Edit revision effectivity data

For easier access to editing functions, consider adding an Edit Revision Effectivity button to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar, choosing Customize, and selecting the required button. If you previously released two or more items or item revisions simultaneously, when you edit the effectivity of one such item or item revision, you also edit the effectivity of any associated items or item revisions. You can identify any such affected items by sending the structure line to the Workflow Viewer to see the other targets of the process that share the same release status and whose effectivity will also change.

Procedure In the Revision Effectivity dialog box, select the appropriate revision effectivity line and click Edit, or double-click the line. Teamcenter displays the Edit Revision Effectivity dialog box.

Note You can also edit revision effectivity in My Teamcenter. Double-click the item status and change the displayed value. In the Create or Edit Effectivity dialog box, choose Units or Dates effectivity, as appropriate, and define the effectivity data. If defining unit effectivity, type the desired effectivity range in the Units box. Use the - character within a continuous range, and the , character to separate discontinuous ranges. For example, the unit range 1-5,7-9 defines effectivity for units 1 through 5, and 7 through 9 (but not effective for unit 6). If defining date effectivity, select a cell in the From or To column, select a date from the calendar (and optionally enter a time), and click Set Date to place that date in the selected cell. Click the Clear Date button to remove the date from the currently selected cell. Repeat these steps for additional date ranges until you have entered all the desired date ranges. Click the UP button to add the and up (open-ended effectivity) condition to the end of the unit or date effectivity range. Click the SO button to add the stock out condition to the end of the unit or date effectivity range. Select the Apply Access Manager effectivity protection check box to apply the predefined access rules to this effectivity.

Note Teamcenter interprets UP and SO conditions as open-ended for revision configuration purposes. The revision is considered effective for any value greater than or equal to the unit or date value immediately preceding the UP or SO. Stock out indicates that existing stocks of a component revision should be used up before the next revision. Optionally, for date effectivity, use the Edit Revision Effectivity dialog box to define an end item to qualify the effectivity range. You must use this with unit effectivity to specify a product, module, or subsystem that carries the unit number to which this effectivity refers. You can select an end item in one of the following ways: Clicking Find adjacent to the End Item box and searching for an item by identifier and/or name. Copy an item to the clipboard before opening the Revision Effectivity dialog box and click Paste adjacent to the End Item box. Click MRU adjacent to the End Item box.

Note If you want to remove the entered end item, click Clear adjacent to the End Item box. Click OK to save the effectivity data you entered.
