Catalog items are generated by clicking Generate Catalog Items on the Item Layouts tab on Window 3. The generated catalog items are then displayed on the Catalog Items tab on Window 3. These automatically generated catalog items cannot be updated, but they can be deleted by using the Delete option.

Manual catalog items can also be created here. The manual catalog items are indicated with the selected Manual check box. You can update or delete these manual catalog items.

For manual catalog items, the LOV source for the input fields is taken from the default geometric assigned to the catalog section, and the LOV for detail fields is taken from the item layouts. If the default geometric is not assigned for the catalog section, the geometric from the item layouts (where the cursor is placed) is considered to be the default geometric and is used as the LOV source for the input fields. If no geometric has been defined in catalog layout and item layout, then you can manually enter the input values.

The various cases of generating catalog items are described below.

Case 1

  1. If both item details and item geometrics are specified, then the catalog items are generated as follows:

    First cross product of inputs in item geometrics is performed.

    If the range is specified for inputs and Single Price is not selected for an input range in Item Geometrics, then the input range is expanded against the corresponding geometric details to get distinct input values.

    If the range is specified for inputs and Single Price is selected for an input range in Item Geometrics, then it is considered as a single value.

    Cross combinations of inputs in Item Geometrics are performed only after expanding the input ranges.

  2. Cross product of table details of different tables is then performed.

  3. Cross product of results of step 1 and step 2 is performed, which results in the required catalog items.

Case 2

If only item details are specified in Item Layouts and Item Geometrics, and the default geometric against catalog section is not specified, then the catalog items are generated based on cross product of table details only.

Case 3

If only item details are specified in Item Layouts and Item Geometrics are not specified, but the default geometric against catalog section is specified, then the catalog items are generated as follows.

  1. Geometric details corresponding to the default geometric are considered as geometric combinations.

  2. Cross product of table details of different tables is performed.

  3. Cross product of results of step 1 and step 2 is performed, which results in the required catalog items.

Case 4

If only item geometrics are specified and item details are empty, then the catalog items are generated based on the cross product of the input columns of item geometrics.

  1. If the range is specified for inputs and Single Price is not selected for an input range in Item Geometrics, then the input range is expanded against the corresponding geometric details to get distinct input values.

  2. If the range is specified for inputs and Single Price is selected for an input range in Item Geometrics, then it is considered as a single value.

  3. Cross combinations of inputs in Item Geometrics are performed only after expanding the input ranges.

Description of the fields on the Catalog Items tab:

  • Pos - Position of the catalog item.

  • Delete - Select this option to logically delete the automatically generated catalog items.

    This option cannot be selected for manual catalog items

  • Manual -This option is automatically selected for manual catalog items and cannot be changed.

  • Item Description -User-definable description for the catalog item.

  • Input 1.. 5 - Inputs 1 to 5 of the geometric.
