INDIRECT MATERIAL Materials, purchases and supplies used in the operation of the business, not directly associated with production and are part of OPERATING EXPENSES. As opposed to DIRECT MATERIAL.

DIRECT MATERIALS Raw materials and other purchases that become a part of the units produced and incur expenditures that are easily traced to the units of output and included in the COST OF GOODS SOLD. As opposed to INDIRECT MATERIALS, such as office supplies.
