M3 Attribute Control

Infor M3 Attribute Control enables you to use attributes to assign characteristics to an individual lot or stocked entity of an item. A collection of attributes can be collected and stored when a lot or balance ID is created in stock. These attributes can be used to define natural and variable characteristics of an item across different lots such as grade, fat content, protein, brix, density and moisture.

You can request a specific set of attributes when you order or demand an item from a customer order or manufacturing order. The requested set of attributes can then be utilized to match your demand against future planned supply or a specific lot in stock.

Attributes are actively used across the supply chain in processes such as material planning, costing and stock valuation, purchase and sales order pricing, available-to-promise and allocation.
