Identifying Parts Lists Affected by Changes to Generic Parts List (Template)
When a generic parts list (template) has been updated, any spare part parts lists that were generated from it display a Regenerate Required flag.
The addition of a Regenerate Required flag depends on the current setting for the Service Parts preference Parts Lists Auto-Regeneration. The preference has two values:
• Yes — Spare part parts lists are regenerated automatically when their source generic parts list (template) has been updated.
• No (default) — Spare part parts lists have the Regenerate Required flag set when their source generic parts list (template) has been updated
Affected spare part parts lists can be regenerated manually.
Windchill Service Parts provides a report that lists the part lists in an information structure that need to be regenerated.
For more information, see
Setting Service Preferences.
The
Regenerate Required flag can be displayed as a column and icon
in two places:
• The Information Element List of an information structure
• The product’s Folders view
You can sort on the column to identify those spare part parts lists in a product or structure that may need to be regenerated .
You will need to customize your views of these tables to expose the
Regenerate Required column and icon. For more information, see
Customizing Table Views.
You can also run a report that lists the spare part parts lists in an information structure that need to be regenerated after an update to the generic parts list (template). Select the > menu option from the Structure tab of an information structure to generate the list.
For more information, see
Service Structure Editing.
| If a filter applied to the information structure has removed a parts list, the parts list will not be listed in the Parts Lists Requiring Regeneration report. |
