Managing Product Attribute Rules and Attribute Value Matrices
Product Attribute Rules (PAR)
PAR are a set of rules that govern the behavior and constraints of product attributes within the Conga Platform. These rules ensure that product configurations follows predefined standards and business logic.
Key Components
- Attribute Definition: Specifies the characteristics and constraints of an attribute.
- Product Scope: Define the product, product family, and product group.
- Rule Actions: Outline the actions to be taken when the conditions are met, such as updating values or triggering notifications.
Use cases
- Ensuring Data Integrity: Enforcing constraints on attribute values to maintain data accuracy.
- Automating Processes: Triggering automated actions based on attribute values.
- Enhancing Product Configurability: Enabling complex product configurations through dynamic attribute rules.
Attribute Value Matrices (AVM)
AVMs provide a structured way to manage and map out the relationships between different attribute values. This matrix format allows the management of complex attribute dependencies and combinations.
Key components
- Matrix Definition: Specifies the structure and dimensions of the matrix, defining which attributes are included.
- Attribute Scope: Define the product, product family, product group, and account location.
- Value Mapping: Details the possible values for each attribute and how they interrelate within the matrix.
- Dependency Rules: Outline the dependencies and constraints between different attribute values.
Use cases
- Managing Complex Configurations: Simplifying the management of products with multiple interdependent attributes.
- Ensuring Consistency: Maintaining consistent and valid attribute value combinations across products.
- Streamlining Product Setup: Facilitating the efficient setup and modification of product configurations through structured attribute management.
