Update Product Family and Product Code

Explanation

Use this activity to update product family and product code. You can do this for a specific site or for all sites to which you have access.

Note: Since all inventory parts are updated, this calculation should not be run during regular working hours. It can take a long time if many parts are involved.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that the product family and product code must be defined and entered for specific level 0 parts.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• The system updates the product family and the product code for part structures on a site or sites.
