In register Object relations Configtypes / Documents and Object relations BOM / routing the objects dependencies are defined, which are handled by ProConfiguration.
This may be an object status control in relation to a status change of another object. Or if an object status change triggers a status change of another object.
...
| Info |

See Configuration Types / Configuration Relations for the assignment of the object relations to the configuration types. Configuration types of the same family can also have relations, depending on their status definitions. See also Status Network . Using the information icon |

ℹ in the list of object dependencies, you can call a dialog box in which the types of object dependencies used, the records entered in them, and the individual field values are displayed |

- Defines relations between different document types.
- Checks and actions between documents of different organizational units are not possible. But it is possible to create a relation between two documents, if one is linked to another organization unit and the other one not (x-plant).
...
- Defines relations between x-plant and plant specific material status.
...
- Definition of relations between x-plant and distribution chain specific material status.
...
- Definition of relations between x-plant and x-dchain material status.
Checks on the cross distribution chain material status are only executed, if a distribution chain view for the material master record exists.
Actions on cross distribution chain material status are only executed, if a distribution chain view for the material master record exists OR the action is executed directly (option Set directly, no follow-up actions possible activated).
...
- Geben Sie hier den Text ein.Definition of relation between plant dependent and distribution chain specific material status.
...
- Defines relations between plant specific material status and documents
...
- Defines relations between distribution chain specific material status and documents.
...
- Allows starting a change on a data package based on a status change of the x-plant material status.
Object relations BOM / Routing
...
- Definition of allowed configuration types within a BOM. Document and text positions are not affected by these checks. Furthermore the inheritance of documents will be activated.
...
- Defines checks on BOM components when reaching defined material statuses.
BOM positions with option "recursiveness allowed" will NOT be checked. This because otherwise a defined status change could be prevented by each other material.
...
- Defines whether the BOM items of a data package shall be checked for a certain status, after the data package has reached a certain status. (x-plant or plant dependent material state).
...
- Defines relations between configuration types and BOM's.
...
- Defines relations between document types and BOM's.
...
- Defines different actions and checks on BOMs. Depending on the BOM, the checks or actions will be for the material master record (material BOM) or the document info record (document structure).
- Object Type / Status (BOM)
- Whether a BOM can be maintained or not generally depends on the settings „BOM maintenance" according Actions/Checks BOM. In case the maintenance is restricted, it will still be possible, as long as the data package is in a change status.
- The settings will allow to define whether the maintenance shall only be possible for a specific status of a data object within the data package. For more then one set of settings, at least one requirement must be fulfilled to allow the BOM maintenance (OR relation).
- Note for document status:
Any status entered here, allows editing of the BOM, ignoring the status type or if marked "Discontinued".
...
- Using this setting it is possible to define which assignments for a routing can made. This can be none (e.g. for a reference operation set) or only 1:1 or 1:n relations.
Rules for selecting the customizing records
If due to multiple material assignments more than one object relation is selected, then for the checks of the assignments the "strongest" setting is used. This is valid for "Mat. assignment" and "Plant assignm."
...
- Defines relations between configuration types and routings.
...
- Defines relations between document types and BOM's.
...
- Defines actions and checks for routings and inspection plans.
Rules for selecting the customizing records
...
- If for the routings multiple object relations are used, then the object relation definitions which can be used on the same routing types must use the same settings on the fields mentioned above. Otherwise the behaviour is undefined, because the definitions to be used is not predictable.
...
| Usage of routing, for which theses settings are valid (* allowed, empty = all). |
| The "Usage" in a routing can be changed by the user. To keep the data consistent, ProConfiguration implements some actions and rules to ensure this. See following description. |
...
- If the routing is created without any material master record assignment, no checks are made. In this case any later material master record assignment is checked (see below).
- If on the start screen a profile was specified and in this profile the usage is defined, this value is used. The material master assignment will be checked as described below.
- If according to the ProConfiguration customizing for the entered material master record only one usage is valid, this usage is used.
- Otherwise the usage is asked from the user. The user can select from a list, build from all usages defined in the object relation customizing for the corresponding configuration type of the material master record.
...
- The new usage must be valid for all assigned material master records.
- "Assigned material master records" means:
- When creating a routing, all assigned material master records.
- When changing all but the removed and newly added material master records. Newly added material master records are checked separately, see below.
- When creating a routing, all assigned material master records.
- The new usage is valid, when a definition for this usage exists for each object relation definition of the corresponding configuration types for the assigned material master records.
...
...
If the user changes the usage, depending on the customizing different object relation settings may be used. Defining different such object relation settings which allow to change the usage must be "compatible". This means they should have the same settings for checking the change number, material assignment and references.
