Copying Standard Production Structure to Customized Structure

The copy procedure is as follows:

  • For each standard item that must be copied to a customized item, LN first checks whether the code of the standard item is present as the code of a customized item. If it is, a new customized item code can be generated automatically, on the basis of the first free customized item code recorded using the Projects (tipcs2101m000) session. If necessary, you can change the new code.
  • If no customized item is present for the standard item, the data of the standard item is copied to the new customized item (target project) code. After copying the item data, the production BOMs and the operations for manufactured parts are copied to customized BOMs and customized operations for the customized item (target project).
  • If there is already a customized item for the target project for the original item, item data is not copied for the existing customized item. The relevant customized item and its underlying customized product structure are regarded as the substitute for the standard item. This does not apply to the first BOM level in the standard product structure. The production BOM and the operations for the standard item at the top of the standard product structure, are always copied to the existing customized item for the copy project. This happens after previous existing data has been deleted.
  • When a standard item is copied to a customized item, the E-item relationships are copied as well.
