Hello,

I tried to create the structure of a DOP, but I have the following error message : “ A configuration has to be present before an order is Planned” whereas the configuration has the status “Completed”. 

I tried to create the structure of a DOP on an other site / part and it doesn’t works as well with the same errror message. 

 

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Hi, 

 

This happens when a multilevel configured structure has :

  • a Characteristic set as not mandatory on Part Configuration Revision of the top-level part
  • the same characteristic set as mandatory on Part Configuration Revision of a lower level configured part

When the DOP tries to generate the BOM, it uses the Part Configuration Revisions as a reference for each level.

With above setup, a value is expected for the characterisitc but as it’s not mandatory for the top-level part, there is no value input by the end-user.

 

Regards,

Pierre
