| Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) |  |
| Use this session to define which E-items are either included or excluded when performing an MBC action. If items are included, MBC actions have an effect on the items. If the items are excluded, MBC actions have no effect on the items. Whether the items listed in this session are excluded items or included items depends on the Include/Exclude E-Items field in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) details session or the MBC Action (tiedm3120m000) details session. If the value of the Include/Exclude E-Items field is Include, the items in this session are included. If the value of the field is Exclude, the items in this session are excluded. Whether the E-items for an order have been set to be included or excluded is displayed in the Include/Exclude E-Items field in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session. In the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session you must define whether the list of included/excluded E-items in this session is valid for every MBC action seperately, or for the MBC as a whole: If the Include/Exclude E-Items per Action check box in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) details session is selected, you specify for every action seperately which items are effected by the action. To do so, select the appropriate action in the MBC Action (tiedm3120m000) session, and start the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session from the appropriate menu. Now you can define the items that are affected by the action. You must use the Include/Exclude E-Items field in the MBC Action (tiedm3120m000) details session to determine whether the action includes or excludes the E-item. If the Include/Exclude E-Items per Action check box in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session is cleared, you specify a set of items for which all actions linked to the MBC are valid. To do so, select the appropriate MBC in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session, and start the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session from the appropriate menu. Now you can define the items that are affected by the actions linked to the MBC. All actions that you define for the MBC apply to that set of items. You must use the Include/Exclude E-Items field in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session to determine whether e-items must be included or excluded. Note Whether an E-item is included or excluded also depends on the All Actions Must Apply to Item check box in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session. Example In the MBC Action (tiedm3120m000) session you state that ERP LN must replace the component Red-Wheel with the component Blue-Wheel. You can use the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session to ensure that not all the Red-Wheels are replaced, but only those that are components of the E-item Blue-Bicycle. Run the Print Where-Used Components (tiedm1450m000) session to find out in which E-items the Red-Wheel is used. Enter the parent E-item (Blue-Bicycle) that you want to include in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session. Set the Include/Exclude E-Items check box in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session to Include. When you finalize the MBC, ERP LN replaces all the Red-Wheels with Blue-Wheels, but only in the Blue-Bicycle. If you want to replace Red-Wheels in many parent items: Select Exclude in the Include/Exclude E-Items field in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session. Enter the parent items that you do not want to include for changing in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session. Tip If you are not sure of the effects of the options you have chosen, you can simulate the effect of the MBC in the MBC (tiedm3110m000) session.
