Configure structure using group effectivity

You can configure product structures using group effectivity, which combines multiple end items, unit ranges, or date ranges to simultaneously manage the effectivity of various occurrences. You can also add, modify, or remove these group effectivities.

A group effectivity is a combination of multiple end items and range of units for each end item or multiple date ranges. When you want to configure multiple occurrences at the same time which have different effectivities on them, you can configure using group effectivity. You can configure the structure by adding group effectivities if your administrator has configured it for you at your site. Group effectivity is used to configure product structure occurrences of an assembly by:

Specifying multiple end items

Specifying the unit effectivity ranges for each of those end items

Specifying multiple date ranges
