  • Claim: 1. A method for creating product compatibility rules for an enterprise resource planning system, the method comprising: obtaining, by a processor, product compatibility rules defined for a plurality of products in a first standard format, wherein the product compatibility rules define, for each product, a plurality of parameters and one or more configurations associated with each of the plurality of parameters which are at least one of compatible and non-compatible with the corresponding product; generating, by the processor, a plurality of unique combinations of configurations for each product by combining one configuration from each parameter of the plurality of parameters; identifying, by the processor, one or more products of the plurality of products for each unique combination of configurations; and creating, by the processor, product compatibility rules for the enterprise resource planning system by defining a relationship between the one or more products and each unique combination of configurations in a second standard format.
  • Claim: 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the product includes a machine component, and the parameters include one or more of features, components, or parts associated with the machine component.
  • Claim: 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein identifying one or more products of the plurality of products for each unique combination of configurations includes identifying the plurality of unique combinations as a pivot identifier field and determining field values associated with the plurality of products for each unique combination.
  • Claim: 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second standard format includes variant configuration associated with the enterprise resource planning system.
  • Claim: 5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the variant configuration associated with the enterprise resource planning system is defined using one or more of AND, OR, and NOT relationship.
  • Claim: 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein creating the product compatibility rules includes grouping, by the processor, the one or more products based on the unique combination of configurations.
  • Claim: 7. A system for creating product compatibility rules for an enterprise resource planning system, the system comprising: a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor, and wherein upon execution of the stored instructions the processor is configured to: obtain product compatibility rules defined for a plurality of products in a first standard format, wherein the product compatibility rules define, for each product, a plurality of parameters and one or more configurations associated with each of the plurality of parameters which are at least one of compatible and non-compatible with the corresponding product; generate a plurality of unique combinations of configurations for each product by combining one configuration from each parameter of the plurality of parameters; identify one or more products of the plurality of products for each unique combination of configurations; and create product compatibility rules for the enterprise resource planning system by defining a relationship between the one or more products and each unique combination of configurations in a second standard format.
  • Claim: 8. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the product includes a machine component, and the parameters include one or more of features, components, or parts associated with the machine component.
  • Claim: 9. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the processor is configured to identify one or more products of the plurality of products for each unique combination of configurations by identifying the plurality of unique combinations as a pivot identifier field and determining field values associated with the plurality of products for each unique combination.
  • Claim: 10. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the second standard format includes variant configuration associated with the enterprise resource planning system.
  • Current International Class: 06
