Configuring structures by classic variants

Changing the allowed values of an option

When an assembly is released, both the item revision and the BOM view revision are locked to prevent change. For example, dashboard assembly revision A020/A is released to production and offers the choice of none, mono, or stereo radio, as shown in the following figure. Allowed values of an option Subsequently you withdraw the radio option and add a stereo-cassette option. The following figure shows the necessary changes: You change the allowed value of the radio option, removing the none value and adding the stereo-cassette value. As a result of this change, you revise the owning item A020 to revision B. You revise the dashboard assembly and to add a new component P25 - Stereo-Cassette and the appropriate variant condition. You also remove component P30 - Blank Plate. Changing option allowed values If a revision rule configures revision A of the dashboard assembly, you see the original set of components. Teamcenter presents none, mono and stereo values of the radio option in the variant rule. If revision B of the dashboard assembly is configured, you see the modified assembly and are presented with the modified mono, stereo, and stereo-cassette values of the radio option. Depending on your business practices, you may also revise the body assembly to: Remove the component, P080 - Wing Without Hole, which is no longer necessary. Remove the redundant variant condition from the occurrence of P085 - Wing With Hole. Optionally, modify the variant conditions on the aerials. This modification is not essential and the audio system still behaves correctly if the change is not made.
