The Material Description Rule node defines how the Material Description (Short Material Description) and the Material Specification (Long Material Description) for piping commodities, stock piping specialties, and stock instruments in the piping commodity material control data are created automatically. This rule is triggered by the Create material description by rule option. The option is located in the Options Dialog on the Piping Specifications Tab (Options Dialog).

When the Create material description by rule option is selected, values for the Material Description (Short Material Description) and optionally the Material Specification (Long Material Description) are created automatically when the Contractor Commodity Code or the Industry Commodity Code is created using the Select Commodity Code Dialog in the Catalog task. The Material Description (Short Material Description) and optionally the Material Specification (Long Material Description) are created based on the Piping Component Type and the Termination Class.

If you define a rule that goes to the subclass level for the selected Piping Component Class, then you need to define the rules for all the subclasses in that selected Piping component Class. You cannot define some higher level rules and some detailed rules for the same Piping Component Class.

Specify the commodity type for which you are defining a material description.

Piping Component Sub Class (Optional)

Select the piping commodity sub class.

Piping Component Class (Required)

Select the piping commodity class.

Termination Class (Optional)

Specify the termination class for which you are defining the material description.

Short Label (Required)

Enter the text for the Material Description (Short Material Description) for the piping commodity, stock piping specialty, or stock instrument.

Long Label (Optional)

Enter the text for the Material Specification (Long Material Description) for the piping commodity, stock piping specialty, or stock instrument.
