Cancel-Part Relationships

Use

You can define a progression for the exchange or swapping of structure node variants of the master parts list. For example, a part represented by an iPPE structure variant could replace an older part, that is, another structure node variant of the same structure node. The part to be replaced is also known as a cancel part.

Integration

You can use cancel-part relationships within the Configuration Control component.

You maintain the part sequence in the iPPE Workbench by using the classification system for iPPE structure node variants. You can assign a structure node variant to multiple classes.

Prerequisites

  • A master parts list with structure nodes and structure node variants exists for the desired technical object.

  • A class , a class type , and characteristics are maintained in Customizing. These settings are used as the basis for determining the cancel-part characteristic among other classification data.

Features

  • You can define a part progression. For more information, see Processing Cancel-Part Relationships .

  • After activating the BAdI implementation PPE_MENU_PARTPROG of the BAdI PPEGI_CTMENU you can display a graphic view of the part progression. You can find the corresponding implementation from the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Tools Next navigation step ABAP Workbench Next navigation step Utilities Next navigation step Business Add-Ins Next navigation step Implementation. End of the navigation path

  • In Customizing, you can activate the check of the cancel-part relationships for the installation of equipment in available structure gaps. The cancel-part check establishes whether a structure node variant is valid according to defined part progressions.
