Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations has evolved into purpose-built applications to help you manage specific business functions. For more information about these changes, see Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide.
This topic provides information about the various types of product identifiers and explains how you can add product identifiers in your product data.
When you work with products on the shop floor or in a warehouse in Microsoft Dynamics ERP or Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you must have a good strategy for identifying those products and product variants.
Unique product number/product ID
In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, the primary identifier for a product is the product number (that is, the unique product ID). This number can be automatically generated by a number sequence or manually associated with a product. For product variants, the numbers can be defined through the product nomenclature template.
In many cases, the product number isn't originally created in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Instead, it's associated with a product in a product lifecycle management (PLM) system or a product data management (PDM) system. In this case, you use data entities to import the products and product variants. Supply Chain Management then uses the numbers in all operations.
When you implement Supply Chain Management, you should give special consideration to your strategy for product numbers. A good numbering system improves logistics flows and helps prevent errors. A good product identifier has a maximum of 15 characters. Ideally, it has fewer than 10 characters and includes no more than five classifying characters. You can also use search names to enable quick searches. A search name is an additional name that represents the classifications of a product.
When you use Common Data Service, the product number in Supply Chain Management is also the product number in the Common Data Service. Product variants are synchronized to the Common Data Service as distinct products.
Item number and product dimensions
The item number is the product identifier that is used by a specific legal entity. Ideally, the item number should be identical to the product number. If the nomenclature differs per legal entity, it becomes difficult to follow a product throughout the supply chain, and burdensome relabeling and referencing processes are introduced. For compatibility with older versions (that is, with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 and earlier), we have preserved this model. However, we recommend that you eliminate identifiers that are specific to legal entities whenever you can, and that you use the unique product number as the primary identifier instead.
Additionally, a product variant can't be uniquely identified by an item number. It always requires the combination of an item number and all the product dimensions that are defined on the product master. This requirement can become cumbersome and can slow down the identification processes. For this reason too, we recommend that you use the unique product number instead the item number whenever you can.
Many pages still have the item number and product dimensions as the primary identifiers. However, the product numbers can be used for searches. At Sales and marketing > Setup > Search > Search parameters, you can change the search lookup so that it uses product numbers instead of item numbers as the primary search strategy. If you set the Enable lookup for product search option to Yes, the lookup will show not only product masters but product variants. For more information, see Search for products and product variants during order entry.
Additionally, you will be able to search and filter on the product number, the product name and description, and the product dimension IDs of the product variant. When you select a variant, the related item number and all product dimension IDs will be selected. Therefore, you can more easily find and select the correct variant. This setting is highly recommended if you use product variants and the unique product number as the primary identifiers for products. The only exception might be the fashion industry, where the business processes often require that you select the master before you select a variant. You should carefully evaluate this option before you implement the numbering system.
Note
The item number for a product can't be changed once one or more transactions exist for that product.
Product name and description
The product name and description are the human-readable identifiers of a product and can be maintained in many languages. By default, the Supply Chain Management client shows all product information in the default company language, not in the user's language. However, translated product names and descriptions are used in all communication with customers and vendors. The translations are based on the language code of the customer and vendor accounts.
For product variants, the product name can be generated through a product nomenclature template. Because there is no requirement that product names be unique, you might find multiple products that have the same name.
Product and item search names
Supply Chain Management offers a secondary search name for products and also for items (released products). This search name doesn't have to be unique, and it can be changed after a product or product variant is created. We recommend that you use the search name to search for products by categories. The search names enable quick searches, especially in sales and purchase processes.
![Groups Groups](https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/Campus/cisco-sda-design-guide.docx/_jcr_content/renditions/cisco-sda-design-guide_10.jpg)
The search name can also contain a customer or vendor product ID, or some other external product ID, if this external ID is the primary search criterion for a product.
