Changing components

Any modification you make to the product structure changes the BOM view revision in the parent assembly. Modifications that change the BOM view include adding, deleting, or substituting components; adding a substitute component; or changing any of the occurrence attributes, for example, a note or find number.

You must have write access to the BOM view revision to make such modifications. You may not have write access for one of several reasons, including:

• Another user is modifying the BOM view revision and the changes are not yet saved. In this case, Teamcenter displays an error message, stating who is currently modifying the BOM view revision.

• The BOM view revision is protected against write access, for example, because it is released.

You can create a new view type by choosing the Save command in two situations:

• To create a new view type, based on an existing view within the same item revision.

• To make a copy of a view into another item revision.

When you choose File→Save As for a selected item revision, Teamcenter creates a physical copy of the BOM view revision.
