Entering Effectivity Parameters

Use

You can use change master records that have parameters for effectivity (such as a range of serial numbers) to process bills of material.

You can enter values for effectivity parameters (for example, serial number range) in the following reporting functions:

BOM explosion level by level

Displaying a Multi-Level BOM Explosion

Summarized BOM

BOM Comparison

Prerequisites

In the material master record of the BOM header material (Basic data view), the effectivity assignment indicator is set.

Procedure

From the bills of material menu, choose a reporting function (for example, Reporting → Explode BOM → Material BOM → Level by level.
Enter the data that identifies the BOM on the initial screen.
Choose Proceed.

The dialog box Effectivity parameter assignment is displayed.

Enter the following values for the explosion:

Parameters

You can enter both the standard system parameters for effectivity types time period and serial number range, and any company-specific parameters for effectivity.

This procedure ensures that you can explode the BOM with the parameters you require right down to the bottom level, even if you have used change numbers with different effectivity types to change BOMs.

Indicators for release status

These indicators are only read for change master records that have a release key with the corresponding indicator.

By selecting the release key indicator, you define the release status that the BOM must have in order to be displayed. For example, you display the change state or version that is released for planning and production.
