Verify MBOM consumption of many parts

To reassign all or some parts to another operation, you can quickly validate where the parts were originally consumed, select the parts to be reassigned using the 3D viewer, and reassign them to another operation.

You may sometimes be responsible for assigning a large quantity of parts, such as hundreds of rivets, to an operation. You can also assign previously unassigned parts to an operation at the same time.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open an existing work package and navigate to the Process Planning or Work Instructions Authoring page.

2. In the Assembly tab or panel, click Show to display the parts to be reviewed. Tip Click next to an assembly to view all parts in that assembly.
   The parts are displayed in the 3D viewer.

3. In the upper-left corner of the page, select Show Comparison.

      In the Assembly tab or panel, in
        the Assignment State column, an assignment status icon is displayed
        next to each part that is assigned to one or more operations.
   

4. Click the assignment icon next to each part to determine the operations to which each part is assigned.

      If you are working on the Work Instructions Authoring page, in the Editor panel, each operation you select is highlighted, and in the Parts tab on the information panel beneath the editor, the part you selected is highlighted.
      If you are working on the Process Planning page, in the Process panel, each operation you select is highlighted, and in the Parts tab on the information panel beneath the process panel, the part you selected is highlighted.
   

5. In the 3D viewer, click Select by Rectangle and select the multiple parts that you want to assign or reassign to another operation. The parts selected in the 3D viewer are also selected in the Assembly tab or panel.

6. In the Assembly toolbar, select More → Manage Consumption . In the Assembly tab or panel, the selected parts are displayed in a filtered list. Any operations in which the parts are assigned are displayed in the Consumed In column, with commas separating each operation to which the parts are assigned.
