Custom Property Examples

Retailer X has a list attribute called Brand. This Brand attribute can be configured on the Product type so that end users can specify if a given Product instance is developed for a given Brand attribute that is owned by Retailer X.

Retailer X publishes products from PTC FlexPLM to a downstream ERP system. The ERP system identifies the Brand attribute values as given below and the ERP system requires these values to be transmitted when publication occurs.

For example, if the product named #123 has a Brand attribute value of Metro in PTC FlexPLM and it is published to the ERP system, the ERP system expects to see a value of b002. To meet these requirements, Retailer X can configure a custom enumeration entry property named ERP Code to store the ERP-specific values for the Brand attribute. Once the ERP Code custom property has been created, an administrator can update the enumeration entries with the expected ERP Code property values.
