Product information management
Product information is the backbone of supply chain and retail applications across all industries. It refers to processes and technologies that focus on centrally managing information about products (for example, across supply chains).
It's important that shared product definitions, documentation, attributes, and identifiers be used. In the various modules of a business solution, product-specific information and configuration are required to manage the business processes that are related to specific products, product families, or product categories.
A product is primarily defined by a product number, name, and description.
However, other data is also required to describe a product or service:
- Product type Item or service
- Product subtype Distinct products or product masters
- Definition of the product variant model:
- Product dimensions and dimension groups
- Product nomenclature
- Product configuration models
- Association of the product with one or more categories
- Definition of the product and category attributes
- Product images
- Attachments
- Units of measure and related conversions
- Translations for all names and descriptions
