• Key Concepts: 
  Extendable material is a type of material in SAP Logistics Basic Data (LO-MD) that can be used to represent a group of materials. It is used to simplify the process of creating and managing multiple materials, as it allows you to create a single material that can be extended to include multiple other materials. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create an extendable material, you must first create a material master record for the extendable material. Then, you can add additional materials to the extendable material by creating additional material master records and assigning them to the extendable material. This will allow you to manage all of the materials in the extendable material as a single entity. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an extendable material, it is important to ensure that all of the materials in the extendable material have similar characteristics. This will make it easier to manage and maintain the extendable material. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the materials in the extendable material are assigned to the same plant and storage location.
