Releasing an item with an allocation to a physical component

Allocations are independent of the structures they allocate. The allocations are modeled in their own environment and must form a valid set. Releasing an item on either side of the allocation has no effect on the allocation itself.

Note

The allocated target component is identified as a property on the source structure. Because the allocation is independent of source and target release status and the allocation can be created or deleted on a released object, the allocation information (property value) on the source component can change, regardless of its release status.

Teamcenter may allocate the same function structure to multiple physical components. Consequently, the allocated to information on the source may differ, depending on the context of allocation.
