Define Copy Default Values for Item Status

If you want to use the BOMs of other user departments as a reference when creating maintenance BOMs, you can specify in this menu option that the item status of the copied item is to take on certain features for maintenance BOMs.

Example

You want to use production BOMs as a reference for plant maintenance. The item statuses 'production' and 'construction' are allowed in the production BOM. You only want the item status 'PM' allowed when the maintenance BOM is maintained.

Define for the corresponding BOM usage (reference) and the BOM that is to be created (e.g. usage '4' for plant maintenance) the item statuses that are to be assigned to the individual items when a BOM is created with a reference.

The following rules apply:

• If a BOM usage has default copy values, they will be followed whenever items are copied.

• If a BOM usage has no default copy values, all the indicators that are allowed in the new BOM will be copied when an item is copied.

Note

If you only use the item status 'PM' for maintenance BOMs, you do not need to maintain default copy values, as the system copies all the item statuses that can be copied on the basis of the BOM usage, which in this case is simply only the item status 'PM'.

Actions

Configure the necessary default copy values.
