Process Engineer Relationships Supported in DPM

The following sections detail the relationships between Process Engineer entities and their DPM counterparts.

The image below shows a Process Engineer PPR Tree (on the left) which has a process defined, with products and resources assigned to it. A DPM PPR tree is shown on the right after importing the same process from Process Engineer. All products and resources associated to the selected process and its children are imported into DPM as shown:

Supported Process Engineer relations in DPM

Process Engineer Relation	DPM Equivalent
Process Processes Product	Items
Process First Processes Product	Items (first use)
Process Removes Product	Items (removes)
Process Creates Product	Outputs
Process Uses Resource	Resources
Process Runs On Resource	Resources (Process running on resource

Process Engineer Relations that may be deleted from DPM (via Unassign commands)

All, except Process Runs on Resource. (Currently, the Process Runs on Resource may be deleted in a DPM session, but the deletion will not be saved back to the PPR Hub.)
