• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PPEXPL_CMP - Messages for Explosion of Product Structures

• Message number: 011

• Message text: Change state &1 of variant &2 has configurable phantom assembly

What causes this issue?

During the explosion of a product structure, the system determined the
change state &V1& of variant &V2&.
In this change state, an access variant of a configurable product
structure is specified as phantom assembly. The system does not support
this modelling.

System Response

The system issues an error message, does not explode the change state
&V1& of variant &V2& any further, and continues with the explosion of
other objects.

How to fix this error?

Delete the phantom assembly in change state &V1& of variant &V2& in the
back-end system in Integrated Product and Process Engineering (iPPE).
You have the following options for modelling the split of the variant
change state:
You use an assembly group as phantom assembly.
You enter a material in the variant change state for which an access
objects exists that refers to a variant of another product structure
with the correct splitting of the material.
You build relationships from the associated node to other nodes that
model the splitting of the variant.
