Managing part BOMs

Run a part BOM accountability check

To validate completeness between your part BOM and design BOM, you should run an advanced accountability check on a regular basis and as your workflow requires.

Note

Completeness checks are not supported.

Procedure

Select the root BOM line of the design BOM and then the part BOM, and choose Tools→Accountability Check→Advanced Accountability Check.
In the Advanced Accountability Check dialog box, on the Scope tab, ensure the top lines are correct.
Click the Inclusion Rules tab and select Search lines per filtering rule.
From the Source filtering rule and Target filtering rule lists, select DesignToBomAll.

Note Your administrator may create another option specific to your process.

Click the Partial Match tab and BOM Properties subtab, and add the properties Design Revision, Find No. Absolute Transformation Matrix, and ID in Context (Top Level)

Caution When you create a BOM from a part BOM, if the assigned parts do not copy the absolute transform matrix bl_plmxml_abs_xform properties over to the new BOM, you must define separate business object types for MBOM containers. If this is not possible, ensure that the is_designrequired property is set to false for all MBOM containers.

Apply any additional advanced accountability check settings that are required by your organization.
Click OK to run the accountability check.

The check should report no nonequivalent lines, only a missing in source and missing in target alert for the top BOM lines, which should not match. If any alignments are incorrect, update or remove them.
