Managing variants
Test product configuration
Before working with the manufacturing view of a product, you may want to test the product is completely authored. To do this, set all option values for the relevant variant of the module, select each lower-level module (possibly starting at the lowest-level modules), and check that all the option values are set correctly.
Procedure
Select the BOM line representing a module and choose Tools→Variants→Configure.Teamcenter displays the Configuration dialog box, allowing you to confirm all the option values are set.
Repeat the previous step for each module in turn. The Configuration dialog box is updated dynamically, and it is not necessary to redisplay it each time you select a new module.
If any lower level module is not completely configured, see the Structure Management on Rich Client ─ Usage for information about how to define further constraints in the higher level modules or present lower level options to the top level module, as required.
