To maintain physical breakdowns

You can set up a physical breakdown to manage product configurations (breakdown structures) during service and maintenance activities. The physical breakdown is used to display the relation between serialized items

In the Service Order Control module, you can handle service-order activities, which you can use to update active physical breakdowns.

If, in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session, the Configuration Status Usage check box is selected, a physical breakdown becomes active when the top-serialized item is set to Active. This event, as well as subsequent changes to an item's physical breakdown, are automatically logged.

How to maintain physical breakdowns

Use the commands on the appropriate menu in the session to create a physical breakdown from one of the following:

Note: You can set up breakdown structures for non-customized items in an item breakdown.
