1185 Synchronize engineering/production - Part calculation
It is possible to also copy the part calculation during synchronization if an engineering BOM contains parts with a part calculation, or if the part linked to the engineering item has a part calculation. During each synchronization, the production structure is synchronized with the engineering structure; the part calculation is usually copied just once.
Instead of synchronizing all calculation components, you can also choose to copy only the parts and operations from the calculation. To retain the links between calculation lines, for example the links between parts and operations, you need to copy both types of calculation lines at the same time.
The prerequisite for copying calculation lines differs for linked parts and parts on the engineering BOM:
Copying part calculation lines from a part linked to an engineering item is possible only if no production structure exists. Typically, you will have the production structure built during the first synchronization.
To copy calculation lines from parts in the engineering BOM, no calculation lines may exist in the production file. If, for example, the production file already contains equipment lines, then it is not possible to copy equipment lines.
If you select this check box, the part calculation numbering is copied to the production calculation. This allows you to view your production data with convenient line numbers, for example grouped by type of component: mechanical components 10, 20, 30, etcetera, and electric components 110, 120, 130, etcetera.
The setting applies if the part calculation contains phantoms to be exploded in the production calculation. If you select this check box, the line numbers will be renumbered during the process, so that lines belonging to a phantom line are placed immediately below that phantom line. If you leave this check box empty, the numbering will be as follows: the parts on the highest level will be numbered first (10, 20, 30, etc), then the parts on the second highest level, and then the parts on the level below that, etcetera. The lines belonging to the phantom line will then be placed below the last part of the highest level.

For each calculation line you can choose to display phantom lines on the form. Select the Also number invisible phantom lines check box to include non-visible phantom lines when renumbering the lines:
If you leave this check box empty, only visible calculation lines will be numbered consecutively. The visible phantom lines are taken into account in the numbering, and the non-visible phantom lines are ignored (the non-visible phantom lines are assigned a negative number). You will see a set of consecutive numbers on the form. In the example below, the numbers are 10, 20 and 30.
If you select the check box, all calculation lines are numbered consecutively. If they contain non-visible phantom lines, you will see that numbers are skipped on the form. The non-visible phantom lines are numbered consecutively, but are not displayed on the form. If the calculation contains non-visible phantom lines, you will see non-consecutive numbers on the form. In the example below, the numbers are 10, 30 and 40.
