Understanding the "Replace by Alternate Validation" Opening IDIn real-world manufacturing and product development, you often need backup parts or substitutes. These are called alternates or substitutes, and they ensure production doesn’t stop if the main part is unavailable. Now imagine you're in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and someone tries to replace a part with one of its alternates from the "Manage Alternates/Substitutes" panel. But not all substitutes are good to use right away. Some might

OverviewA Configuration Context consists of a set of dictionaries defining the criteria that can be used to configure the structure. Configuration Model, used for Configuration Context, is defined by Engineering. Manufacturing usually uses the same Configuration Model for configuring Manufacturing Structure (for example with different criteria). Manufacturing Engineer may create different BOM structure, valid for manufacturing which is not fully following assembly structure of Engineering BOM.
