Can Materials have Company Scope?

Hi All ,

I would like to know the use of Company field in SC_Materials sheet of Company Workbook. That column is present in database and am not able to find it on UI and when ever I am giving a Company and importing it , Company value is storing in Database. So checked if at all materials can be scoped to users belonging to that particular company but thats not happening and all the materials are being visible to users of different company.

Thanks

Uday
