Customize BOM alignment labels

You can customize source and target structure labels on the BOM Alignment page.

Source and target structures can be made generic to any two BOM types to be aligned, but are by default labeled engineering bill of materials (

EBOM

) and manufacturing bill of materials (

MBOM

). Based on the object type of either structure's root node, you can use mapping to show custom names for commands, tool tips, and other related elements.

Prerequisites

You must create a text dataset for the EBOM and add the UID of this dataset as a value to the preference

EP_StructureTypeToDisplayNameDataset

.

Procedure

1. Create a text dataset in Teamcenter and add a .json file in the following format as a named reference for the dataset.
   Copy{ "Ebom": { "Default": "Display Name - EBOM", "Design": "Design BOM", "Item": "Engineering BOM", "Part": "Part BOM" }, "Mbom": { "Default": "Display Name - MBOM", "Item": "Manufacturing BOM", "Mfg0MfgAssembly": "Manufacturing Assembly BOM", "Part": "Part MBOM" } }

2. Add the UID of this dataset as a value for the preference EP_StructureTypeToDisplayNameDataset.

3. Log on to Teamcenter Easy Plan and create a new work package. Note The default display name for the labels can be configured as in the .json file example above.If the "Default": "Display Name - EBOM and "Default": "Display Name - MBOM lines are not added to the .json file, then the Manage Work Package page initially displays the labels Source BOM and Target BOM.

4. Create or add the BOM structures. The panel headers change according to the object types you add and the strings you define in the mapping file. In this example, the values for Ebom→Item and Mbom→Item (Engineering BOM and Manufacturing Assembly BOM, respectively) replace the default Easy Plan values, EBOM and MBOM.
