Within the automotive industry, it is vital to properly maintain parts data pertaining to country inclusion and/or exclusion to ensure market-specific coverage and legal compliance. The Country Handling solution helps users view, edit, and create accurate country handling inclusion and exclusion references for specific parts and applications. This Web UI solution also prevents users from creating conflicting inclusion and/or exclusion relationships.
The Country Handling solution can be used within an Application Manager Results Table via an 'Application Country Handling Table Header' component and within a Node Editor screen via a 'Country Handling Value' component.
