Configuration Management enables you to view multiple BOMs (product structures) defined for an item. You can view indented structures of those BOMs. You can also manage attachments to those structures. Configuration Management also provides you the capability to view items where used to view an imploded list of all the items using assemblies for a specified component.

   To view structure details:

1. Use any of the search methods (simple or advanced search) within the system and locate the item in which you are interested.

2. Click the Configuration tab. You can see one or more product structures defined for the item.

3. Click the Detail icon. You can view the structure's details on the Structure Detail page.

   To view indented structures:

1. Use any of the search methods (simple or advanced search) within the system and locate the item in which you are interested.

2. Click the Configuration tab. You can see one or more product structures defined for the item.

3. Click the structure name.

4. On the Structure Components page, select the Filter and Display Option.

5. Click Go to explode the structure in the hierarchy view. You can expand or collapse portions of the indented structure.

6. View the indented structure for other structures and item revisions of this item by switching options in the quick search sandbox.

   To locate components or subassemblies in indented structures:

1. In the indented structure, click Search.

2. In the Search field, provide the search criteria and click Go.

3. Click the View in Hierarchy icon in the search results table to focus the indented structure on the selected component or subassembly.

4. Click Criteria to return to indented structure options.

   To view the structure list by item revision:

1. Locate an item that is in the structure you wish to view by clicking the "Simple Search" link in the Item menu.

2. On the item's Search Results page, click the item's name link.

3. On the Primary Attributes page for the item, click the Configuration tab.

4. On the Structures page, select the specific Item Revision you wish to view and click Go.

   Note: Each item has a specific revision (the Item Revision menu defaults to the current revision), and there is an effectivity date for each of these item revisions. Each component that is part of the item structure also has an effectivity date. As long as the component has an effectivity date that occurs on or before the date of the item revision, that component will appear in the item structure.

   To reclassify structures:

Reclassify a structure by changing the structure type. For details about this task, see: Creating Structure Types
