In a structure, how can I manage mismatches in lifecycle phase?

To manage the lifecycle phase for a structure type, use the Enable Lifecycle Phase option available in the Manage Item Structure Type task.

To access the Manage Item Structure Type task, navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area. Select the Product Management Offering, and Structures functional area.

Select the Enable Lifecycle Phase option to manually correct any mismatches in lifecycle phase. Deselect the option to allow creation of item structures with components at a lower lifecycle phase than the parent item.

The changes you make to the Enable Lifecycle Phase option don't impact existing structures. For such structures you must manually correct the mismatches in lifecycle phase.
