Check out MBOM parts and assemblies

When an administrator sets the value of the preference MBM_CheckoutCheckForFocus to true, you can check out parts and assemblies to avoid working simultaneously with other colleagues on areas of the same manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) in the same work package. This capability is similar to manufacturing checkin and checkout in Manufacturing Process Planner.

In the MBOM panel, press Ctrl or Shift and select one or more parts or assemblies to be checked out, and in the MBOM toolbar, do one of the following.

• Choose Manage →Check Out .

• Click Focus , and when prompted to check out the object or objects and set the focus, click Check Out and Focus. The value Y appears in the MBOM Checked Out column, and your user ID appears in the Checked Out by User column. These values are also visible to other users. If you chose to set focus, the MBOM refreshes to indicate your selection.

Note

• Your administrator can customize the names of the Checked Out and Checked Out by User columns in the Teamcenter business modeler integrated development environment (BMIDE).

• To undo your checkout, select the part or assembly you checked out and choose Manage →Cancel Checkout .

• To check in your work when finished, choose Manage →Check In .
