Equipment and Attributes

Use these steps below to associate basic data with the equipment and its attributes.

Note: If the basic data associated with the equipment and its attributes (including the attributes cost and pricing information) is not configured correctly, the quotation process will not operate as designed.
  1. Define the attribute model in 'Attribute Model. Open' (ATS050). This attribute model is linked to the equipment in 'Item. Open' (MMS001)
  2. Link the attributes (such as engine size or gearbox type) in 'Attribute Model. Connect Attributes' (ATS051).

    • Grouping of attributes for display in the Equipment Configurator is based on the display group associated with the equipment configurator in ATS051.

    • Display options control if you want radio button or drop-down lists as a display in the Equipment Configurator

      To set a display group, use 'Display Group .Open' (ATS014).

  3. Define the attributes in 'Attribute. Open' (ATS010).

    It is recommended to have attribute values set as items. In that case, set the check-box 'Item attribute' on the attribute in ATS010.

  4. Define the value for each attribute in 'Attribute Matrix. Enter Values' (ATS022).

    Attribute values for a fuel tank might be for example the item number for "standard", "fast-fill" etc.

  5. To configure dependencies between attributes open 'Attribute-Dependent Objects. Open' (ATS040) and navigate to 'Attribute-Dependent ID. Open' (ATS041).

    In ATS041, define which attributes are dependant on each other (for example engine and gearbox). This will allow you to define the actual values in 'Attribute-Dependent Values. Open' (ATS042).

  6. To set up default attributes values, go to 'Item. Connect Alias Number' (MMS025). Using alias number in EQM makes it possible to directly retrieve a pre-configured equipment.
