Version Windchill 13. Disable the copyover from BOM Notes when the user executes a New Branch action to extend a BOM from one manufacturing site to another. After disabling propertie BOM Notes are still copying to new branch.

Acording to PTC article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS406143?&as=1 there is technical limitation for the BOM Notes update in Windchill 13.

Hi @vitorbarboza

I’d like to recommend to bring more details and context to your initial inquiry. For example:

  • Can you describe the steps you have taken to disable the copyover of BOM Notes when executing a New Branch action?
  • What is the expected behavior after disabling the copyover property for BOM Notes? How should the system handle BOM Notes during the New Branch action?
  • Have you tried any other methods or configurations to prevent BOM Notes from copying over? If so, what were the results or challenges you faced?

Please add screenshot(s) to better understand what you are trying to do in your process.

Version Windchill 13.0.2.4. Disable the copyover from BOM Notes when the user executes a New Branch action to extend a BOM from one manufacturing site to another. After disabling propertie BOM Notes are still copying to new branch.

 

Steps to reproduce: Create a BOM, associate BOM Notes, open in BOM Transformer and execute the action New Branch . The BOM Notes should not be copied over.

 

Adjusts that have been made to try to solve it according to the article CS404913 https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS404913,

After updating the property mentioned in the article, we still encountered issues with the BOM notes being copied:

 

com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.mapsb.newBranch.create.wt.part.WTPart
by removing the following from: F:\ptc\Windchill_13.0\Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\windchill\mpml\xconfs\mpmlink.properties.xconf

<AddToProperty name="com.ptc.windchill.mpml.copyOver.mapsb.newBranch.create.wt.part.WTPart" value="WCTYPE|wt.part.WTPart~MBA|note@WCTYPE|wt.note.NoteHolderNoteLink"/>

upon executing a new branch, the BOM Notes are still being copied from one Branch to another.


How to stop copying over BOM Notes on BOM Transformer in Windchill 13?

 

I opened ticket to PTC, but they replied with article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS406143?&as=1 saying there is technical limitation for the BOM Notes update in Windchill 13.

    Hello,

    I have enabled the logger com.ptc.windchill.associativity.copyover.CopyOverPropertiesParser and reproduce the steps. However there is no one reference to wt.note.NoteHolderNoteLink. See example of the output in attach.
