Clone Control Groups

Description

Name of the clone control group.

BOM status

When copying a BOM (document or material), the status is normally defined by the template. This inputs overrides this setting.
For BOM (material) the BOM status can be set individually per plant and usage. See BOM Usage/Status.

BOM ChngNoCheck

When replacing a component with structure with a component without structure the use must define whether the BOM of the reference shall be clone to the replacement object.
Depending on the system configuration (e.g. with ProConfiguration ) it is necessary to check if the current revision / object change matches the change number of the clone operation. If not, the user will be informed. When replacing the highest object of a clone operation the user must decide to use the change number for the clone operation, for inferior components the replacement is not allowed.

Lock BOM

Option whether cloned BOM (material or document) cannot be edited or at least with a warning, if the clone job is still active. An active clone job means, the clone log has not be deleted or the clone job is blocked for further clone operations (see also MSC | ProMassOperations | User Manual ).

Clone empty BOM

If activated, the component with an empty BOM will also have an empty BOM in its clone.
This may be used for empty Easy DMS template structures (no documents) which may be cloned for actual use.

Max. doc.vers.

If activated, the highest document version will be used when cloning a document BOM. Two options are possible:

• Use last released version

• Use highest version
  If the BOM contains more than one document version, only the highest will be indicates, the other positions may be ignored.