External product identifiers (Customer and vendor identifiers)
For released products, you can maintain the item numbers, item names, and item descriptions that the customer or vendor uses. The references are shown on external documents, such as sales orders, purchase orders, packing slips, and invoices. In the current version of Supply Chain Management, the external references aren't shown on core operations pages. The only exception is the vendor item number. This number is shown in the Product information dialog box if a default vendor is defined for the released product.
You can maintain the external product identifiers by released product, released product variant, customer or customer group, or vendor or vendor group.
On the Released products page, follow one of these steps.
- For customers, on the Sell tab, in the Related information group, select External item description.
- For vendors, on the Purchase tab, in the Related information group, select External item description.
On the External item descriptions page, you can associate the customer's or vendor's item number with a released product. This association must be done for each legal entity. The following information can be captured. Unfortunately, the labels are slightly misleading in the current version of Supply Chain Management. However, these labels might be changed in a future version.
Field | Corresponding customer information | Corresponding vendor information |
---|---|---|
External item number | The customer's item number | The vendor's item number |
Description | The name that the customer associates with the item | The name that the vendor associates with the item |
External item text | The customer's item description | The vendor's item description |
If many customers or vendors use the same item numbers (as in the case of a purchase association or a commerce group, for example), you can create groups of customer or vendors to simplify the maintenance of external product information.
- For customer groups, go to Sales > Setup > Items > External item description to create and maintain the groups and the related item numbers. To associate customers with a group, go to Accounts receivable > Customers > All customers, and then, on the Sales order defaults FastTab, specify a value in the Item - customer group field.
- For vendor groups, go to Procurement and sourcing > Setup > External item description group to create and maintain the groups the related item numbers. To associate vendors with a group, go to Accounts payable > Vendors > All vendors, and then, on the Purchase order defaults FastTab, specify a value in the Item - vendor group field.
Bar codes
If you want to use a bar code scanner to identify products, the product identifier must meet the requirements of the bar code standard that is used. Therefore, bar codes don't typically contain the raw product number but a number that is generated specifically for the selected bar code technology. You can maintain multiple bar codes by bar code type. You can even associate the same bar code with multiple products and then select the actual active association when you scan a bar code.
Rgs rebar software free with crack. Before you define bar codes, you can define one or more bar code setups. The bar code setups can help validate that bar codes follow the required guidelines, and that they can therefore be effectively printed and scanned. You can also maintain special bar codes for specific product quantities.
We recommend that you use the bar code setup to maintain Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) or International Article Number (EAN) codes.
To maintain bar codes, on the Released products page, on the Manage inventory tab, in the Warehouse group, select Bar codes.

GTIN codes
In e-commerce, it's crucial that all parties speak a common language and refer to products by using a common set of identifiers. Therefore, some industries rely on the GTIN, which is a global item number system that is facilitated by GS1.
We recommend that you maintain the GTIN as a bar code. However, you can also maintain it on the Item - GTIN page. To open this page, on the Released products page, on the Manage inventory tab, in the Warehouse group, select GTIN codes. Note that the GTIN isn't maintained as a global number. Instead, it's maintained by legal entity.
In Supply Chain Management, you define packaging variants in the warehouse operations by defining specific units of measure. For example, an item might be stored in pieces, in bundles of six, in trays of 18, or in full pallets. A specific unit of measure will be defined for each of these packaging variants. Because the GTIN is typically related to the packaging unit of a product, the Item - GTIN page lets you maintain multiple GTIN codes per product and unit of measure. However, you can't use the same GTIN code more than one time for different items or product variants of a legal entity.
To maintain GTIN codes, on the Released products page, on the Manage inventory tab, in the Warehouse group, select GTIN.
External codes
Numbers Groups And Codes Solution Manual Free
External codes can be defined for many entities. For example, you can define external codes to identify products and released products. These external codes can be used to associate statistical codes or tax codes with released products and released product variants. External codes are defined by legal entity and code type. They must be unique by legal entity, code type, and table reference.
Unfortunately, there is no standard functionality that lets you search for products by external codes.
