Define PMM scope

To begin creating a BOM view revision (BVR) from Product Master Management (PMM) data in Multi-BOM Management, you must define the scope of that BVR by locating the PMM data in Teamcenter. As part of your workflow, PMM data to be imported, such as partition or subassembly names, product type, vehicle line, model name or ID, and effective in and out dates, should be provided by Multi-BOM Management.

Procedure

In Multi-BOM Management, create a new structure of the Item type.
Select the new structure and add one or more items of the Item type, naming each for the appropriate partitions it contains.
Right-click the top node in the structure and choose PMM Scope→Create/Update PMM Scope.
In the Create or Update PMM Scope dialog box, enter the required search criteria, select the appropriate package from the results, and click Create.

Results

A new icon is displayed on the top line to indicate that a PMM scope object is created and is associated with the selected node.
