How to add part specific information at the upper level assembly
We are performing use case testing as part of our upgrade to Windchill 12. We have a group of PC hardware and software engineers who need to perform the following activities.
We have a WTpart BOM structured like the following;
BLD-PROG-123
Qty 1 ea, 232-281-2-16000 FLASH DRIVE
Qty 2 ea, 128-1393-2 FLASH DRIVE LABEL
Qty 1, ea, 218-229-2 PROGRAM KEY, RED
Qty 1, ea, 112-181-2 SNAP RING
This structure represents the parts to 'use' to program the flash drives. Under each part there are programming and other 'work instructions' that are performed in the context of the upper level assembly build. What the shop sees in the end is;
BLD-PROG-123
Qty 1 ea, 232-281-2-16000 FLASH DRIVE
PROGRAM FLASH DRIVE WITH 123XYZ FIRMWARE
Qty 2 ea, 128-1393-2 FLASH DRIVE LABEL
PRINTED LABEL TO READ 'COMPANY NAME, FIRMWARE VERSION'
Qty 1, ea, 218-229-2 PROGRAM KEY, RED
Qty 1, ea, 112-181-2 SNAP RING
ATTACH SNAP RING TO FLASH DRIVE AND BOX FOR SHIPPING
In our current engineering system the user is able to add additional text under each specific part in the BOM display. How would we accomplish something similar in Windchill? Seems all I can really do is edit the top level WTpart's part description and then make references to the parts at the lower levels.
