Defining Selection Conditions in BOMs and Task Lists

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to define selection conditions in BOMs and task lists.

Dependencies in BOMs and Task Lists

Next, let's take a look at where the object dependencies can be used in BOMs and Routings.

Watch the following video for an overview.

A sales order that you create for a configurable material now serves as an example of a selection condition. The seat selection is to be implemented using a selection condition.

Take a look at the next video.

When you create a selection condition, you have the following options:

  • Create locally (for the BOM item)

  • Create globally (uses a separate menu path and is identified by a name)

Once a global selection condition has been created, it must be assigned to the appropriate objects. A selection condition is fulfilled if the value in the condition is set for the characteristic.

A selection condition is not fulfilled if:

  • A different value is set for the characteristic

  • No value is selected for the characteristic

Selection Condition in BOMs: Classic and Advanced

PMEVC: Selection Conditions in BOMs

The following figure shows you the possibilities of selection condition definition inside PMEVC.

Watch the following video, which gives you an overview about this topic.

Selection Condition for a Task List

A sales order that you create for a configurable material now serves as an example of a selection condition. The selection of Extras causes additional operations inside task list.

Take a look at the next video.

Selection Condition: Production Resource Tools in Task Lists

Additionally, Selection Conditions are also possible for Production Resource Tools.

Let's have a look at the following video.

Create and Assign Object Dependencies: Material BOM

Material BOM: Object Dependencies – Part 1

When we simulated the configuration, we saw that the super BOM was displayed in the configuration result. We now have to create and assign object dependencies so that we can select the correct components from the super BOM and create a BOM that can be used to manufacture the configured product.

The following simulation shows you first the check of an existing material BOM and then the creation of five selection conditions.

Material BOM: Object Dependencies – Part 2

In the second simulation, the creation of selection conditions for BOM items is displayed.

Create Object Dependencies: Routing

The configuration modeling is also relevant to the routing of the forklift. In order to select the required operations and PRTs, selection conditions, similar to those for the BOM, are needed. You now must either write new rules or use valid existing rules to select these objects.

The following simulation shows you first the creation of selection conditions for routing operations. Then you see the creation of a new characteristic. Additionally, selection conditions are also defined for PRTs. At the end, a test takes place.
