| # Maintaining EBOM Copy Data Data selection To create the copy data for a single-level of a BOM, select a parent E-item of a particular revision from which the data originates, and a parent item to which the data is to be copied. The parent item is the item at the next higher level in the BOM structure compared to the component(s) for which you record the copy data. If a relationship does not already exist between the E-items and items, ERP Enterprise generates the link when you save the data. To copy the data You can copy the data you generate in this session with the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) session. If you want to copy only the data that you see in the current view, you can select the Copy engineering data option on the appropriate menu (CTRL+SHIFT+X). appropriate menu options In the appropriate menu, you can start the following sessions: Generate EBOM Copy data If you find that the copy data is different from the EBOM, you must use this option to update the copy data for the single-level BOM. If you want to copy a multilevel EBOM, use the Generate EBOM Copy Data (Multilevel) (tiedm1230m000) session. Note that the lines are not actually copied. Only the copy data is updated. Check Consistency If the copy data of the EBOM and the production BOM differs, ERP Enterprise displays a message stating in which BOM position (line) the discrepancy occurs. to display or print the inconsistency, use one of the following sessions: The EBOM and PBOM Consistency (tiedm1520m000) session. The Print EBOM and PBOM Consistency (tiedm1470m000) session. Finalize Use this option to copy data from a single-level EBOM to a production BOM. ERP Enterprise copies data in the current view. You must do one of the following: Select Yes in the Update Method E-Item Relation field in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session. You can alter that field for a range of items in the Update Engineering Relationship (tiedm3220m000) session. First create a relationship in the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session. If you want to copy a multilevel EBOM, use the Generate EBOM Copy Data (Multilevel) (tiedm1230m000) session followed by the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) session. Copy Engineering Item to Item ERP Enterprise starts the Copy Engineering Item to Item (tiedm1201m000) session. Use Up and Alternative Materials in EBOM Copy Data ERP Enterprise starts the Use Up and Alternative Materials in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm2125m000) session.
