Using configurable products, sometimes the structure is in revision or modification process, for example have checked out objects, or some parts are in INWORK state. Then when a user try to make a new variant from configurable part, is possible to make a wrong variant.
Now is not possible to customize the com.ptc.windchill.option.generic.GenericPartValidation class to make this extra validation.
The best practice to do, is to limit the creation of a new variants to parts in a validated state, for example in RELEASED state.
