Review configuration headers

You can review the data configuration for which different structures are defined as a header at the top of each work page in a work package.

For all work pages except the BOM Alignment page, that configuration is visible.

Procedure

  1. Search for and open an existing work package and navigate to the Manage Work Package page or to another defined work page.

       Available work pages in the work package reflect the structures your administrator has created. In this example, structures for an engineering bill of materials (EBOM), manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM), and Process (BOP) are defined, as reflected in the tiles that are displayed in the configuration header at the top of an Process Planning page.
         
       If no configuration is applied to a structure (the default
         configuration), only the structure name, user role, and revision are displayed for that
         structure. If all structures are not visible in the header, you can view hidden tiles by
         clicking the  and  buttons.
    
  2. In the Configuration panel, configure the structure.

       The header reflects the current or revised configuration settings. Hover your mouse over each section to review details.
         
       
             
               (1)
               
                 The type of structure being configured.
               
               (4)
               
                 Indicates that the Show
                     occurrences excluded by effectivity
                    check box is selected in the structure's Configuration panel.
               
             
             
               (2)
               
                 The structure's revision rule.
               
               (5)
               
                 Indicates that the Show
                     occurrences excluded by variant
                    check box is selected in the structure's Configuration panel.
               
             
             
               (3)
               
                 The unit effectivity (number of units and end item name). If
                   the structure is configured to use date-based effectivity, the date or date
                   range is displayed.
               
               (6)
               
                 Indicates that the Show excluded
                     assignments
                    check box is selected in the structure's Configuration panel.
