When a configuration change is requested to be done on a customer order line and the change needs to be evaluated before a real change is done, it is possible to create a configuration change request in simulation mode using the Create Simulation command.
When a simulation configuration change request is created, the mode of the configuration assistant is changed from the mode Edit Configuration to instead be in Simulation mode. If the status of the Simulation configuration change request is Planned, configuration changes can be applied, and the saved configuration changes will be included when the simulation configuration change request later is Released.
This simulation change request does not affect any ongoing production orders or customer orders, as DOP alarms are not triggered, and configuration IDs remain unchanged on the customer order line.
A simulation configuration change request will be created.
