Release engineering BOM data by validating and releasing the active change

If you created or updated the engineering BOM data, by setting an active change notice, the data can be validated and released together by validating and releasing the active change notice.

Procedure

If the change is not yet submitted, submit the change.

You can either use the change notice and the EBOM Release Process template or use a simple change and the EBOM Simple Change Workflow template.

Validate the change notice to perform validation checks on the engineering BOM before its release. This validation is based upon a set of predefined validation rules in the system. Your administrator can also create custom validation rules. From Launcher, click Changes.If this option is unavailable, search for it. You can pin it from the search results for future access. Select the change under which the structure is created or modified. Click Validate Change in the Overview tab.

If the validation fails, the issues are listed in the Validation tab under the Validation Summary section. Resolve the issues, as needed. Once the issues are resolved and the validation is successful, you can release the change.

Click Release Change to release the change notice.While releasing the change, Teamcenter validates the change again to resolve any issues found during the initial validation.

If no issues found, structure is released. Note that, the workflow (EBOM Release Process workflow or the EBOM Simple Change Workflow) also releases the BOM view revisions of the ItemRevisions that are tracked by the change.
