6. • The material master file contains the data and parameters that define each material
used in an SAP Client.
• The information relevant to a particular organizational unit for a specific material is
defined in a separate view of that material.
• For example, the accounting view for a material for a particular plant where valuation
takes place, would define how that material is valuated at that plant. There would be
another accounting view for the same material at a different plant.
