If you want to copy or move a WBS node, select this command from the menu. The B.20.03.08 Cut/Copy Nodes screen appears.
In the Cut/Copy section, select Cut if you want to cut (move) the selected node or Copy if you want to copy the selected node. Next, select what should be moved or copied: only Structure (only the node structure), only Positions (only the BOM positions of the selected node, or with Structure and Positions (both node structure and BOM positions).
If the project default ZB_NODE_UK is set to Y, the node names for a node type must
be unique within the project.
In the From Project/Product Group section, select same Project/Product Group to copy/move the node/positions within the current project/product group. If you select other Project or other Product Group, you must select the destination project/product group from the LOV in the Project/Product Group field.
In the Map Nodes section, you select the node to be copied/moved from the LOV in the Source Node Path field. Or, you can click the Browse button to open the BOM multi selection LOV.
Select the Sel check box of all nodes to be copied/moved, and then click the Fill In button to close the LOV and to insert the selected nodes in the Source Node Path field. You can use the Select All button to mark all displayed nodes. To cancel the selection, you can use the Unselect All button.
Next, click in the Destination Node Path field and open the LOV using the LOV button or the Browse button. Select the destination node(s) as described above.
In the Source and Destination sections, you can define copy settings. With from Position and to Position, you can limit the positions of the selected node to be copied; by default it is set to 0 and 9999999999. These options as well as List Status from and List Status to are only available when you have selected only Positions in the Cut/Copy section. The list status can be selected from the LOV in the List Status from and List Status to fields to copy/move positions to another list status. Select the Best Qty check box or an issue status from the LOV in the Issue Status from field. Select Only Position Attributes from the Attribute Option radio group to copy/move the position attributes only. Or, select All Attributes to also copy/move the node attributes. Select the keep Item Number check box to copy the positions with its original position number. If the check box is cleared, new position numbers will be created. If you select the with Assemblies check box, assembly structures will also be copied with the positions.
In the Destination section, if you select Manual in the Type field, you must select an issue status for the destination from the LOV in the Issue Status to field. This issue status will be set for all copied positions at the destination node.
If you select Automatic from the dropdown list in the Type field, the positions will be copied from the source node to the destination node, and for each destination node the issue status will be set for all copied positions as follows.
-
Existing positions at the destination node: Based on the highest issue status of the existing positions, the issue status of the copied positions will be set to the next available issue status.
If the maximum available issue status is already assigned to existing positions, the procedure automatically creates a new issue status and assigns the copied positions to this new issue status. The name for the new issue status is "AUTO" concatenated with the next available sequence number, for example, AUTO51.
-
No positions exist at the destination node: The issue status of the copied positions will be set to the lowest available issue status.
Save and click the OK button to start the copy/move procedure. You can click the Cancel button to close the screen without copying/moving anything.
When the copy/move procedure succeeds, this message will appear.
If the project default ZB_BOMHIER is set to N, only a fixed node type hierarchy is
allowed in the project. For more information, see Node Type Hierarchy. In case of a fixed node type hierarchy, nodes can only be copied/moved to a new
parent node with the same node type as the original parent node.
