Example: Copying Including Component Assignments
Your worklist contains the objects in graphic 1.
Graphic 1: Objects in Worklist
Your copy range contains the objects in graphic 2. (To access the copy range, choose .)
If you include the object type Operation in the copy range, the system automatically includes the superior object types Routing header and Sequence. If you now include the object type Component assignment in the copy range, the system automatically includes object type Material-routing assignment.
Graphic 2: Copy Range
Case 1
You want to make a multi-level copy of routing A and include its Sequence and Operation. Bill of material B, which is assigned to material M, just as routing A is, should however, not be copied.
Select header A in the EWB screen: Headers overview, click and in the dialog box EWB: Copy – Target data, enter the identifying data (in other words, task list type, task list group and group counter) for routing A, which you want to create, but no material. You then set the Multi-level copy indicator and choose Copy. You can see the result in graphic 3.
Graphic 3: Result case 1
Result: The system creates task list header A‘, sequence A0‘ and operation A10‘ as a copy of task list header A, sequence A0 and operation A10.
Note that the system does not create either a material-routing assignment or a component assignment, even though both object types are contained in the copy range. The reason for this is that no material is entered in the dialog box EWB: Copy – Target data.
Case 2
Aim:
as in case 1. However, you also want to create a material-routing assignment and a component assignment.You proceed exactly as you did for case 1, however, in the dialog box EWB: Copy – Target data also enter the material M. Then set the indicator Multi-level copy and click Copy. You can see the result in graphic 4.
Graphic 4: Result case 2
Result: The system creates task list header A‘, sequence A0‘ and operation A10‘ as a copy of task list header A, sequence A0 and operation A10. It also creates a material-routing assignment between task list header A‘ and material M, and a component assignment between operation A10‘ and item B10.
Case 3
Aim:
In addition to routing A and its component assignment, you also want to make a multi-level copy of BOM B including the items assigned to it.For this, you enhance the copy range of graphic 2 to include the object types material-BOM assignment, BOM header and item (see graphic 5).
Graphic 5: Enhanced Copy Range
You now proceed exactly as you did for case 2, this means that this time you also enter the material M in the dialog box EWB: Copy – Target data. Then set the indicator Multi-level copy and click Copy. You can see the result in graphic 6.
Graphic 6: Result case 3
Result: The system creates task list header A‘, sequence A0‘ and operation A10‘ as a copy of task list header A, sequence A0 and operation A10. It also creates a material-routing assignment between task list header A‘ and material M. Then the system recreates the BOM alternative B‘ as a copy of B (so also the subordinate item B10‘). Finally, it creates the component assignment between operation A10‘ and item B10‘ as a copy of the component assignment between operation A10 and item B10.
Case 4
Aim:
as in case 3. However you want to create a new material BOM for material N, to which the copied routing A‘ is also to be assigned.You proceed exactly as you did for case 3, however, in the dialog box EWB: Copy – Target data enter material N. Then set the indicator Multi-level copy and click . You can see the result in graphic 7.
Graphic 7: Result case 4
Result: The system creates task list header A‘, sequence A0‘ and operation A10‘ as a copy of task list header A, sequence A0 and operation A10. It also creates a material-routing assignment between task list header A‘ and material N and the new material BOM B‘. Finally, the system creates the component assignment between operation A10‘ and item B10‘ as a copy of the component assignment between operation A10 and item B10.
