There are different types like

ROH - Raw materials

HALB - Semifinished

FERT - Finished

HAWA - Trading Goods

ERSA - Spare Parts

KMAT - Configurable material

The above are only some examples, Depending on the material type the views in the materail master differ.

For all the internal manufactured materials (FERT, HALB) views like Work Scheduling is additional view in compared to the external procured materials (ROH...) which does not have the above view.

Please go thru the help documentation on the material types, which has the clear description of the material types and views in the material types.

Hope this helps you.
