Redwood: Create an Operation Applicability Rule for an Assemble To Order Model Item Work Definition in a New User Experience

Welcome to the demo of the 25A feature Redwood Create an Operation Applicability Rule for an Assemble to Order Model Item Work Definition in a New User Experience. With this enhancement, you can now efficiently create, edit, and delete applicability rules for the conditional inclusion of an operation from Assemble to Order model item work definition in configured item work orders. An applicability rule can be based one or more optional items, option classes, or child ATO models, but not based on the components of child ATO model.

These operation applicability rules are evaluated during the creation of a configured item work order to dynamically generate the list of operations in the work order, including mandatory and option-dependent operations. With this, you can use operation applicability rules for option dependent operations, which allow manufacturers the flexibility to adapt their production processes to make configured products.

This demo shows you how Redwood create an operation applicability rule for an assemble to order model item work definition in a new user experience enhances your business. We'll use ATO model MFG_B2B_ATO1, also known as ATO model ATO1 for this demo. ATO1 is an ATO model with multi-level structure with option classes OC1 and OC2 option item OP7 child ATO model ATO3.

The option class OC1 has child option classes OC3 and OC4. Option class OC3 has two option items OP31 and OP32. Option class OC4 has option items OP41, OP42, and a child ATO model ATO2. Option class OC2 has phantom option items OP21 and OP22 with multi-level phantom structures. ATO3 is a non-optional child ATO model. OP7 is an option item. It has phantom components Ph3 and Ph4. Ph3 and Ph4 have their own structures.

Let us now review the work definition for the ATO model ATO1. First, we will navigate to the manage work definitions page. We are in the Redwood manage work definitions user interface. Let us query for work definitions for ATO model MFG_B2B_ATO1, also known as ATO model ATO1. There are two work definition for ATO model ATO1. We'll use work definition Main and create applicability rules.

The work definition has six operations. First five operations has been enabled as option-dependent. Click on the Applicability Rules icon to create new rule or to edit existing rules. Let us create a new rule for the first operation, operation 10. The new applicability rule user interface. We are creating rules for operation 10. You can create a new rule or edit a rule created earlier using the new Redwood applicability rules UI here.

But the rules created using old ADF applicability rules UI cannot be queried or updated here. The rules you add here will replace rules previously created for the operation using old ADF applicability rules UI. We can use two operators, Any and All. 'Any' work similar to logical or condition where if at least one of the rule condition is true, the operation is included. 'All' work similar to logical and condition, where only if all of the rule conditions are true, the operation is included.

In Attribute, select item. We can create rules only based on items. An applicability rule can be based one or more optional items, option classes, or child ATO models, but not based on the components of child ATO model. Creating rules through transactional item attributes, that is TIAs are not supported. In the Value, you can select items. The hierarchy of the item is displayed so that you can choose the correct item from the item structure.

Here, I am choosing item OP41. Next, let us add another condition. I am choosing item OP42 here. Since we have chosen All operator here, based on these rules, only if both OP41 and OP42 chosen during configuring the sales order option-dependent operation 10 will be included in work order.

Now, we are adding another group and adding new rules. You can see the new group here. Let us add rules. I have selected Any operator here and selected item ATO2 model item. Based on the rules defined here either both OP41 and OP42 are selected or item ATO2 is selected operation 10 will be included in the work order. Let us save the details.

The rule details for option-dependent operation 10 has been saved. Similarly, we can define rules for other option-dependent operations. Let us save the work definition. In this demo, we define rules for work definition, main for the ATO model MFG_B2B_ATO1. This concludes the feature demo. Thank you for watching.
