Create decision tree

You can use the decision tree to assign defined standard supply chains to parts. The assignment is made using predefined filter criteria.

 The assignment takes place according to these steps:

1. Click on the Filter button
2. Then the following view opens in the right half of ipolog.

   A property can now be selected as a filter criteria. Columns from the imported logistics quantity framework serve as filter criteria. You can only filter by columns that actually contain entries in the logistics quantity framework. If customer-specific columns are defined, they are also available here as filters.

3. If a filter criteria has been selected (in this example "LOG-ID"), all possible values to be assigned to this property / contained in the LMG for this property appear in the left half of the table.
4. To assign the values to a standard supply process, there are various options that must be defined for the selected node (highlighted in blue) via the drop-down menu.

Manual selection:

Note: Assigning values to a node with this rule is only possible if a LQF has already been imported.

If the manual selection for a node is selected, individual values can be selected from the unassigned values displayed on the left and assigned to the node highlighted in blue by clicking on it.

To confirm the selection, "Refresh" must be selected. With this button all manually assigned values are actually assigned to corresponding nodes and then also visualized on the left:

Range:

If the "range" option is selected for a node, all values that fall within a value range can be assigned to the node highlighted in blue from the unassigned values displayed on the left. For this purpose, the limits of the value range are defined via the two input boxes (see 1 + 2). The set rule is applied via "Refresh" and the values are automatically assigned (in the example below, all installation rates between 10% and 40%):

To maintain consistency, once this rule is selected, nothing can be manually assigned or removed to or from a node.

Values higher / lower than:

If one of the options is selected for a node, all values that fall within this rule can be assigned to the node with the blue background from the unassigned values displayed on the left. For this purpose, a corresponding value is defined in the input window (see 1). The set rule is applied via "Refresh" and the values are automatically assigned (in the example below, all installation rates greater than 40%).

To maintain consistency, once this rule is selected, nothing can be manually assigned or removed to or from a node.

String Search:

If the option "String Search" is selected for a node, all values that contain the specified string can be assigned to the node highlighted in blue from the unassigned values displayed on the left. For this purpose, the character string is defined via the input window (see 1 ). The set rule is applied via "Refresh" and the values are automatically assigned (in the example below, all part groupings that contain the character string "Sch"):

To maintain consistency, once this rule is selected, nothing can be manually assigned or removed to or from a node.

 Option "Assign all":

If you select a node via 1 and assign the option "Manual selection" to it, all values available on the left can be assigned to this node via "Assign all". If one of the other options is selected for this node, this option is not available.

How the assignment of values to nodes works:

The assignment to the various nodes using the various options is hierarchical here:
The defined options are run through from top to bottom and the values are assigned accordingly.
To illustrate, an example: it is possible to define the following rules for the nodes below:

There are 13 values which are smaller than 90 and 8 values which are smaller than 30. If you apply this filter, you get the following result:

Since the rule for values smaller than 90 is higher up in the hierarchy, it is applied first and therefore all 13 available values are assigned, including the 8 values that are also smaller than 30. Accordingly, the 8 values smaller than 30 are no longer available for the second node. If you reverse the rules, you get the following result:

Now the rule for values less than 30 is higher up in the hierarchy, so the values are assigned here first. Then all other values are checked again for values below 90 and assigned.

Move nodes:

You can use the two shift arrows of a node (see 1) to move the nodes in their hierarchy.

After moving nodes, the assignment of the values to the nodes must be updated via "Refresh".

Define a standard supply chain for a node:

To define an SVK for a node, click on the "SVK" button (see 1), then select the corresponding SVK (see 2):
