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.
System Effects
