By adding a comma after "please", this part of your statement is grammatically correct, or at least it can be explained in a way that it can be correct: Please, advise the update material status. the subject would be an implied "you", because of the verb of command, "advise". Your expression: "the update material status" would then be a direct object, and the people of your field would know exactly to what this refers.
