How to simply add product characteristics
Define product characteristics of different types
It's easy to add, modify, update, search and filter product features. Various types of characteristics can be recorded to
describe products. This video shows how easy it is to select the base options.
The characteristics can be shown in: Sale Order, Production Order-line, Stock Move or in Invoice Line.
This is what it looks like when a characteristic has been added in product description
Display of product characteristics in documents
The display of product characteristics in documents can be configured in many ways:- No display of characteristics
- Display only on selected document types (order, production order, delivery note, invoice)
- Display as part of the product description
- Display as a separately prepared text field
- Determination of the display order via changeable sequence

Set user permission
By default, users are not allowed to create new product characteristics. In order to grant your users these rights, you have to set "Manage Product Characteristic Values" in the technical features of the user.
Edit your product characteristics in description field
Product characteristics are appended to existing text in the description field, as a list of type-value-pairs. The list of characteristics is ordered by sequence, which can be altered in characteristics configuration.
With the following video you can see how a new characteristic is created and applied in a product.
You can define the following type by “Base Options”:
- char: Normal text
- float: Number with decimals
- date: Date field
- int: Number
- time: Time, saved as float value
- datetime: Date and Time
- selection: Single selection of given value
- selection product template: Single selection of a product template
- selection product variant: Single selection of a product variant
- multisel: Multiple selection of values

Characteristics overview
Under Sale => Configuration => Products => Product Characteristics you see all created characteristics. You can also edit them here or make assignments.
Product search by characteristics (product overview)
Products can be searched for characteristic types and values. The search criteria are processed using the $ sign.
- <characteristic type>&<value> searches for exactly the specified type-value combination
- <characteristic type>$ searches for products where the specified characteristic type is set
- $<value> searches for products, where the given characteristic value is set
Example for searching “Cable-length” with “10”:
Product search by characteristics (inline search in documents)
- <characteristic type>&<value> searches for the specified type-value combination
- <characteristic type>& searches for products where the specified characteristic type is set
- $<value> searches for products, where the given characteristic value is set
Example for searching “Cable-length” with “10”:
With a space you can add further conditions.
