Enter Product Functions

Explanation

Use this activity to assign engineering type functions to product models. This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

Before you can connect any functions to a product model, the functions must be defined. 

Engineering functions are the real building blocks of a product and can consist of other engineering functions or engineering parts. They allow you to organize a product structure so that it may be used in multiple disciplines. Product functions allow you to construct a product without entering all of the product's properties. A function may initially be used for maintaining information about parts categories and values. Although functions can be used without any attached parts, they will not be buildable. 

After registering a product model, you can connect its functions and then create a function structure. A function may only be deleted if no components have been attached.