Data entities that are used to import and export product identifiers
Entity name | Import identifiers | Export identifiers | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Products V2 | Product number, product search name, product name, product description | Product number, product search name, product name, product description | Depending on the settings of the entity and the number sequence for the product number, the product number can be automatically created at the time of import. |
Product variants | Product number, product search name, product name, product description | Product number, product search name, product name, product description | Depending on the product nomenclature template, the product number can be automatically created at the time of import. However, you can import any unique product number, and that product number doesn't have to follow the structure of the product nomenclature templates. |
Product translations | Product name, product description | Product name, product description | This entity overwrites any language. Note that when the name or description of a legal entity's primary language is overwritten, the name and description of the product itself is changed. |
Released product creation V2 | Item number, product number, item search name | Item number, product number, item search name, product search name, product name | This entity can be a challenge when number sequences are used during the creation of new released products. Both the Item number number sequence and the Product number number sequence have an influence. However, the Item number number sequence is per legal entity, whereas the Product number number sequence is global. Therefore, we don't recommend that you use the Item number number sequence when you deploy new released products. Obviously, when the entity is used to release an existing product, the product number must be given in the entity. For more information, see the 'Product and item number sequences' section in this topic. |
Released product variants | Item number, product dimensions, product number | Product number, product search name, product name, product description, product dimensions | Like the Product variants entity, this entity can be used to create new products that either follow the product nomenclature template or use their own product numbers for the variant. |
External item description for customers | Customer item number, customer item name, customer description, customer account | Customer item number, customer item name, customer description, customer account | A group of customers (for example, a buyer association) can be aggregated into one group by using the External item description customer groups entity. |
External item description for vendors | Vendor item number, vendor item name, vendor description, vendor account | Vendor item number, vendor item name, vendor description, vendor account | A group of vendors (for example, a sales association or industry organization) can be aggregated into one group by using the External item description vendor groups entity. |
Item Barcode | Bar code | Bar code | Note that, at the time of import, you must refer to a bar code setup that is defined in the target system. The imported bar code references are validated against that bar code setup and are rejected if the bar codes don't match the requirements that are defined in that bar code setup. |
External codes for released products | External code | External code, external code classes, item number | External codes are by legal entity. For import, you must refer to a defined code class. Import the code classes by using the External code classes for released products entity. |
External codes for released product variants | External code | External code, external code classes, item number, product dimensions | External codes are by legal entity. For import, you must refer to a defined code class. Import the code classes by using the External code classes for released products entity. This entity refers to product variants by the item number and product dimensions. |
External codes for released product variants by product number identifier | External code | External code, external code classes, product number | External codes are by legal entity. For import, you must refer to a defined code class. Import the code classes by using the External code classes for released products entity. This entity refers to product variants by the product number of the variant. (From the next major release) |
GTIN | Not applicable | Not applicable | Currently, there is no specific entity that is used to import and export GTIN codes. We recommend that you use the Item Barcode entity instead. |
Product entity common data service identifier entity | Not applicable | Item number, item search name, product search name, vendor item number, customer item number, external codes, GTIN codes, bar codes | This entity consolidates all identifiers into one data model, so that one interface can be used to easily export all identifiers and their related types. Use the Product entity identifier code entity to export the identifier codes and descriptions. Use the Product entity identifier scope entity to export additional scope information to an identifier, such as the party, legal entity, quantity, or unit. |
Product and item number sequences
You can define two different number sequences:
- The Product number number sequence for the global product number
- The Item number number sequence for the item number per legal entity
Note
You should use the item number as a separate identifier only when you migrate different legal entities from different sources that had different numbering systems. You should always try to use a product identifier that is unique across all legal entities. Therefore, you should set the Manual option to Yes for the Item number number sequence. In this way, the item number will follow the product number on creation. If Supply Chain Management isn't the leading system for new product numbers, you should set the Manual option to Yes for both the Item number and Product number number sequences.
