Update a standard material category

Update the ID and the description of a standard material category. The updates do not affect the functionality of the standard material category in AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management.

When you relate a standard material to a standard material category in the s20011 Standard Materials screen, you define whether the standard material is controlled as a project specific material or a standard stock material. For a standard material category, if the value in the No field is 1, 2, or 3, the standard material is controlled and reserved for a specific project. However, if the value in the No field is 4, 5, or 6, the standard material is used across all projects.

You cannot add or delete a standard material category.

1. Navigate to the s00001 Standard Material Categories screen.

2. To refresh the screen, select the F5 key.

3. In the Categories for Standard Material grid, select a row.

4. Select the General tab and update the relevant details in the following fields:

   • Material Category: The unique ID of a standard material category.

   • Description: The description of the standard material category.

5. On the Home menu, in the Record group, select Save.

   The standard material category is updated.
