In general, material requirements may include an acceptable tolerance range in addition to a distinct target quantity, how is this handled?
These can easily be handled using properties. The property model is used to support the industry and even company specific needs, such as tolerances. Standard XML representations of Unit Of Measure (UOM) conversions (with user-definable units of measure) might be useful. Might include from/to/multiplier, etc. The UOM issue is bigger then S95, this is something that EbXML or OAG will have to address. If not, there is an ISO standard that defines all “international” UOM, but that might not work in the USA (and the few other countries notusing metric). Basically the agreeing parties will need to agree on the acceptable units of measure. A generalized mechanism for associating/recording comments, exceptions, or deviations with a production or equipment entity might be useful. These can be properties of the equipment, or in the multiple descriptions of the elements. If the comments need to be exchanged, because they are recorded by one system and consumed by another, then you should create
