Lesson 10 (0:40). Enumerations

Up to this point we have ignored the fact that we have no sure way of determining whether a specific item in the MaterialsAndServices catalog is a material or a service. The fact that you have arranged all catalog items into certain groups is not a reliable basis for such a decision since groups can be deleted or renamed, items can be grouped by another principle, and so on.  

Therefore, we need some kind of a marker that will clearly define whether a catalog item belongs to materials or to services, irrespective of changes to the catalog hierarchical structure. 

In this lesson you will create an attribute for the MaterialsAndServices catalog using the data type described by a configuration object that you have not encountered yet, an Enumeration. As you move forward, this will let you easily classify catalog items of the MaterialsAndServices catalog as services or materials.

Additionally, you will update the posting procedure of the Services document and learn how to work with enumerations using 1C:Enterprise script tools.
