Retrieve Usage Scenarios

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it possible to get details as to where all my document is used i.e, which BoM,which structure,routing etc. (because number of DIR's created is huge and manual identification will be very difficult)Will appreciate help on this.

Hi Gopal,

You may use the 'where-used' list for this.A where-used list answers the following questions: In which BOMs or document structures is a document used? How many times is it used there?

This is something that you need to know in particular if you are using several documents in different places.

To determine the BOMs or document structures in which a document is used, you must explode the BOMs and document structures from bottom to top using the Where-used list function.

USAGE:

From the main Document Management screen, choose Environment > BOMs.

Choose Reporting > Where-used list > Document single-lev.

Enter document key data to identify the document (Document, Document type, Document part, Document version). Enter data in the Type, Selection, and Use in datasets as required.

Choose Continue.

Choose Execute.

You see a list of all the BOMs and document structures which contain the document and in which the defined selection criteria are met. The list can include, for example, material BOMs or equipment BOMs
