Designing process structure > Associating product and process structures
Assign a product with a specific occurrence type
Do one of the following:
- Assign using Copy and Paste As.
Right-click a part revision in a structure view and choose Copy, or click the Copy button on the toolbar.
In the process pane, select the top-level process to be assigned to the part selected in the product pane and choose Paste As and one of the occurrence types listed, depending on the purpose of your assignment. If you assign as MEConsumed, Teamcenter establishes the link between a part and the process when the part is consumed in an assembly operation. A consumed item is required during a manufacturing process or operation. If you assign as MEWorkpiece, Teamcenter establishes the link between the workpiece and a process or operation. A workpiece can represent an intermediate state of the product during the manufacturing process. Note The occurrence types available to you are determined by your administrator using the MEDisplayOccurrenceType preference.
- Change the occurrence type in the Occurrence Type column.
