The document discusses SAP materials, specifically standard materials and NLAG (non-stock) materials. It defines NLAG materials as consumable materials that are procured directly for use rather than inventory management. The document provides examples of NLAG materials and explains that while inventory management is not possible for NLAG materials, the system still allows storing purchase information to create purchase documents for frequently needed consumables. Screenshots show the different material creation and procurement processes in SAP for standard versus NLAG materials.
