Grouped entries: Scenario

You can group status entries and working entries for equal precedence. In the case of status entries, you can group two or more different statuses with equal precedence.

Example of revision rule with grouped entries

[ Has Status( Production, Configured by Date Released )
  Has Status( Pre-Production, Configured by Date Released ) ]

Assume you configure the following three items with this rule (dates are release dates):

Part1/A : Status = Pre-Production [1-Apr-2007]
Part1/B : Status = Production [1-Jun-2007]
Part1/C : Status = Production [1-Aug-2007]
Part1/D : Working
Part2/A : Status = Pre-Production [1-May-2007]
Part2/B : Status = Production [1-Jul-2007]
Part2/C : Status = Pre-Production [1-Sep-2007]
Part3/A : Status = Pre-Production [1-Aug-2007]
Part3/B : Working
  • Teamcenter configures Revision C of Part 1, because it is the latest released revision with either Production or Pre-Production status.
  • Teamcenter configures Revision C of Part 2 for the same reason.
  • Teamcenter configures Revision A of Part 3, again for the same reason.
