What is a Product?

In Aletiq, a Product centralizes all the technical data related to a physical object throughout its lifecycle (design, production, quality, versioning).
A product can be either:

  • an Article (finished good or component)

  • or a Tooling (internal resource used to manufacture articles)

💡 A Product is distinct from its manufactured instances, which are called Passports (Work Orders) in Aletiq.

Create a new Product in Aletiq

From the Home Page

  1. Click on next to the Articles section

  2. Fill in the form.

From the Articles Page

  • Click on the + New Article button

  • Fill in the form

💡If a Class is selected, an Id can be automatically generated

From the Parts Page

You can create one or several Products at once, depending on the number of selected parts.

For a single product:

  • Open the detail panel of a CAD part

  • Click on New Product in the Product tab

💡 The selected parts will be automatically linked to the created products.

For multiple products:

  • Select multiple parts

  • Click Create Products in the selection toolbar

  • Fill in the properties and confirm

From an ERP Integration

It is possible to set up an automatic synchronization of articles, either from an ERP system to Aletiq or from Aletiq to an ERP.

This setup depends on the specific context and needs and must be defined and implemented with the Aletiq team.

Link Data to a Product

To add context and improve traceability, you can associate all technical data to a product by linking them.

Link a Document to a Product

  • Open the 📁 Documents tab

  • Click on ♾️ Link document or ➕ New document

  • Select the document and click Confirm

🔁 Aletiq links between two objects can be created from either side.
For example, you can also link a product from a document’s detail panel:

  • Open the Products tab

  • Click on ♾️ Link products

  • Select products and click Confirm

You can also link several documents to a product from the documents page

💡 Good to Know

  • You can also link parts, toolings, projects, and workflows to a product
