Expert

Use

The data stored in specification management is sometimes interdependent and properties can be derived from other properties using rules. Using the Expert add-on application, you can:

  • Define sets of rules and create and edit the corresponding mapping tables

  • Derive secondary data for specification data using these sets of rules and mapping tables

For example, you can set up the system so that appropriate R and S phrases are derived for certain specification data and are then stored in the SAP system accordingly.
