Once you have completed your categorization of the
part, you can now map the attributes of your PLM part to your CES
category entry. You can also load existing mapping (mapping
that has already been defined for you) by clicking the Load
Existing Mapping button. For this scenario, name your mapping by entering a name in the
Mapping Name field. The Engineering Part
Attributes and Sourcing Attributes fields become
available for the mapping process.

Select the Engineering Part
Attribute drop-down menu to view the PLM attributes of your
part that you can map to the CES database. As you can see in

button to add this mapping to your list. The mapped
attribute is added to the Attribute Mapping list.
