Expanding structures to check

Whether or not you need to expand a target structure before running an accountability check depends on the settings of the following two preferences:

• MECopyIdInContextToAssignedLine

• MECopyIdInContextLowerLevels

Note

If there are packed lines in the source window, the accountability check may report incorrect results for the quantity of an absolute occurrence of a component that is packed to a sibling. To avoid this situation, always unpack all lines before starting an accountability check.

Expanding a structure based on closure rules also plays a role in which objects are taken into consideration in the accountability check. If you expand using a closure rule, it may have the same effect as setting an inclusion rule.
