Configuring Best/Worst Case Priorities

You can configure the priority sequence that Materials Compliance Management uses to select an enterprise part or MEP for best and worst cases.

For example, you could modify the order for worst case to be:

  • Non-Compliant
  • Compliant with Exemptions
  • Compliant
  • Unreported (unreported enterprise parts do not participate)
  • Contains Unreported (not used for MEPs)

Best and worst case priorities are taken into account in the following functions:

  • Calculation of best or worst case compliance in roll ups
  • Selected equivalent selection using the best or worst case selected equivalent method
  • Selection of the best or worst case configuration in the Best/Worst Case Analysis report

  2. To specify the best case priority, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxMaterialsComplianceCentral.BestWorstCase.BestCasePriority

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      • Y Compliant
      • E Compliant with Exemptions
      • C Contains Unreported (not for MEPs)

      • N Non-Compliant
      • F
      • I

      For example:

      emxMaterialsComplianceCentral.BestWorstCase.BestCasePriority=Y,E,C,U,N

  3. To specify the worst case priority, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxMaterialsComplianceCentral.BestWorstCase.WorstCasePriority

    2. Set the value for this property to a comma-separated list to indicate the order in which these compliance states should be used to determine the worst case:

      • Y Compliant
      • E Compliant with Exemptions
