Manufacturing Process Planner general functionality > Comparing structures and propagating changes > Propagating changes

Propagate properties from a source to a target structure

Procedure

Run an accountability check.

When running the accountability check prior to propagating, you can choose multiple targets, but only one source.

(Optional) Change the propagation settings.

Choose Tools→Accountability Check→Propagation Settings.Teamcenter displays the Propagation Settings dialog box with the Properties tab open. The list of properties displayed in this pane is comprised of all the properties that you selected in the accountability check but with the read-only properties removed.Your administrator can add additional properties to the list, even if they are not writable, by modifying the MEAdditionalPropagatableProperties preference.

Note The Propagation Settings menu command is available only if the accountability check contains a partial match.

On the Properties tab, remove any properties you do not want to propagate.

To manually hide or show the propagation of rolled-up variant conditions when comparing an engineering BOM to a manufacturing BOM, select Consider values of rolled up variant condition when searching for a partial match.

You can hide the propagation of rolled up variant conditions even if the Rollup_Variant_Feature is set to true.

On the Relations tab, modify the relations to be propagated.

Do one of the following:

Select a partial match in the Target section of the Accountability Check view and choose Tools→Accountability Check→Propagate.

Right-click a partial match in the Target section of the Accountability Check view and choose Propagate.

To propagate a line that is missing in the source or target, you must run the propagation on the parent line with the hierarchy option turned on. When propagating quantity in packed lines, Teamcenter propagates the quantity that is actually typed in per packed line.
