Physical breakdown changes

The physical breakdown changes functionality is used to register and process multiple changes to a single level of the relations of a parent item in the Physical Breakdown Structure. Multiple changes can be specified and maintained. All the modifications to a breakdown level is updated to the PBS at once after approval.

A new change number is created for each physical breakdown change. Based on the configuration management parameters the physical breakdown structure can be created automatically, manually or through a BOD message.

• Automatically created physical breakdown: During the completion of the physical breakdown change, a physical breakdown structure can be created automatically only if the Automatically Update from Maintenance Sales, Automatically Update from Service Orders, Automatically Update from Work Orders check boxes are selected in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session.
• Manually created physical breakdown: You can create the breakdown changes manually using the Physical Breakdown - Changes (tscfg2640m000) session or by selecting the Create Physical Breakdown option from the Action menu in the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) session.
• Physical breakdown created through a BOD message.
