      <Paragraph>You can set up a <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#000310" role="glossary">physical breakdown</Link> to manage product configurations
		(breakdown structures) during service and maintenance activities. 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 service-order activities, 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="formfield">Configuration Status Usage</Link> check box is selected, a
		physical breakdown becomes active when the top-serialized item is set to
		Active. This event, as well as subsequent changes to an item's physical
		breakdown, are automatically logged.</Paragraph>
