Product codes for equipment are stored in the CAT_EQP_PCode_EN.xml file. A placed piece of equipment will get a product code assigned if it matches properties such as the manufacturer and dimensions associated with the product code in the CAT_EQP_PCode_EN.xml file.

This step is only required if the desired manufacturer is not available in Equipment Manager for the type of equipment for which the PCODE is to be added.
