Running accountability checks

You can check two structures for consistency to ensure all lines in the source structure are consumed in the target structure. You can compare the entire product or a selected assembly.

For example, you can compare the product structure and requirements structure to ensure all the requirements are accounted for in the final product design. You can also use the accountability check for impact analysis. For example, if a requirement changes, you can identify what physical parts are affected.

Teamcenter reports the following anomalies:

• Lines in the source structure that are not consumed in the target structure.
• Lines in the target structure that are not present in the source structure.
• Any line that is consumed more than once.
• Any line that is not fully consumed, for example, if a quantity of 3 is specified in the source but only two components are consumed in the target.
