All About Material Exclusion & Inclusion (Listing)

Material exclusion / listing provides a provision to restrict a customer’s buying choices. For example, if certain materials are defined in “Exclusion List” of a specific customer, then, the customer can not buy material from “Exclusion List”.

Example – A company produce 10 materials and company want to sell only 6 material to customer ABC then company create a list of these 6 material as “Listing List “(products that can be ordered) and remaining 4 material may be in “Exclusion List”. In this scenario Customer can buy only 6 material from “Listing List”.
