	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>To manage product configurations (breakdown structures) during service and maintenance activities, you can set up a <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000310" role="glossary">physical breakdown</Link>. The physical breakdown is used to display the relation between <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#Objects.ts" role="glossary">serialized items</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/soc" role="module">Service Order Control</GUIRef> module, you can handle <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000046" role="glossary">service-order activities</Link>, which you can use to update active physical breakdowns.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If, in the <Link href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg0100m000" role="session">Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000)</Link> session, the <Link href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg0100m000#tscfg000.tcfg" role="fieldhelp">Configuration Status Usage</Link> check box is selected, a physical breakdown becomes active when the top-serialized item is set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/cfg.cfst#actv" role="enum">Active</GUIRef>. This event as well as subsequent changes to an item's physical breakdown will be automatically logged.</Paragraph>
