Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method executing on a microprocessor, comprising: generating, using the microprocessor, a reference between a restriction name attribute in a material object and a restriction key in a restriction object, and between a first selection condition attribute in the material object and a second selection condition attribute in the restriction object, the material object and the restriction object residing in computer memory; receiving a restriction note through a graphical user interface (GUI) from a supplier having a material restriction for a material in the material object; searching, the microprocessor, a material position in the material object within the computer memory using a material identifier of the material; determining, using the microprocessor, a selection condition based on which the material is chosen from the material position, wherein the material from the material position is selected for a production of a product when the selection condition for the material position is true; and generating, using the microprocessor, a restriction condition in the restriction object within the computer memory based on the material restriction and the selection condition.
