Prerequisites

   To create a product family you must first define all of the family members as items and the product family item. See: Defining Items and Defining Product Families.

   To assign product family members:

1. Navigate to the Product Family window.

Note: If you are using Oracle Flow Manufacturing, you can select Product Family Members from the Flow Manufacturing menu.

2. Select a product family item.

3. Select item members of the product family. The description, type, forecast control, and planning method for the member items are displayed for the items selected.

Attention: When an item is included in a product family, it will be automatically assigned to the same category as the family item.

4. Commit the record by selecting Save from the File menu.

Attention: You can commit a record without assigning planning percentages. The default planning percent is 100. The default effectivity date is the system date.
