Plant BOP prerequisites and data requirements

Production Process Planning runs on top of Active Workspace and must be connected to a Teamcenter database. See the the Active Workspace Deployment documentation for details.

• Access to data is controlled by a user ID assigned to each user. The user ID grants access to portions of the database based on the user’s assigned groups and roles. A Teamcenter administrator must set up the user ID prior to using Production Process Planning.

• You can author data in the Teamcenter rich client as well as Production Process Planning. Plant BOP data created in the Teamcenter rich client can be used seamlessly in Production Process Planning, as long as the required object hierarchy is followed. Based on your business processes, Production Process Planning data can include product, process, plant, and production program information, or you may begin with an empty database.

• To assign parts to operations in Production Process Planning, you must have one product structure in the work package.

• To assign tools to operations in Production Process Planning, you must have one plant structure in the work package. You must also use Manufacturing Process Planner to assign the station from the plant structure to the process station in the plant BOP before you assign tools to operations.
