Analyze variant formulas defined for an operation

You can view and analyze the variant formulas that are defined for an operation.

You can complete this task while you work in the Process Planning page or the Line Balancing page. This topic shows an example from the Process Planning page.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open a work package and then navigate to the Process Planning or the Line Balancing page.

2. In the Process table expand the assembly and then select one or more operations.

3. Click Effectivity > Open Variant Formula Open Variant Formula .

   Within the Variant Formula dialog box:

   Each operation that you selected is a table column.
   
   
   Table cells indicate the status of variant formulas for each
    operation.
   A check mark in a table cell indicates that the formula is defined for
    that operation.
   
   
   The variant families or options are listed as table rows.
   
   
   The caret in each column heading opens a drop-down menu with additional
    options for that operation.
   

4. Click Pin to keep the Variant Formula dialog box open while you work, and click Show All Features to expand the Filter column. Easy Plan keeps the Variant Formula dialog box open until you click Unpin or close the dialog box.

5. Review and analyze variant formulas defined for the operations.

6. (Optional) Click Validate All to validate whether defined variants meet the rules.

   Note If all variant conditions are within guidelines, Teamcenter Easy Plan displays a message that states "Variant Conditions were validated." If some variant formulas are not within guidelines, Teamcenter Easy Plan displays a message that states some variant conditions were not validated. You must resolve those variant formulas.
