Trying to understand some things about part characteristics as they relate to master parts and inventory parts. Considering characteristics for parts, but want to make sure of the most appropriate creation and flow, assuming the idea is to create a master part and inventory parts (may be many inventory parts, due to different locations) from the master part. Also the more relevant scenario where many master and inventory parts already exist.
- Part Master Data>Master Part>Part has a Characteristics tab that seems unrelated to Inventory Part Characteristics, seems to just happen to be named Characteristics
- Am able to populate the Technical Class and Attributes (App Base Setup/Characteristics/Basic Data) by creating them, then template and assigning template, but I don’t think this is necessarily relevant to what we’re after...this seems likely independent of inventory part characteristics, and doesn’t seem to flow to inventory part characteristics once created.
- We are able to create Part Master Data>Characteristic>Part Char Templates, but only within Aurena can we assign the characteristics to the inventory part. Not sure if this inventory part tab (or other view) has been accidentally/purposely removed by us in Explorer, or is otherwise unavailable there.
Thanks,