When you use the Released product creation V2 entity to create products, multiple settings can affect how the number sequences are used to create the product number and item number:
- Settings of the Product number number sequence
- Settings of the Item number number sequence
- The mapping of the item number
- The mapping of the product number
The following table provides an overview of the results of import and manual creation when specific combinations of the number sequence and field mapping settings.
Product number number sequence | Item number number sequence | Mapping of the item number | Mapping of the product number | Result of entity import | Result of manual creation | Conclusion |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Manual = No | Manual = No | No mapping | No mapping | Product numbers use the Product number number sequence. Item numbers use the Item number number sequence. | Product numbers use the Product number number sequence. Item numbers use the Item number number sequence. | With this configuration, product numbers will follow the product number sequence and item numbers will follow the item number sequence. However, this configuration won't work if there is more than one item (row) to be imported. |
Manual = No | Manual = Yes | Auto generate | No mapping | Both product numbers and item numbers use the Item number number sequence. | Both product numbers and item numbers use the Product number number sequence. | Both product numbers and item numbers will follow the product number sequence. This is the recommended approach to import bulk products with the Released product creation V2 data entity. |
Manual = No | Manual = Yes | No mapping | No mapping | Both product numbers and item numbers use the Product number number sequence. | Both product numbers and item numbers use the Product number number sequence. | Both product numbers and item numbers will use the product number sequence. However, this configuration won't work if there is more than one item (row) to be imported. |
Manual = Yes | Not applicable | Not applicable | Auto generate | You receive the following error message: 'Number sequence can't be detected.' | According to the Item number number sequence | This setting isn't supported for import. |
Product entity identifier (Export all product identifiers)
The product entity identifier model was created to enable version 1.0 of the CDS to be provisioned with all identifiers that are used to refer to a product. To simplify this task, all identifiers are aggregated into one global identifier table, so that they can be exported as one model. Note that this version of the CDS doesn't use the product identifiers model. Therefore, the Product entity common data service identifier entity entity and this process have limited practical use and will likely be subject to change in the future.
The product identifier table is a global table that is populated from all reference tables of the Main legal entity through a recurring batch job. You must select a legal entity and a product category hierarchy as the definition of the global product master scope. Generation of the global product identifier table is limited to products that are released to the selected legal entity and products that are members of the product hierarchy that is selected for the Common data service role in the product category hierarchy.
This process assumes that product master data is primarily maintained in one central legal entity. (However, this legal entity can be a virtual legal entity that is used only to maintain global master data.)
Follow these steps to configure the environment.
- Select the category hierarchy for the CDS. On the Category hierarchy role associations page, if no hierarchy is associated with the Common data service role, you must create a new association. Select the Common data service role, and then associate the category hierarchy that represents the product portfolio that should be synchronized to the CDS.
- Select the legal entity for global product master data. On the Product information management parameters page, on the Product attributes tab, select the master company where the product and item identifiers are primarily maintained.
- Define the identifier code types and codes that should be exported. Go to Product information management > Setup > Product identifier codes. To generate the identifier code types, select Generate codes. A code type entry is generated for each type for identifier that is found in the selected legal entity.Install catalytic converter without welding. Note that, for bar codes, a code type is generated for each bar code setup. For external codes, a code type is generated for each external code class.You can now maintain the list of code types. You can change the code, name, and description. You can also delete code types. Code types that you delete won't be used to populate the global product entity identifier tables.
- When you've finished defining the product identifier code types, you can create the identifiers in the global table by starting the Create product entity identifiers job on the Product entity identifier codes page. You should run this job in a batch. This job should be set up as a periodic batch job so that the table is populated according to new entries.
You can now use the Product entity common data service identifier entity, Product entity identifier code, and Product entity identifier scope data entities to export the identifiers for any target system.

SFI Primary Groups
The SFI Group System is the most widely used classification system for the maritime and offshore industry worldwide. Mac os x 10.4 tiger for intel x86 dmg. It is an international standard, which provides a functional subdivision of technical and financial ship or rig information.
