How to Link Variants to an Article

When articles are linked to an article category, it is possible to configure the corresponding variants with these article(s). When the article number is received, Azumuta will display the appropriate work instruction steps based on this one-time configuration. This ensures that the operator only sees the instruction steps that apply to them for this specific article.

This ensures that no unnecessary or irrelevant steps – which apply to other variants and articles – are displayed to the operator. Thus, only the correct variant will be displayed on the work instruction steps.

Manually configuring the variants of an ERP article can be done in the following way:

  1. Click Quality Management in the homepage sidebar.
  2. Click Quality Procedures.
  3. Click an existing article category.
  4. Click the ERP Configuration tab.
  5. Click Variants ,the one next to List.
  6. Tick/untick the boxes to match the correct article to the correct variant.
