Geometric rules are used to create relationships between commodity codes and geometrics. These relationships are necessary for building idents. Only geometrics that are linked with commodity codes can be used as a basis for building idents.

Each geometric rule can have multiple geometric rule definitions. A geometric rule definition consists of a component (commodity group, commodity part, commodity code), a dimensional attributes table (geometric), and a definition (formula). To restrict the geometric table, you can define ranges for the geometric value. The figure below illustrates the process using an example.

Geomtric rules

Geometric rule definition can apply to:

  • Group

    Applies to all the commodity codes under the given group.

  • Group, part

    Applies to all the commodity codes under the given part.

  • Group, part, commodity code

    Applies to the chosen commodity code.

  • Group, table details

    Applies to all the commodity codes under that group with the given table details.

  • Group, part, table details

    Applies to all the commodity codes under that part with the given table details.

Geometric Rule Definitions grid

Commodity Relation - Click this button to create the commodity geometric relationships.

If the Ident box is selected, the software checks the consistency of the geometric, that is, whether the geometric matches the object parameter assigned to the commodity codes. Existing relationships are deleted and then re-created (manual relationships are left alone). If the Ident box is not selected, the software builds the relationships without performing the consistency check.

Sequence - Enter a numeric value between 1 and 99999, or accept the automatically generated value.

Ident - Select this option if you want the building idents process to use this relationship.

Group - Specifies a commodity group.

Part - Specifies a commodity part from the selected commodity group.

Commodity Code - Specifies a commodity code from the selected commodity group and part.

Geometric - Specifies a geometric code.

Formula - Specifies a geometric formula, which allows new geometrics to be created from existing geometric tables.

From 1, To 1, and so on - Specifies input values of the geometric details of the selected geometric. You can also enter a user-defined value that is not in the Selection list LOV.

Geometric Rule Definition Details grid

Sequence - Allows you to enter a numeric value between 1 and 99, or accept the automatically generated value.

Table - Specifies a table related to the commodity rule.

Table Group - Specifies a table group related to the selected table.

Table Detail - Specifies a table detail for the selected table group.
