Releasing an allocation

You can release allocations and, therefore, they may be given a status and possibly an effectivity. The release status may configure allocations in one of two ways:

• The release status and effectivity on the allocation configures the allocation from the revision rule.
• Each of the allocations can be associated with an incremental change order that determines effectivity. Teamcenter uses the effectivity on the incremental change order to configure the allocation.

If you add status to an allocation, you can apply various effectivities to this relationship independent of the structures themselves. This provides flexibility when applying several allocations to the structure.
