Use the following steps to define a Latest configuration specification:
1. Click the Edit Filter icon in the Structure tab toolbar. The Edit Filter window is displayed.
2. Select the Configuration Specification tab.
3. Select Latest from the Choose a Type drop-down list. The filter criteria are displayed.
4. Enter values in the following criteria fields:

The selected part version must satisfy all specified filter criteria.
Filter Criteria
Description
View
Select a part structure view from the drop-down list. The selected part version must be in the selected view or a parent view in the view hierarchy. For example, if you select “Manufacturing,” and a part does not have a version in the Manufacturing view, the latest version in the parent view (such as Design) will be displayed.
The structure views available at your site are defined by your Windchill system administrator.
BOM Type
Select a BOM Type from the drop-down list. Standard choices include:
Production
Testing
Costing
The selected part version must be of the selected BOM Type or its parent BOM Type.
BOM Type only appears when Windchill MPMLink is installed.
Alternate BOM
Select an Alternate BOM number from the drop-down list. The selected part version must be in one of the alternate BOMs.
Alternate BOM only appears when Windchill MPMLink is installed.
Life Cycle State
Select a life cycle state from the drop-down list. The life cycle states are for the top assembly and are listed in the order that they are defined from least to most mature. The selected part version must match the chosen life cycle state.
5. Select Include Work In Progress to include working part versions that you have checked out in the filtered structure.
* 
Only your working part versions will be included. Working part versions checked out by others can not be included in the filtered part structure using this option.
6. Click Add to include the new configuration specification filter in the To Be Applied table in the right pane. Position the new configuration specification filter in the desired order using the up and down arrows to the right of the table.
7. Click OK to dismiss the Edit Filter window and filter the part structure.
The part structure is refreshed to display part versions satisfying the added configuration specification filter criteria. Where possible the expansion state of the part structure will be preserved.
