Exclude from lists: Tells the program to exclude the accessory from any printout (supplier order, material list, etc.). A button next to the box opens the accessories replacement table. The purpose of this table is to create a generic article in the archives, then have in the substitution table a list of accessories, also saved in the archives, that will be loaded into the type based on various criteria:

We select the accessory based on system and series'
With this criterion, it is necessary to load the system and series that determine the accessory’s insertion into the appropriate boxes. Therefore, the accessory will be inserted when the profiles of the type belong to the indicated system and series.

Choose hardware based on the hardware
This criterion activates a series of boxes related to the hardware pitch of the profiles. The pitch value will be entered in the box. For the function to be active, the pitch value must be set in the System/Series archive. The program then checks the value set in this box against the one in the System/Series archive and inserts the compatible hardware.
