Creating a Manufactured Item

You can create one or more manufactured items on a manufactured item node of the tree using the context menu or commands in the action bar.

  1. Right-click a manufactured item node in the tree and click Insert Predecessor in the context menu.
  2. Select the manufactured item type.

    Depending on the manufactured item type of the selected node, the proposed types are:

    • Manufacturing Assembly
    • Provided Part
    • Manufacturing Kit
    • Manufactured Material
    • Manufactured Part
    • Fasten
    • Manufacturing Installation
    • Continuous Provided Material
    • Continuous Manufactured Material
    • Remove Material
    • Transform

    A new manufactured item node is inserted in the tree.

    Notes:
    • You can also create manufactured items by selecting the manufactured item type from the action bar. Double-clicking a command in the action bar lets you quickly create several manufactured items of the selected type.
    • It is impossible to insert a predecessor for certain types of item (such as Provided Part and Fasten).
    • A data requirement link is automatically created from a new manufactured item (predecessor) to its parent manufactured item (successor).
