Correct Structure Positions
Explanation
This activity is used to correct invalid structure positions for a serial
structure. Invalid structure positions can occur when the part number and/or
part revision of a serial that is used in a structure is renamed. For example, a
part identity change on a modification can result in the rename of the template
part for the serial. If the new template contains different structure positions,
the serial structure will contain invalid structure positions. These invalid
structure positions must be corrected before the serial structure can be set in
operation and operational loggings entered against it.
Prerequisites
To perform this activity, a serial structure with invalid structure positions
must exist.
System Effects
- All invalid structure positions in the selected
serial's structure will be corrected.
- The replacement history is updated with relevant
transaction records. These records will have the structure change type
Corrective, with an indication of whether the replacement was a
connection to the structure (Into) or a disconnection from the
structure (Out of).
