Concept
You can define three specification types: item, supplier, and customer.

• If the specification type is based on the item, it will ensure that the items that are
produced conform to the specified requirements.
• If the specification type is based on supplier, it will ensure that the items received from
suppliers conform to supplier requirements.
• If the specification type is customer, it will ensure that the items shipped to customers
conform to customer requirements.

You can also define more detailed specifications by using specification subtypes.
