 Maintaining Basic Data Locate this document in the navigation structure

The data that is proposed on the screen Basic Data depends on your entry on the initial screen and you can change this data.

If you have entered a formula as a reference, the following data is proposed on the screen Basic data :

  • the short text for the formula

  • the Sort string

  • CAPP Planner

If you have entered a method as a reference, the following data from the method is proposed apart from the data mentioned above:

  • Value type : Key used to specify the standard value in the routing into which the method result is to be transferred. In Customizing, you specify the standard value a value type corresponds to. By assigning the same value type to several methods (in the application) you specify that several results should be transferred to the same standard value. In this case, the intermediate results of the individual methods are added together.

A standard value is a parameter that is identified by the parameter ID. In Customizing, only parameter IDs with the following origin can be assigned to a value type:

  • standard value

Note Note

You cannot calculate value types for standard values if it was specified in the work center that they must not or should not be entered.

End of the note.

  • General operation value if it relates to the break time, the maximum wait time, the minimum wait time or the normal queue time.

  • User field from the operation

Caution Caution

If you want to calculate one of the possible general operation values or a user field using a standard values calculation, you should first enter the desired unit on the operation detail screen.

End of the caution.

  • Unit of the value type: specify the unit in which the method result is to be calculated

The method result and the parameter ID must have the same dimension . If they have different units, then the result is displayed in the unit of the parameter ID.

  • Base quantity : Specify the quantity for which the value calculated with this method applies.

Note Note

If the base quantity of the operation deviates from that of the method, then the method result calculated is converted to the base quantity of the operation during a standard value calculation.

End of the note.

  • Unit of the base quantity : enter the unit of the base quantity to which the method refers.

You can change this data. However, you cannot change the basic formula.

Note Note

In superior CAPP elements (for a method that means in a process) you can only use the CAPP elements that have the status "creating" or "active".

End of the note.
