 As-Built Configuration

Definition

A special form of installed base. An as-built configuration (ASBC) describes the structure of a serialized assembly that has been produced and the condition or history of its individual components.

Use

You can use an as-built configuration to look at the condition and history of a produced assembly at any time. You can record changes to an as-built configuration in the form of an as-maintained configuration.

You can use an as-built configuration for complex products for which you need to be able to tell at all times which assemblies and components have been used in production (for example, an airplane).

Integration

An as-built configuration is an Installed Base that you can create using existing production data (process and production orders).
