Production Tracking permits Item associations to be formed:
Automatically in a Combine Items
Tracking Region
Automatic Item associations occur in Combine Items Tracking Regions where configuration data specifies the Item types that will participate in an Item association and the role each Item will play in the relationship. Each time an Item enters a Combine Items Tracking Region, where automatic Item associations occur, the Item type is checked to determine if this Item participates in an Item association. An automatic Item association takes place when each of the Items in the association have arrived in the Combine Items Tracking Region.
By request through a manual
transaction or an application interface message.
Between two Item types, if your
CIMPLICITY package includes extended attributes,when an item of its
associated type is processed by CimBasic extensions or by certain
RCO function blocks, e.g. Substitute Order. This type of
association is created by adding an extended attribute, ASSOCIATE , to one of the Item types in the association. The value
of this extended attribute is the Item type (Item Type ID) of
the associated item.
Note: A complementary ASSOCIATE extended attribute is automatically added to the associated Item type that refers to the first Item type.
