To create a physical breakdown from an item breakdown

To create a physical breakdown from an item breakdown, take the following steps:

1. Start the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session.
2. In the Source field, select Item Breakdown.
3. Under Item Breakdown, enter the top item of the item breakdown.
4. In the Target field, select one of the following:
   • Installation Group
     The top item in the item breakdown is set as the top-serialized item in the physical breakdown. The components on all levels in the item breakdown are exactly copied to serialized items. The serial number of the serialized item is created according to a mask.
   • Breakdown
     The top item of the item breakdown must exist as a child item in the physical breakdown you enter. The components on all levels in the item breakdown are exactly copied to serialized items. The serial number of the serialized item is created according to a mask.
   • New Breakdown
     LN creates a new physical breakdown.
5. Under Defaults, enter or select the following:
   • The serialized item group to which the newly created serialized items will belong.
   • Service department (optional).
   • Delivery time (optional).
6. Under Item Effectiveness, select the Check Effectivity check box to enter a date that LN uses to check the validity of the item-breakdown components. LN only copies the components that are valid on the entered date. If you want to copy all components, leave the Check Effectivity check box cleared.
7. Under Options, select the Generate Dummy Serial Numbers check box, and any of the other check boxes, as required.
8. Click Create.
