You use this function to enter the individual components of a specification.

For value assignment types of the category Composition you can enter additional quantitative values, whereas for value assignment types of the category Listing, you can list the components without details.

All components you want to assign to a specification must exist as specifications in specification management.

When you choose a value assignment type of the value assignment category Composition or Listing, the system also displays the Composition or Listing tab page.

Firstly you define the reference value for component entries for each composition, that is you define in which dimension the components are specified (such as weight, percent in weight, volume, percent in volume). The reference value then controls which units are available for specifying the component proportions. You specify the reference values in Customizing for Product Safety in the IMG activity Specify Reference Values for the Composition.

When you enter the concentration or quantity of individual components, you can make the following entries:

• Average proportion
• Accuracy lower limit (<, <=, >, >=)
• Lower limit
• Accuracy upper limit (<, <=, >, >=)
• Upper limit
• Unit

You can enter the respective components for these value assignment types without entering the component type and concentration or quantity.