SFI consists of a technical account structure covering all aspects of ship/rig specification, and it can be used as a basic standard for all systems in the shipping/offshore industry.
More than 6000 SFI systems have been installed worldwide.
SFI is used by shipping and offshore companies, shipyards, consultancies, software suppliers, authorities and classification societies.
Background, Purpose, and Advantages[edit]
Background[edit]
The SFI Group System was first released in 1972 as the result of a research project undertaken by the Ship Research Institute of Norway (SFI: Skipsteknisk Forskningsinstitutt). Today, sales, marketing and upgrading of the SFI Group System is undertaken by SpecTec.
Purpose and Advantages[edit]
The main purpose of the SFI Group System is to help shipping and offshore companies control operations by tying together all their procedures such as purchasing, accounting, maintenance, technical records, etc.The SFI Group System provides major advantages for shipping and offshore operations in the following areas:
- Communication
- Computerisation
- Cooperation
- Cost Control
- Cost Comparison
- Development
- Education and Training
- Quality Control
- Standardisation
Scope[edit]
When the SFI Group System was established, the intention was that it should be capable of accommodating all relevant ship or rig types, and it should be a common code for the flow of information between different enterprises within the maritime and offshore industry.
The system should be independent of company organization and methods of ship building, ship operation, maintenance and repair. It should further lend itself to be updated with regard to new ship types and new technology. In order to meet the purpose of and the requirements to the system, the ships were divided into functions. The ship functions are common to all parties who are concerned with the specification, building and operation of ships.
In addition to the Group System with Detail Code, it may be necessary for each user to develop special codes, such as plan of finance accounts for budgeting and cost control of total company operation.
Shipyards using the SFI Group System for planning and control of production will require a supplementary company internal Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).Shipping companies using the SFI Group System for operation and maintenance planning and control, will require a coding system for consumables.
The Problems SFI Can Solve[edit]
Controlling Shipping and Offshore Operations[edit]
The SFI Group System Graphtec fc4100 driver xp. improves the control and quality assurance of activities such as maintenance, purchasing, accounting and record keeping within shipping and offshore operations.
SFI provides shipping and offshore companies, shipyards, authorities, suppliers and consultants with a common plan of technical account/codes in the handling of:
- Specifications
- Estimates
- Drawings
- Purchase
- Material Administration
- Maintenance and Repair Planning
- Instruction Material
- Budgets and Cost Control
- Files
The areas of system utilization are steadily increasing, and the system has contributed to increased efficiency in the maritime industry. The SFI Group Systemis a particularly useful tool when routines are being established according to the quality loop (ref. ISO 9004, par. 5.1).
SFI Quality Loop
Specifications[edit]
Specifications are normally established at different levels of detail: Outline, Contract, Building, As Built and Repair Specifications. Technical descriptions of components should be part of the As Built Specification and should follow the SFI Detail Code.
The database version of the Group System lends itself especially well to the development of the various specifications. A report generator makes it easy for the user to edit specifications according to requirements.Specifications may be related to different Group System levels. Pinnacle themes winter pack serial number.
- Outline specifications to Primary Group level
- Functional requirements to Secondary Group level
- Functional solutions to Tertiary Group level
- Component selections to Detail Code level
Estimates[edit]
As estimates are based on specifications, they should follow the same breakdown structure. The estimates normally contain cost of material and working hours:
Code | Name | Hours | Materials |
---|---|---|---|
73 | Compressed air systems | ||
731 | Starting air systems | 200 | |
731.001 | Starting air compressor | $150,000 | |
731.003 | Starting air emergency compressor | $98,000 | |
731.005 | Starting air water/oil separator | $17,000 | |
731.010 | Starting air tanks | $33,000 | |
731.012 | Starting air bottles | $9,500 | |
731.014 | Starting air coolers | $12,000 | |
731.016 | Starting air compressor silencers | $5,000 |
Drawings and Document Handling[edit]
Drawings can easily be numbered according to SFI, and complex drawings in CAD systems may be split into layers to show individual installations according to the SFI Group System.
