Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000)

Use this session to create physical breakdowns from:

Item breakdowns
As-built structures
bill of material (BOM)

Field Information

Source

Selects the source of the new physical breakdown you create.

Select either of the following:

Item Breakdown
As-built Structure
Bill of Material

Deliveries

Use this option to create a physical breakdown from Sales (after sales). The end item (of the sales order), P-BOM is copied to a physical breakdown. If this check box is selected, you can use the fields in the Selection Range group box to create a physical breakdown from a range of Installation groups, items or serialized items. For this selection range, a physical breakdown will be created.

Skip existing parents

If this check box is selected, LN skips the creation of new physical breakdown relations between the existing parent serialized items and the child items that are part of an As-built Structure.

Note: This check box is enabled and selected when the Source field is set to As-built Structure.

Installation Group

The installation group to which the newly-created physical breakdown will be added.

Note: This field is only active if you select the Installation Group option in the Target field.

Description

The description or name of the code.

Creation Time

The start time when you select the Installation group range.

Creation Time

The end time when you select the Installation group range.

From Item

The initial item code in the range of serialized items, whose physical breakdowns are used to create a new physical breakdown.

To Item

The final item code in the range of serialized items, whose physical breakdowns are used to create a new physical breakdown.

Note: Insert only the top item of the bill of material , and you will get the entire bill of material.

Description

The name or description of the item.

Target

Selects the fate of the new physical breakdown you create.

Allowed values

Installation Group: The new physical breakdown is added to an existing installation group.
Breakdown: The new physical breakdown is added to an existing physical breakdown. In this case, the top item of the new breakdown will be the child item to whatever item you select in the existing breakdown.
New Breakdown: The new physical breakdown will be a physical breakdown on its own.

Note: If the Description check box is selected, LN selects the New Breakdown option, which you cannot change.

Serialized Item Group

The serialized-item group to which the serialized items in the newly-created physical breakdown will belong.

By default, LN uses the serialized-item group defined for the top item from which the breakdown is created, in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session, but only if one is defined.

Note: If, in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session, the Serialized Item Group Usage check box is selected, this field must be filled.

Serialized Item Group

The description or name of the serialized item group.

Service Office

The service department that will carry out service and maintenance activities, on the serialized items in the newly-generated physical breakdown.

Service Department

The description or name of the service department.

Delivery Time

The date and time that the item is delivered by the service organization. The delivery date is used in calculating the warranties' end date in case the service organization or its dealer provides warranty.

Installation Time

The date and time when the new serialized item is installed.

Note: The installation date is used in calculating the warranties' end date in case the service organization or the dealer provides warranty.

Check Effectivity

If this check box is selected, you can enter the date on which the item's breakdown terms are checked for validity.

Note: This check box is only active if you select Item Breakdown in the Source field.

Effective On

The date on which the service item's breakdown terms are checked for validity.

Note: If you select the Check Effectivity check box, you can enter the date in this field.

Generate Dummy Serial Numbers

If this check box is selected, when you create a physical breakdown from an item breakdown, the serial numbers generated for the new serialized items will be marked as dummy serial numbers. These can be replaced later by their real serial numbers.

Note: This field is only active if you select Item Breakdown in the Source field.

Consider Completed Production Orders Only

If this check box is selected, only the completed production orders are processed to create physical breakdown structure. If this check box is cleared, all the production orders are processed to create physical breakdown structure.

Note: The field is enabled only when you select the option As-built Structure in the Source field.
