Purpose
This section explains how to create object parameters with details. Object parameters are used as a link between commodity codes and geometric tables. For this exercise, we need an object parameter with one nominal size, one schedule, and unit set EACH.
Exercise
-
Open the S.10.04 Object Parameter screen from the Smart Reference Data > S.10 Commodity Group and Parts menu branch.
-
Click the Run Query
button to display all object parameters. Search for an existing object parameter
that meets the above requirements (P_1N1S_E); it will be used later in this exercise.
-
Close the screen by selecting File > Close All from the main menu.
-
Open the S.10.05 Object Parameter Detail screen from the Smart Reference Data > S.10 Commodity Group and Parts menu branch.
-
Click the Enter Query
button, and enter P_1N1S_E in the Object field or select it from the LOV using the List of Values 
button.
-
Click the Run Query
button to display the selected object parameter with its details.
-
Verify the records in the second (Parameter Details) block. They must include all attributes of the geometric table needed for ident generation. The attribute names must match the attribute names of the geometric tables. The value in the Kind of Detail field indicates the attribute type, such as Nominal Size, Schedule, and so forth.
