Setting find numbers

Teamcenter assigns a unique find number to each line in the product structure. They provide an additional identifier or label for organizing the items in a single-level structure relationship. When you add an item to the product structure, the line receives the next available find number in the defined sequence. By default, the numbers are assigned in increments of 10 — that is, if the previous line added was assigned a find number of 20, Teamcenter assigns a find number of 30 to the next line added. Depending on your CAD environment, each find number may map to a callout number or a line number in the CAD design. If the find number is linked to the callout, changes of quantity made in the CAD design may directly update the quantity shown in the product structure. If appropriate, you can rearrange the structure in find numbers by clicking the Find Number column header. This rearrangement persists for future Structure Manager sessions, until you make another selection. By default, when you pack the product structure, Teamcenter packs by find number, item ID, and variant condition. This allows you to pack two or more occurrences of the same item, if each occurrence is has the same find number, item ID, and variant condition. To pack structure lines, they must all have the same occurrence effectivity object or objects; that is, they must have shared effectivity; it is not sufficient for the lines to only have the same effectivity ranges. You can define if occurrences are packed on your workstation by changing the PSEAutoPackPref preference. Your site may also customize Teamcenter behavior so that the structure is packed by criteria other than find number. The highest find number supported by Teamcenter is 99999999999.
