Consumable Resource Allocations for Operations
When you associate various attributes to the consumable resource allocations for operations in a process plan in Windchill MPMLink, Windchill ESI passes the attributes to the EAI software components. The following attributes are passed:
• Allocation Number
• Number
• Quantity
• Quantity Unit
• Resource Category
Once the consumable resource allocations for operations data have been published by Windchill ESI Services, the EAI software components map the Windchill consumable resource allocations for operations attributes to SAP material table attributes. The following table shows the mapping of Windchill consumable resource allocations for operations attributes to SAP material master attributes
