(MATERIAL)(300)(NR='M4711').
Some object types, such as documents, have than one part to their key:
(DOCUMENT)(017)(TYPE=DRW, VERSION=00, PART=000, NR='bmw-ca31').
The settings for object identifier and object key are defined in the
IMG for <ZH>Classification</>.
In the <LS>Define object types</> step, an object identifier is defined
for each object type. This identifies the object type in dependency
maintenance functions. 'Material' is the object ID for materials.
In the <LS>Define object keys</> step, you see the object key for an
object type. The fields of the object key are referred to by a special
field identifier. The object key for materials is the material number.
The material number has the field ID 'NR'.
The entries for this object are syntactically correct. However, they
are incomplete. This means that parts of the object key are missing.
Complete your entry for the key accordingly.
