Budgets view

In the Budgets view, you can monitor the performance of downstream targets by applying technical measurements, such as Technical Performance Measures (TPMs), to structures and their members. Teamcenter Systems Engineering implements technical measurements through budgets.

Budgets work through Microsoft Office Excel, in which you define and quantify parameters like height, weight, or power. With parameter values expressed in appropriate units (for example, inches, pounds, or watts), aggregates can be reported upstream to the system level.

You use Teamcenter live Excel to apply new budgets and initial values, and to edit existing values, for individual structure elements.

1. Budgets view data — Displays the actual values of each budget for the selected structure element.
2. Budgets view buttons — Allow you to edit a selected budget's values in live Excel and to remove the structure element from participation in the budget.
