Create a BOM recipe

You can create a recipe that defines the search criteria used to automatically assign nodes from a source BOM, such as an engineering bill of materials (EBOM), to a target BOM, such as a manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM). This strategy reduces the time required to create or update an MBOM.

Prerequisites

• The MBMEnableRecipeBasedAssignments preference must be set to TRUE.

• The EBOM must be Smart Discovery indexed. For more information see Create a Smart Discovery index using Teamcenter command prompt.

Procedure

1. Search for and open a work package that contains a linked EBOM and MBOM, and navigate to the BOM Alignment page. The MBOM must be linked to an EBOM structure.

2. Enable Show Assignment State.

3. In the MBOM panel, select the part or assembly for which you will define the recipe.

4. In the Information panel, select the BOM Recipes tab. The tab displays available recipes for the selected MBOM assembly.

5. Select a recipe and in the BOM Recipes toolbar, click Create BOM Recipe .
   Tip BOM recipes can be created for a EBOM.

6. In the Create BOM Recipe panel, do the following.

                    In the Name text field, type a recipe name.
                    In the Usage Address text box, type the usage address
                            names of the parts you want to update from EBOM to MBOM, separated
                            by semicolons (;). Example 
                            
                                Copy`FLOOR MAT;CHARGER;TIRE PRESS`
                            
                        Tip 
                            Refer to the EBOM to determine exact usage
                                address names.
                        
                    Specify other attribute values to
                            be applied from EBOM to MBOM.Note 
                            
                                
                                    You must specify at least one value.
                                
                                
                                    Use the preference MBMPropertiesForRecipeDefinition to
                                        define additional recipe BOM line properties. 
                                
                            
                        
                    Click Create.In the following
                            example, the Mfg Exterior
                            assembly displays a Missing in
                                Source icon . The Auto assign Exterior recipe is
                            created, but not yet resolved, from the EBOM to the MBOM.
                
            You can now use your new recipe to auto-assign alignment from
                EBOM to MBOM.
