Hi

Yes you can use TEXT material in such cases and enter your text at Customer-material info column at overview screen.

Another option is to use a generic material # (e.g. CONSULTANT) and just type in the description when entering the sales order. We use this technique and only maintain material numbers per consulting position, e.g. "consultant", "senior consultant", etc.
