Remove a substitute component

If you do not display substitutes as separate lines, follow this procedure:

Procedure Select the required line in the product structure tree. Click List Substitutes. Teamcenter displays the List Substitutes dialog box. Select the substitute component you want to remove and click (Remove) or choose Edit→Remove. You can also press Shift+Ctrl to select more than one substitute in the list for removal. If you remove all listed substitutes, the line in the product structure is no longer marked as having substitutes. If you display substitutes as separate lines, follow this procedure:

Procedure Load the structure that has substitutes defined for primary items. Select the substitute line and choose Edit→Remove. A confirmation dialog box appears. Click Yes. Teamcenter removes the substitute line from the structure. This action only removes the substitute from the substitute list of the primary part. It does not delete the underlying part.
