Materials
This function is used to manage the materials on the current site.
A material is characterized by:
- its type specifying whether it is IT and/or Handling, and based on unit management or not.
- the maximum load that it can carry for the "handling" materials.
- its current use in real time (availability, information on the mission being completed)
Furthermore this function is used to make a material available or unavailable, and to display statistics.
this function belongs to the optional module GEOMIPS

Presentation
There are 4 separate fields:
HEADER
it contains the mateial code and its type.
2-PHASE TRANSFER
it specifies the temporary location (of 2-phase transfer type) that will be used when conducting a transfer mission.
MAXIMUM LOAD
the maximum load that can be borne by the material when conducting the mission is specified here.
the maximum load in CUs only takes into account those operations linked to the CU-managed products. On the other hand, the maximum load in weight and volume takes all the products into account (CU-managed and also SU-managed).
DIRECTIVE MISSIONS
The available information is used to:
- know the availability or unavailability of the material with the reason in case of unavailability.
- its current use in real time.
