Independent Assigned Expressions
Consider this information about loading independent expressions:
Ability to create and manage independent assigned expressions is an advanced capability subject to a separate license entitlement.
The option set must exist in the system before you start loading independent assigned expressions.
In the load file, include information on the independent expression immediately following information on loading the part to which it is assigned.
