| # Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000) Use this session to maintain item breakdowns for a service item. If the Functional Elements Active check box in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session is selected, you can use the functional element in item breakdowns. The Level Up command is always disabled for the item that is displayed when you start this session, because a child item can have more than one parent item. Use the Item Breakdowns - Where-used Components (tscfg1510m100) session to display the item breakdowns on a higher level. Use the View Tree command to view the item breakdown by means of the graphical browser framework. You can create a physical breakdown from an item breakdown. Related topics To create an item breakdown from a standard production BOM To modify an item breakdown To create a physical breakdown from an item breakdown To use functional elements Parent Item The service item for which the item breakdown is defined. You can also use this item in other item breakdowns. Description The name or description of the parent item. Position The position number of the child item or child component in the breakdown. Default value Numbering Sequence The sequence number in the breakdown level. The sequence number enables you to define more than one child item for each position and to log changes in the item breakdown. Item The item that is part of the parent item. Note The project segment of the item-code segmentation is not applicable in this session. Related topics Parent/child relation Description The description or name of the child item. Quantity The quantity of this particular child item that is part of the parent item. Note The default value is one. Quantity The inventory unit of the child item that is defined in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. Functional Element The description or name of the functional element. Functional Element The functional element to which the item (component) in the item breakdown relates. Note You can only use funtional elements in item breakdowns if, in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session, the Functional Elements Active check box is selected. Reference Designator Indicates the location to insert a component on an item, for example, where to mount an electronic component on a Printed Circuit Board. Reference designators are often used in electronics, and can originate from a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) station. Note If there are no reference designators on the BOM line for an item then only one item line is created in the Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000) session. If there are reference designators on the BOM line then item lines are created for each {item, reference designator} pair in the Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000) session. Example If the Net Quantity field on the BOM line for an item is 4, then the maximum number of reference designators that can be related to the item are 4. In the Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000) session a line is created for each {item, reference designator} pair. If you enter 2 in the Net Quantity field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session and enter only one reference designator in the Reference Designators by BOM (tibom0120m000) session, then 2 lines are created in the Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000) session, one line for the {item, reference designator} pair and one line for the item. There is no one to one relation between Bill of Material and Item Breakdown because of the Net Quantity field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session and the Quantity fileld in the Reference Designators by BOM (tibom0120m000) session. These BOM lines are copied into the Item Breakdowns (tscfg1110m000) session when you click the button Create in the Create Item Breakdown from Standard Production BOM (tscfg1210m200) session. Related topics Overview of reference designators. Description The description or name of the code. This can be, for example, a code that expresses the location where you must mount a component item. Structure Type The type of physical breakdown structure defined for the item. LN does not allow you to install an item with Structure Type set to Structure as a child of a physical item. Allowed values Structure Type Note This field is visible only if the Structure Type Usage check box is selected in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000). Effective Time The date on which the parent-child relation becomes active. Expiry Time The date on which the parent-child relation expires. Note The Expiry time cannot be earlier than the Effective Time. Text Text (additional) Parent Item Picture The picture of the parent item, defaulted from the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session. Note If you access the details of a particular line, the picture of the child items that are part of the line is displayed in the Picture tab. Where-used Components Displays the items that are parent items of the item selected in the overview session. The listed items all have the selected item as a component. Create Item Breakdown from Standard Production BOM Starts the Create Item Breakdown from Standard Production BOM (tscfg1210m200) session. Replace Item in Item Breakdowns Starts the Replace Item in Item Breakdown (tscfg1210m000) session. Create Physical Breakdown Starts the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session. Level Up Displays the parent item one level up. If the current parent item is the item on the highest level in the breakdown, this command is disabled. Level Down Displays the components of a child item in the current breakdown. You must first select a line in the breakdown to enable this command. View &All Displays all the items in the physical breakdown. View &Effective Only Displays the effective items only. View &Tree Displays the item breakdown in a graphical manner. |
