| Engineering Item (tiedm0110m000)Note You can select only a non-configurable item. To modify an existing item, double-click it. To define a new
item, click the Insert button. You can delete items with the Delete button. You cannot delete an E-item if the E-item is: - A component in an EBOM.
- Recorded in the E-Item by MBC (tiedm3122m000) session.
- Recorded in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session.
If you delete an E-item, you also delete the following data
of that E-item: - Relationships between E-items and items defined in the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session.
- EBOMs.
- Copy data of EBOMs.
- Revisions.
You can start the following sessions from the appropriate menu: General Engineering Item An item in the process of development. You can define multiple revisions of an engineering item.
Typically, the most recent revisions are still in a design or test phase,
another revision may have been taken into production, and older revisions are
obsolete. A normal item can only become revision-controlled when it is
copied from the Engineering Data Management module. Note - You can select only a non-configurable item.
- The item is always specified in capitals.
Search Key I Enter a text to enable you to find the E-item. Search Key II Enter a text to enable you to find the E-item. Engineering Project The project of the engineering item that you can use to
manage and control the engineering activities. E-Item Reference You can use this field to enter another descriptive text
about the E-item. Item Type A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for
example, a purchased item, a manufactured item, or an equipment item. Depending
on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item. E-items can be: - Manufactured
- Purchased
- Engineering Module
Default Supply Source The source that supplies an item by default. An item can be
supplied by using purchase orders, production orders, assembly orders, or
warehousing orders. The default supply source determines what type of order is
used to supply the item, but in general, you can override the default and
specify an alternate source. Item Group Group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs
to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item
type to set up item defaults. Order Policy The order parameter that controls the way an item is produced
or ordered. This can be: - Anonymous, the item is produced or purchased independent of
customer orders.
- To order, the item is produced or purchased only if customer
orders exist for the item.
Product Type User-definable item grouping data that is used as a sorting and
selecting criterion. The product type is intended for classifying items with
similar characteristics for production purposes. Selection Code User-definable item grouping data. Use selection codes to
select items by color, diameter, product expiry date, and so on. Note Selection codes are used for information purposes
only. Extra Information The additional information about the engineering item. Note The information is defaulted from the Item - General Defaults (tcibd0102s000) session. Configuration Unit Effective End Item If this check box is selected, the E-item is a unit-effective item. You can make an item unit effective only if the Unit Effectivity check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected. Note If you are using unit effectivity, you usually define the
end item as unit effective. The components that differ in other effectivity
units do not have to be unit effective. Interchangeable If this check box is selected, this E-item is
interchangeable with other unit-effective interchangeable E-items. If you selected the All Effectivity Units are Interchangeable check box in the Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0100s000) session, LN automatically selects
the current check box, which cannot be altered in this session. Select this check box if you use effectivity units to
control product variation changes. Clear this check box if you use change
management. Note If the Unit Effective End Item check box in the current session is cleared, this check box is
unavailable. CHM Control If this check box is selected, an approval procedure is
linked to the engineering item. You
must complete the approval procedure in Change Management in Data Management. Effectivity Dates by CO If this check box is selected, the effective date on
the revision is set during the approval procedure in Data Management. This
effective date is used as effective date on the BOM lines after the E-item data
is copied to the PBOM. If this check box is cleared, you must enter the
effective and expiry dates manually in the engineering item revision, although Data Management is still
used to approve the revision. Multiple COs If this check box is selected, you can link multiple
change proposals (multiple COs) to the revision. The first change proposal that
is approved, also approves the revision. If this check box is cleared, you
can only link one proposal to the revision. New Revision by Copy from P-Item allowed This check box is relevant if: - You use the Copy Shop Floor PBOM to EBOM (tiedm0205m000) session to copy an item's production BOM to Engineering Data Management, for example, for redesigning purposes.
- The production BOM contains items which result from
former engineering activities in Engineering Data Management. These items already have revision numbers.
If this check box is selected, a new revision is
created for the engineering item that is defined in this session. If this check box is cleared, no new revision is created
for the engineering item. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. | |
