Master Grids 

Use

You use the master grid to enter all grid values in which a material can occur. 

Features

You define one master grid for each of your AFS materials in the AFS Basic Data view in the material master.  Once you have confirmed this assignment, you can no longer replace the master grid with another one.

The master grid is valid across all plants for your material. Using the master grid you specify:

·        Which dimensions characterize the material

·        How many dimensions are contained in a grid value

·        Which combinations of dimension values you want to allow as grid values

You can add grid values to the master grid any time. These values then apply for all referenced materials.

For each dimension you can also specify (and change any time):

·        The axis on which it appears in the grid entry screen

·        Which ranking it has in the sorting sequence of the line entry screen

·        Whether you want the dimension values to be converted

·        Whether you want all dimension values to be displayed in the grid entry or only the valid ones
