Assigning Object Dependencies
You can assign object dependencies to the following objects:
Configuration profile |
|
Characteristics |
|
Characteristic values |
|
BOM items |
|
Operations in task lists |
|
Production resources/tools (PRTs) |
|
Procedures
If you want to use procedures to influence the characteristic values on the value assignment screen, you assign them to the configuration profile, characteristic, or characteristic value.
The result is the same, whether procedures are assigned to the configuration profile, the characteristic, or the characteristic value. However, it is easier to administer procedures if you assign them all to the configuration profile.
If you want to use procedures to change fields in BOM items, operations in task lists, or PRTs, you assign them to the relevant items, operations, and PRTs.
Procedures work locally (object &SELF) for:
You cannot use procedures to infer values for the characteristics of other configurable materials. To do this, you use dependency nets.
Preconditions and Selection Conditions
You assign preconditions and selection conditions to the characteristic or characteristic value to which the condition applies.
You assign selection conditions to the BOM items, operations, and PRTs to which the condition applies.
