Managing process structure data > Running accountability checks
Understanding line equivalence
When comparing product and process, the standard accountability check comparison is based on the assignments between the structures. When comparing two process structures, Teamcenter additionally uses the in-context ID and any common assignments to the same product to determine equivalence. Because the accountability check is based on the assign action, it does not compare by item ID and does not recognize if a line is copied from another structure or from the Newstuff folder.
