Object relations BOM / Routing

Allowed Configuration Types in BOM / Inheritance

Defines which configuration types are allowed in BOMs for materials that have this object dependency assigned. Document and text items are not affected by these checks. In addition, the inheritance of documents is also activated here.

Configuration Types BOM Items

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.

Data Packages BOM items

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).

Configuration type BOM

Defines relations between configuration types and BOM's.

Document BOM

Defines relations between document types and BOM's.

Actions/Checks BOM

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).

When a BOM is created, the status of the BOM is always empty at the time of the check. Thus, for a check during creation, a record with BOM status = empty must be entered in this view.

Object Type / Status (BOM)

Whether a BOM can generally be maintained is controlled via the setting "Stl.maintenance" in Actions/Checks BOMs. If editing is only possible to a limited extent, this is generally possible in connection with data packages whenever the data package is in a change status.
If this is to be done only for specific statuses or depending on another document object in the data package, this can be done in this Object type / Status setting. If several records are entered for a data package, one of these records must fulfill the defined condition to allow BOM processing (OR link).
This setting is ignored if no data package is entered in the parent setting.
Notes on the document status:
- A document status which must be set on the document object to allow BOM modification. The status must be entered uniquely, * not allowed.
- If the field Document status is empty, it is checked if the document is in change according to the object type.
- If a status is entered here, it always allows editing, regardless of the type and whether the "Discontinued status" option is set.

Control of routing assignments

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."

Configuration type Routing

Defines relations between configuration types and routings.

Document Routing

Defines relations between document types and BOM's.

Actions/Checks Routings

Defines actions and checks for routings and inspection plans.

Object type / Status (Routing)

Whether a routing can be maintained in general depends on the setting under "Check changes reference object" as described in Actions/Checks Routings. In case the handling is restricted, it will still be possible in combination with data packages, as long as the data package is being changed.
If the maintenance shall only be possible for a specific status or dependent on another data object, it can be defined in this setting „Object type / status (routing). If more than one set is defined, at least one set must meet the defined conditions, so the BOM handling will be possible. (OR linkage).
