The OPC UA Variable Type MaterialLotType describes a lot of materials, i.e. the type of material and its quantity expressed in base unit of measure and, optionally, in logistics unit of measure.

Remark. Both units of measure are carried out to correctly manage partial logistic units.

Figure 28 shows an overview for the MaterialLotType with related Variable. It is formally defined in Table 75.

The MaterialLotType is formally defined in Table 75.

The MaterialLotType VariableType is a concrete type and can be used directly.

MaterialLotType is a subtype of MaterialQuantitiesType thus it inherits all the properties and the variables of the latter. MaterialQuantitiesType is defined in 8.2.

The following Objects are defined to extend the MaterialQuantitiesType.

The Property Material describes the type of the material. The Property Material has type MaterialType which is defined in Table 22.
