Object (Engineering Workbench)

Definition

Part of a routing or a BOM that you are processing in the Engineering Workbench. An object can also be an assignment of one of the above object to another

Examples are:

The header of the routing Assembly model 1
The operation Assemble bodywork
The PRT Sandpaper 09
The BOM header of the BOM Model 1
The item Engine hood

Examples of assignment objects are:

A material-routing assignment, for instance, the header Assembly model 1 to material Model 1
A component assignment, for instance the item Engine hood to the operation Assemble bodywork.

Structure

Validity

Each object has date effectivity and possibly parameter effectivity. The date validity of an object is from its valid-from date to its valid-to date.

Hierarchy

Objects can have hierarchical relationships. For instance, the header of a BOM is at a higher level than one of the items in this BOM. Which hierarchical relationships an object can have, depends on its object type.
