Create Physical Breakdown Structure from ASCII-File (tscfg2210m100)
Use this session to create a physical breakdown structure from an ASCII file that can be, for example, a parts list of an illustrated parts catalog in ASCII format.
- The items in the ASCII file must exist in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, before you can create the physical breakdown from the ASCII file.
- If you run this session, LN automatically generates the items in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session and the serialized items in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session.
- You can create a new (unlinked) physical breakdown or you can link the newly-created physical breakdown to an Installation group or to a serialized item (component) in an existing physical breakdown.
Field Information
- Link To
-
Select how the newly created physical breakdown must be linked.
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.
- Installation Group
-
The installation group to which the physical breakdown must be linked.
Note: To enable this field, select the Installation Group option in the Link To field. - Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Item
-
The serialized item of an existing physical breakdown to which the newly-created physical breakdown must be linked.
- Serial Number
-
The serial number of the serialized item.
- Description
-
The item's name or description.
- Serialized Item Group
-
The serialized-item group of the newly-created serialized items.
Note: If the Serialized Item Group Usage parameter check box in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session is selected, this field must be filled. - Description
-
The name or description of the serialized item group.
- Delivery Time
-
The delivery time of the newly created serialized item. If you do not specify the value, LN considers the current time as the delivery time.
- Input File
-
The path where the ASCII file is located.
Example:
ret = string.scan(buffer, "%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%f|%s|%s|%s|%s", p.item, |* parent item p.sern, |* parent serial number c.posi, |* position c.item, |* child item c.sern, |* child serial number c.quan, |* quantity ref.designator, |* reference designator func.element, |* functional element p.project, |* project of parent item c.project) |* project of child item - Error Report
