Complete Grouping Criteria

Explanation

This activity is used to complete grouping criteria. When you are finished with the definition of grouping criteria for a grouping ID, you need to perform this activity to retrieve basic data for the grouping criteria that will be used to build the Execution Logic Structure (ELS) template. Note: Only the basic data records with the Include in Execution Logic Planning check box selected will be considered. The generated structure can be viewed graphically in the Gantt tab or textually in the ELS Nodes tab or the ELS Sequencing tab.

Prerequisites

• Grouping criteria must be defined for a grouping ID and product model.
• Basic data for execution phase, task card location, resource, zone, and function number must be defined. The data to be included in the ELS template must have the Include in Execution Logic Planning check box selected.

System Effects

• An ELS template with grouping nodes will be generated for the grouping ID and product model. This can be viewed in the Gantt chart or in a table format.
• A sorting can be added to all basic data valid for the selected grouping criteria.
• If a sorting has been defined for execution phases in basic data, the sorting will automatically be added to the template if the grouping criterion for execution phases has been selected.
• The status of the grouping ID is set to Under Preparation.
