Commodity Codes - Intergraph Smart Materials - 10.2 - Training - Hexagon

Purpose

This section explains how to create table detail-based commodity codes, which are created based on commodity attributes and by means of predefined commodity rules. A commodity code with its descriptions and layouts describes a component with all its properties, but without the dimensions.

Exercise

1. Open the S.30.01 Commodity Codes screen from the Smart Reference Data > S.30 Commodity Code menu branch. The screen opens in enter query mode; all fields are empty and are displayed with a yellow background.

2. Enter B in the Group field and E9L in the Part field in the first block, or select both from the LOV using the List of Values button.

3. Click the Run Query button to display the selected group and part with all its commodity codes.

   

4. Click the New Record button to create a record, initialized with values in the Group, Part, Commodity Code, Type, and Rule fields.

   The group and part are copied from the existing and queried record (B and E9L), the commodity code is filled with a dummy code, the rule is filled with the value assigned to the part, and the type is set to the default value ‘Table Detail Based’. You can change the type when needed.

5. Click the Save button to save the new record. This will automatically populate the Details tab with the required properties assigned to the selected commodity rule.

   

6. Click in the Group field of the first record on the Details tab. This automatically opens an LOV with all available values.

   

7. Select a table group from the list, and click OK. This will close the LOV, fill in the selected value, and open the LOV on the Detail field.

   When only one value is available, this value will be filled in automatically without popping up the LOV.

   

8. Do the same with all other properties.

9. Click the Save button to save the changes.

10. Click the button to create a commodity code based on your entries.

11. At the prompt, click the button to create only the commodity code without any ident.

    

    A message appears to inform you that a commodity code was created.

12. Click OK, and the screen will be refreshed.

    The new ‘real’ commodity code is shown with its descriptions and layouts. The previously created dummy commodity code was replaced with the new commodity code.

    

13. Close the screen by selecting File > Close All from the main menu.
