This example shows how the system completes the structure of a Baseline when you have entered a material as a controlled object in the configuration folder.

You have created a configuration definition for a new turbine T-30000. At a particular time in the design phase, you decide to fix the current processing status in a Baseline.

In Customizing of the Configuration Management you determined that in the design phase (as designed) BOM usage 2 (engineering/design) is planned.

In plant 1000 you have created a BOM for turbine T-30000 with BOM usage 2 (engineering/design). At this point in time, this BOM has three items:

• Material P-100
• Material M-3
• Document DOC-03

You have written a specification for turbine T-30000 that is managed via the document info record SPEC-01. Via a document management system object link, you have assigned this document to the material master record T-30000.

In the design phase (as designed) you created the configuration folder T-30000_d01. In this configuration folder you have simply entered the material T-30000 as a controlled object. The structure of the configuration folder contains no other objects.

When you create the Baseline, the system automatically completes the structure:

The document SPEC-01 is linked to the material T-30000 via a document management system object link and is directly subordinated to it.

This is the material BOM to material T-30000 in plant 1000 with usage 2 (engineering/design).

If a material is flagged as a controlled object or as relevant for Configuration Management the system looks for a material BOM and moves this into the structure of the Baseline. In this way, the system selects the BOM with the usage that is planned in Customizing.

Here, all change numbers with which the material BOM has been processed and that have been released prior to the Baseline key date are fixed.

The system includes all items for the BOM in the structure of the Baseline.

These materials are in the items of the BOM and are therefore included in the structure of the Baseline.

This document is in item 30 of the BOM from T-30000 and is therefore included in the structure of the Baseline.
