Code list types
In Maximo Inventory
Optimization, codes lists play a crucial role in facilitating data
exchange and reporting. The following types of codes list exist:
- System codes list
- A system codes list is a predefined set of codes that are maintained by the MIO-IO system. These codes are used to standardize data values that are required by Maximo Inventory Optimization.
- Client codes list
- A client codes list is a customized set of codes that are created and maintained by each individual client. These codes are specific to the client's needs.
