Relate substitute parts

Procedure In the product structure tree, select the two lines that represent the applicable occurrences and choose Tools→Related Substitute→Relate. Teamcenter displays the View/Create Related Substitutes dialog box. Verify the parent lines and selected substitute items are those you want to relate. You can also click the Preview button to check the relation to be created. When you are satisfied that the correct relationship is selected, click the Create button to confirm the selection. Teamcenter creates the relationship between the proposed substitutes and saves it in the database; it is not necessary to explicitly save changes to the product structure. If you create an incorrect relationship, click the Reset button to reset the changes.

Note The Related Substitutes menu command is only visible if your site administrator sets the PSE_enable_related_substitutes preference to True. When you save a product structure that includes related substitute parts as a new structure, all substitute part relations are carried forward.
