# MaterialCarrierContext

## Description

This smart table is used to resolve the carriers to be used for a particular material context.

## Fields

The **MaterialCarrierContext** table has the following fields:

| Field | Description | Key | Mandatory | Comments |
| --- | ----- | -- | -- | ---- |
| **Step** | Step Reference. | Yes | Yes | |
| **LogicalFlowPath** | The Logical Flow Path. | Yes | No | |
| **Product** | Product Reference. | Yes | No | |
| **ProductGroup** | Product Group Reference. | Yes | No | |
| **Flow** |Applies to the immediate parent **Flow** of the **Step** where the **Material** is currently, and not to the Top-Level **Flow**| Yes | No | |
| **Material** | Material Reference. | Yes | No | |
| **MaterialType** | Reference to lookup table value in material type lookup table. | Yes | No | |
| **ProductionOrder** | Production Order | Yes | No | |
| **Resource** | Resource Reference. | Yes | No | |
| **ResourceType** | Reference to lookup table value in ResourceResourceType lookup table. | Yes | No |Not the same as the *Type* property of the **Resource**|
| **Model** | Reference to lookup table value in ResourceModel lookup table. | Yes | No | |
| **Recipe** | Recipe Reference. | Yes | No | |
| **CarrierProduct** | Carrier Material Product Reference. | No | Yes | **CarrierProduct** must reference a product with type `Carrier`.|
| **SourceStep** | Material Source Step Reference. | No | No | |
| **Operation** | Determines if the context will Add or Remove a Carrier Material. | No | Yes | |
| **AssignmentMode** | Assing to a Main Material or a Sub Material. | No | Yes | |
| **RestrictToForm** | Restrict to a certain Material Form. | No | No | |
| **AllowSharedCarriers** | Defines if the carrier can be shared with other materials. | No | Yes |Indicates whether the material context allows shared carriers. |
