Mapping Attribute Values to the Template

Next, map attribute values to the template.

This task is a step in Process of Creating Dynamically Generated Smart Part Numbers.

To define a mapping for each attribute value

1. In the Part Number Template list, highlight the template section for which you want to define attribute value mappings.

   The values for the attribute display in the Attribute Mapping list, below the Part Number Template list.

2. For each attribute value in Attribute Mapping, enter a mapping in the Mapping field.

   The abbreviation method uses the string in the Mapping field to determine what characters to insert in the part number for this attribute value. If you do not enter a mapping, the abbreviation method uses the attribute value as the mapping.

3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each section in Part Number Template.
