Product configuration without projectConfiguration of parameters for various
scenarios You can configure items either in the Product Configurator (PCF) or the PCM Configurator. You can select a combination of the Product Configuration and the PCM configurator parameters in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session possible scenarios:
BOM and routing for configured items You can maintain the bill of material (BOM) and routing for configured items using various methods, depending on the supply source:
Note If item configuration is performed in PCM Configurator without the (generic) assembly BOM and the related information, LN maintains the data. Generation of customized BOMs and routings in
PCM The Generate (Project) Structure for Product Variant (tipcs2220m000) and Generate (Project PCS) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000) sessions can been used in combination with PCM Configurator to trigger the retrieval of the variant structures from PCM and the regeneration, based on the variant structure obtained from PCM, of custom item codes and project structures. Note If the variant is generated in PCF, validation is performed using the Validate Product Variants (tipcf5200m000) session. If the variant is generated in the PCM configurator, the PCM configurator status translates into a validation of status in LN. Generation of customized item codes in PCM If you use PCF, the custom item codes are generated from the Generic Item - Settings for Data Generation (tipcf3101m000) session. This is not possible for items configured with the PCM configurator. Note If all the items are configured in the PCM Configurator, the Generic Item - Settings for Data Generation (tipcf3101m000) is disabled. The PCM configurator allows for the redaction of configuration (items, BOM and Routing) specific documents, images and (data) files (such as pdf, docx, CAD, SVC, image, test). These documents can be used in LN for further processing. If both configurators are active, an error message is displayed if a duplicate configuration registers during import of the data from the PCM configurator into LN.
