Generate Item Material Content (tcmpr0220m000)

Use this session to generate the material content for the materials and items specified in this session.

Performance aspects

The settings in this session could affect system performance and database growth.

The processing of an item structure creates additional records in the database and takes up resources.

Note: Clicking the Generation Results button starts the Generation Results (tcmpr0121m000) session, in which you can display a results summary of the generation process (run). Next, if you double-click a record, the Item Material Content Generation Results (tcmpr0621m000) session starts in which you can view more detailed results, such as the generated material content for all relevant items and the generation errors.

Field Information

From

The range of materials for which the content is generated.

Scope of Generation

Standard Items

If this check box is selected, material content is generated for all standard items.

Note:

Standard items have an item type of Manufactured, Purchased, or Product and cannot be customized or configured.
The Item Type Product can be used only if the Item Type Product field can be set to Active in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
The Item Type Purchased and/or Manufactured is used only if the Item Type Product field is set to Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

PCS Projects

If this check box is selected, item material content is generated for all customized items of PCS projects.

Project range

The range of projects for which item material content is generated.

Note: The project or project range must have the status Active or Finished for material content to be generated. No item material content is generated for projects with the status Free, Closed, and Archived.

Engineering Modules

If this check box is selected, item material content is generated for all items of the type engineering module.

Assembly Variants

If this check box is selected, item material content is generated for product variants that are used for assembly items.

Note: This check box is visible only if the Assembly (APL/ASC/ASL) parameter is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

Variants Range

The range of assembly product variants for which item material content is generated.

Note: For variants with the statuses Open, Closed, and Canceled, no material content is generated.

Options

Effectivity Unit

The effectivity unit which is applied to upon reading the product structure of the items for which the item material content must be generated.

Note: If an effectivity unit is specified, the generated results may deviate due to exceptions in the item product structure.

Allowed values

Effectivity units

Effective Date

Specify the date for which the item material content is generated.

Note: Materials must be effective on this date to be included in the generation process.

Skip if already Generated

If this check box is selected, LN skips the process of generating the item material content, if a previous run of generating the material prices is executed. This option is useful when the actual calculated material prices must not be updated, for example, for projects.

Overwrite Manual and Modified Item Material Content

If this check box is selected, manually specified or modified item material content entries are overwritten on generation.

Note: Only applicable if manually specified item material content is present on multiple levels of the product structure.

Print Error Report

If this check box is selected, the error report for the material content list is printed.
