The secondary area of the Authoring section provides commands for using manufacturing processes.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Managing Manufactured Item-Product Scope
Flyout for Managing Assignments and Links
Flyout for Relations


	Create Manufactured Item-Product Scope See Flyout for Managing Manufactured Item-Product Scope.


	Insert Group Inserts a group of manufactured items. Select a manufactured item to create an empty group as predecessor. Drag and drop manufactured items to the group. See Managing Groups


	Assignment Manager See Flyout for Managing Assignments and Links.


	Relations See Flyout for Relations


	Attributes Allows browsing and modifying object attributes. Select an object to browse or modify its attributes.


	Create Precedence Constraint Creates a precedence constraint between two manufactured items. A precedence constraint connects two sibling manufactured items. The first manufactured item completes before the second item can start. See Creating Precedence Constraints Between Items


	Requirement Browser Browses existing requirements. The Requirement Browser lets you manage: the specification link between a manufactured item or operation and a group of requirements and the requirements assignments. See Managing Requirements


	Shows Assigned Items Only Shows only those objects assigned to a manufactured item, and hides others. Select the manufactured item whose assigned objects you want to view. See Product to Item Assignments


	Manage Alternates Lets you Author and navigate alternates of manufactured items. An alternate is a relationship that links two manufactured item references. A manufactured item reference: Define as an alternate for one or more manufactured items references defined as alternate and can have a complete child-manufacturing assembly structure. See Using the Alternates and Substitutes Management Panel


	Manage Origins Assigns or removes origin links on manufactured items, systems, operations, or resources. Places an origin link between objects of the same type and lets you determine from which object is the origin of the selected. See Using the Manage Origins Panel


	Issue Management Lets you create and assign issues, and view existing ones directly from the Application. From the tree or from the 3D view, select an object. See Reporting Issues.

Flyout for Managing Manufactured Item-Product Scope


	Create Item-Product Scope Creates an Item-Product scope. Select a reference item and a reference product. The created scope link delimits the subset of the product structure implements the item. See Creating an Item-Product Scope


	Create Item-Product Scope from Search Creates an Item-Product scope by searching a product. Select a reference item. Select a reference product using the Search box in the top barto create the scope link See Creating an Item-Product Scope

Flyout for Managing Assignments and Links


	Assignment Manager Manages assignments such as: products to a selected item items to a selected operation resources and detailing task to a selected operation operations and detailing tasks to a selected resource requirements to a selected item or operation. In the Assignment Manager panel, use the arrow buttons to assign or unassign PPR objects on the selected object. See Managing Object Assignments


	Assembly Assignment Assistant Defining an Item-System scope, the System Assignment Assistant you can use to assign items to operations. It is possible to assign, unassign, and reassign items. See Using the System Assignment Assistant

Flyout for Relations


	Relations Displays the selected object's relations with other objects in the current session. The panel displays relations such as scope links, implement links, and data requirements. It also displays precedence constraints, product flows, and time constraints. See Listing Related Objects in the Relations Panel


	Sheet Editor View and edit the properties of multiple objects in a spreadsheet view. See Using the Sheet Editor


	Filter PPR Content Filters PPR content based on predefined configurations. The PPR Configuration Filtering panel lets you filter content in root products, manufactured items, systems, and resources that have predefined configurations. See Using the Filter PPR Content Command


	Tree Reordering Reorders objects in the tree. See Reordering Objects in the Tree.


	Order by Sequence Sorts operations and systems in the tree and Gantt chart by taking into account their sequencing. Select a system (the root system, for example). The structure of the selected system reorders according to the begin times of the operations. See Ordering by Sequence
