Update Structure Component from Actuals
Explanation
Use this activity to update structure attributes for components or
produce parts using the Update Structure Components from Actuals assistant
or Update Structure Produced Parts from Actuals
assistant.
To access the update assistants, select one or more lines on the Structure Component Actuals Snapshot/Components page
or the Structure Component Actuals Snapshot/Produced Parts page,
and click Update Structures.
When updating, two options are available for selecting the revision to
update:
- Calculated Revision: The revision to which the
calculation was performed.
- Latest Revision: The latest structure
revision, this can be a different revision than the calculated one that
is valid today or one planned to be used in the future.
Use the toggles in the Attributes to Update section to
select the attributes that should be updated. For each selected attribute,
choose one of the following update methods:
- Set New Values from Actuals: Update attribute value
in the structure lines to the calculated actual value.
- Set New Fixed Value: Set a new fixed value for the
attribute in the structure lines.
- Update with Percentage: Add a percentage increment
to the current attribute value in the structure lines.
Note:
- If the Structure/Routing Update setting on the
Site/Manufacturing page is set as Restricted, the update function will not perform
for the structure revision alternates that are in Buildable status.
Also, the Obsoleted structure revision alternates will not be updated.
If the combination of Parent Part and Alternate No does
not exist for the selected revision to be updated, then the update will
not be performed.
- For non-configurable parts, the structure usage factor, actual usage
factor, and usage factor difference are not displayed or calculated in
the snapshot, as the usage factor does not apply to these parts.
Therefore, it is not possible to update the usage factor for these.
- When updating using the assistant, the same restrictions apply to
all attributes as when updating them on respective structure page. This
means, if restrictions are not met, no update will be performed for
those attributes.
Prerequisites
- At least one record should exist on the Structure Component Actuals
Snapshot page.
