Description

A conditional BOM item of a bill of material contains a conditional list of individual BOM items, the so-called variants. This provides a tool for defining different parts in a BOM item, e.g. due to different characteristics of the part to be produced. Different quantity specifications can also be stored in an individual bill of material item as a table.

In the course of a bill of material explosion, the item whose condition is fulfilled first is inserted into the production bill of material.

Attention: See also special features of conditional tables

Fields

Field	Description
Position data
Position	Number of the parts list item. The formatting can be defined by the counter CX_BILL_OF_MATERIAL_ITEM. It is also possible to set a counter using this counter. By default, there is no counter and the formatting is preset with "000" "000".
: from index	Index of the parts list item
: Designation	Short description of the parts list item
Notes	Notes or comments on the parts list item
: Position prescribed	The conditional table must return a valid entry when exploding the parts list. Unknown variables are queried interactively.
Abort if nothing found	If none of the conditions in the list of variant BOM items apply, an error message is issued. Setting this selection automatically also sets the field "Item required". Unknown variables are interactively queried.
: Ignore non-calculable condition	If none of the conditions in the list of variant BOM items apply, the BOM item is skipped. Unknown variables are interactively queried.
: Variants	Conditional list of individual parts list items Double click: Edit variant Right mouse button: Edit attributes and additional condition For all additional conditions the field "Additional condition" can be used. (Further information can be found in the calculation formula documentation ).
: Features	Additional features to define the part of the bill of material item or upstream production stages
Documents
: Structure tree	Using the structure tree on the left side, subfolders or subnodes( ) can be generated. Associations (document references, parts, partial roles, partner functions, etc.) can be moved within the structure by drag & drop and thus structured. In addition, you can navigate through the structure tree to display the associations of the folder in the right-hand list. (Currently, only document references can be structured).
: List	The list of document references is on the right-hand side. The local document references are marked with the box symbol ( ) and the global ones with the document reference icon ( ) are shown. In addition, global document references can also be inserted as conditional tables. Of the associated documents, the description of the document reference is displayed next to the type. This can be either the short title in the operating language or the description text. The type and the file name are also displayed. link: Description of the buttons for maintaining the assignments to the document references
Description of structure node	For the folder (structure nodes) defined in the structure tree, a different description can be entered here and saved using the save button to the right of the field.

Buttons

Position data
: Variants	-
: : Insert	Create new parts list entry
: : Duplicate	Duplicate the selected entry: Except the assigned part itself, all values of the entry are taken over
: : Remove	Remove selected entry
: Features	-
: : Create	Create new characteristic
: : Insert	Insert new feature
: : Remove	Remove current feature
Documents
Open	Opens the document of the selected document reference in the preview. Depending on the file type, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Word or, for example, Internet Explorer is started.
Insert	When inserting, you can choose between local document references and global document references. Context menu Global document reference Select Using the selection mask of the document references, an existing global document reference can be selected from the master data and associated with the object. : Create A new global document reference is created and directly associated with the object. Conditional table An existing global document reference can be selected via the selection mask of the document references. This document reference is then the first entry of a conditional table, which is associated with the object. Local document reference File (storage in database) A file can be selected, which is created as a local document reference and associated with the object. The file is imported and saved in the database. : Email - Outlook import (storage in database) The e-mail marked in Outlook is created as a local document reference and associated with the object. The email is imported and saved in the database. : Email attachment - Outlook import (storage in database) The attachment of the e-mail marked in Outlook is created as a local document reference and associated with the object. The attachment is imported and saved in the database. : File (reference) A file can be selected. The path to this file is stored in the local document reference. The document is therefore not saved in the database, but the document reference refers to the original document. : Email - Outlook Import (storage in directory) When this function is called, the e-mail marked in Outlook is saved in a directory (server directory). The file name and directory are defined by the user by means of a query. A local document reference is then automatically generated which refers to the saved email. : Email attachment - Outlook Import (storage in directory) When this function is called, the file attachment of the e-mail marked in Outlook is saved in a directory (server directory). The file name and directory are defined by the user by means of a query, and the file name is preset based on the attachment. A local document reference is then automatically generated which refers to the saved file. If the marked email has several attachments, one of the attachments must be selected by a user query.
Edit	The document reference can be edited in its editing mask.
Remove	If a global document reference is selected, the link between the document reference and the part is broken. Local document references are deleted.
Status bar
OK	Changes to the conditional parts list item are saved. If no changes have been made, the button is locked
New	The input window is cleared
Delete	The displayed, conditional parts list item is deleted
Close	The window is closed without saving changes. If you want to save the changes, press the "OK" button
