Once a new sourcing status has been added and assigned a numeric value, it must not be modified.
|
|
All the internal values in AXLPreferenceRB.rbInfo must be in lower case.
|
|
You can assign an integer from 1 to 100 as a numeric value for the sourcing status. A higher numeric value indicates a higher ranking. The out-of-the-box sourcing status values are as follows:
do_not_use=20
approved=40
preferred=60
For example, to add a new value, Recommended, add the following lines to the AXLPreferenceRB.rbInfo file:
recommended.value=Recommended recommended.order=50

When you add customized sourcing status values, the value reflected on the OEM part is the sourcing status with the highest numeric value on the supplier part added to the AML/AVL. In the example above, the OEM part has a Recommended sourcing status assigned to it because there are no other supplier parts in the AML/AVL with a numeric value greater than 50.

• The recommended.ss option configures the icon used to identify a particular sourcing status when the part is single-sourced.
• Once your configurations are added to site.xconf, run xconfmanager -p to propagate the changes to the codebase, then restart the Method server. For more information on the xconfmanager utility, see the Windchill Installation and Configuration Guide.
