Propagating properties from a collaborative design to an MBOM
An accountability check compares the properties on individual lines in the source and target structures. If, after assignment, the source or target structures are changed, the property values on these lines can differ, and the lines are flagged as partial matches. You can propagate the source property values to the target properties or, in this case, from the design elements to the BOM lines to which they are assigned. The list of the properties that you can propagate is contained in the Mpd0CpdBomPropagableProperties global constant. This list of properties is a subset of the properties that are compared in the accountability check and that are specified in the Mpd0CpdBomPartialMatchProperties global constant.
Note
You cannot propagate effectivity from a subset definition or design elements to an MBOM.
Although you can see the results of the propagation immediately in the structure view and the Accountability Check Results view, you cannot see them in the details. You must update the details by selecting another line and then reselecting the original line.
