-
On the A.50.01 Attributes screen, create a new attribute with the exact name BRANCH_OPERATION as displayed in the following picture.
-
Click the Next Block button to open Window 2.
-
Define allowed values for the attribute as displayed in the following picture.
These valid values are used to provide a LOV when you enter an attribute value. The valid values are also used to validate the entered attribute values.
-
Attach the new attribute to the physical table M_PARTS on the A.50.03 Tables/Attributes screen.
In this example, the BRANCH_OPERATION attribute is assigned to the ATTR_CHAR9 physical attribute (database column).
-
On the S.10.03 Commodity Part screen, enter a value for the parts that have a branch operation like SetOn, Tap, ReinforcedSetOn, or PulledSetOn.
For parts without a branch operation (None), you do not need to assign an attribute value to the part. None is the default value.
-
Define a dummy part that represents the branch operation.
Because it is non-physical material, do not create idents for this part. In the example
above, the OPER-… parts are created for the non-physical material, with the attribute
values SetOn, Tap, ReinforcedSetOn, and PulledSetOn assigned.
-
Use these dummy parts in the branch table. Open the S.40.05 Branches screen, select the branch table you want to edit, and click the Next Block button to open Window 2 where the branches are maintained.
-
Assign the dummy parts where applicable, using the LOV in the Part box.
