# Equipment Products

Pick which Site Product List this equipment runs and set the default Ideal Cycle Time used when no per-product value is specified.

The **Products** tab on an Equipment ties the equipment to one of the Site’s [Product Lists](/management-portal/oee/sites/site-products.md) and configures a fallback **Ideal Cycle Time** used when the running product doesn’t have its own value. The product list itself (the rows of products and their per-product Ideal Cycle Times) is maintained at the Site — this tab only **selects** which list to use and what to fall back to.

## Fields

| Field                        | Required                          | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Product List**             | Yes (when Performance is enabled) | Drop-down listing every Product List defined on the parent Site (e.g. `Accessory Bags`, `Spare Parts`). Pick exactly one.                                                                         |
| **Default Ideal Cycle Time** | Yes (when Performance is enabled) | Numeric value + unit (Seconds / Minutes / Hours). Used as the speed reference whenever the currently running product has no per-product value, or the running product isn’t in the selected list. |
| **(unit dropdown)**          | Yes                               | Unit of measure for Default Ideal Cycle Time. Same set of units used by per-product Ideal Cycle Times on the [Site Products](/management-portal/oee/sites/site-products.md) tab.                  |

## How the running product is matched

The **Default Ideal Cycle Time** is the baseline; per-product values **override** it. At runtime the engine resolves the Ideal Cycle Time like this:

1. The equipment’s **Current Product Id** tag (see [Product & Order](/management-portal/oee/equipment/tag-mapping/product-and-order.md#product-id)) emits a value — a Material Number.
2. The engine checks the selected Product List for a product whose Material Number matches that value.
3. If a match is found **and** that product has a per-product **Product specific ICT** set (i.e. not "Default equipment ICT"), the **product’s** Ideal Cycle Time is used.
4. Otherwise — including when the Material Number doesn’t match any product in the list, or when the matching product is set to "Default equipment ICT" — the equipment’s **Default Ideal Cycle Time** is used.

There is no "skip Performance for unknown products" path — the Default is always usable. That’s why Performance can’t be enabled without a Default ICT set, and why the Default should be a deliberate choice (commonly the slowest product the equipment runs, or the typical cycle time across the line).

## The product preview grid

Below the configuration row is a **read-only** view of the products in the selected list — Name, Material Number, Description, and Ideal Cycle Time. Use it to verify you’ve selected the right list before saving.

To add, edit, delete or import products into a list, switch to the parent Site’s [Site Products](/management-portal/oee/sites/site-products.md) tab — those actions aren’t available here because the same list is shared by every equipment that selects it.

***

## Changing the assigned Product List

You can switch the Product List at any time. The change applies forward only — historical OEE results computed under the previous list are not recalculated.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Site does not allow deleting a Product List that is currently assigned to any equipment. To delete a list, switch each equipment to a different list first (or to "no list" by clearing the field, if Performance is disabled).
{% endhint %}

## Validation

| Condition                                                     | Behavior                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Performance pillar enabled and Product List unset             | Field flagged required; **Products** tab header shows invalid; Save blocked.                                                                          |
| Performance pillar enabled and Default Ideal Cycle Time unset | Field flagged required; same blocking behavior.                                                                                                       |
| Selected Product List is empty (no products yet)              | The assignment is allowed; every running product code falls back to the equipment’s Default Ideal Cycle Time until products are imported on the Site. |
