Use this window and its tabs to enter and maintain part structures. Because you work with parts in the inventory part register, you must have entered the parts, inventory locations and all related data in IFS/Inventory. For each part number, you can see any engineering change orders (ECOs) associated with that part, including the source of each change order and the date on which the change order was made. Any ECO information will be transferred automatically when a part revision is created by an engineering transfer. You can also manually enter ECOs for the selected part. The information you enter here becomes the default when you work with structures in shop orders.
For a description of each tab in the window, follow the appropriate link: Product Structure, Query – Where Used, Query – Multi Level, Serial, Engineering Change Order, Design FMEAs, By-Product Cost Distribution, MRBs. The Eng Change Order tab is only visible if you have IFS/Engineering installed. The Design FMEAs tab is only visible if you have Failure Modes and Effects Analysis installed. The Product Structure MRB tab is only available if you have IFS/Change Management installed.
