Configuring in-context IDs (IDIC)

Stamp missing IDIC strings

You can use the me_fix_idic utility to stamp ID in context (IDIC) strings from a stable manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) structure to an engineering bill of materials (EBOM) structure in which the IDIC strings are somehow deleted. You can also use the utility to stamp IDICs from a product or plant structure to a process structure.

Note

  • The command may take some time to complete its task.

  • After the command completes you must restart Manufacturing Process Planner to see the changes.

Warning

IDIC values are not stamped if:

  • There are multiple empty IDICs in the EBOM or assigned lines in the process structure for a given itemid and propertyset (that is, for the same itemid and the transform for multiple lines with no IDIC).

  • An IDIC on a target line exists but is different from the source IDIC, even though the itemid and propertyset values match.
