View and analyze consumption status data

When you assign operations from many Teamcenter Easy Plan process pages—such as from the Process panel to the Editor panel in Work Instructions Authoring, or from a manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) to a product bill of process (BOP) in the Product BOP Authoring page—the application displays icons to indicate the assignment status of assembly items.

Note

Consumption indications are based on the line balancing scope. For example, if you are viewing a zone with 10 stations, the line balancing scope is the zone.

Procedure

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

2. Click Show Comparison .

   Assignment indication icons for consumed parts are displayed in the Parts tab in the information panel. The Show Comparison dashboard provides quick information about assignment statuses. The icons in the dashboard indicate how many parts are over consumed, and how many parts are missing in the engineering bill of materials (EBOM) source.

   If parts are missing in source, the Process tab or panel displays a red icon. The missing parts are displayed in the Missing in Source panel.

   Tip As you assign and remove objects in the structure, Teamcenter Easy Plan automatically updates consumption indication icons.

3. In the Missing in Source panel, select a part to view relevant parts in the information panel.

4. (Optional) Select an icon to review the assignment details.

5. Resolve issues within the structure.

6. (Optional) Click Show Comparison to deactivate indications for the structure.
