Every stated value is what the customer wrote
1.8.2AEI now files a value as stated only when the customer wrote it, and asks which one they meant when a request names a family but not the grade.

- When a request says "bimetal" and your catalogue sells bimetal M42 and bimetal M51, AEI asks which one rather than choosing a grade for the customer.
- The workpiece group recommended for a cutting tool follows the material and the hardness the request states. A hardened steel group is only recommended when the request says hardened or states the hardness.
- A line with no price in the request no longer shows an empty price field.
- What each request uses from your plan is unchanged.
