On the B.10.04 Position Attributes screen, you can define variable BOM position attributes for use on the B.20.01 Edit BOM and B.20.03 Adv. Maintain BOM screens. These attributes are used to add additional information to BOM positions, that is, information not supplied by the ident description.

The position attribute definition is stored by discipline.

All attributes defined on the A.50.01 Attributes screen can be assigned. An attribute can only be assigned once to a discipline.

When you assign new attributes, select the appropriate discipline in the first (Discipline) block. Then move to the second (Assigned Attributes) block, and enter a sequence number in the Order Seq field.

In the Name field, you can use the LOV function to select the attribute, and the Description and Unit Code fields are automatically filled from A.50.01.

With the Mandatory indicator, you can define an attribute as obligatory, meaning the attribute values must be filled when entering BOM positions on B.20.01/B.20.03; otherwise, a warning message appears, prompting the user to enter the value.

The warning message appears only when the mandatory attribute is visible in the current view.

If you enter a value in the Target Node field, the attribute is only added to positions of that node. When Include Sub Nodes is checked, the attribute is also added to the sub nodes of the selected target node.

The third (Assign Attributes - Group Dependent) and fourth (Assign Attributes - Part Dependent) blocks can be used to define group or part specific attributes. These position attributes are only added for matching groups or parts. The handling in these blocks is the same as in the second block.

  • The attribute definitions should be set up here before Bills of Materials are created in the project. But, you can also add attributes here when BOMs are already present. The new attributes are then automatically copied to the relevant BOM tables for those positions belonging to the selected discipline.

  • For adding attributes when BOMs are present, the insertion may take some time to complete. Furthermore, if you have large amounts of BOM data, this operation may also require a large amount of rollback space because of the data size of this transaction. Therefore, it is possible to set up the RBS_PROP parameter on the A.60.04 screen to assign this kind of transaction to a specific rollback segment. This rollback segment must exist in the database, and, of course, must also be placed online by the DBA; otherwise, an Oracle server error message occurs.
