Option Combinations List - Option Combinations (tiasl1565m000)

Use this session to list the option combinations present in an option-combination list.

For option combinations the following rules exist:

  • Blocking rules
    An option combination list can be used as a blocking rule. Blocking rules define which option combination cannot succeed another option combination. If you have multiple option combinations, blocking rules can also define which option combination cannot succeed a multiple option combination.
  • Clustering rules
    An option combination list can be used as a clustering rule. Clustering rules can define multiple option combinations in a cluster, and clusters those combinations. LN attaches a sequence number to every option combination.

You can define option-combination lists in the Option Combination Lists (tiasl1511m000) session.

 

Option List Code
List Type

The type of rule for which this list is used.

Allowed values

  • Clustering
    This option combination list determines which options must be clustered.
  • Blocking
    This option combination list determines which options are not allowed to succeed particular other options.
Option Combination A

A specific combination of product options, for example, color or style, that are related to an assembly order.

Each option combination is either a single option, or a combination of other option combinations.

If this list is of type Clustering, the option combinations in this column will be placed next to each other, in the order given in the Sequence/Penalty field.

If this list is of type Blocking, the option combinations in this column cannot immediately precede the option combination in the matching Option Combination B field.

Note

In some places, the Option Combination A field is labeled as Block Option Combinations.

Option Combination B

A specific combination of product options, for example, color or style, that are related to an assembly order.

Each option combination is either a single option, or a combination of other option combinations.

If this list is of type Blocking, the option combinations in this column cannot immediately follow the option combination in the matching field of the Option Combination A column.

Note

In some places, the Option Combination B field is labeled as Option Combination.

Sequence/Penalty

This function of this field depends on the value of the List Type field.

If this list is of type Clustering, this field indicates the sequence that the option combinations are clustered in.

If this list is of type Blocking, this field indicates the penalty cost applied when a rule using this option combination list is not met during sequencing.

Note

In some places, the Sequence/Penalty field is labeled as Cluster Sequence or Block Penalty.

Explanation

If the list type is Blocking, this field describes the effect of the blocking rule.
