View a supersedure in Structure Manager
Viewing a supersedure displays the additions and deletions to the selected affected item.
Procedure Select an affected item in Change Manager and choose Send To Structure Manager with Supersedure Window .
Note The affected item must be related to a change. If you send any other item to Structure Manager in this way, you cannot work in the supersedure environment. If Structure Manager displays a Do you wish to update BOM Changes (needed only if structure is edited outside change control)? message, click Yes. This ensures you can manage the BOM changes that are now being managed in Structure Manager, outside of change control. When you open a change object in the supersedure window for the first time, click the split panels icon: You must select Yes from the confirmation dialog. If you select No, clicking the split panels icon when opening subsequent changes results in no action; the confirmation window does not appear nor does the supersedure window open. To reset this behavior after clicking No, you must close all Structure Manager windows. To disable the confirmation dialog and open supersedure windows automatically in the future, set the CM_disp_bom_edits_dialog preference to Yes. Click Supersedures Environment . The supersedures folder is displayed in the supersedures view in the bottom pane. The Adds folder displays additions to the assembly with a to the left of the component name. The Cancels folder displays deletions from the assembly with a to the left of the component name. View the supersedure of the same affected item with a different problem item by selecting a different problem item from the list below the right pane. This list displays any other problem items that have been used to create a supersedure with the selected affected item revision. A new supersedure appears, displaying the additions and deletions of the new supersedure.
