Applicability for Parts Lists
Product: Windchill Service Parts
Release: 11.0 F000
Benefit
You can assign applicability to a parts list object.
Additional Details
Applicability based on ATO (option/choice selection) or Service Effectivity (information such as date or serial number) can now be assigned to a parts list in two ways:
• Applicability settings for a BOM part are copied forward to the parts list it generates during a Generate Parts List action in Windchill Service Parts
• Option/choice selections can be configured for a parts list object with the Manage Applicability option in a service structure
The selections can be defined with basic expressions (simple selection) or advanced expressions (AND, OR, and NOT statements).
The items in the parts list will be affected when a filter based on applicability is applied to the parts list.
Applicability (ATO and Service Effectivity) settings for a parts list are synchronized between the parts list and its associated content holder in a service structure. The link between the parts list and the content holder is made when you insert a Parts List Information Element into a structure. Once the link is in place, the synchronization of applicability settings between the two objects takes place with two types of actions:
• Editing the parts list’s applicability settings in Windchill Service Parts, then checking in the parts list
• Editing the applicability settings for the relevant parts list content holder in the service structure, then checking in the content holder
Multiple parts lists with different applicability values can be maintained in a service structure in this way.
