View and analyze net effectivity cases for parts

You can compare effectivity between an assembly and its consumed parts to identify and correct any net effectivity mismatches between the bill of materials (BOM) and the bill of process (BOP).

Prerequisites

You must set the MEAccountabilityCheckEnableNetEffectivity preference value to true and the MEDelegatedOccurrenceProperties preference value to bl_occ_effectivity. In addition, you must add the MEAccountabilityCheckEnableNetEffectivity preference and the MEDelegatedOccurrenceProperties preference to the AWC_StartupPreferences in the Teamcenter rich client.

See the Preferences section in the Active Workspace Administration documentation for a description of preferences and how to set them.

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 next to items in the Assembly panel. Note Teamcenter Easy Plan displays assignment indication icons for consumed parts and their effectivities. As you assign and remove objects in the structure, Teamcenter Easy Plan automatically updates the indication icons.

3. (Optional) Hover over an icon to display net effectivity details for the part.

   —Between the BOM and the BOP, net effectivity matches.
   
   
   —Inside the scope of the current assembly, net effectivity does not match.
   
   
   —Between the BOM and the BOP outside the scope of the current assembly, net effectivity matches.
   
   
   —Outside the scope of the current assembly, net effectivity does not match.
   

4. (Optional) Click on an icon to find information about where the part is consumed.

5. (Optional) Resolve issues within the structure.

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