Code Group

Definition

Code groups are used to combine and structure codes within a catalog type
.
Use

You use code groups at client level to group codes that have the same contents or relate to one another, within a catalog type. Codes, that are assigned to a code group are also known as group codes.

When you maintain the code group index, the system locks the required catalog type for other users. However, if you use the individual maintenance function, only the required code group is locked.
You can create texts for code groups and codes in different languages.
Structure

You can group together codes for different colors, surface characteristics or usage options:

Code Group	Overview of Codes
Color	Red
	Brown
	Blue
	Violet
	Yellow
	White
Surface characteristic	Rough
	Smooth
	Matt
	Shiny

Integration

• You can copy code groups or individual group codes into selected sets.
• Code groups can be used in inspection plans or master inspection characteristics, depending on the processing status:

Status	Effects
Being created	You cannot use the code group yet in the master inspection characteristic or inspection plan.
Released	You can use the code group in other applications.
Can no longer be used	The code group is not to be used in the future. It can, however, still be in use.
Deletion flag	In the deletion process, the system checks whether the code group is being used. If there is no link to the code group, then it is deleted. If there is a link, then you cannot delete the code group. When the catalog entries code and code group are first used, a usage indicator is set. This prevents these objects from being accidentally deleted.
