When opening Window 2, the Multi Position View tab is displayed. Click on the other tabs to change to the Single Bulk Material View, the Single Tag Material View, or the Multi Status View.

This multi position view is customizable. For more information, see BOM Views. The view in use is displayed in the View Name field at the top of the screen. To change the view, select another view from the drop-down list in the View Name field.

If no item is listed in the View Name field, no view was defined on B.10.06. Without a pre-defined view, the following fields are displayed on the Multi Position View tab:

  • Pos

  • Quantity

  • Unit

  • Item Type

  • Size1 to Size 5

  • Commodity Code

  • Ident Code

  • Tag Number

For a description of the fields on the Multi Position View tab, see Single Bulk Material View.

The Order by button can be used to change the default sort order of the displayed positions. By default, the positions are sorted by issue status. Click the button to open the Order by … LOV. Select the first field to be ordered by and click OK (or double-click the item).

The LOV will appear again to allow you to select the next field to be included in the sort order definition. Click Cancel if you don’t want to add more fields. The positions will be sorted according to your sort order definition. The current sort order is shown in the Ordered By field on top of the tab.

The Populate Cart Idents button can be used to select a cart and to populate its data to create new BOM positions. The carts are defined and maintained in the SPRD Explorer; click the SPRD Explorer button to open the SPRD Explorer.

With a right mouse-click in any field of the multi position view, you can open the pop-up menu displayed below.

The commands are described in the following chapters.

Customize View

Select the Customize View command to customize the currently used view. A box will open showing the available attributes on the left and the attributes used in the view on the right.

To add attributes to the view, select them on the left and click the button. To remove attributes from the view, select them on the right and click the button. You can use the button to add all available attributes, or the button to remove all assigned attributes from the view. The attributes are displayed on the right in the order of their use in the view. To change the order, use the or button. Finally, click the Select button to complete the view customization. The message displayed below will appear.

If you click No, the selected fields will be added to the existing BOM view and will be displayed. If you click Yes, a new BOM view will be created with the selected items, and this new view will be set in the View Name field and displayed. The name of this new view will be created with the username and a sequence number, for example ‘USER23’.

In order for a user to allocate attributes to a view, the attributes must be assigned to a pre-defined list view on A.20.06.11 Attribute Security, and this list view is assigned to the user on A.20.06.02 User Securities for Projects or to the user role on A.30.03 Roles/Menus.

You cannot customize a view of type Discipline Specific or of type Project Wide. If you try to change such a view, the message below will occur.

Click OK to create a new view as described above. The view can be further maintained on B.10.06; for more information, see BOM User Views.

Remove Field : <Field Name>

All displayed fields can be removed from the multi position view, except for the Pos, Quantity, Unit and Item Type fields. Removing the Spec Code field will automatically remove the Rev. No, Short Code and Option Code fields as well. If you remove both the Spec Code and Ident Code fields, the Size 1 - Size 5 fields will be removed as well.

Set Column Spacing

With this setting, you can change the distance between fields.

Order By Asc/Desc : <Field Name>

Will sort the data in ascending/descending order of the selected field.

Tile with BOM Tree view

When selecting this item, window 1 will resize and window 2 will move to the right so that both the tree view and the BOM position views are visible. This tiling allows you to display positions of other nodes by double-clicking the node, without closing window 2 in between.

Selecting the item again will resize window 1 to normal size and move window 2 back to its original position.

Auto Filter

The Auto Filter command provides a quick and easy way to filter and work with a subset of data.

When you select this option, dropdown list fields are shown on top of the columns where applicable. These lists contain the fixed values (ALL) and (CUSTOM), and the distinct values displayed in the column. The values (NULL) and (NOT NULL) are shown in case at least one position has a NULL (empty) value.

Selecting a value from the list will filter the displayed positions accordingly.

Selecting (CUSTOM) from the dropdown list opens the Auto Filter[Custom] box where you can enter search criteria to cover a range of values.

Select an operator from the LOV in the first field. These operators are available:

  • Equal

  • Not Equal

  • Like

  • Not Like

  • Greater Than

  • Greater Than or Equal

  • Less Than

  • Less Than or Equal

Enter a search criterion in the next field. This can be combined with a second AND/OR criterion entered in the second row. Click OK to apply the filter.

Selecting the Auto Filter item again will hide the dropdown list fields.

Populate Downwards

Select Populate Downwards from the menu to copy the value of the selected field to the fields/records below. The Populate Downwards functionality is available for the fields listed below.

