Enter Sales Part Characteristics

Explanation

This activity is used to enter and update relevant optional characteristic information by applying a characteristic template. This information could be dimensions, colors, or some other characteristic for a part. Characteristics are used to group parts and to search for them according to their similar characteristics/attributes. Sales parts can have variable characteristic codes and discrete characteristic codes connected to them. Also templates which have variable characteristic codes and/or discrete characteristic codes can be connected to non-inventory sales parts.

Note: These sales part characteristics are not the same as configuration characteristics, which are used with CTO functionality. There is no link between the sales part characteristics and either the inventory part characteristics or the purchase part characteristics.

Prerequisites

This activity has the following prerequisites:

• A sales part, a non-inventory sales part, or a package part must have been entered and saved.
• The characteristics template must have been previously created in Part Characteristic Template.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• Characteristic templates and linked characteristics are associated with a sales part.
• The select characteristics are used in any newly created customer order.
• Sales parts can be sorted by characteristics.
