What is the Difference between New Downstream Branch and New Downstream Part in BOM Transformer?

Best answer by HelesicPetr

Hi @TT_9345405 

The New Downstream branch creates just a new View of WTPart with same number. You can find it in the History Tab.

The New Downstream WTPart creates a new manufacturing WTPart with new Number which is different from the design view. You can not see it in the History Tab. 

 

It means that you can link Design view part Number with different Manufacturing Part Number.

 

Hope this answer your question

    Hello @HelesicPetr

     

    Do you know if this means that the only difference between a New view variant and a New Downstream branch is the creation of the equivalence links?

    Hi @KNielsen 

     

    Yes. That is the difference.

     

    There is another one. 

    Generally you need additional license for BOM Transformation to create Equivalence link.

     

    You can create New View just in the PDMLink. New Downstream Branch can be created in the MPMLink(BOM Transformer(known as MAPSB)).

     

    I hope that I'm right 😄