Drawing identification may incorporate a SFI Group System number. A standard drawing number may be composed as follows:
179-731-001Ship no. – SFI tertiary group no. – Consecutive no.
Drawings should be numbered according to the group level if possible. The Primary and Secondary Group levels are usually used for system and arrangement drawings:
- 179-100-000: General arrangement
- 179-200-001: Profile and deck plan
- 179-350-000: Loading and discharging system
- 179-446-001: Engine stores arrangement
Item lists on arrangement drawings may also be coded according to the SFI Group System.
Purchasing[edit]
A purchase is normally charged to a finance account (cost type) and to a SFI Group System number, often called a technical account (cost center).
When purchasing components, a yard may specify the individual item by the SFI Detail Code (6 digits). When a shipping company orders spare parts, these may be identified by the SFI Detail Code + consecutive numbers (total of 9-10 digits).
Material Administration[edit]
When components are purchased directly to order/ship, the SFI Detail Code may be used as a technical account.
The spare part manufacturer may have its own numbering system. For a shipping company it is often convenient to establish a spare part numbering system comprising the SFI Detail Code + consecutive numbers:
- 731.001 - Starting air compressor
- 731.001.001 - HP cylinder
- 731.001.002 - LP cylinder
- 731.001.003 - HP cylinder cover
- 731.001.004 - LP cylinder cover
Maintenance[edit]
An operation and maintenance system will often contain a register covering all maintenance units on board. These units are normally identical to the components in the Detail Code:
731.001.01 - Starting air compressor no. 1Maker:Type:Serial no.:Capacity:
Procedures for preventive maintenance and class survey of a maintenance unit will be entered with job identification:
731.001.01 - Starting air compressor no. 1Job A - 3000 hours routineJob B - Class survey
![Codes Codes](https://minutiacarpentry.com/img/954281.jpg)
All records of preventive and corrective maintenance should be filed and related to the maintenance unit. The technical accounts of planned maintenance systems such as AMOS Maintenance and Procurement are commonly based on the SFI Group System.
Repair[edit]
Repair specifications are often based on information from the maintenance system. The repair bill should follow the repair specification structure. It is customary for the yard to quote prices to the shipping company at subgroup level.
Operation Budget[edit]
The SFI Group System is used for budgeting of maintenance and repair work, and for spare part consumption. In order to make a complete operation budget in a shipping company, it is necessary to link the Group System to a plan of finance accounts. Any suitable plan of finance accounts may be used together with SFI.
The plan of finance accounts usually covers spare parts and consumable items. Budgeting of spare parts may be performed in great detail using the SFI Group System.
Cost Control[edit]
Cost control of new building or repair work is normally carried out at the tertiary Group and Detail Code levels. Direct purchases are charged to the SFI Detail Code:
Materials:
Code | Name | Planned | Actual | Difference |
---|---|---|---|---|
731.001 | Starting air compressor | 150,000 | 158,000 | +8,000 |
Reporting of working hours is normally carried out at the tertiary group level. Activities and jobs must be established to follow up work progress.
Materials:
Code | Name | Planned | Actual | Difference |
---|---|---|---|---|
731 | Starting air systems | 200 | 210 | +10 |
Quality Assurance[edit]
In relation to ISO 9000 and IMO requirements for safe operation, it is necessary to establish procedures that ensure that specification requirements and rules and regulations from authorities and classification societies are met, and that the ship/rig is operated safely.
The following procedures and instructions should be classified according to SFI:
- Surveyor’s manual
- Installation description
Filing[edit]
The SFI Group System is often used as a standard filing system for the shipping and offshore industry. SFI gives this industry a well structured and organized filing system for drawings, manuals, reports, and publications.
