Requirement - Effectivity Units (tcuef0107m000)
Use this session to link requirements to an effectivity unit to configure the effectivity unit.
Example
A requirement with the name GER represents the safety features for the German market. The safety features are reflected in adjustments of BOMs, routings, and so on, indicated by exceptions, which are linked to requirement GER. By linking the requirement GER to an effectivity unit, the German safety features apply to the effectivity unit. If the German safety features change, you must only change the appropriate exception linked to requirement GER, after which the change applies to all effectivity units with requirement GER.
On the menu, you can select how to display the session:

- Category
-
A code to group requirements. Examples of categories are: CUSTOMER, MARKET, MODEL, SIZE, COLOR, and so on. If you define a code in the Exclusive Indicator field in the Requirements (tcuef0106m000) session in addition to a category, you have a means to determine which requirement can be linked to an effectivity unit.
- Exclusive Indicator
-
A code to indicate that for a specific effectivity unit, a requirement cannot be combined with another requirement having the same category and exclusive indicator. You can define exclusive indicators and categories in the Requirements (tcuef0106m000) session.
The following is an example of the usage of the category and the exclusive indicator.
Requirement Category Exclusive Indicator HEAVY MODEL A NORMAL MODEL A LIGHT MODEL A W16 MODEL B W32 MODEL B BLUE COLOR A RED COLOR A The table shows that the requirements HEAVY, NORMAL and LIGHT have the same category and exclusive indicator. This means that only one of those requirements can be assigned to a specific effectivity unit. The same goes for the requirements BLUE and RED. Only one of the two requirements can be assigned to a specific effectivity unit.
