Compare effectivity when running an accountability check
In 4GD, effectivity is represented with multiple properties, meaning it is a complex property. In manufacturing, occurrence effectivity is stored in one property only. When these effectivities are compared, only one of the complex values is mapped to the effectivity BOM line property and is displayed as part of the comparison details.
Procedure
While running an accountability check, select the Consider Effectivity for Partial Match check box in the Design Element Properties pane.
Specify the properties that you want to compare by selecting them in the Available Properties list and moving them to the Selected Properties list.
The list of properties available for comparison is contained in the Mpd0CpdBomPartialMatchProperties global constant.
- Click OK to run the accountability check.
The Effectivity tab is displayed in the Partial Match Details section.
