Enable design and engineering BOM alignment

For users to use the latest Teamcenter alignment solution to align design and engineering BOM (Usage BOM or Assembly BOM), you must first enable the solution. If a different Teamcenter solution is already set up for alignment, you must disable the existing solution. To do these, you set the following preferences:

Preference	Value
MEDesignToBom_Enabled	false
FND0_ENABLE_DESIGN_BOM_ENGINEERING_BOM_ALIGNMENT	true

To ensure that variant formulas are copied from the design structure to the engineering BOM during generation, you must set the PSM_enable_product_configurator preference to true.

Additionally, configure the FND0_CBA_SHOW_DESIGN_VARIANT_ON_EBOM preference, which controls the display of the variant formula for the aligned design on the EBOM structure. By default, the variant formula of the aligned design is hidden. Set this preference to true to display the variant formula.

Next, you must migrate the absolute alignment data, if any, as relative alignment data if you want the relative alignment functionality that allows the reuse of an assembly without performing the alignment of its child parts again.
