Clone
A clone operation is always carried out from a reference plant to a target plant. The target plant can be identical or different when activated.
Additional view
If a reference plant is set, only target plants according to this setting and target plant = source plant is allowed. Else all defined plants in the system can be used. In order to copy a group or plant BOM, input reference plant = empty is required for the target plant.

Parameter

Parameter Description
...
Reference Plant
...
Reference plant
...
Plant
...
Target plant, for which the reference plant is possible.
...
Plant views
...
Defines which of the existing views in the reference plant shall be created for the new plant. Without input, all existing plant views will be copied.
Please enter the view Ids in arrow. A search help is available.
In case under option Plant Specific Fields a dispo profile is defined, a dispo view (D) is always created.
Please see also ProMassOperations, User Manual for possible errors.

Without reference plant (=group BOM) and the plant is an actual plant, the following restrictions are valid:
|
BOM Usage/Status
The data is evaluated according to setting "BOM explosion by application" (See also Definition Mass Operations).
"BOM explosion by application" Not Set
Definition which applications can be cloned to which alternative applications.
If at least one entry has been set for the reference plant, only settings according this setting is possible. Also valid for initial screen, then only BOM usages are allowed which are defined under "FROM"
Without entry to a reference plant, all usages are possible as reference, the target will then always be the same usage.
"BOM explosion by application" Is Set
If the BOM is exploded by the usage, the usage will not be supported when creating the BOM. Within the structure the BOM will be created according to the usage.
This setting is then only used to the BOM status. Only sets with identical From/To-value or empty FROM value will be regarded.
Both Options
In field BOM status, the status of the new BOM can be defined and the general setting according Clone Control Groups will be overwritten for this plant and this usage.
Routings To Copy
Defines which routings have to be copied. Without entry, all will be ignored. Without target plant (group BOM) the entry will be ignored, too.

Plant Specific Fields
When copying from one plant to another, certain fields in the new plant view (or routing) must have a different value, because the fields have plant specific contents.
These settings allows the definition of this relation and the storage views which shall be copied.

Parameter

Parameter Description
...
Field
...
See table below
...
FROM
...
Value „FROM", always in relation to the reference plant. * allowed
...
TO
...
Value "TO" in relation to target plant
If a empty value is to be set explicitly, the initialization character "!" must be entered.
...
Values in Field
...
Function
...
Storage place
...
Only valid for clone, not view expansion
Defines which storage views shall be copied to the storage views of the target plant. Without entry, no storage views will be copied.
Remark: If several source storage places will be transferred to the same target storage place, only the first set will be use, therefore only one storage view will be created. This reduction is processed after the customer exit, before creating the material master. This always a customer specific reduction.
...
BOM usage
...
Defines which from which usages to which alternative usages the BOM can be cloned.
If at least one entry is made, only values for These settings are possible. Also valid for initial screen, then only BOM usages according to this entry will be allowed.
Without definition of a reference plant, all usages as reference are possible, then the target usage will be identical.
...
Dispo profile
For a dispo profile all missing and mandatory fields of the corresponding dispo profile will be used and always a dispo view will be created (D). The values will be determined as follows:
...
Copy of source view with all field values.
...
Transfer of all plant specific fields (see also below "All other value"s).
...
All other values
