Define Change
Profile
In this step you define change profiles that
are used to control order change management for production orders (OCM).
Change profiles are assigned to the individual change processes when defining
overall change profiles.
The parameters of the change profile are
subdivided as follows:
You can specify
that:
- changes are also automatically copied to the
order if a warning has occurred during the check. In this case the changed
objects in the order are marked.
- objects added manually are not deleted by
automatic change steps
- individual change steps can be carried out
even if there are change steps that cannot be carried out automatically
because of a conflict. This setting is only effective for networks and
assembly orders.
- Handling conflict
situations
You can specify
whether particular actions in change management represent a conflict depending
on the processing state of the order or the objects involved. The objects,
actions and conflicts involved are:
- Objects
Operations, suboperations, components, directly-produced components,
production resources/tools
- Actions
Change, delete, create, reassign
- Level of conflict
No conflict, information, warning, error
For each object and
action there are various situations for which you can specify which level of
conflict should apply. The following are examples of possible
settings:
- change a released operation:
Information
- delete a released operation:
warning
- delete a partially-released operation:
Error
For directly
produced components, you can specify whether multi-level changes in the
collective order are allowed.
Activities
1. Define
change profiles to control change management for production
orders.
2. Assign these
change profiles to the individual change processes when defining the overall
change profiles: sales order change, master data change, assembly order
change.
