If you Enable "Allow Multiple Revisions" in Customer Defaults there is an additional option "Replace all Components in Session" when doing "Save As New Item" in NX Teamcenter Integration.
When this option is disabled and you make a component of an assembly the work part and do the "Save As New Item" the Item is created in background. You have access to it about "Add Assembly" or "Change Displayed Part" It is not add to the Window menu unless it is made "Displayed Part".
