Enable creating Quality Characteristics from parts with product and manufacturing information

To allow quality engineers to create Quality Characteristics from parts with product and manufacturing information (PMI), by using the Import PMIs As Characteristics workflow, set the ACP_SUPPORT_PART_BASED_CHARACTERISTICS preference to True. This workflow imports the balloons with PMI from this part, and creates Quality Characteristics for each balloon. The Quality Characteristics are attached to the part, which allows you to maintain the link between the Quality Characteristics and their source parts.

This workflow imports the balloons and creates the Characteristic Groups and their Quality Characteristics in the Quality Master Data location. When you open the Quality Characteristic and select its Where Used tab, the source part is displayed in the Used in Structures section.
