Sites with multiple BOM views

The creation of multiple views is discouraged for new Teamcenter deployments but continues to be supported for existing customers with successful deployments. Siemens Digital Industries Software therefore no longer recommends that you attempt to transition an existing site to multiple views. Several possible alternatives to multiple views are available. Although Teamcenter supports multiple BOM views, the default configuration is a single BOM view type called View that applies to the entire site. To manage multiple BOM views, you must designate one BOM view type as the default view by setting the PSE_default_view_type preference. Because the initial (default) configuration of Teamcenter installation and upgrades from all previous versions of Teamcenter is single view and uses the View BOM view type, this preference is set to view by default.
