| To define setup classes and setup states for product
featuresParticularly production orders for customized items configured
in the Product Configuration module benefit from the setup optimization based on
setup statuses. To use setup optimization rules for customized items, you must
link the product features and options of an item as defined in Product Configuration to setup classes and setup states. The links are valid for a specific combination of a work
center and a task. If the customized item's project structure including the BOM
and the routing, are generated, those links are used to find the following: - A setup class that matches a specific product feature.
- A setup state that matches a specific option.
Procedure Take the following steps to set up your data in LN so that you can use
setup optimization for generic items: - Define setup classes in the Setup Classes (tcmcs0185m000) session.
- Define setup states in the Setup States (tcmcs0186m000) session.
Use the Setup Classes and States by Work Center/Task (tirou0112m000) session to link PCF product
features with setup classes, and to link PCF options with setup states. If production orders are generated for the customized items,
the setup classes and setup states are stored on operation level. -
- Use the Setup Classes and States by Routing Operation (tirou1104m000) session to check the setup
classes and setup states that are linked to the operations of a specific
customized item.
- Use the Setup Classes and States by Operation (tisfc0133m000) session to check the setup classes
and setup states that are linked to the operations of an specific production
order.
The same process as for standard items applies now. For more
information, refer to To define setup classes and setup states.
