Relations between BOM tables

[Mel603]

I have large assembly drawings that we show the sequence of assembly with various exploded views. We have the full BOM which is usually set to the master simple rep, this has all parts, hardware in the assembly. we also have many assembly steps which I have been making by an saved exploded view with corresponding simple rep (to hide everything not needed for that particular assembly step). Normally in the drawing I show the master rep for the view and use component display to turn off the unwanted parts. This allows me to create associated balloons to the BOM. What I want to do is find a way to create a BOM for each simple rep (exploded assembly step view) and have the item numbers the same as the full BOM (master rep). I don't know if this is possible by writing some sort of relation that looks at the part number in the master and then assigns that item number in the other BOM's of different rep's. I've done a bit of relations writing but this is outside my comfort zone. I can't help but think that if this is possible  someone has already created it. Any help would be appreciated. Also any help in pointing me towards some good relations writing learning.  

Thanks using Creo 10

Hi,

repeat regions are independent one to other. Therefore you cannot create any "connection" between them.

I think the only solution is to create model -or- component parameter and call it in the repeat region cell.

As far as I know the only interaction you can have between tables is the starting/ending item number.  Below is a the link to the PTC section discussing repeat region relations writing.
