Question

Bom Split Balloon Issue

  • June 3, 2015

I have created a BOM table with repeat region, and given user defined parameters.

for example, I have replaced rpt.qty with ABC_QTY.

if asm_mbr_name == "P123456-002"

ABC_IDX = "0001"

ABC_DESC = "<DRAWING TITLE>"

ABC_QTY = "A/R"

ABC_PRT_NO = asm_mbr_name

and i have created custom balloon with ABC_IDX as index and ABC_QTY as qty.

So when i create the balloons for the first time it's working fine.

For this custom symbol split functionality is not working properly.

i.e if ABC_QTY = 2, then split balloons also have 2 as quantity in both the parts,

different behavior from creo's, which will split the quantity and both the balloon will have 1 as quantity.

Please suggest some solution, how to tackle this issue.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers!!

The split QTY is only going to work correctly if you are using rpt.qty. The software doesn't know that your ABC_QTY parameter is the quantity of the part.

Okay. But is there a way to assign my ABC_QTY to rpt.qty of creo? some configuration or something like that?

You can't change rpt.qty. It is defined by the software and there is no way to over ride it. The way we handle what you are trying to do is to assign an alternate symbol for the A/R balloons. The rpt.qty would then get changed in a new balloon symbol to text that reads A/R. Then you replace in the drawing as needed with the alternate balloon.

Similar to what you are looking for:

This is just a partial extract.  We only change to make the output to A/R, otherwise the rpt.qty=bom_qty

No affect to the standard split balloon.

In our Bom relation:

/*****QTY TO AR*****
/* ASSIGN THE MODEL NAME AND QUANTITY TO PARAMETERS
bom_qty=rpt_qty
bom_name=asm_mbr_name
bom_nomen=""

/* IF BLANK IN QTY PERSISTS AFTER CHANGING BOM TO RELATION, NAME MAY BE TOO SHORT - ADD SPACES
/*if bom_name=="SP3-12"
/* bom_name="SP3-12  "
/*ENDIF

/*GET FIRST THREE CHARACTERS OF PART NAME
name_check=EXTRACT(bom_name,1,3)

/*CHANGE QUANTITY TO AR IF PART CODE INDICATES BULK ITEM
IF name_check=="119"
bom_qty="AR"
ENDIF

IF name_check=="M76"

bom_name="M76MWPC207A9"

bom_qty="AR"

ENDIF

/*SPECIAL CASES

IF bom_name=="795-0525"

bom_qty="AR"

ENDIF

IF bom_name=="M23053-5-109-0"

bom_qty="AR"

ENDIF

* REMEMBER TO CHANGE TABLE RELATION Qty. TO

/* rpt.rel.bom_qty   (rpt > rel > USER DEFINED > type in "bom_qty")

    This works for the standard balloon (because it still uses the rpt.qty) and updates the BOM table, but it will not work for a custom balloon that doesn't use rpt.qty
