Material 
Description
A material is a concrete resource involved in the supply chain which becomes an integral part of the new (intermediate) product with altered properties.
Materials are for example
- Raw materials, basic materials and supplies
- Semifinished parts
- Standard parts (or norm parts)
- Purchased parts
FACTON offers you an integrated machine cost rate calculation.
Further Information ► Material Quantity Calculation
In FACTON, materials are divided into company-own and FACTON Benchmark materials using the property »Data Origin«. As master data administrator, you can define and maintain company-own materials and the corresponding material-dependent value rules.
Examples
- Polyethylene granules of lower density „DOWLEX™ 2045“ by the company Dow Chemicals
- X4CrNi18-12, stainless steel according to DIN EN 10088-3, round profile
- Screw M6, 4 cm
- LCD-Display for a digital thermometer

The property is only visible, if at least one 
technical measure is inserted under the material.
Relevant Net Quantity
The property is only visible, if at least one technical measure is inserted under the material.
Relevant Net Volume
The property is only visible, if at least one technical measure is inserted under the material.
»Consider Markup« checkbox
The activated checkbox enables you to take surcharges of the material into account.
Net Quantity
View and enter the net quantity.

Markup Rate on Net Quantity
View and enter the percentage markup rate on the net quantity.
Direct input is possible.
Markup on Net Quantity
Is calculated bidirectionally, i.e. entering a different value for »Markup on Net Quantity« recalculates the value for »Markup Rate on Net Quantity«.
Markup on Net Volume
This property is only visible when the volume calculation is active. ( 
Consider Volume)
Is calculated bidirectionally, i.e. entering a different value for »Markup on Net Volume« recalculates the value for »Markup Rate on Net Quantity«.

»Consider Recycling« checkbox
The following properties are only visible when the markup calculation is active. ( Consider Markup)
The »Consider Recycling« checkbox allows you to activate or deactivate a calculation for recycling.
Share of Recycling Material
View and enter the percentage share of reusable material (recycling).
The value »100 %« is set by default, based on the assumption that 100 % of the material waste can be reused. You can directly override this value.
When you remove your value, the default value »100 %« is set again.
Direct input is possible.
Is calculated bidirectionally, i.e. entering a different value for »Loss Quantity Rate« recalculates the value for »Share of Recycling Material«.
Recycling Quantity
Recycling Volume
This property is only visible when the volume calculation is active. ( Consider Volume)
Loss Quantity Rate
View and enter the percentage share of non-reusable material.
The value »0 %« is set by default, based on the assumption that 0 % of the material waste cannot be reused. You can directly override this value.
When you remove your value, the default value »100 %« is set again.
Direct input is possible.
Is calculated bidirectionally, i.e. entering a different value for »Loss Quantity Rate« recalculates the value for »Share of Recycling Material«.
Loss Quantity
Loss Volume
This property is only visible when the volume calculation is active. ( Consider Volume)
»Consider Inbound Logistics Costs« checkbox
The activated checkbox enables you to take the inbound logistics costs per unit for the material into account.
Inbound Logistics Transport Cost per Unit
View and enter the inbound logistics transport cost per unit.
Direct input is possible.

»General Properties« group
The specific properties of the material are listed below.
When creating a material, the default material type is »raw material«.
| Raw Material | This material type calculates the »Direct Material Cost Raw Material«. |
| Purchased Part | By selecting purchased part as material type, the new property Procurement Type is shown for further detailing of the direct material costs. |
This material type lets you determine the way this material is procured. You can choose between the following procurement types:
| Purchased Material | This procurement type calculates the »Direct Material Cost Purchased Material«. |
| Directed Buy Material | This procurement type calculates the »Direct Material Cost Directed Buy Material«. Note For Release 10 SC FP1: Select the property from the selection list (formerly: Activate the »Is Directed Buy Material« checkbox). |
| Customer Provided Material | The »Direct Material Cost Customer Provided Material« is not a part of the calculation. This procurement type is externally provided by the customer who is assuming the entire acquisition costs. Note For Release 10 SC FP1: Select the »Customer Provided Material« property from the selection list (formerly: Activate the »Is Externally Provided Material« checkbox). |
| Intercompany Material | This procurement type calculates the »Direct Material Cost Intercompany Material«. |
| Intracompany Material | This procurement type calculates the »Direct Material Cost Intracompany Material«. |
| External Processing | This procurement type calculates the »Direct Material Cost External Processing«. |

Materials can be allocated under the following supported resources:
A material calculates a »Gross Quantity«. It is calculated depending on the selected »Quantity Type«. Only materials with the quantity type »Mass« have access to the various Material Quantity Calculation. Depending on the selected »Quantity Valuation« several different »Geometric Shape« options are available for the quantity calculation.
Some properties are available for all »Material (Mass)« resources, most of them are depending on the defined »Quantity Valuation« and »Geometric Shape«.
