Copying Revisions—Exercises

IMPORTANT
It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site.

Required Data

Creating Product Structure

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show you how to set up the part revisions and product structures on your site for running functionality using racing engine data.

Windows:
Product Structure

Note: If you already have the product structures for the racing engine parts in your site, use your existing structures. 

  1. Create a structure for Part 20–250 using the information shown in the table below.
Level Component Part No. Part Description Qty per Assembly
1 20–350 Fuel Tank 1
1 20–351 Carburetor  1
1 20–352 Fuel Pump 1

General exercise for Creating Product Structure

Creating Routing

Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show you how to set up the basic data required for running this particular functionality.

Windows:
Routing

Note: If you already have the racing engine parts in your site, use your existing routing. These parts all have part numbers with the format 20–nnn.

  1. Create a routing for Part 20–250 as shown in the table below.
Operation No. Description Work Center Machine Set up time Machine Run Factor Factor Unit
10 Assemble Part 300 1 0.4 Hours/unit

Copying Revisions

  1. Open the Product Structure window, and query for Part 20–250.
  2. Right-click and then click Copy Structure Revision.
  3. Enter Destination Revision 2 (the default is the source revision number plus one). 
  4. Enter a phase-in date equal to today's date plus 15 days.
  5. Enter the Manufacturing structure type.
  6. Click OK. The new revision is displayed in the Product Structure window.
  7. Open the Inventory Part Revision window, and analyze the new part revision created (this does not apply to routing revisions). You have now copied a revision, which means that the components connected to the structure are also copied to the new revision number. For the routing, it applies to operations.

Note: The same procedure applies to recipe structures, plan structures, configuration structures, and routings.