- Testing and commissioning procedures
- Operating, start and stop manuals
- Maintenance instructions
- Faultfinding
- Spare parts
- Tools
- List of drawings
- Certificates
- Agents
Numbers Groups And Codes Solution Manual 2017
The Coding Structure of SFI[edit]
SFI Group System (3-digit)[edit]
Numbers Groups And Codes Solution Manual 1
Primary Group 7
The SFI Group System is built up as a 3-digit decimal classification system. The ship/rig is divided into 10 Primary Groups from 0 to 9. Only Primary Groups 1 to 8 are in use. The users may use Primary Groups 0 and 9 for classifying other main components that are not covered by the SFI standard.
Each of the Primary Groups (1st digit) consists of 10 Groups (2nd digit) and each Group is divided further into 10 subgroups (3rd digit).The Primary Groups (1st digit) of SFI for Ships is described below.
Primary Group 1 - General[edit]
Details and costs that cannot be charged to any specific function on board, e.g. general arrangement, quality assurance, launching, dry-docking and guarantee work.
Primary Group 2 - Hull Systems[edit]
Hull, superstructure and material protection of the vessel.
Primary Group 3 - Cargo Equipment[edit]
Cargo equipment and machinery including systems for vessel’s cargo, loading/discharging systems, cargo winches and hatches.
Primary Group 4 - Ship Equipment[edit]
Ship specific equipment- and machinery. Navigational equipment, manoeuvring machinery, anchoring equipment, and communication equipment. This group also includes special equipment such as equipment for fishing. 123movies wolf of wall street.
Primary Group 5 - Crew and Passenger Equipment[edit]
Equipment, machinery, systems etc. serving crew and passengers, for example lifesaving equipment, furniture, catering equipment and sanitary systems.
Primary Group 6 - Machinery Main Components[edit]
Primary components in the engine room, for example main and auxiliary engines, propellers, plant, boilers, and generators.
Primary Group 7 - Systems for Machinery Main Components[edit]
Systems serving main machinery components, for example fuel and lubrication oil systems, starting air system, exhaust systems and automation systems.
Primary Group 8 - Common Systems[edit]
Central ship systems, for example ballast and bilge systems, fire fighting and wash down systems, electrical distribution systems etc.
SFI Detail and Material Codes (6 digit)[edit]
The detail and material codes cover components and materials that may be related to the individual subgroups. In order to reach the component level, it might be necessary to break the subgroups further down by using a detail code. This code has not yet been possible to standardize due to the variety of equipment and numbers onboard different types of ships, and due to slightly different requirements to the code for shipyards and shipping companies.
Usually there are two different classes of components and material that are used; one class comprises components and material that are ordered directly to a ship, the other comprises components and material that are ordered to stock. Consequently, the codes are divided into two parts:
Detail Code: Components that are purchased directly to order/ship. The detail code is used to define the individual component and equipment that acts in the sub system function. In the Detail Code the supplementary codes are built up from 001-099.
Material Code: This code relates to material that is purchased to stock.The relations between these codes are as follows:
- SFI Group System + Detail Code: 731.000 – 731.099
- SFI Group System + Material Code: 731.100 – 731.999
User Rights for the SFI Group System[edit]
SFI User License[edit]
An SFI User License Certificate must be purchased from SpecTec to use the SFI Group System. One license fee will be charged for each SFI installation. This means that one license is required for each ship/site/rig that uses the coding structure of SFI. There are additional charges for each book, file or database.
Formats of the SFI Group System[edit]
SFI Manuals[edit]
The SFI manuals are available in the following formats:
- A4
- A5
- A6
- Letter
The A4, A5, and Letter manuals contain the following parts:
- SFI Code Matrix
- Summary lists of primary, secondary, and tertiary groups
- Detailed descriptions of secondary and tertiary groups

Conclusion[edit]
A classification system such as the SFI Group System will make a substantial contribution to standardized and well-ordered information related to ships/rigs, and will lead to improved communication both within a company and with external parties.
The SFI Group System will make shipping and offshore operations more efficient because companies will save resources and avoid pitfalls when implementing the SFI standards. SFI can be the common denominator tying together all functions of shipping and offshore operations such as maintenance, purchasing, accounting, filing etc.
