Find in other enterprise BOP structures

The Find command functions on enterprise bill of process structures. You can select a line in a generic, product, or plant bill of process (BOP) and find all lines with the same origin in other enterprise BOP structures. You can use this menu command on processes and operations but not on consumed items.

If you use the Disconnect menu command to remove the origin link between structures, the Find command no longer finds the other structure.

Select a line in a BOP structure and choose Find→Find in All Visible Views from the shortcut menu. Alternatively, you can choose Find and select a specific view from the list of open views (for example, Find→Find in Selected View).

Teamcenter highlights all lines sharing a common origin in the specified views.

Note

• From a plant BOP, Teamcenter shows only matching objects from the product BOP and not the generic BOP.

• When searching from a generic BOP to a plant BOP, by default, Teamcenter searches by in-context ID (IDIC). If it does not locate the IDIC value it prompts you to search by item ID, which in some cases may not be helpful. To search by alternate values, you or your administrator can create a string preference named METypesIgnoredForFindByItemId and add values such as Mfg0BvrOperation or Mfg0BvrProcess to suppress the item id search prompt.
