Hi,
any suggestion (possible impacts, usual scenarios or available documentation) on how to use the "Copy Variants" field in PDS001/C ( reference API PDS001MICopy - field CPPV)?
Thanks in advance,
Ilaria
Are you copying a Family Item?
"Product Variants with Item Number
The purpose of this process is to create product variants with unique item numbers. These variants are created using a family item whose product structure contains all product structures of the product variants.
When a new combination of materials is entered in the family item’s bill of material, a new product variant is created which is automatically entered in the item file as an item with a unique item number.
One reason for creating product variants with item numbers is when commonly reoccurring items are needed. Another reason is if one wishes to place all product variants in a common product structure and still be able to save price or balance information for each unique variant."
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I was trying to understand how the parameter works when we try to copy a family item
Basically, in terms of PDS001 and PDS060 impacts, I understood that when flagged in PDS001/C it could copy the family item (same product numb from and to) and the related variants to a a new facility or a new structure type but I would like to have some info on further impacts or possible best practices/procedures for copying family items.
