Use

In this activity, you can define additional iPPE node types. You define the characteristics that a certain iPPE node type is to have and the name of iPPE nodes of this type.

Requirements

Standard settings

The standard system includes the superset of possible iPPE node types. You cannot change the attributes of the standard node types. You use the standard node types to represent master data in all the iPPE applications (product variant structure, process structure, and factory layout). The standard iPPE node types are:

Product structure

Product variant structure     Focus

Access node     Focus access

View node     Focus view (PVS)

Structure node     Focus structure node

Color scheme     Focus color scheme

Assembly     Focus assembly

Assembly group     Focus assembly group

VA component node     Focus VA item

Factory layout

Line network

Line

Group of alternative lines

Line area

Line segment

Buffer

Work area

Intermediate buffer

Process Structure

Process Structure (Line)     Process Structure (Shop Floor)

Routing (Line)     Routing header

Subrouting (Line)     Grouping activity

Operation (Line)     Operation

Activity (Line)     Activity

Other node types

Concept group

Combination

Engineering node

When you create a new node type, you must use one of the SAP standard nodes as a template. However, you cannot create new node types that would change the attributes of existing node types.

The namespace S is reserved for the standard iPPE node types. This means you cannot create node types with technical names that begin with the letter S.

Recommendation

Use the standard iPPE node types.

Activities

To create a new iPPE node type:

  1. Choose Customizing for Production -> Basic Data -> Integrated Product and Process Engineering -> Administration for iPPE Objects -> Define iPPE Node Types -> Define iPPE Node Types.

    The screen Change View "iPPE Node Types": Overview appears.

  2. Choose New entries.

    The screen New Entries: Details of Added Entries appears.

  3. In the Node Type field, enter the technical name for the new node type.
  4. In the Reference Node Type field, enter the node type whose attributes you wish to copy to the new node type, and choose Enter.

    The attributes of the reference node type are displayed for the new node type. The fields you can change are ready for input.

  5. Enter data as required and save your entries.

Further notes

If nodes of an iPPE node type have been created in the system, you cannot delete the iPPE node type. If the node is used in iPPE, you cannot change the attributes.

For structure nodes from the PVS, it is possible that relationships point from this node type directly to lower-level structure nodes, or from alternatives of the structure node to lower-level structure nodes. You can make settings for both possibilities in Customizing. However, if you create an alternative for an exisiting structure node, which already has relationships to lower-level structure nodes, the system automatically reassigns all such relationships to the alternative.
