Set dates, units, and end items

To set the date, unit number, and/or end item of the currently active revision rule, choose Tools→Revision Rule→Set Date/Unit/End Item. Teamcenter displays the Set Date/Unit/End Item dialog box into which you can enter a date, a unit number, and an end item for the current revision rule. The first time you make a change to a saved revision rule (including setting a date, unit number, or end item), Teamcenter creates a modified copy of the rule and applies it to the window. This is the rule to which you make the unit number change. If any date, unit number, or end item has been explicitly set in the current rule, you cannot change the value in this dialog box and the relevant boxes are grayed out.

Tip You can add a button to the toolbar to initiate the Tools→Revision Rule→Set Date/Unit/End Item command, by right-clicking the toolbar, choosing Customize, and selecting the required button. If you specify an end item identifier that is shared by multiple objects, Teamcenter displays the Select Unique Item dialog box, allowing you to select the object you require. You can create or modify a revision rule in applications other than Structure Manager. Structure Manager does display such revision rules and their entries, and you can use them to configure the structure based on the displayed entries. However, a product structure in Structure Manager and in other application may have different data conditions. If so, the configurations in the applications are different, even if you use the same revision rule.
