Rule Table and Rules Table Name

Enter the name of a collection of data that you set up to minimize the number of assembly inclusion rules that you need for a configured item. You must define rule table names in user-defined code table 32/TN. A rule table can be accessed by 1 to 20 keys and can return up to 99 values. When you reference a rule table in an assembly inclusion rule, the system uses the rule keys to retrieve the values that are associated with the rule table. For example, if you defined segment 10 to be the color of an item, you could set the table to retrieve item Red Component when the customer enters Red for segment 10. In this example, the table would be:

Item Color: Value

Red: Red Component

The table would include the statement:

If the color segment value is red, then use item number Red Component on the configured item sales order and work order parts list.

You can create a configured table for any rule type except R (routing) rules.
