Requirement

The Requirement options let you customize requirement usages for Process Planning.

This page discusses:

Requirement

Manage Requirement Usages

This option allows you to activate a usage specification when a requirement is assigned to an item or an operation. The list of possible values for the usage is defined by the customer thanks to a CATRule file, DELPPRRequirementUsages.CATRule, located in the ..\resources\knowledge\scripts folder. The standard CATRule defines the Realize and Control values.

By default, this option is not selected.

Include an Ignore Usage
This option is available only if the Manage Requirement Usages option is selected. This option adds an Ignore usage to the Realize and Control values.

By default, this option is not selected.

Assignable Requirements for an Item - Assembly

Get Requirements from Engineering Items Linked to Selected Item
When selected, this option computes the list of possible assembly requirements as follows:
  1. It retrieves the engineering item scoped by the selected manufactured item.
  2. If there is no engineering item found, then it obtains the engineering items that are the assignment filter's direct targets on the selected manufactured item.
  3. If there are no engineering items by scope or by assignment filter on the selected manufactured item, then it obtains the engineering items from the first upper scope or the first upper assignment filter respectively.
    Note: The parent of the selected manufactured item is checked recursively for scopes and assignment filters.
From the retrieved engineering item, it obtains the published requirement specifications and all the requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is selected.

Get Requirements from Children of Linked Engineering Items
It retrieves all the children of the previously identified engineering items and obtains the requirement specifications linked to the identified engineering item and all the requirements thereafter.
Note: When selected for assemblies, this option displays the Display Requirements from lower scopes check box in the Requirement to Item Assignment tab. Select this check box to obtain requirements below the lower scope.

By default, this option is not selected.

Get Requirements from Resulting Product Defined on Selected Item
If a Resulting Product is defined on the selected manufactured item, then it retrieves the requirement specifications published by the Resulting Product root and all FTA requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is selected.

Requirements from Global Specification Link
When selected, this option computes the list of possible assembly requirements as follows:
  1. It retrieves all the requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the selected manufactured item and lists all the requirements thereafter.
  2. If there are no requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the selected manufactured item, then it retrieves all the requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the first upper parent scope and lists all the requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is not selected.

Assignable Requirements for an Item - Part Fabrication

Get Requirements from Engineering Items Linked to Selected Item
When selected, this option computes the list of possible individual item requirements as follows:
  1. It retrieves the engineering item scoped by the selected manufactured item.
  2. If there is no engineering item scoped by the selected manufactured item, then it obtains the engineering items from the first upper scope or the first upper assignment filter respectively.
    Note: The parent of the selected manufactured item is checked recursively for scopes and assignment filters.
From the retrieved engineering item, it obtains the published requirement specifications and all the requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is selected.

Get Requirements from Resulting Product Defined on Selected Item
If a Resulting Product is defined on the selected manufactured item, then it retrieves the requirement specifications published by the Resulting Product root and all FTA requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is selected.

Get Requirements from Global Specification Link
When selected, this option computes the list of possible individual item requirements as follows:
  1. It retrieves all the requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the selected manufactured item and lists all the requirements thereafter.
  2. If there are no requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the selected manufactured item, then it retrieves all the requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the first upper parent scope and lists all the requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is not selected.

Assignable Requirements for an Operation

Get Assigned Requirements on First Upper Scoped Items
When selected, this option computes the list of possible operation requirements as follows:
  1. It retrieves the manufactured item from the first upper scope.
  2. It retrieves all the assigned requirements to this manufactured item scope.
  3. If there are requirement specifications linked with a consumption link to this manufactured item scope, then it also retrieves all the requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is selected.

Get Requirements from Output Defined on Selected Operation
If an operation output is defined on this operation, then it retrieves the requirement specifications published by the operation output root and all FTA requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is not selected.

Get Requirements Assigned on Previous Operations
When selected, this option computes the list of possible operation requirements as follows:
  1. It retrieves the requirements assigned to the previous operations.
  2. It retrieves the requirements defined on the output of these operations (which are not visible to the next operations).

By default, this option is not selected.

Get Requirements from Global Specification Link
It retrieves all the requirement specifications linked with a Global Specification link to the first parent system or workplan and all requirements thereafter.

By default, this option is not selected.
