PMM data flow in Manufacturing Process Planner
You can generate and update a BOM view revision (BVR) structure using the Product Master Management (PMM) solve recipe in Manufacturing Process Planner and then use the BVR structure to generate an MBOM in Manufacturing Process Planner. The solve is a tool to identify all the part usages for an order string that meet specified criteria and to present those usages as a single unit product master.
You must update the BVR if:
The PMM scope or recipe is changed.
A versionable property of a part, line of usage (LOU), or solution is changed.
A nonversionable property of a part, LOU, or solution is changed.
A new LOU or solution is found in the query.
