Any idea when item classification capabilities are coming into vault Pro?
items can be devided in to item categories and product groups. To idenitify an item within the group structure information must be added to the item with specific characteristics. So each item has a summery of differtentiated characteristics
the characteristics attached to an item are depending on the productgroup code. So for every possible value in the productgroupcode a different set of characteristics is defined.
The characteristics in combination with the Item category and Productgroup code can be used to find a specific item.
Example:
Item Category = Axle
Product Group = Steering Axle
Classification
Trackwidth = 1995 mm
Springtrack = 730 mm
Load = 120 kN
breakdiameter = 300 mm
Item Category = Hydraulic coupling
Product Group = screw coupling
Classification
Pipediam = 15 mm
Persure serial = L
Thread = M18x1,5
