Query in regards to a BOM in a Creo drawing

[psimha]

Hello,

I have a Creo 2.0 drawing in which a BOM is defined for an assembly. The BOM has components stated from Sl# 01 to Sl# 20. We need to change the serial numbering now from Sl# 600 to SL# 620 for the same drawing.

Is there any way of acheiving this. Request you to revert.

Best regards,

Simha

Please note that, the BOM generated is an auto generated BOM and is not a manually entered BOM.

You probably need to create a custom repeat region where you convert the find number by adding 600 (if numeric) or prefixing a 6 (if string).

You can always make a simple table that does not auto-populate.  I still find this easier in most cases.

Hello Antonius,

Thanks for your reply. If you can quicky attach the steps that are to be followed, it would be of a great help.

I was able to simply prefix the variable with the number 6...  Highlight the first cell, right click, and select properties.

The dialog in the image should show up.  Add the 6  before the &rpt.index.

I suspect this will be problematic when it reaches 2 digits.  Beyond this tip, I am not familiar enough to guide you through more advanced means of using repeat regions.

Hi Antonius,

Thanks a ton.

If that answered your question, don't forget to mark it as correct for those that read the thread in the future. (Actually - Antonius' answer - but thanks.)

Thanks, Dale

I don't know that it is the "correct" answer, Dale.  It is an option.

I suspect it falls flat when you have more than 9 components.

My test assembly only had 7.

You probably have to manipulate the rpt.index number in a new column to add a value to the index number.

That - I don't know how to do.  Hopefully someone does.

I was going by the fact that he had said thanks to you specifically. Thanks for the clarification.

Here's how I would do it:  I would create a BOM relation (repeat region relation) that adds 600 to the original index value, and then display the new value in the BOM:

The report parameters in this table are:

&rpt.index

&rpt.rel.NEWNUM

&asm.mbr.name

&rpt.qty

You can delete the first column after you get this going.

There you go!    I knew it could be done, just didn't know how exactly.  Thanks JLG!
