AFW Validities

The explosion and display of a structure is always based on a validity range (BOM, document structure etc.). The validity is required for explosions, where-used lists etc. (example widget "Object Relations").

The defined validity range will be saved in the user data of ProFramework and will be set accordingly on restart. The currently used validity is indicated in text format as push button in the function bar. The push button also serves to change the validity (pop-up menu).

Date Range

Date range can be set. Structures and usages are evaluated for this date range. If this option is selected, it remains valid until the next setting. Object changes have no influence on the selected validity.

Current Date (Key Date)

The validity range is identical to the current date. Valid from date and Valid to date are identical (key date).

Todays Object Validity / Highest Object Validity

The specific validity is determined for the relevant object. In case several validities are possible (e.g. different document versions or material revisions), the today valid, respectively the highest validity will be selected. For objects without validity, the range for key date 31.12.9999 is used. Any object change sets a new validity.

The display and handling of the structures in the ProStructure widgets is always made according to the validity settings of the relationship. The validity settings made here are only applied when integrating other widgets such as object relationships, etc.

The reading of structures in ProMassMaintain is, if relevant, always done on the basis of the validity of the header data recorded for the resolution. The validity settings made here are only applied when integrating other widgets, such as object relationships, etc.
