Finding Dependent Objects (SAP Library - PLM Product Data Replication)

Finding Dependent Objects

Use

In FOX, each PLM object finds its dependent objects by means of object relationships. The following list shows the dependent object for each object type, with the corresponding object relationship (for example, follow-up material for a material.

Material

Object Relationship	Object Type
Follow-up material for a material	Material
Consumable material for a material	Material
Pricing reference material for a material	Material
Planning material for a material	Material
Inventory-managed material for a material	Material
Cross-plant configurable material for a material	Material
Plant-specific configurable material for a material	Material
Document info record for a material	Document
Bill of material for a material	Bill of material
Configuration profile for a material	Configuration profile

Bill of material

Object Relationship	Object Type
BOM item of bill of material	BOM item

Note

If the BOM items are not implemented as independent objects in FOX, the above relationship does not apply.

BOM item

Object Relationship	Object Type
Material as BOM item	Material
Class as BOM item	Class
Document info record as BOM item	Document info record
Dependencies for a BOM item	Global dependencies
Dependencies for a BOM item	Local dependencies
Document info record for a BOM item	Document info record
Configuration profile for a material	Configuration profile

Note

If the BOM items are not implemented as independent objects in FOX, the above relationships are direct relationships to the BOM.
