Insert Processes
Processes that are required for manufacturing, continue to be added to the Part »Motor Shaft«. Related processes can be structured using the grouping. The grouping itself has no function in product costing.
The units are preconfigured in FACTON. If you want to enter a value in a different unit, you can toggle between the units using the selection list.
