Windchill "Find Numbers" and "Line Numbers"

I cannot find any training material regarding "Find Numbers" and "Line Numbers" in Windchill. What they do, How are they different, How to edit them? I searched the Knowledge Base and got nothing remotely close to these topics...

Hello

They are WTPart BOM usage link attributes. You can edit them in the PSB , in uses tab, or in (M)PSE

Line number is unique under a father. It is commonly used to ordered components in a BOM (mandatory for some ERP if need to interface).

Find Number is not unique under a father. It is commonly used to identify and map parts with a drawing's balloons (for examble an exploded view of an assembly with the related WTpart BOM). Find number is not mapped to CAD system OOTB. Only occurences level by the "reference designator" attribute

In some companies, line or find numbers are used in Change Management to identify a "replacement" for downstream use for example in Service Management or Manufacturing Documentation .

You remove part A and replace at the same BOM level and same line number by part B(ie same function is handle by the new part B)

regards
