Specification plans are comprised of collection element types that specify characteristics (such as color, taste, or size), numeric measurements (such as size, viscosity, or temperature) and common objects defined in other Oracle Applications.

To view specifications:

1. Navigate to the View Specifications window.

   You can define your search criteria by specification type, item, or specification—or all of these values.
