Filling your Worklist with Focus Objects (Parameter Effectivity)

Purpose

After you have defined the selection criteria and selection range for your worklist and clicked This graphic is explained in the accompanying text , the system fills your worklist in two stages. This process describes the first of the two stages (the second stage is described here).

Note

The system only uses this process, if your organization uses the Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) component and uses change master records with parameter effectivity, to process bills of material and routings for example.

Process Flow

The system determines which objects fulfill your selection criteria, in other words, which objects are focus objects

The system does this as described in Focus Object Selection, although the following applies if an object has more than one change status: The object fulfills the selection criteria if at least one of its change statuses fulfills the selection criteria.

The system copies certain change statuses for focus objects to your worklist.

Which change statuses with parameter effectivity this includes depends on whether you entered a parameter variant in the selection range or not (see table).

Which objects are copied?

Selection parameter variant	Change status has	Change status is copied if
No	Date validity	It is valid on at least one day within the selection period
No	Parameter effectivity	(always)
Yes	Date validity	It is valid on at least one day within the selection period
Yes	Parameter effectivity	It fulfills the selection parameter variant

Note

It is not obligatory for a copied change status to fulfill the selection criteria (see the example following).

Result

The system fills your worklist with change statuses for the focus objects.

To fill your worklist with change statuses for the environment objects, the system then executes the Filling your Worklist with Environment Objects (Parameter Effectivity) process.

Example

Header A has three change statuses (see table):

Header A Change Statuses

Change status	Status	Effective for serial numbers
CH1	Created	10 to 19
CH2	Created	20 to 29
CH3	Released (general)	30 to 39

Your working area has header as its focus. You enter the selection criterion "all released headers". You enter a selection parameter variant and assign the value 25 to the SERNR (serial number) effectivity parameter.

Header A is the focus object, since change status CH3 fulfills the selection criterion. If you had not entered a selection parameter variant, all three statuses would have been copied to your worklist. However, due to the selection parameter variant, only change status CH2 is copied.
