Administering the import and export of manufacturing structures

Configuring the export of end item assemblies

When using PLM XML export and the bomwriter utility, the export of lines under end item assemblies is controlled by closure rules. If you want to suppress the export of the lines under an end item assembly, apply conditional clauses to the closure rule clause that traverses from parent line to child lines. Ensure that there are no other overlapping clauses that export the children. The conditional clause impacts the objects that are exported. For example, in the following structure:

Top
Sub/A
EndItem/A
Child1/A
Child2/A
Child3/A
  • If you want to export Top and Sub and suppress everything from the EndItem level (including EndItem), use the following conditional clause: CopySECONDARY.fnd0bl_is_mono_override!= "1"

  • If you want to export Top, Sub, and EndItem and suppress everything below the EndItem level (but not EndItem), use the following conditional clause: CopyPRIMARY.fnd0bl_is_mono_override!= "1"

The following is an example of a complete closure rule clause:

Copy

CLASS.BOMLine:CLASS.BOMLine:PROPERTY.bl_child_lines:PROCESS+ TRAVERSE:PRIMARY.fnd0bl_is_mono_override != "1"
