To create a physical breakdown from an as-built structure

You can use the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session to create the physical breakdown from an as-built structure.

If you create a physical breakdown from an as-built structure, this results in a direct copy of serialized items present in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session of Manufacturing to the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session of Service. The physical breakdown is created with the same structure as the as-built structure.

To create a physical breakdown from an as-built structure

1. Start the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session.
2. In the Source field, select As-built Structure.
3. Under As-built Structure, enter or select the as-built (top) item and serial number to copy from. The as-built (top) item cannot be lot controlled. Make sure that as-built component data is present in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session for the as-built (top) item. The non-serialized items in the as-built component data must be present in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. Otherwise, no physical breakdown is created.
4. On the Source tab, in the Link To section, select one of the following in the Target field:

   • Installation Group

     The top item in the item breakdown is set as the top-serialized item in the physical breakdown. The components in all levels in the item breakdown are exactly copied to the 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 in 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 belongs.
   • Service department (optional).
   • Delivery time (optional).
6. Select the Process Report check box and the Error Report check box as required.
7. Click Process.

As-built structure copied to an Installation group

• A new Installation group configuration is created.
• The top item in the as-built structure is set as the top-serialized item in the physical breakdown.
• The child items (as-built component data) on all levels in the as-built structure are copied exactly to the physical breakdown.
• The serialized as-built components are copied to the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The non-serialized as-built components are copied to the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session.

As-built structure copied to a breakdown

• The top item of the as-built structure must exist as a child item in the physical breakdown you enter.
• The child items (as-built component data) on all levels in the as-built structure are copied exactly to the physical breakdown.
• The serialized as-built components are copied to the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The non-serialized as-built components are copied to the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session.

As-built structure copied to a new breakdown

• The child items (as-built component data) on all levels in the as-built structure are copied exactly to the physical breakdown.
• The serialized as-built components are copied to the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The non-serialized as-built components are copied to the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session.
