Validating effectivity

You should check that effectivity ranges are consistent within the whole structure, ensuring that effectivity ranges lower down the structure lie within ranges higher up. You may not be aware of the constraints higher up the structure when you initially specify effectivity ranges at lower levels.

Teamcenter does not perform this validation automatically but you can include it as part of a workflow process that approves the effectivity ranges. In certain cases, this validation may not be appropriate, for example, when the structure is shared between different products.
