Define the engineering attributes for the engineering product type.

You can subdivide the engineering attributes into the groups that you defined for the engineering product type in the Grouping section.


Standard procedure

1. Go to Product engineering > Setup > Engineering product type.
2. On the left pane, select the desired engineering product type.
3. In the Attributes section, click Add.
4. Choose the group to which you want to assign the attribute. You can set up these groups in the Grouping section.
  In the Group field, enter or select a value.
5. Enter an engineering attribute.
  In the Name field, enter or select a value.
6. Enter the default value of the engineering attribute.
  In the Value field, type a value.
 

Note: This value can be changed when a product is released.

7. Select this check box if the engineering attribute always must have a value for related products.
8. Select this check box if you want to use the engineering attribute like it is a batch attribute. A batch attribute is a characteristic of the inventory of a raw material or finished product where the batch dimension is active. Batch attributes and their values can be used with quality tests to determine whether your products meet quality specifications.
9. Select this check box for attributes that can be inherited to higher levels in the BOM. So, if a BOM line product has an attribute with an important value, this is also known on higher levels in the BOM. The attribute can, for example, be a toxic component. This is a default setting and you can change it on the engineering version of a product.
10. Close the page.

Notes

Use the Up and Down arrow to rearrange the order of the engineering attributes.
