Add a production program using Product Configurator

If your environment uses Product Configurator variants, you can create a production program for those variants.

Saved variant rules (SVRs) are defined in the configurator context in Manufacturing Process Planner or Product Configurator. As you define the production program, you can review and add existing SVRs to your production program.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, verify that:

• Your Teamcenter administrator has configured your environment to use Product Configurator.

• The work package you plan to use contains a configurator context.

You must also set the following values for the EP_WorkPackageContentType preference:

• EBOM:PSBOMViewRevision:config1, where config1 is the name of the configurator context that is in your work package.

• MBOM:PSBOMViewRevision:config1, where config1 is the name of the configurator context that is in your work package.

• PlantBOP:config1, where config1 is the name of the configurator context that is in your work package.

In addition, you must add each preference to the AWC_StartupPreferences in the Teamcenter rich client.

See the Preferences section in the Active Workspace Administration documentation for a description of preferences and how to set them.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open an existing work package that contains processes and operations, and navigate to the Process Planning page.

2. Click More → Create New Program.

3. Type a name and click Create.

4. Click Generate all product variants from the configurator context.

      Note 
        For each SVR, a product variant is created with a default rate of one. You can modify the default rate if needed.
   

5. (Optional) Double-click the production rate for a product variant and type a new value.

      Production rates automatically update as you set them.
   

6. (Optional) To remove a product variant, select the product variant and click Delete.
