Assigning Product Family Members

Trigger:

Concept
Each product family corresponds to an item category. A new category is added for each product
family item that is defined. The relationship between the product family item and the product
family category is established by the equality of their concatenated key flexfield segment values.
The category has the same name as the product family item. Consequently, product family item
categories have the same flexfield structure as the System Items Flexfield. A new structure called
Product Family has been defined for the Item Categories Flexfield. Each product family member
item and the product family item itself are assigned to the corresponding category within the
Product Family category set.

The assignment is removed when an item is no longer a member of a product family. When an
item is included in a product family, it will be automatically assigned to the same category as the
family item.

If you are using Oracle Flow Manufacturing, you can select the Product Family Members page
from the Flow Manufacturing menu.

In this topic, you will assign product family members.
