# Manage Plan Excluded Material Types

:lock: Plan.**Edit**

## Overview

This operation is used to manage the **Material** types that are not to be considered in the actual volume count for the **Plan**.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Plan** is an Effective Plan and is not a **Plan Scenario**.

1. Select all **Material** types that should be excluded from volume calculations. Add as many **Material** types as desired (press :material-plus: to add and :material-trash-can: to remove), specifying for each item the **Material** type.
2. Press **Update** to complete the transaction.
