Assigning Distribution Targets Based on Plant Data
By using the Enable View to Distribution Target Mappings based on View on Plant Data preference, you can define a mapping between View on Plant Data and Distribution Targets.
To enable this feature, set the following preferences in Preference Management:
1. Set the value of Enable View to Distribution Target Mappings based on View on Plant Data to Yes.

The assignment can be done in two ways:

Create Distribution Targets as follows:
Set View to Distribution Target Mappings as:

Create a part with plant data:
DISTRIBUTIONTARGET1, DISTRIBUTIONTARGET2, and DISTRIBUTIONTARGET3, are assigned as part of auto-assignment.
