Selection List "Confidence Level"
Selection List "Commodity Group", "Business Unit" and "Purpose"
The list items created for commodity group and purpose are provided in the Calculations workspace of the 
should cost calculation under Details > General. This enables you to assign commodity groups & purposes to your should cost calculation to find them more quickly.
You can search for your should cost calculation in queries using the parameters "Commodity Group" / "Purpose".
Selection List "Tool Classification" and "Fixture Classification"
The classifications created for tools and fixtures are provided in the Calculations workspace at the respective calculation element under Details > Technical Data.
The classification of tools and fixtures allows you to search efficiently, rather than searching by name. FACTON provides you with the ability to search by classification.
When creating or editing elements in selection lists, you can decide whether you want to edit the name in one or more languages for each project element.
