Generate a Downstream Structure Based on the Part Occurrence Attribute

[awijkmark]

We associate and restructure an engineering BOM into a manufacturing BOM "template".

The manufacturing BOM "template" reflects the shop floor workstations.

In Windchill 12.1.0.0 BOM transformer function Generate a Downstream Structure ( GDS ) supports Part Usage Attribute, see help center:
https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r12.1.0.0/en/#page/Windchill_Help_Center/mpmlink/ExpMPM_GDS_UseCase...

We need the very same function based on Part Occurrence Attribute.

We have engineering BOM with 30-40 000 occurrences and do this by hand and maintain over time is today a night mare, a lot of waste time for our "BOM-transformers".
