You can use attributes to further describe a product and its characteristics with user-defined fields. You can also set up engineering attributes and assign them to product versions or variants separately.
You set up engineering attributes to:
Define additional properties for a version.
Before you can set up engineering attributes, you must set up the relevant attribute types and engineering attribute grouping. Use this grouping to subdivide engineering attributes into logical and meaningful groups. At least one group is required to be able to set up engineering attributes.
Enable attribute-based product naming.
You can use the engineering attributes to configure the product number, product name, and product description. If you do so, on creation of the product, you must set the engineering attribute values. As a result, the product number, product name, and product description are set automatically, based on these attribute values.
Enable searching products based on engineering attributes.
If you create products with engineering attributes and attribute-based naming, you can use those attributes also for searching purposes