  • Quantity

  • Quantity Unit

  • Spec Code

  • Short Code

  • Option Code

  • Size1 - 5

  • Ident Code

  • Object Code

  • Status

  • List Status

  • Req

  • Reload

  • all position attributes

Populate Downwards is not applicable when:

  • the position does not belong to the login discipline

  • the corresponding node is locked/released

  • the tag number is filled and the item type is TWM, TOM, TFM, or TAB with the exception of

    • the position attributes

    • the Status, List Status, Req, Quantity, and Quantity Unit fields if the ZB_TAG_UPD project default is set to Y.

When calling Populate Downwards from the Spec Code, Short Code, or Option Code fields, this box is shown:

The first option is displayed as ‘Copy Short Code only’ or ‘Copy Option Code only’ correspondingly.

  • If the spec code, short code, option code, or sizes are changed, all the ident-related data like group, part, commodity code, and ident code are cleared unless the ident consistency check is done, resulting in the ident being consistent.

  • If the spec revision number to be populated is less than the maximum spec revision number, the alert message ‘Do you want to update Spec Revision Number with Highest Value?’ pops up. Click Yes to copy the highest revision or highest issued revision, respectively, depending on the setting of the ZX_ALLSPEC project default. Click No to stop the process.

When calling Populate Downwards from Size 1 - 5, the size field is updated and all ident-related data like group, part, commodity code, and ident code. The fields are updated based on the selected spec code, short code, option code, and sizes. If no ident is found for the size, the ident-related data fields as mentioned above are cleared.

Add/Edit Sub Pos Nodes

Select this command to list or create sub position(s). The sub position records are displayed in the main block. In the Parent Position Tree field at the bottom, a node is added, displaying the information about level (like Level1, Level2, and so forth), positions path (like /20/30), and position values (like Pos: (20), spec code: (AC0014), and so forth).

Back to Parent

Select this command to reach the preceding level. The navigation works level by level. Back to Parent is only available on sub positions. This button is disabled on the first level.

List Download

This command is described in List Download in the WBS Tree View section.

Attach Documents

This command is described in Attach Documents in the WBS Tree View section.

Auto Column Width

This command automatically calculates the display length/width of each column depending on the data so that the user can automatically optimize the amount of visual data.

Auto Column Width functionality does nothing when invoked from a column of type Checkbox or List. Also, if the column from which this functionality is invoked has all NULL values, then this functionality does nothing.

Retrieve from PLL

This command allows the retrieval of Spec Code and Size 1 from the PLL (Process Line List) defined on L.20.01 to the BOM. Choosing this command opens an LOV, displaying Spec Code and Nominal Diameter values from the line lists.

Prerequisites

  • It is mandatory that the ZB_LS_LINE and ZB_LS_UNIT project defaults are correctly defined. If the project defaults are not set properly, the following message will appear: ‘MAR-20367: Cannot retrieve data from the line lists.’

  • The selected node, where the positions are to be created using the data from the line list, must have exactly one parent node with these properties:

    • Same list structure as the one assigned to ZB_LS_UNIT

    • The node must be defined on L.20.01 Process Line Lists with the same name in the PLL Units block.

  • If no such match is found, the following message will appear: ‘MAR-20364: Cannot retrieve data from the line lists.’. If more than one match is found, the following message will appear: ‘MAR-20363: Cannot retrieve data from the line lists.’

  • The selected node, where the positions are to be created using the data from the line list, must have exactly one parent node with these properties:

    • Same list structure as the one assigned to ZB_LS_LINE

    • The node must be defined on L.20.01 Process Line Lists with the same name in the Process Lines block.

      Instead of the parent node, the selected node itself can have these properties.

      If no such match is found, the following message will appear: ‘MAR-20366: Cannot retrieve data from the line lists.’. If more than one match is found, the following message will appear: ‘MAR-20365: Cannot retrieve data from the line lists.’

When selecting the Retrieve from PLL command on a new position, the LOV displayed in the picture below will appear, with the spec codes and sizes listed that were defined for the selected line on L.20.01.

Select a spec code with size and click OK to close the LOV and fill in the selected values in the Spec Code and Size 1 fields of the new position.

If no spec codes and/or nominal diameters are assigned to the selected line, the following message will appear: ‘MAR-20368: Line <line name> under unit <unit name> does not have any spec or diameter associated.’

The Retrieve from PLL command will not be available if the node is locked/released or is not assigned to the login discipline.
