Use Cases related to Plant Configuration Specification
The Plant Configuration Specification is applied to the following structure:
In the above structure note the following:
• Plant 1 and Plant 2 are assigned to respective Parts.
• Part 2 B.1 is the revised version of Part 2 A.1. Part 2 A.1 and Part 2 B.1 have Effectivity 1 and Effectivity 2 respectively. There is similar effectivity assignment for the two versions of Part 4, Part 7 and Part 9.
• No plant is assigned to Part 5 and Part 10.
In the following use cases,
(part master) appears in the part structure when there is no part version that meets the plant configuration specification criteria.
| When applying the Plant Configuration Specification filter, you must also add the Latest configuration specification. The Plant Configuration Specification criteria should be added first, as shown in the image below. |
Use Case 1
• Plant Configuration Specification Criteria: Plant 1
• The Apply to top level object check box is cleared
Result
The Plant Configuration Specification applies from the top to the bottom. Plant 1 is assigned to Subassembly 1 and Part 1 . Part 2 A.1 and Part 2 B.1 satisfy the criteria. However, as effectivity is not the criteria, the latest version of the part, Part 2 B.1 appears. Subassembly 2 has Plant 2 assigned to it which does not satisfy the plant configuration specification criteria. There is no traversing through the child parts of Subassembly 2. Subassembly 2 appears with
(part master).
Use Case 2
• Plant Configuration Specification Criteria: Plant 2, Effectivity 2.
• The Apply to top level object check box is not cleared.
Result:
Only Assembly 1 appears. The subassemblies and their child parts do not satisfy the criteria for the Plant Configuration Specification.
Use Case 3
• Plant Configuration Specification Criteria 1: Plant 2, Effectivity 1
• Plant Configuration Specification Criteria 2: Plant 2
• The Apply to top level object check box is not cleared.
Result:
Here the previous version of the part 7, Part 7 A.1, satisfies the plant configuration specification criteria. Part 7 A.1 appears.
