Managing properties and notes

Displaying properties

The following table lists some of the columns available in the properties view of the product structure and provides a description of their functions. BOM line properties have display names or system names, and the system names are in the format bl_xxx. Add or edit a display name for a system name using Business Modeler IDE. You can add or remove property columns in the table tree by right-clicking the BOM window and choosing Insert Columns in the shortcut menu. By default, Teamcenter displays selection lists of all available properties to add or remove that may contain a large number of system and custom properties. To make the selection list more manageable, the administrator can restrict the properties that are displayed by group or role. You can also freeze commonly used columns so that they are always visible. You can save property column configurations at a user, site, or group level. The same columns are then available for every session and for multiple users. You can update the values of all the displayed properties in the BOM window by pressing the F5 key. This feature may be useful if more than one user is working on the structure and you want to synchronize to the latest information, for example, a changed value or modified occurrence note.

Note If you make a change to a persistent object (for example, an item, item revision, item master, item revision master, GDE, or BOM view revision) in My Teamcenter or a data pane, the BOM line that references the updated property may not refresh automatically. You specify custom item or item revision classes to add as derived BOM line properties. To configure the list of available properties of custom item or item revision classes available to the end user, the administrator sets the Fnd0BOMLineItemConfigProps and Fnd0BOMLineRevConfigProps Business Modeler IDE constants and the BOM_Properties_For_Column_Selection preference. In addition to the default and custom properties, your administrator may also create customized note types.

Tip You can use some of additional properties not listed in the table to determine why a particular line is configured or hidden, for example: bl_is_occ_configured Shows if the line is configured by the current occurrence effectivity. bl_ic_state Shows if the line is configured by the current incremental change. bl_variant_state Shows if the line is configured by the active variant.
