Create a twin station

You can quickly create a plant bill of process (BOP) by basing it on the existing bill of equipment (BOE) within a work package. You can also create a BOE based on the existing plant BOP within a work package. This example uses an existing plant BOP to create a BOE.

When you create a twin station, Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO uses the source structure to create corresponding hierarchical levels in the target structure. In addition, plant BOP elements are mapped to plant BOE elements for you.

Note

You must have write permissions to create a plant BOP or BOE. Contact your Teamcenter administrator if you do not have the correct permissions to create a plant BOP or BOE.

You must be running Active Workspace version 5.0.1 or later and Teamcenter version 12.4.0.1 or later to use this feature.

1. Create or open a work package with a plant BOP.

2. In the Plant tile, click Add and select one of the following options:

   Generate from Plant BOP— Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO generates the BOE based on the plant BOP structure.

   Add Associated Plant BOE— Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO adds the plant BOE that is linked to the plant BOP structure. Note If the plant BOP is already linked to a plant BOE, you cannot generate a twin station. You can only add the existing linked plant BOE to the plant BOP in the work package. The plant BOP and BOE can only have a one-to-one link.

3. (Optional) In the Plant tile, click Open to review or build the BOE.
