I am using Windchill MPMLink Release 12.1 and Datecode with CPS 12.1.0.2

Reconciliation assistance didnt give any result but only showed "?" for quantities differences between EBOM and MBOM when tested with multiple equivalence links

    Adding more details to my post : I have created multiple equivalence links for a design Part for example created 2 MBOM Parts for 1 EBOM Part to have 1 in BLUE color and 2nd in WHITE color. I have modified the quantities such that in EBOM its 3 for this component and in MBOM for BLUE its 1 and for WHITE its 1 qty hence I am expecting an error that I have not consumed all the qty in my MBOM yet. How can I check that in the BOM transformer. When I tried comparing I get to see some "?" instead of actual values in place of qty

    Hi @RB_10278177 

    The system can not recognize what is what.

     

    You should use show occurrences and crate Equivalence usage link

    That system needs to know that 3 quantity are split to blue and white for example  1 : 2

    Hello PetrH,

     

    Thank you very much for your response!

     

    I tried creating the links again this time by enabling the occurrences and then copy/pasting some of them as "New Part". But I still got the same issue. (I am not sure whether I did something wrong here)

    Also, in this case the end customer is NOT using Occurrences : that is why in most or almost all the use cases they will not have occurrences created but they can definitely have multiple qty for components which they would like to split in the MBOM as per color requirements and want to see the comparison in terms of between EBOM and MBOM.
