Creating an Accountability Map
To create an accountability map in MAPSB, do the following:
1. Select parts from upstream view or downstream view, or from both the views. If you used
Highlight Selected Rows and
Quick Search actions, the highlighted parts are added automatically to the tables in the
Create Accountability Map dialog box.
2. From the middle toolbar, click > . The Create Accountability Map dialog box opens.
3. In the Set Attributes step, provide the required details to create an Accountability map, such as Type, Name, Number, and Location of the accountability map. Optionally, add a description of the accountability map in Description.
| If you have defined any custom attributes, those are also displayed in the Create Accountability Map dialog box. Optionally, provide details for the custom attributes. |
4. Perform one of the following to proceed:
◦ Click Finish and Open to open the accountability map in a new MAPSB session.
◦ Click Finish to complete creating the accountability map.
◦ To add parts or modify the part selection in the accountability map, click Next. Use the following instructions:
1. In the Content step, the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables list the current selection of parts in the accountability map. To add parts to the Upstream Selected Paths or Downstream Selected Paths tables, copy parts from upstream and downstream views in MAPSB using the > Copy action.
2. In the
Upstream Selected Paths or
Downstream Selected Paths tables, click
Paste Paths to paste the parts under respective tables.
You can also change the value of Quantity. The value of quantity must be a positive integer and less than excess usage quantity.
3. Click Finish.
The selected parts are added to the accountability map. You can view the accountability map at the specified location.
The selected parts are added to the accountability map. You can view the accountability map at the specified location.
Use
Remove Paths, available in the
Upstream Selected Paths and
Downstream Selected Paths tables. This action is available in the toolbar of these tables.
At any point in time, you can add or copy only one instance of a part and its associated quantity to the Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables. If you try to copy a part that already exists in Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables, the action is disregarded. The value of quantity for those parts remains unchanged in the tables.
When the quantity of a part in accountability map is modified or updated in the Content page, and that part is filtered out in Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables, the updated value of quantity is disregarded in the accountability map.
In addition to the existing default columns, you can also add Line Number and Status Change columns to Upstream Selected Paths and Downstream Selected Paths tables.
The following considerations apply when using the Create Accountability Map action:
• You cannot add a root part to an accountability map. Even if you select a root part for addition, the selection of the root part is ignored.
• You need to select at least one part from upstream or downstream view to add to an accountability map.
• Accountability map stores root part information and individual path information for parts in upstream and downstream views.
• Windchill stores the configuration settings that were applied when creating an accountability map. For example, plant filter, attribute filter, set options and choices applied when creating an accountability map. When you open the accountability map in MASPB, all these settings are retained.
• Root parts are not required to be equivalent to add parts in an accountability map.
• The Number field in the Create Accountability Map dialog box is autogenerated if you specify Object Initialization Rules for an accountability map type.
