Configure 120% BOM

Procedure Click the Variant Rule button on the toolbar or choose Tools→Variant Rule. Teamcenter displays the Variant Rule dialog box. Select the Allow multiple values for option check box.

Note Clearing this check box exits 120% BOM mode. If you return to 100% mode by clearing the 120% mode check box, Teamcenter displays the following message. Copy You are about to disable multiple values for an option. This will automatically clear and apply the variant rule to the BOM. Defaults, derived defaults and variant rule checks will be evaluated. Do you want to continue? If you click No, the mode remains at 120%. If you click Yes, the mode reverts to 100% and Teamcenter applies the default variant rule to the BOM. If you select Don’t show this message again, Teamcenter applies the default variant rule when you exit 120% mode without prompting. If defaults or derived defaults exist, Teamcenter displays the following message. You can carry over the defaults and derived default values as user set values if you want; otherwise, they are cleared. Copy Do you want to carry over the default and derived default value(s) as user set? If you select No, these values will be automatically cleared. If you want to carry over the default and derived default values into the 120% BOM, you must click Yes, and Teamcenter carries over the option values to a new variant rule as user set. If you click No, default and derived defaults are cleared in 120% BOM mode.

Note If you click Cancel without applying the changes, Teamcenter reconfigures the BOM to its last applied state. If you have a large BOM, this action may take a little time and a working indicator displays in the progress bar until it is complete. To select multiple option values, click the required values one at time in the drop-down list. Each selected value is highlighted, as shown. The selected values are displayed in the table as an (OR) expression, for example, I4 OR V6. The (OR) expression is the default value and may be changed by editing the PS_option_value_delimiter preference. To clear a value, click it a second time.

Note In the previous example, there are two values set for Engine but only one value for State. When you exit 120% mode by clearing the Allow multiple values for option check box, Teamcenter prompts you to confirm if you want to proceed. If you click No, Structure Manager remains in 120% mode. If you click Yes, Teamcenter applies the default variant rule in 100% mode. If you have a large BOM, this action may take a little time to complete and a working indicator displays in the status bar until it finishes. If you also select the Do not display this message again check box, you are no longer prompted for confirmation when you switch from 120% mode to 100% mode.

Note Variant items are not supported in 120% BOM mode.
