Setup > Manufacturing > Attribute 

Use this function to define custom attributes and attribute values that can be added to products, and product-site records. Custom attributes are identifiable characteristics that are common to multiple products, or resources used in your manufacturing processes. For example, paint color, or can size (440 g, 800 g, 1200 g).

Attributes are only used with your web scheduling solution. They are not used with work orders or Production Scheduler.
