Unlink variant items

You may want to unlink variant items from the generic module item so that you can change the variant item. This is desirable if you use the generic structure as a quick way to create variant items for a particular customer order and the generic order is then further customized for the specific order. To unlink variant items, choose Tools→Variants→Unlink Variant Item. Teamcenter displays the Unlink Variant Item dialog box and you can click Yes to confirm deletion of the variant item. When you unlink variant items, they are not found during a variant item search, because they have evolved and may not be appropriate for the purpose. However, if they are still appropriate, you can reuse in the structure for a new order.

Note You cannot relink a variant item after you have unlinked it from the generic module.
