Synchronizing with Planning Data

You can import planning data to build a manufacturing product composed of the system output computed from the planning.

A manufacturing product is the collection of parts that represents the as-manufactured product. During early validation, the manufacturing product directly aggregates the EBOM assembly while in resource programming. When the process and the workplan are available, the product includes the in-process model of the EBOM.

Synchronize Data with Planning builds a manufacturing product composed of intermediate assemblies defined by process planning, and can be called at any organizational level (line, station, etc.). Once a manufacturing product has been created, subsequent calls of Synchronize Data with Planning update its content if any planning or design changes have been made.

The following example synchronizes planning data with a general operation.

This task shows you how to:


Before you begin:

Prepare the planning data with Process Planning.

  • The manufacturing cell containing the general operation must have a scope link defined with the planning. For more information, see Manufactured Item Definition User's Guide: Manufactured Item-Product Scope: Creating Manufactured Item-Product Scope.
  • Planning data must be imported from any Process Planning session. Planning data is present under the PPR Context.
