Definition

Specifies that a component variant is linked to a color scheme.

Use

You can enter the material number of a color-neutral part at a component variant. In the detail screen of the component variant, you can also reference a color scheme at which the color variants are entered. These color variants contain a color code which the system uses to supplement or overwrite the material number of the color-neutral material number at the explosion. The result is the material number of the colored material.

Example 1

In the following example, the material number of the color-neutral 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 of the color-neutral part with the color code.

Material no. color-neutral part Color code Material no. colored part

Example 2

In this example, the material number of the color-neutral and colored part is also 10 digits and the color code 3 digits. From the 8th digit, 3 digits are reserved for the color code so that the color code can be supplemented at the explosion.
