Manage Inconsistent Item-Product Scopes

Stretching an Item-Product Scope

You can transfer an Item-Product Scope to an upper level in the product structure. Implement links are automatically reconnected.

Note: This functionality does not deal with effectivity, that is, no instance is evolved when stretching the links.

  1. Select a product that fits the following conditions:

    • The scope link and implement links under it must be loaded in the session.
    • The new scoped product must be a parent of the previous one.
    • The new scoped product must be inside the global scope.

  2. Right-click the item holding the scope, then click Stretch Item-Product Scope in the context menu.
    A confirmation dialog box appears, listing the affected implement links.
    Warning: This command modifies the scope link everywhere the item holding it is used, including in data saved in the database but not opened in the current session.
  3. Click Yes to apply the modification.
    The scope is stretched to the selected product and the implement links under it are reconnected.
