Create Standard Part from Configuration

Explanation

This activity is used to create standard parts for an already known configuration. When the same configuration has been used a lot of times it can be a good idea to create a standard part for it.
In that way it is possible to first try out a part by using configuration and then later switch to standard product.

Prerequisites

• IFS/Configuration Back Office and IFS/Configuration Characteristic must be installed. 
• A configuration must exist in Configuration Specification.
• A configuration structure revision with an alternate in status Buildable must exist.
• The part type of the top part of the selected configuration must be Manufactured or Remanufactured.
• When multi-site planned configured parts are used they must first be created as standard part in the supply site.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, you will get a faster order line registration by using standard part instead of configuration.
The new standard part can be used to produce to stock.

If the configured top part is manufactured, the part type of the standard part will be set to Manufactured and the structure and routing type will be set to Manufacturing. If the configured top part is remanufactured, the part type of the standard part will be set to Remanufactured and the structure and routing type will be set to Remanufacturing.
