Search for and open a work package or CC object in Manufacturing-BOM Manager with a linked source engineering bill of materials (EBOM) and target manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) displayed on the BOM Alignment page.

Expand and contract assembly levels

In the source BOM and target BOM, select an assembly, and in the panel toolbar, click Expand →Expand Below or Collapse Below .

Note

You can also expand the structure a number of levels below a selected element.

Pack or unpack nodes one level below an assembly

Procedure

1. In the source BOM or target BOM , select an assembly.

2. In the toolbar, click Expand →Pack Below or Unpack Below.
   When you choose Pack Below, all nodes one level below the selected assembly are packed into that assembly. The number of packed lines is indicated by a number followed by the letter x. For example, 3x indicates that the packed line contains 3 packed lines below it. When you select a packed assembly and choose Unpack Below, the packed nodes expand and are displayed beneath the selected assembly.

Remove elements from the source BOM or target BOM structure
