Use this function to define custom attributes and attribute values that can be added to products, and product-site records. Custom attributes are identifiable characteristics that are common to multiple products, or resources used in your manufacturing processes. For example, paint color, or can size (440 g, 800 g, 1200 g).

Attributes are only used with your web scheduling solution. They are not used with work orders or Production Scheduler.

Screen management

The Attribute function contains a home section in which you define the attribute classification, and a table in which you add each individual entity that is associated with the defined attribute.

Header

You use this section to classify a standard feature, or characteristic that is common to multiple products and components used in your manufacturing processes.

For example, if your company manufactures bicycles, a common attribute is color; if your company is a food processing plant, a common attribute is can size (440 g, 800 g, 1200 g).

Attribute (field ATTCOD)

Use this field to classify a standard feature, or characteristic that is common to multiple products and components used in your manufacturing process.

For example, if your company manufactures bicycles, an attribute of the bicycle frame is the frame color. You could therefore define a common attribute classification as "PAINT COLOR", or just "COLOR".

Attribute description (field ATTDESAXX)

Use this field to identify the standard characteristic that you have classified as an attribute.

Tab Table of attributes

Use this section to list every characteristic of this attribute classification that is used in your manufacturing processes. For example, if the attribute classification is based on color, such as "PAINT COLOR" or simply "COLOR", you use this section to list every individual color used in your manufacturing processes.

Grid

Attribute value (field ATTVALCOD)

Use this field to identify an individual characteristic of this attribute classification.

For example, if your company manufactures bicycles and the attribute classification is COLOR, this field value is a color that might be sprayed on a bicycle frame.
Attribute value description (field ATTVALDESA)

Use this field to identify the individual characteristic that you have defined in this attribute classification.
