Understanding Product Family and Model Combinations

Product family and model combinations are UDCs that enable you to categorize and manage the assets, as well as to track failures through a link to Failure Analysis.

You can set up product family and model combinations to assign each product model to the appropriate product family. A product family is a larger group that can contain many models. A model is a more specific group that can belong only to one product family.

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CAM, an example of product family and model combinations might be a forklift product family, with models of gas engine and electric engine. For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Service Management, an example might be a printer product family, with models of laser and inkjet.
