I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 12.0 and Datecode with CPS 12.0.2.9

We use configurable products to created variant part numbers, also creating a variant specification. When releasing the variant part we would like to release the variant specification as well. What is the best practice / idea how to release a variant specification together with the variant part(s)? I tried to find a solution using a collector, but this seems not to be possible. Looking for a efficient way of working

    Hello Arjen,

     

    It's Fadel again,  there is no way to do this with collectors  in stock Windchill (Maybe with configurable links but not sure ).

    The best way to workaround this is to  to copy the VS to clipboard, release the Variant module  and then paste the VS from clipboard to the affected/resulting objects table (same should work for set state and Revise).
