Master Data Features

The defined features can be assigned to the master data and actual values can be assigned.

Currently, it is possible to create features for Items, Manufacturing Specification, Development Recipes, Routings, Production BOMs, Work Center and Machine Center. A distinction can be made between header and line features.

Note

If the feature is assigned to master data or a document it is not possible to delete it.

For example, master data features for items can be accessed from the Item Card by clicking on Features. The features available here can be added in various ways:

1. Features can be added manually.
2. Features can be added automatically by selecting a Feature Group Code (see Feature Group). Therefor open the master data card (for example Item Card) and open the linked master data feature table. Vie function Select Feature Group the features can be added.
3. Features can be added through inheritance (e.g. from the item to the manufacturing specification line).

In master data features it is only possible to edit the fields Target Value, Lower Tolerance Limit, Upper Tolerance Limit, Calculation Formula and Document Feature. All other fields are not editable and can be modified via Feature Card.
