Resequence a process in the PERT chart

The sequence of processes in the process structure are represented by find numbers. Find numbers are assigned according to the predecessor relationships between the children. Children with no predecessor are all assigned the same starting find number. Children with the same predecessor are all assigned the same number—the number of the predecessor plus a defined increment. Children with multiple predecessors are assigned the highest predecessor's find number plus the defined increment.

Note

To see the find numbers in the user interface, add the Find No. column.

Procedure

Do one of the following:

Click on the PERT toolbar.

Choose Tools→Re-Sequence Structure.

Teamcenter displays the Re-Sequence Structure dialog box.

Type a start number and increment, then click OK. Teamcenter changes the line find numbers and the order of the children in the structure pane according to your entries.
To resequence the child processes, operations, and activities of the current structure, select Include Descendants.
To resequence the lines in the structure without taking the flows into consideration using the process flow viewer, clear the Consider flows check box. Note The resequence action does not work in the case of cyclical links.

Results

The resequence feature is applicable only to the process or work area PERT chart. If you open the PERT view on an activity, the resequence button on the toolbar is unavailable.
