Use this activity to plan material lines for the work task template. Here, you can plan the material you expect to need to perform the action. You can adjust the expected material requirement during planning. Initially, the material can consists of any part from the part catalog. But when the work task template is validated against the site the part must have been entered as an inventory part in IFS/Inventory or purchase part in IFS/Purchasing.
As a result of this activity, material lines are connected to the work task template. When you then decide to link the work task template to a PM action or a work order, all material lines will be copied.
