Can you spot an issue with my Config Spec?

Version: Windchill 13.1

Use Case: I'm creating downstream branches for a Design BOM. I'd like to see them filtered for a correct alternate BOM number.

Description:

Hello,

I created a Design BOM, and then created downstream branches for a few nodes. However, the Structure browser doesn't behave the way I would expect -- it seems to disregard my Alternate BOM Number selection, and picks latest Manufacturing instead:

I wish I could get the same BOM, but with Design view for the bottom two parts.

I'm getting the same issue when querying it via WRS, both v3/BomTransformation/XBOMParts('...')/PTC.BomTransformation.GetManufacturingBOM and v7/ProdMgmt/Parts('...')/PTC.ProdMgmt.GetPartStructure with this nav. spec:

{
    "ApplicableType": "PTC.ProdMgmt.Part",
    "ApplyToTopLevelObject": true,
    "ConfigSpecs": [{
        "@odata.type": "#PTC.NavCriteria.WTPartStandardConfigSpec",
        "WorkingIncluded": true,
        "View": "Manufacturing",
        "Variation2": {
            "Value": "002",
            "Display": "002",
        },
    }, {
        "@odata.type": "#PTC.NavCriteria.WTPartStandardConfigSpec",
        "WorkingIncluded": true,
        "View": "Design",
    }],
    "HideUnresolvedDependents": false,
    "UseDefaultForUnresolved": false,
}

I have very limited experience with MPMLink and will appreciate your insights.

Thanks,

Constantine

Would you take a look at https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS176092 and check if  it is same usecase

Thanks Fede, this indeed seems to be the same or very similar issue. I wonder if there’s a way to achieve what I’m after — see Manufacturing 002 only, no 002, and Design for all the rest. Any suggestions will do — Windchill UI, REST APIs, customization…

You see, we’d like to assign those different BOM alternates to different suppliers, and it won’t make sense for them to see a “mixed supplier” BOM.
