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.

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.
