Example documentationSystem Behavior on Import of Substitution Assignments

 

Posting of substitution assignments and lock logic with location products

The example in the following table illustrates the system behavior on import of substitution assignments with and without specification of the location product:

.

Location Products in the System Prior to the Import

[L = Location; O = Original product; F = Follow-up product]

L1 | O1

L2 | O1

L3 | O1

L1 | F1

L2 | F2

On import of the location-specific substitution assignment L1: U1 —› F1 with switchover to the follow-up product F1 and on import of the global substitution assignment L*: U1 —› F2 with switchover to the follow-up product F2, the system behaves as follows with regard to the location product:

.

Import of Substitution Assignments in Specified Sequence

System Behavior

L1: O1 —> F1

  • Following successful checks, the system posts the assignment

    • it unlocks the location product L1 | O1

    • it sets the lock for the location product L1 | F1

L*:O1 —> F2

  • Following successful checks, the system posts the global assignment.

  • The system determines all location products L*| O1, that is, L1 | O1, L2 | O1 and L3 | O1

  • The system matches the location products with the imported assignments and runs the lock behavior:

    • L1 | O1: because of the assignment already imported L1: O1 —> F1 the import of assignment L*: O1 —> F2 has no effect

    • L2 | O1: the system locks the location product L2 | F2 and unlocks L2 | O1

    • L3 | O1: as there is no location product L3 | F2, the import of assignment L*: O1 —> F2 has no effect
