You can generate specification items using the following methods:
-
Standard
-
CIP (Customer-Installed Procedure)
-
Standard and CIP
You specify the Generate option for each component group in the Spec Template Item grid. For more information, see Edit specification template items.
Standard method
If you choose Standard, the software generates the spec items in the default manner. The Standard method is described in Components.
CIP method
If you choose CIP, the software generates the items according to the custom package M_PCK_SPEC_CUSTOM. An administrator must enter code in this package in order to customize it.
After the generation of items by CIP, the software validates the items to see if there are any constraint violations.
Standard and CIP method
If you choose Standard and CIP, the software first generates the spec items according to the Standard method. Then, you must save the items. When all of these items have been saved, the CIP will run. The end result is the Standard and CIP items.
