attribute (FS-AM-PR-PR)

Financial Condition (FS-AM-PR-PR)

A way of describing a product that is entered in the attribute hierarchy of a product category.

An attribute offers the option of describing a characteristic or a function of a product. Fields or functions in a contract can have corresponding attributes in the product. Only contract fields and functions that can be changed need to have corresponding attributes in the product category. Fields and features of a contract specialization that cannot be changed do not need to be created as attributes of the corresponding product category.

Example

It would not be meaningful to create the acceleration of gravity g as attribute, as this has the fixed value of 9,80665 m/s2. This can be specified in the contract as constant. It would only be meaningful to assign a corresponding attribute to the product category of the contract if showing or hiding the field were required for certain contracts in the context of the field modifications.
