About Setting Filter Criteria in Quick Plant Filter
The following options are available to set criteria in Quick Plant Filter:
• Plant—Select a valid plant-specific view. The listed views represent actual plants in an organization. The options in this list are specified as values in the List of Plant-Specific Views preference. The behavior of the List of Plant-Specific Views preference depends on the values configured in the List of Applicable Views preference. The list of views is a union of the two preferences. If the default value of List of Plant-Specific Views is null, then the views specified in List of Applicable Views preference are displayed for the Plant field.
Some considerations that apply are explained with the help of sample use cases, as follows:
◦ When List of Plant-Specific Views preference is set to Plant1, Plant2, Plant3 and List of Applicable Views preference is set to Design,Manufacturing,Plant1, the value Plant1 is displayed in Plant list.
◦ When List of Plant-Specific Views is set to blank, then the plant list displays all the views specified in the value field of List of Applicable Views preference.
◦ When List of Applicable Views is set to blank, then the plant list displays all the views specified in the List of Plant-Specific Views preference.
◦ Values specified in List of Plant-Specific Views preference take precedence over the values set in List of Applicable Views. If there are no common views in List of Plant-Specific Views and List of Applicable Views preferences, the plant list displays all the views specified in the List of Plant-Specific Views preference.
• Effectivity Date—Enter an effectivity date. The value is prepopulated from the existing plant configuration specification if it is already specified in the > tab in BOM Transformer.
• Plant Life Cycle State—Select a valid life cycle state of the plant.
• Variant Specification—Select one or more variant specification from the list. The list displays only those variant specifications that are related to the top node of the tree structure opened in BOM Transformer. The options displayed in this list depend on the values specified in the List of Applicable Variant Specifications preference.
• Include Parts with No Plant Assignment—Determines whether parts with no plant assignment should be displayed in the filtered structure. On applying the filter criteria set using Quick Plant Filter with the check box disabled, the part with no plant assignment is hidden from the tree structure.
Consider the following points when working with Quick Plant Filter:
• Plant Life Cycle State is prepopulated only if you specified or selected appropriate values or options in > tab.
• Include Parts with No Plant Assignment check box is enabled only when you have selected an option related with the plant filter in the Quick Plant Filter Behavior preference.
