All necessary dimensions of a component are stored in geometric tables. These tables are defined and maintained on different screens, depending on the purpose of the table. The dimensions that are needed to build the idents must be stored on the S.40.12 Commodity Geometrics screen.

The structure of a geometric table must be defined on A.50.03 Tables/Attributes. Here you define which of the available five input and 15 output columns are used, and which attributes are assigned to these columns. The needed attributes are defined before on A.50.01 Attributes, and the tables with the appropriate table type (GEOM_S4012) on A.50.02 Tables.

In our example, we use the commodity geometric table P_BI_1NPS_1SCH.

Only geometrics that are linked with the commodity code can be used to provide a basis for building idents. Therefore, we must create a relation between the commodity code and the geometric using the S.40.21 Geometric Rules screen.

The displayed rule BE9L was defined for 90 degree elbows. In the second (Geometric Rule Definition) block, you can define the rules for creating the commodity geometric relations. In the Geometric field, you enter the geometric table that must be linked. The definition can be made on different levels. If you just enter the commodity group in the Group field, the commodity relations will be built for all commodity codes associated with the selected group. If you enter a group and a part, the relations will be built for all commodity codes associated with the selected part. When you enter any table details in the Used Tables and Groups block, only commodity codes with the entered property values will be linked.

The From and To fields can be used to restrict the sizes of the geometric tables that will be linked to the commodity code. For example, the geometric table contains nominal sizes from .5 to 40 in the first column input_1. When now entering 2 in the From field and 20 in the To field for Input_1, only the records with nominal size between 2 and 20 will be available to build idents.

Only geometrics with the Ident check box selected will be available for building idents.

When all definitions are made, click the Commodity Relation button to create the commodity geometric relations based on the rule. Use the S.40.22 Commodity Geometric Relations screen to verify the relations.

You can modify the relations either by changing the values in the From and To fields to restrict the geometric details, or by deleting geometric tables, which will delete the relation to all details of the geometric. Furthermore, you can manually add geometric tables with their details; these have the Manual? indicator checked.
