MAPSB Equivalence Link to Self (when self view was reassigned)
MAPSB helped needed.
How we intend to use MAPSB. We have an eBOM in As Designed view.
We have common Standard headwear and COTS items that are only in mBOM view of Staged.
When transforming an eBOM for manufacturing, we will duplicate and propagate the entire assembly. COTS and Standard Staged view will be copied over to the mBOM.
eBOM As Designed parts will have a Staged equivalent created.
Before we started using mBOM and MAPSB we used a "Modeled" view for eBOM now that PTC has fixed the issue with CAD changes overwriting BOM changes we had no reason to maintain a engineering Modeled view and a BOM manger view of As Designed so converted all single view Modeled parts to As Designed.
In MAPSB we see that a view (As Designed) in the Upstream has a downstream equivalent Objects.
Some parts show an identity of part # (As Designed) with latest downstream of part # (As Designed) with upstream of Modeled.
If we look at that part it only has As Designed (looking at History)
In MAPSB we also see part # (As Designed) with downstream of part # (Staged) with upstream of As Designed.
Question.
Is that first equivalent a ghost of when we had a Modeled view?
Is there a way to remove that link? I do not see an option.
Is there a way to update the downstream to show the Staged view. No matter what I do it always shows the As Designed. Perhaps MAPSB is having problems with equivalent to self?
