Create Engineering Part
Explanation
Use this activity to create a new engineering part. When you create a new
engineering part, the system automatically inserts it into the part catalog.
You can create a revision at the same time by specifying the revision in the
first revision column. If the engineering part you create already exists in
the part catalog (i.e., the part is registered as an inventory part), you must
ensure that the unit code and standard name ID are identical to the information
in the part catalog.
Prerequisites
- Standard names must exist on the Part Basic
Data/Part Standard Names page.
- If you automatically want a default value for the first revision, the
default value for the Entry Code field on the
PDM/Basic Data/Defaults page must have been registered as PART_REV.
- If you want to categorize the engineering parts using part classes,
the part class must exist on the
PDM/Basic
Data/Part Classes page.
- If you want to categorize the engineering part using the part main groups,
the main group must exist on the Part Basic Data/Part
Main Group page.
- If you set the value in Provide Code column to Phantom, the relevant
MPL Part field must have the value No Demand.
- If planing method is set as a Std. Planned Part , the relevant
MPL Part field must have the value Demand.
System Effects
- An engineering part will be created.
- The first revision of the engineering part will be created if desired.
- Characteristics, manufacturers, and alternative parts can be registered
for the engineering parts.
- If a revision exists with a structure, characteristics rollup calculations
for a specified attribute can be run.
- When a new revision is created for an existing part and if planing method
is set to Standard Planned in the
Create New Engineering
Part step in the Create New Part
assistant , it will be automatically copied to the
Product Structure
page.
