Set up Multi-Structure Manager to use allocations

Siemens Digital Industries Software recommends that you create a collaboration context containing structure contexts representing each of the product representations that you want to associate with allocations. The advantage to doing this is that you automatically save the product configuration of each representation with the collaboration context so that when you reopen it, you have the same state that you had when creating the allocations.

Procedure

1. Create a new collaboration context of type CCObject.Caution Do not use the MECollaborationContext type as this does not support the creation of allocations.

2. For each product representation that you have for your product, create a structure context.

3. In My Teamcenter, copy the root items for each product representation and paste them into the structure contexts in Multi-Structure Manager.
