Configuring structures by modular variants > Using modular variants
Checking for errors
You may not want to allow all possible permutations of a module. For example, in the refrigerator freezer, the top application and bottom application cannot both be set to the same value of Refrigerator. You can use error checks to warn about unsupported combinations, by displaying a message when the user attempts to set option value combinations specified in the error check. You can define one of the following messages to warn of unsupported combinations: Error Teamcenter displays the error message, and the user is not allowed to configure the combination specified. Warning Teamcenter displays the warning message, but the user may set the combination specified. Information Teamcenter displays the information message, and the user may set the combination specified.
Note Create error checks at the appropriate module, typically at the top level. Do not create them on global items.
