Substitute Attributes and Status
About this task
(Available with Order Execution Mgt.)
Description
Substitute Attributes and Status exchanges all attributes and status bits of the current product item, including its sales order association (its ASSOCIATE extended attribute value), with the attributes and status bits of a product item in a specified region/location.
Example
A PRT model is set up to track a BODY Item Type assembly.
- The BODY Item Type has an extended attribute ASSOCIATE.
- The ASSOCIATE extended attribute value is, literally, the value of another Item Type, ORDER.
- ORDER may be defined in the same, or another model.
ASSOCIATE attribute values are as follows.
ASSOCIATE attribute of the: | Is the Value Assigned to the: |
Currently selected body item | ORDER item's attribute in the specified region\location. |
ORDER item in the specified region\location | Currently selected body. |
All other attributes and status bits are similarly swapped between the currently selected body and the body at the specified region location.
While the example above shows substitution of orders for different bodies, it is also possible to substitute bodies for different orders. You can only substitute the Item Type that is associated with the Item Type you have currently selected.
- Both sales orders and products are items.
- You can use this function block if:
- Product items exist at some region defined in the current project's RCO database and
- Order items exist in either the current project or another running project to which you have access.
- You can search for the specified region across multiple projects. Enter a comma-delimited list of project names where the region may be found into the Project ID field and recompile.
- Where all item eliminations (by any and all methods) have been completed.
