    Artikel-Klassifizierung
    
        Die Klassifizierung von Artikeln dient einer weiteren Gliederung um zum Beispiel den Einkauf vom Verkauf zu trennen, etc.
    
        Gekennzeichnet durch eine Beschreibung (z.B. "Einkauf") und ein Kürzel (z.B. "E")
        Flexibel änderbar und erweiterbar.
    
        - Neue Datenbanktablle und Rose-Objekte, sowie Controller zum Bearbeiten der Tabelle
    
        - Zwei-Zeichen Abkürzung:
    
        Der Typ des Artikel und die Klassifizierung werden durch zwei Buchstaben dargestellt.
        Der erste Buchstabe  ist eine Lokalisierung des Typs des Artikel ('P','A','S') ,
        deutch 'W', 'E', und 'D' für Ware Erzeugnis oder Dienstleistung, ggf. weitere Typen.
        Der zweite Buchstabe ist eine Lokalisierung der Klassifizierungsabkürzung (abbreviation).
    
        Die Abkürzungen sind aus dem Part Presenter abholbar:
        -  SL::Presenter::Part->type_abbreviation($part_type)
        -  SL::Presenter::Part->classification_abbreviation($classification_id)
    
        Anpassung des CSV Import,
        nun wird alternativ zur 'part_type'-Spalte die 'pclass'-Spalte mit zwei Buchstaben geparsed und entsprechend
        classification_id, part_type gesetzt.

+SL::DB::PartClassification
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Additional to the article types "part", "assembly", "service" and "assortement"
+the parts classification specifies other ortogonal attributes
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The primary attributes are the rule
+of the article as "used_for_sales" or "used_for_purchase".
+
+Additional other attributes may follow
+
+To see this attributes in a short way there are shortcuts of one (or two characters, if needed for compare )
+which may be translated in the specified language
+
+The type of the article is also as shortcut available, so this combined type and classification shortcut
+is used short as "Type"
+
+English type shortcuts are 'P','A','S'
+German  type shortcuts are 'W','E','D'
+The can set in the language-files
+
+To get the localized abbreviations you can use L<SL::Presenter::Part> .
