Module

The part_number specifies the identifier of the Part. The format of the part number is user defined (OEM specific).

The company_name specifies the name of the organizational context in which the Part_number is defined.

The alias_id specifies an additional part_number that is used to identify the Part in another organizational context (e.g. company).

The version specifies the version identifier of the Part. A version cumulates and consolidates one or more single changes.

The abbreviation specifies a short name for a Part.

The description specifies additional information about the Part.

The predecessor_part_number specifies the part number of the predecessor of the Part.

The degree_of_maturity specifies the degree of maturity of a Part. Where applicable the following values shall be used: - ‘draft’ - ‘planning’ - ’equipment order’ - ‘disposition’

The copyright_note specifies copyright information for a Part.

The mass_information specifies the mass of a Part. Example: Valid values for the unit of the Numerical_value specifying the mass are ‘gram’, ‘kilogram’, or also ‘kg/piece’, ‘gram/meter’

The project_number specifies the development order number (car or engine project)

The car_classification_level_2 provides a classification according to “CC8 Recommended Practices Specification and Configuration, Product Structures”. Car classification is the identification of a set of similar cars to be offered to the market. Level 2 stands for “Technical information / platform” and reflects the level of a product class in a BoM system which represents a main technical product base (e.g. project, platform, engineering series etc.). In some cases this level carries a complete BoM (“Maximum BoM”) for a project, platform, engineering series etc. This level is in some cases called technical documentation.

The car_classification_level_3 provides a classification according to “CC8 Recommended Practices Specification and Configuration, Product Structures”. Car classification is the identification of a set of similar cars to be offered to the market. Level 3 stands for “Configuration information / product family” where all variant control mechanism are attached.

The car_classification_level_4 provides a classification according to “CC8 Recommended Practices Specification and Configuration, Product Structures”. Car classification is the identification of a set of similar cars to be offered to the market. Level 4 stands for “Furthest pre-configured abstract product class” and represents the furthest configured class of a product, which is not yet a real product. E.g. this could be a complete vehicle, engine, gear-box etc. which has not been evaluated against customer special choices or a abstract vehicle, engine, gear-box etc. which could become a real one after the associated BoM is evaluated. The purpose of this level of a product class instance is in any case to reflect that level of product class of a BoM system which leads to the individual BoM for a single product.

The model_year specifies the year of the car model.

The content specifies the information covered by the Module. The following values shall be used: - ‘variant’ - ‘module’
