Assigning a design component from a product design into an MBOM structure

To help you build a manufacturing bill of materials, you can assign design components from a product design into a product structure representing the MBOM. To help you with this process, there is a dedicated 4GD-MBOM Reconciliation perspective. You can open this perspective using all the usual methods.

You can only assign in one direction (from a product design into an MBOM) within a collaboration context or a subset definition to MBOM lines representing parts in a BOM view revision-based product structure. The source object can only be one of the following:

• Shape design component

• Reuse design component

• Subordinate design component

You cannot assign a promissory design component (that does not yet have a shape design or item underneath) to an MBOM.

Caution

Although Teamcenter allows you to assign a subordinate design component that is not contained in the subset definition recipe to an MBOM, do not do so as this subordinate design component displays as Missing in source when running an accountability check.

After assigning, the BOM lines containing design components function as any BOM lines in Multi-BOM Management with regards to secondary views that you can open or commands that may be run on them. For reuse or subordinate design components, the assigned BOM lines display the item revision symbol.

Shape design components assigned to BOM lines display the shape item symbol.

You can assign using any of the following methods.

• Drag and drop or copy and paste Teamcenter creates a new BOM line for the assigned design component, as well as for any subordinate design component that the design component has.

• Paste As menu command The behavior of the Paste As command is similar to the drag and drop behavior but additionally allows you to specify an occurrence type.

• Paste Special menu command You can paste a design component only as a component of a selected assembly. You can use the Paste Special command to specify the number of occurrences, quantity per occurrence, and the find number, as well as the occurrence type.

You can assign the same design components several times within an MBOM structure. Each assignment creates a separate BOM line that is linked to the original design component.

Note

You cannot assign design components that are checked out.
