Connect Attribute Model to Item

This document explains how you connect an attribute model to one or several items.

Outcome

The item is set to be attribute managed and can be used in attribute control.

Attribute handling will start to work when the item is set to be attribute managed. You are then able to use attributes when handling orders, warehouses, sales and purchase prices, etc.

The item master file (MITMAS) is updated.

Before you start
