Documentation

Definition

Gives the key for the focus master record. The Focus represents a special work context within iPPE and enables you to develop specific parts of a structure without affecting the original structure.

Supplementary Documentation - PPE_FOCUS 8000

Use

The focus limits the data taken from the iPPE model to be edited in the target application (such as conversion to a material BOM).

Dependencies

Example

You define a focus with a specific characteristic value assignment and validity period. When the system explodes the structure, it considers only those component variants that meet these conditions.
