Elements of a revision configured product structure

The following elements may appear in a product structure that is controlled by revision configuration. Element Purpose Baseline A copy of the currently configured structure at the time the baseline was created. Baselining configures a completely released structure and thereby guarantees that the models are always the same as when the baseline was created. End item A product, system, or module with respect to which you can configure the structure by effectivity. For example, you can configure the structure of unit number 110 in product X400, where X400 is the end item. End item revision The configured revision for the selected end item. Imprecise assembly A single-level assembly that has items (not item revisions) as the components. Teamcenter determines the applicable revision from the revision rule settings. Override list A mechanism that allows a user to override the revision that would normally be loaded by the revision rule. The user places item revisions in a workspace folder, and the revision rule is overridden by the rule specified in the override list. The folder provided for the override list may contain multiple nested folders. The item revision in the topmost folder is configured. Precise assembly A single-level assembly that has specific item revisions as the components. When Teamcenter applies the revision rule, the precisely specified item revision is configured by a precise entry in a revision rule. Release status An object assigned to an item revision after it is successfully released. Item revisions can be configured according to their status. The status may optionally contain effectivity data for revision configuration (not occurrence effectivity configuration). Revision rule The parameters set by a user that determine which revision of an item at a particular time. You can also save a revision rule as a workspace object. Rule entry A revision rule comprises an ordered list of rule entries. Each type of rule entry is concerned with a particular type of configuration. Snapshot You can save a configured product structure as a snapshot. The snapshot folder contains all revisions of the structure, and you can use it to redisplay a saved structure at any time. Working revision An unreleased version of the structure. Any user with write privileges can freely change this revision. Teamcenter maintains no record of intermediate states of a working revision.
