| # Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) This session contains: A history list of parameter sets and their effective dates. The most recent parameter sets are at the end of the list. The current parameter set, at the top of the list (without an effective date). To view historical sets, double-click one of the historical parameter sets. You can use the Print Service Parameters (tsmdm0400m000) session to print and compare the parameter sets. To view or change the current parameters, double-click the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. The Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session starts. If you make changes and save the new parameter setting, LN performs the following actions: Adds the new set at the end of the history list. Updates the current set (at the top of the list). Note By default, the Description field contains the date and time when the previous parameter setting was saved. To avoid confusion, if you change the parameters, change or delete the default Description text. Effective Date The date and time from which the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of the most recent parameter setting. Description The description of the parameter set, for example, the reason why the previous setting was changed. Display by Alternate Serial Numbers Determines how sessions in the Configuration Control module will browse when zooming to serialized items. If this check box is selected, the serialized items are sorted by the serial number that the business partner has assigned to the item. In this case, the Serialized Items - Alternate Identification (tscfg2502m000) session starts. If this check box is cleared, the serialized items are sorted by item and serial number. In this case, the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session starts. Note You can enter the business partner's serial number for a serialized item in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. The functionality of this parameter is used extensively in Configuration Management. Serialized Item Group Usage If this check box is selected, you must specify a serialized-item group when you fill in a serialized item field in the Configuration Control module. If this check box is not selected, you can optionally specify a serialized-item group when you fill in a serialized item field in the Configuration Control module. Note You can specify a default serialized-item group for a serialized item in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Unused concepts in Service Structure Type Usage If this check box is selected, Infor LN allows you to define the structure type of an item to classify the components of the physical breakdown structures. Empty Item Field Allowed If this check box is selected, you can leave the Item field in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session empty.

The statuses Startup and Revision are not used. Create Physical Breakdown Log If this check box is selected, changes to a serialized item's physical breakdown are automatically logged in the Physical Breakdown Log (tscfg2515m000) session, but only if the item's status in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session is Active. If this check box is cleared, changes to a serialized item's physical breakdown are not logged. Note If the Configuration Status Usage check box is selected, this check box is automatically selected and will be inactive.

Number Group The default number group for the physical breakdown structure changes. Note This field is applicable only if the Physical Breakdown Changes check box is selected. The Dedicated for field must be set to Service or Not Applicable in the Number Groups (tcmcs0151m000) session. The number group must be unique. Series The default series defined for the physical breakdown structure changes. Note This field is applicable only if the Physical Breakdown Changes check box is selected. The series for number group for the Physical Breakdown Changes must be defined in the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session. The Series Blocked for Input check box must not be selected in the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session. Generate First Free Numbers If this check box is selected, Infor LN generates the first free number. Number Group The default number group for the installation group. Note This field is applicable only if the Physical Breakdown Changes check box is selected. The Dedicated for field must be set to Service or Not Applicable in the Number Groups (tcmcs0151m000) session. The number group must be unique. Series The default series for the installation group. Note This field is applicable only if the Physical Breakdown Changes check box is selected. The series for number group for the Physical Breakdown Changes must be defined in the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session. The Series Blocked for Input check box must not be selected in the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session. Step Size for Installations The number that defines the sequence for the successive installations.
