production process in the creation of a final product.
    - Material Lots and Sublots
      A lot or a sublot is a quantity of a material definition and is associated with an equipment resource. Lots can be viewed in the Inventory View of an associated material definition or associated equipment instance. The Inventory View is lot-based and sublots are visible only under their associated lot.

Material Model

Materials are the substances or components that are used to make something else. A material can be a finished product in its own right, or an unprocessed raw material.

The material model is made up of material definitions and material classes that are used in the manufacturing or production of a product.

Material specifications are not created as material resources, but are material definition or class resources that are associated with work process segments.

Note: You can configure up to 5000 properties for each material definition and 1000 properties for each material class, and you can add up to 50 material classes to each material definition for a maximum of 55000 properties per material definition.
