Documentation
Definition
Conversion mode specifies the type of conversion to be triggered. It also controls the explosion results of a Bill of Document. You can maintain the following types for conversion:
- Single File: You use this conversion mode for single part file conversion. There is no document structure associated with the input document that you want to convert.
- Actual: You use this conversion mode for assembly conversion. The document that you want to convert has a document structure. Conversion is triggered for the document structure that is attached to the input document.
- Latest Released: You use this conversion mode for assembly conversion. The document that you want to convert has a document structure. Conversion is triggered for the document structure that is attached to the input document. All the child documents will be replaced by their latest released version correspondingly.
- Single File Template: You use this conversion mode to convert rh file format into PDF file format.
- File with Dependency: You use this conversion mode to convert CAD files having other dependent files that are required for conversion. For example, if you want to convert CAD drawing files having other dependent assembly files that are required for conversion.
- Latest in Structure: You use this conversion mode for assembly conversion. The document that you want to convert has a document structure. Conversion is triggered for the document structure that is attached to the input document. If there is a document that is repeated across several sub-assemblies in the document structure, then all the instances of such a document will be replaced by the highest version in document structure of this document
- Latest Version: You use this conversion mode for assembly conversion. The document that you want to convert has a document structure. Conversion is triggered for the document structure that is attached to the input document. All the child documents will be replaced by their latest version in the system correspondingly.
- User Defined: By implementing BADI CDESK_SRV_DIR_STR of Enhancement Spot PLM_CDESK_SRV, you can control the behavior of explosion of Bill of Documents.

Example
Legend: <document> (<version>) <r>/<nr>
D1 (0) r: D1 represents the document D1, 0 represents its version, and r represents it is released
D3 (2) nr: D3 represents the document D3, 2 represents its version, and nr represents it is not released
The system has the following set of document structures:
D1(0)r
|
|__D2(0)r
| |
| |__D3(0)r
| |__D4(0)r
| |__D5(0)r
|
|__D6(0)r
| |__D3(0)r
| |__D7(0)r
|
|__D8(0)r
D2(1)r
|
|__D3(1)r
|__D4(0)r
|__D5(0)r
D2(2)nr
|
|__D3(2)nr
|__D4(0)r
|__D5(0)r
If the document D1 (0) is converted with conversion mode 'Actual' , then following document structure will be considered for conversion:
D1(0)r
|
|__D2(0)r
| |
| |__D3(0)r
| |__D4(0)r
| |__D5(0)r
|
|__D6(0)r
| |__D3(0)r
| |__D7(0)r
|
|__D8(0)r
If the document D1(0) is converted with conversion mode 'Latest Released' , then the following document structure will be considered for conversion:
D1(0)r
|
|__D2(1)r
| |
| |__D3(1)r
| |__D4(0)r
| |__D5(0)r
|
|__D6(0)r
| |__D3(1)r
| |__D7(0)r
|
|__D8(0)r
