What is a product definition and how are they used?
A product definition is a combination of a bill of materials and a routing to produce an output product. It can be defined based on the production quantity or quantity range, for various combinations of the product, organizational unit, process, variant, definition type, and production unit of measure. The Nextworld product definition also supports a shared bill of materials (used by different manufacturing plants or routings) and a shared routing (used by different products or batch sizes).
A product definition can be attached to a work order so it provides the work order with materials and routing operations that are necessary to produce the product.
