Variant rules

Starting in Teamcenter Easy Plan 2406, end users can save global or local variant rules while working in the BOM Alignment, High Level Planning, and Process Planning pages within Teamcenter Easy Plan.

The EP_SVROwningItemAllowedTypes preference defines the object types on which end users can save a local variant rule in Teamcenter Easy Plan.

This preference is passed as a string property and accepts multiple values delimited by colons (:) in the following format: Mfg0BvrObjectType.

The default value is Mfg0BvrProcessLine.

End users can save variant rules on objects in the following structures:

• Manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM)

• Plant bill of process (BOP)

• Classic BOP

• Custom object types

Note

We recommend defining types that represent a project or an order, for example a process line or a process zone, and not common types like an operation or a process.

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

See Working with preferences in Active Workspace for a description of preferences and how to set them.
