Use Case 2: Collecting Raw Materials with the Latest Version
You can use the
Collect raw material or semi-finished objects action to collect raw materials based on the version. In MPMLink, the collector collects only the objects. It does not collect link-related entities. Also, the system skips holder objects such as made from set, co-produce etc.
Consider the following structure:
Structure Details:
• The raw material link between Made From Set 1 and Raw Material 1 has Effectivity 1 assigned to it.
• Effectivity 1 is also assigned to Raw Material 1.
Replace Raw Material 1 with Raw Material 2.
• The raw material link between Made From Set 1 and Raw Material 2 has Effectivity 2 assigned to it.
• Effectivity 2 is also assigned to Raw Material 2.
Due to these changes, the iteration of the made from set object changes.
Scenario: Set Configuration Specification Criteria to Latest
Set the configuration specification criteria as Latest.
Initiate the
Collect raw material or semi-finished objects action in the collector. In this case,
Raw Material 2 is collected.
