sheaves associated to modules

Let $ A$ be a ring. Then we have learned that for each $ A$ -module $ M$ , there exists a module $ \tilde M$ associated to it. By using tensor product, we may express this sheaf as follows.

$\displaystyle \tilde{M}\cong \mathcal{O}_X \otimes_A M
$

To avoid confusion, we prefer the expression $ \mathcal{O}_X \otimes_A M$ for the later discussions.
