The requirement's description.
- Category
-
A code to group requirements. Examples of categories are: CUSTOMER, MARKET, MODEL, SIZE, COLOR, and so on. If you define a code in the Exclusive Indicator field in addition to a category, you have a means to determine which requirement can be linked to an effectivity unit.
- Exclusive Indicator
-
A code to indicate that for a specific effectivity unit, a requirement cannot be combined with another requirement having the same category and exclusive indicator.
The following is an example of the usage of the category and the exclusive indicator:
Requirement Category Exclusive Indicator HEAVY MODEL A NORMAL MODEL A LIGHT MODEL A W16 MODEL B W32 MODEL B BLUE COLOR A RED COLOR A The table shows that the requirements HEAVY, NORMAL and LIGHT have the same category and exclusive indicator. This means that only one of those requirements can be assigned to a specific effectivity unit. The same goes for the requirements BLUE and RED. Only one of the two requirements can be assigned to a specific effectivity unit.
