Enter Product Model Functions

Explanation

When you have registered a product model, you can enter its functions and then create a function structure. Engineering functions are the real building blocks of a product and can consist of other engineering functions or engineering parts. You can use only functions that are defined in Product Basic Data/Functions.

Prerequisites

• The product model must exist.
• The functions must exist in Product Basic Data/Functions.

System Effects

• Functions are connected to the model.
• Part revisions can be connected to the functions on any level in the function structure.
• Documents can be connected to the functions on any level in the function structure.
• If the Include in Execution Logic Planning check box is selected, the function will be included in the generation of execution logic structure templates in IFS/Vehicle Information Management.

Procedure

1. Select the model in Products and Models and select Product Model Info from the right mouse button or
2. Select the model in Product Functions and select Function Structure Navigator from the right mouse button or
3. Select the model directly in Function Structure Navigator.
4. In the Functions tab, create a new record.
5. Either enter the function name of an existing function or select one from the List Of Values.
6. Enter a note, either now or later.
7. Select the Include in Execution Logic Planning check box if this function is to be considered when generating an execution logic structure template.
8. Save the function.
9. Enter several functions by repeating steps 4 through 8.

Depending on the location in the structure, functions can be entered directly below the root node or directly below a function anywhere in the structure. At any time, the graphical structure can be used to move functions around in the structure.
