Remove Structure Position

Explanation

This activity is used to remove an existing structure position from a template structure. A structure position can be removed from a template structure as a result of an embodied modification or an internal requirement, which is aimed at better controlling the template structure by further detailing the configuration. 

In the Remove Structure Position dialog box, you can select whether you want to set the structure position to obsolete. You can only remove a structure position if the structure position is not used by any serial structure.

With the Access Control feature, the following will occur to the access of the part used in the structure that is to be removed in the template structure, 

• If the part only exists in one structure position, the parts access rights will be removed when the structure position is removed.
• If the part exists in more than one structure position in the template, access rights will not be updated when the structure position is removed.
• If the part only exists as an alternate in the structure, access rights are removed when the structure position is removed.
• If the parts serial number is removed before the structure position is removed, the serial will keep the current access rights until it is installed in a structure.

Prerequisites

• A template structure with the Active status must exist.
• For the structure position to be removed all serials and parts based on the template structure must first be removed.

System Effects

• The structure position is removed from the template structure and can no longer be used in serial structures.
• Empty structure positions that correspond with the removed position will be removed automatically from all serial structures using the template from which the position was removed. Empty structure positions refer to the structure positions where expected serials or parts are missing from the serial structure.
• Access groups for the parts will be updated.
• Access groups for existing serials will be updated.
