Question

As stored BOM configuration in Windchill PDM 12.1

Version: Windchill 12.1

 

Use Case: I would like to seek for clarification the way as-stored BOM filter works in Windchill


Description:

I would like to seek for clarification the way as-stored BOM filter works in Windchill. For example, for the example part number attached, there are two available versions A.87 & A,88

When we apply as stored filter on A.87 which shows different icons view for components without revision giving impression that there is no as-stored BOM. 

 

Using the default filter, it shows BOM anyway which it might be pulling from next revision A.88 which has both as stored and latest rev BOM. 

As I am involved in migration validation from business end, I need to understand how this as stored filter works and how as stored boms are created and stored in windchill and what's the configuration behind it.

 

Any support is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @Vignesh_AJ_77,

 

The following article will help you understand the As-Stored Configuration.

Thank you for the response and the link. I had gone through the article. So, could the below lines match with the problem I reported? That as-stored filter shows frozen kind of components. 

  • Important
    • As Stored only considers data in the workspace at the time of check in. For example, if you are checking in an assembly which has 10 components and only 5 of those components are present in the workspace, then your As Stored configuration contains only those 5 parts. The other 5 parts are retrieved according to Latest configuration.
