Definition

Specifies where the color supplement key is inserted in the material number.

Note

You have ensured that there are sufficient free digits in the material number for the color supplement key so that the color supplement key

  • does not overwrite digits that are no longer intended for the color supplement key when it is inserted into the material number
  • does not increase the number of digits so that the material number is longer when the color supplement key is inserted at the end of the material number

Example 1

The material number for the color-neutral part and the colored part is 10 digits. The color code is 3 digits and is inserted at the fifth digit in the material number. The system overwrites three digits of the material number for the color-neutral part with the color code.
