Enter Structure Serial Ranges
Explanation
Use this activity to define a serial range for a part using serial
effectivity for structures. If the part is marked as using serial effectivity for
structures, you can define structure serial pointers to indicate the specific structure
alternative to be used for a given serial range. This means that allocation and demand
information is determined based on the serial number of the part being ordered, not on the
date of the order.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that the part must be defined with the structure effectivity set
to serial.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the system defines a structure serial range for a part using serial effectivity for structures.
