Set Structure/Routing Alternate Buildable

Explanation

Use this activity to change the status of a structure or routing alternate to Buildable. A structure or routing alternate in Buildable status is completely visible in the system. A structure alternate in Buildable status is used for generating allocations and demands. A routing alternate in Buildable status is used for generating order operations and load. They are both used for planning and costing purposes. You can change the status of the structure or routing alternate to Obsolete. If the Structure Update attribute on the site in Site/Manufacturing is set to Restricted, the structure or routing alternate and its components or operations cannot be modified at this status. If the Structure Update attribute is set to Enhanced, you can modify the structure and routing alternate the same as you would for the Tentative and Plannable statuses.
