Notes

Notes:

  • After a part is added to a transaction, Part Attribute Set attribute values, including Part Custom Fields, cannot be modified in the Transaction UI by the user or through (advanced) modify, integrations, or API calls. Part fields can only be modified in the Part Editor. The Attribute Editor - Document View settings do NOT change access for these attributes on the Transaction UI.
  • To change the order of the attributes in the part attribute set, refer to Reorder Commerce Attributes.
  • If an attribute in the part attribute set is renamed and then removed, the Parts administration name will display for that attribute. The default name for standard part attributes is set by the system. While the default name for custom part attributes is set in Part Custom Fields administration.
  • Attributes that are referenced in Commerce (BML, rules, etc.) cannot be unselected.
  • Attributes that are unselected are removed from the Commerce process.
  • Part Number and Part Display Number attributes cannot be removed from the Part Attribute Set. They are the minimum mandatory attributes for the Part Attribute Set.

Tips:

  • New standard part fields are automatically available for BMQL and the formula query function.
  • Administrators need to explicitly expose new fields in the following areas:
    • Commerce Part Attribute Set, refer to Manage Part Attributes.
    • Configuration Recommended Items page, refer administrators can navigate to Admin > Page Templates > Templates for Recommended Items Page and deselect the Always Hide option for the applicable field.

    • Part Associations Page, Part Display Page, and Parts Search Results Page, administrators must add the new standard part fields to an XSL template (the new fields are not available for the Default Template).

      For instruction to modify XSL templates, refer to Page Templates.
