Reporting the check result in occurrence groups

Alternatively to reporting the accountability check results in colors, Teamcenter can report anomalies in occurrence groups that are displayed in an additional tab in the structure pane. These occurrence groups are stored as persistent objects in the database.

If you compare the base view of the entire product structure or a subassembly, the accountability check searches for every BOM line in the process plan. If you compare the manufacturing view of the product or a subassembly, the check only searches for a line in the process plan if the line's direct parent is an occurrence group. In the manufacturing view, if the BOM line's direct parent is not an occurrence group, you must allocate it to the view as a component of a subassembly in the original EBOM. For example, component C is part of subassembly A in the EBOM, while subassembly A is assigned to the manufacturing view under occurrence group G. Consequently, C also appears in the manufacturing view under A, then under G. The direct parent of A is an occurrence group, while the direct parent of C is A, which is not an occurrence group. When you compare structures, the utility searches for A but not for C. Typically, if you did not allocate to the manufacturing view, you would not expect to consume it in the process.

The scope of the comparison depends on the selections you made in the Accountability Check dialog box, as described in Run an advanced accountability check.

Note

You cannot display the accountability check results in occurrence groups if you are using the enterprise BOP feature.
