Creating a Part for Effectivity Context
In order for the configuration level effectivity features to be enabled, the product structure must have a part (usually an end item) to give the effectivity context. This part is usually the top assembly of the product structure. To create a part for effectivity context, use the following procedure:
1. Create a
new part and specify a value of
Serial Number for the
Default Trace Code attribute in the
New Part window.
2. Click Next and specify that the part is an end item, if desired.
3. Fill in all other required fields, specify Effectivity, and then click Finish. Note the part number for the change directive effectivity context.
