• Key Concepts: 
  Core maintenance status is a feature in SAP Logistics Basic Data (LO-MD) that allows users to control the status of a material master record. It is used to indicate whether the material is active or inactive, and can be used to prevent users from making changes to the material master record. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use core maintenance status, users must first set up the status in the customizing settings. This can be done by navigating to Logistics -> Materials Management -> Material Master -> Basic Settings -> Define Core Maintenance Status. Once the status has been set up, users can then assign it to a material master record by navigating to Logistics -> Materials Management -> Material Master -> Basic Settings -> Assign Core Maintenance Status. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up core maintenance status, it is important to consider how it will be used in the system. For example, if the status is used to indicate whether a material is active or inactive, then it should be set up accordingly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that users are aware of the different statuses and how they should be used.
