Short text
Enhancements and New Functions in the iPPE Product Structure and Workbench.
Use
- Copying single objects and structures
- You can copy existing nodes, variants, alternatives, and relationships. The copying function can be used for single objects and for complete application structures (product structure, process structure, factory layout). The assignment relationships that link the applications together are also copied.
- The user can decide whether attributes, such as the class assignment, assigned materials, or size data, are to be considered when copying.
- Linking iPPE to Product Cost Controlling and Cost Object Controlling
- iPPE is connected to Product Cost Controlling and Cost Object Controlling. This means that you can use the following cost estimates based on iPPE data:
- Cost estimates without reference to an order (product costing and mixed costing), preliminary costing for product cost collectors
- Sales order cost estimates
- Costing runs can select and cost materials with BOMs, as well as materials that have a product structure in iPPE. You can also plan assembly scrap.
- The iPPE production resource esablishes the link between iPPE and Overhead Cost Controlling.
- You can find more information under:
- Distribution
- iPPE objects from all applications (product structure, process structure, factory layout, line balance, and iPPE resources) can be distributed to other DI systems through ALE (Application Link Enabling) using an all-inclusive BOR (Business Object Repository) object. Using a BOR object and the corresponding message type avoids serialization problems.
- Accessing the iPPE Workbench
- You no longer use a dialog box to call up or search for objects from iPPE or from the PLM environment. Instead, you use the loading area in the iPPE Workbench, which is immediately displayed when you call up the Workbench.
- In addition to the navigation area, there is also the Reports tab page, which contains all the evaluations that exist for the iPPE object. See also: Define Reports for the Report Tree
- Colors
- In material master maintenance, you can enter color specifications for a component with reference to the material master for color-neutral components. When you maintain color variants and use color nodes at component variants in the PVS, the system checks whether material masters exist for the colored materials. The system displays a list showing which colored materials exist and which do not.
- You can maintain color keys from the Workbench via the Environment menu. All color supplement keys and their descriptions can be seen there.
- Engineering Change Management for Relationships
- You can now use change numbers for relationships in the product structure. This means you can manage structures from the product structure historically.
