Relation details

The relation details page allows defining new, editing, or deleting an existing relation and its values. A relation connects specific parameter(s) values to specific stock items

The Stock -> Stock settings -> Relations section shows the list of all parameters.

The relations are a core part of the Matrix BOM / BOM with Parameters functionality.

• Relations define which stock items should be used in case of different variations of the final product.
• For example, if a sewing company produces the same dress in several different colors, it can define that if the dress is white (i.e. the color parameter value is white), white textile must be used, if it is black (i.e. the color parameter color value is black) – black textile, etc.
• Relations are used in BOMs instead of particular stock items. When a new manufacturing order is created, all relations are replaced with particular stock items based on the chosen parameter values of the final product.
• See examples of how to set up a BOM with Parameters.
