maybe you can do something like this:
1. Create a Physical file to be used as "Item Extension Description" with 
the following fields:
   Item, Motor, Horsepower, GearRatio, BoreSize, etc...
2. Use Integrator to define the file as a Secondary file and associate it 
to the Item object (if you are using PDM+)  or Item Revision (if you are 
using EPDM)
3. Define each of the fields as a Discrete Domain, then you can have:
  Field                            Value      Alias
  MOTOR                    GMTR    GEAR MOTOR
 MOTOR                     GMT2     GEAR MOTOR #2
 HORSEPOWER    .25HP      .25 HORSE POWER
 HORSEPOWER    .50HP      .50 HORSE POWER
 HORSEPOWER    .75HP      .75 HORSE POWER
 
4.   Add the fields (attributes) in the Item or Item revision card,  then 
the user can select the value using the "drop down"
5. Develop a user Exit that will concatenate all the fields into the Item

[MAPICS-L] R6 Integrator question
We are at Release 6.  I need to be able to build a part description
based on the attributes of the part, using a series of drop down
selection boxes.  For example, from drop down box 1 "gear motor" is
selected, then drop down box 2 displays for a selection of applicable
horsepowers, then drop down box 3 displays for a selection of applicable
gear ratios, then drop down box 4 displays for a selection of applicable
bore sizes.  From these selections, I would generate a part description
of "GMTR,.25HP,8.2:1,20MM" to accurately describe this part - a .25
horsepower gear motor with a 8.2:1 gear ratio and a 20mm bore.
 
Is there a way to do this within Integrator?  If so, how might I best
accomplish this?  My knowledge of Integrator is somewhat limited, so the
more detail you can provide, the better.
 
Thanks...
