Part Number
When rules are defined, the part or parts the rule is applicable to is specified. There are four possibilities for assigning a part number to a rule:
|
|
Which Parts the Rule is Applicable to
|
|
*ALL
|
All configured parts
|
|
*Group Name
|
All parts within a specific group of parts
|
|
*Sub Group Name
|
All parts within a specific sub-group of parts
|
|
*Part Number
|
The specified configured part

Possibilities for Assigning a Part Number to a Rule.
Rules definition is more efficient by allowing rules to be defined for a grouping of parts or for all configured parts. When rules are identical for numerous parts, the parts may be defined as members of a group or sub-group. See Key Concepts - Part Definition for more information. When rules are applicable to a grouping of parts, rules are defined one time for the grouping. When rules are identical among all configured parts, the rules are defined once for all parts. If groups, subgroups, or *ALL is used, the parts must exist in the plant for which the rule is being defined.
