Smart Materials/Smart Reference Data Version
2020 (10.0)

You can use the SPRD Explorer screen to browse your reference data and to search for groups, parts, commodity codes, and idents, using filter criteria for group, part, commodity code properties (table name, group, details), and commodity codes. From the SPRD Explorer, you can access the main functions for creating, updating, and deleting relevant data in this range of topics.

For use in downstream modules, the SPRD Explorer provides the ident collection cart (ICC), a simple and user-friendly method of collecting pre-defined material in a cart. This cart can then be used in downstream modules to populate, for example, bill of materials, requisitions, and agreements.

You can open the SPRD Explorer directly from the Smart Reference Data > SPRD Explorer menu branch. Or, you click the SPRD Explorer button on any of the screens listed below.

  • B.20.03 Advanced Maintain BOM in the E&PI (BOM) module

  • R.30.01 Requisitions in the E&PI(Req) module

  • P.50.07 Maintain Agreements in the MSCM module

  • C.20.03 Prepare MRR by Direct Receive in the Site module

  • AS.10.02 Price Data in the Assessments module

  • E.10.02 Estimations in the Estimations module

The hierarchical tree displays commodity groups, commodity parts, commodity codes, and idents, as well as ident values and attribute groups in their hierarchical structure. The legend on the right shows the symbols used in the tree.

The first level displays all existing commodity groups that are available for the current login, including all assigned queryable disciplines. Expanding the nodes of the first level, you will find all existing commodity parts for the selected group at the second level. The third level shows all existing commodity codes for the selected part. Level four shows the available idents for a selected commodity code.

If applicable, the attribute groups are displayed at level five and the attributes at level six. Both levels five and six do not have any special functionality such as double-clicking or a right mouse-click menu to open assigned screens.

The picture below shows an example of the tree structure with all levels expanded.

The sort order of the SPRD Explorer tree is controlled by the project default ZS_RD_SORT.

  • If ZS_RD_SORT is set to B (default), the tree will be sorted by commodity group, commodity part, commodity code, and ident code.

  • If ZS_RD_SORT is set to D, the tree will be sorted by discipline and within the discipline by commodity group, commodity part, commodity code, and ident code. With ZS_RD_SORT set to D, the discipline of a group is displayed in brackets behind the short description of the commodity groups.

In the top right-hand corner of the screen you can find buttons to be used with the tree. Click the Refresh Tree button after you have updated or deleted data. Using this button also shows all available data again after you have performed a search that restricted the displayed items.

Click the button to collapse the selected node and the button to expand the selected node.
