Create cross-schedule dependency

You can create dependencies between tasks in different schedules, including the top-level summary tasks in the Schedule Manager application. The schedule may be part of the same master schedule or in entirely separate schedules.

Note: You cannot create a cross-schedule dependency between a schedule template and a non-template schedule.

Note: You cannot create a dependency between a published schedule and an unpublished schedule, even if you are the creator and owner of both schedules.

Procedure

  1. Select a task in an original schedule you created.

  2. Choose Schedule → Link → Create Cross Schedule Dependency.

    Teamcenter displays the Select a Schedule page in the Create Cross Schedule Dependency wizard.

  3. Select the schedule on which to depend.

  4. Click Next.

    Teamcenter displays the Select a Task page.

  5. Select the task on which to depend.

  6. Click Next.

    Teamcenter displays the Create a dependency page.

  7. Select Successor or Predecessor from the list.

  8. Select a dependency type from the Dependency Type list.

  9. Select a value from the Lag list.

  10. Click Finish.

The proxy task appears grayed out.

Results

You can also create this dependency by creating a proxy task first, and then linking it to another task.
