Configure Manufacturing-BOM Manager

Manufacturing-BOM Manager uses these preferences, which are defined in Manufacturing Process Planner, for configuration:

• The MEAlignedPropertiesList preference allows engineering bill of materials (EBOM) parts to be assigned to a manufacturing BOM (MBOM) with the Assign Parts Selected in EBOM command. You can configure the item properties that are carried over to the MBOM upon assignment. See the Teamcenter Manufacturing Process Planner documentation on the Support Center for preference details.

• The MBMEnableStructureSearch preference allows end users to search for parts and assemblies in an engineering bill of materials (EBOM) or a manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM). To activate the Find command in the EBOM-MBOM Alignment window and enable structure searches in Manufacturing-BOM Manager, you must add the MBMEnableStructureSearch preference to the AWC_StartupPreferences in Teamcenter.

• The MEIdGenerationPropertySetting and MEIdGenerationOnAssignEnabled preferences ensure that in-context IDs (IDICs) and smart IDIC configuration are honored for parts between the EBOM and MBOM. See the Administering Manufacturing Planning documentation on the Support Center for preference details.

• The MEEffectivityAssignmentMode and MEAlignedPropertiesList preferences allow for occurrence effectivity in the EBOM to carry over to the MBOM. If the parent of a line in the EBOM that is getting assigned to the MBOM has a occurrence effectivity applied, that effectivity is carried over to the MBOM. See the Administering Manufacturing Planning documentation on the Support Center for preference details.

• The Rollup_Variant_Feature and MEAlignedPropertiesList preferences allow for variant formulas in the EBOM to carry over to the MBOM. If the parent of a line in the EBOM that is getting assigned to the MBOM has a variant formula applied, that formula is carried over to the MBOM. See the Teamcenter Manufacturing Process Planner and Administering Manufacturing Planning documentation on the Support Center for preference details.
