| | Functional ElementFunctional elements are a group of exchangeable items with
identical functions and can be used in item breakdowns, physical breakdowns,
and reference activities. You can use functional elements: - To define reference activities for groups of similar items at
once, rather than define multiple, identical reference activities.
- To list several exchangeable items for a specific position in
the item breakdown.
You can define a single reference activity that describes the
removal of a fan rather than define the removal of item Fan-54576787. If the
reference activity is linked to a work order, you can specify the actual item
that is placed in the physical breakdown. - Functional elements can only be defined if the Functional Elements Active check box in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session is selected.
- You cannot change the functional element in a physical
breakdown.
- A parent item and child item combination can only belong to
one functional element.
