Once the process of defining and cataloging items is complete, you can:

·         Provide standard language in referring to items, enabling companies in the same industry to communicate effectively without needing to name their items identically.

·         Store a detailed description of what an item is without having to embed that meaning in the item number.

·         Update the item description with a concatenated value of the item catalog group information.
