BoM Table quantities

[cdown]

Guru's,
I seam to recall there was a way of putting in a relation or
something into a part or bulk item to change the BoM table quantity

I have searched but am unable to find the thread, does anyone re-call this
or know the answer?

Using WF3 M250

Many thanks

Here is what I use for relations. If the item is a bulk item the relation adds AR for the quantity. I also have a few lines that can be copied if you need to specify a specific number You just need to enter the actual model and the quantity for the values in the quotes (quotes are also removed). You would copy and replace for each item that needs a unique number. Naturally this is done in the table relations.

if ASM_MBR_TYPE == "BULK ITEM"
QTY= "AR"
ELSE
QTY= rpt_qty
endif
if ASM_MBR_NAME == "Enter_Model_Number"
QTY= "Enter required number or rpt_qty"
Endif

That's a nice way, but as with all of ProE there is another alternative way. You may find this has more flexibility, but it involves having another parameter in your parts. In this case the new user defined parameter is called bom_qty_type.



How to change the BOM qty to AR?

/* Relations to set bom qty per BOM_QTY_TYPE model parameter

if asm_mbr_bom_qty_type == "AR" | asm_mbr_bom_qty_type == "NA"\

| asm_mbr_bom_qty_type == "ALT"

bom_qty=asm_mbr_bom_qty_type

ELSE

bom_qty=rpt_qty

ENDIF



There is a video and some sample files in my ProE Admin 101 talk. Look at page 67

And another way to accomplish it.



Create a parameter in the model called BOM_QTY. It can be an Integer,
Real Number or String. In your Table show RPT.REL.SHOW_QTY.



Then for your table relations...



IF EXISTS ("ASM_MBR_BOM_QTY")

SHOW_QTY=BOM_QTY

ELSE

SHOW_QTY=RPT_QTY

ENDIF

For Bulk Items the parameter BOM_REPORT_QUANTITY is used to define the
quantity as a real number. Units can be handled by report parameters and
relations.

In an assembly drawing I have step by step instructions using simplified reps and exploded views. In back to back steps I have the same part being added, so in the step before everything is fine because the second part is not in the rep yet, but the next rep has both parts, and I want the BOM to only list the quantity at 1, rather than 2. I want the part that was added before to stay in the rep for clarity, but don't know how to have the BOM changed. Hopefully the picture below helps explain.

Thank You,

Have you looked at Pro/Process? It is designed to do exactly that (and
manage specific exploded views for each step) and isn't hard to pick up.
Do some digging in the help files or the knowledge base and you should
be up and running.
