Creating Configuration Structure - Exercises
| IMPORTANT |
If you are a student, 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.

Note: When you work with the CTO flow, this is one of the steps
that is required before you can enter configuration rules. The rules will be attached to
the configuration structure. Configuration rules use part configuration revisions
and configuration formulas.
Creating a Configuration Structure
- Open the
Configuration Structure window.
- Query for part number 11 on your site. Create a new structure with the components
listed in the table below.

- Promote the configuration structure to Buildable status.
- Open the Part Costs window.
- Query for part 11.
- Select cost set 2. Right-click, point to Cost Calculation, and then
click Calculate Part Cost-All Levels. When the
All Levels Part Cost Calculation window displays, click OK.
- The Total Accum Cost field is updated.
- Change the component usage factor for some components (do not change component
14, however).
- Repeat steps 4-6 and look at the result in Total Accum Cost field
for cost set 2.
- (Optional) You can also see the results in IFS/MRP. To do this, first open
the Plan MS Level 1 window and create a forecast for 1,000
pieces
of part 11. Calculate the level 1 master schedule in the
MS
Level 1 Calculation window. Next, open the
Perform
Site MRP window and
perform MRP. To analyze the demands for the various part 11 components, open
the MRP
View
Material Plan window and study the results.
- The configuration structure is now ready for use. However, because no rules are
attached to the structure, all components are included in the shop order
no matter which options the customer selects. To add rules, see the Creating Configuration Condition and Creating Configuration
Action exercises.
