Validating the Logic for a Configurable Module
Validating the logic allows you to verify that the logical information entered for the top-level configurable module is correct.
|
The Validate Logic action is only available when the root node of the structure is a configurable module.
|
To validate the logic for a configurable module:
1. Open the configurable module in the Product Structure Explorer.
2. Select > > .
|
If you have any unsaved changes, you are prompted to save your changes. You cannot validate the logic until you have saved your changes.
|
3. The Validate Logic window appears, providing information on the following:
◦ Reports if it is possible to generate at least one solution.
◦ Suggests locations for page breaks. Page breaks are necessary to separate the specification of the number of an optional subpart from specifications of parameters within the optional subpart.
◦ Report all constraints on parameter values that include the equality operator (==).
Preference for Checking Attributes
You can set a preference to control whether the system checks if the attributes of a configurable module are in agreement with the attributes of the standard part that is being attached as a variant to the configurable module.
If Part Attribute Validation When Attaching a Variant is set to true (or not set), the system checks the configurable module to make sure its attributes match with those of the standard part. If a mismatch is found, the standard part is not attached as a variant.
If Part Attribute Validation When Attaching a Variant is set to false, the attribute check is skipped, and the standard part is attached even if the attributes may not match.
