A supersedure is a manually created relation that graphically displays the replacement (displays components that have been removed and the components that have been added to replace them) in context of parent assembly. Supersedures are created when defining engineering change, so that replacement can be displayed later on. It can be created for changes to part number (item id of part) or for changes to quantity, but not for changes in part revision.

Structure Change & Supersedure

To establish the supersedure relationship, old item revision is manually copied to Impacted Items folder and new item revision to Solution Items folder of change revision. Right click the item revision in Solution Items folder and choose Relate Solution Item to Impacted Item, to relate the replacement information, in case of multiple solution items.

Engineering change that is defined is as follows:

Items are added to engineering change folders as follows:

• To Impacted Items folder: This contains the old revisions of parts or assembly that will be changed.
• To Solution Items folder: This contains the new revisions of parts or assembly after the change
• To Problem Items folder: This contains the part or assembly that is causing the change.

Steps to create structure change

• Solution Item sent to structure manager from change manager
• 100523/A component is deleted and 100456/A and 100726/A components are added
• Changes saved.
• Split window displays the component that has been deleted in red in right pane.
• Components that are added is displayed in blue in left pane
• Supersedure created.

In the example above, two components 100456/A and 100726/A replaces 100523/A and the supersedure is created for this change record.

Supersedures view in the bottom pane

From Change Manager, send the impacted item to Structure Manager. Click on Supersedure Environment to display Supersedure folder in the bottom pane with folders for additions and removal of components.

Adds folder

Displays addition of components to assembly.

Cancels folder

Displays deletion of components from the assembly.

For the same impacted item, a different supersedure can be viewed by selecting a different problem item.

Viewing in Supersedure Tab

Through supersedure, a graphical representation of a replacement history can be viewed for a given occurrence in the product structure. As illustrated in above example, two added parts replace one cancelled component, making a replacement. For a selected line, supersedure can be viewed and managed in Supersedure tab of Show/Hide data pane as shown below:

.

Current Context of parent assembly is 100411/A

Part having supersedure in context to different parent assembly

A part can be used in more than one assembly and each assembly has its own supersedures w.r.t. the same part. Supersedure pane shows the supersedure of selected component in context of current assembly.

When Part with supersedure is moved/removed from Product

The part can also be used in different top-level products. If this part is removed or moved, then the supersedure that existed with this part will now show a red line over the component node.

Example, if part 1000523 is removed /moved from its top level product:

To display red line, set useProductList.FLAG=true in java\com\teamcenter\rac\pse\genealogy\genealogy_user.properties files.

Creating Transfer Supersedure

Transfer supersedure is created when a component is moved from one assembly to the other, where one assembly should be sub-assembly of the other. Representation of transfer supersedure is displayed in supersedure pane as:

Transfer of component from one assembly to the other and the associated change to create transfer supersedure is as shown in this example. Here component 100594/A is moved from subassembly to parent assembly.

Steps to create above transfer supersedure:

1. From Change Manager, send the subassembly, impacted item 100592/A to Structure Manager.
   1. Delete the component 100594/A from the subassembly in the structure manager.
   2. Save changes
2. From Change Manager, send the parent assembly, impacted item 100589/A to Structure Manager
   1. Paste the component 100594/A to parent assembly
   2. Save the changes.
   3. Select the subassembly 100592/A in right pane of displayed split window.
3. Click on Transfer to create Transfer Supersedure.

Supersedure Symbols

For different structure changes, different supersedures can be created. Graphical symbols representing the different supersedures of different structure changes is as follows:
