Multiple instances of one Windchil part number in the Creo7 drawing BOM table

Hi

In our company we are using numbering in this format: xxxxxxx-FITTED1, xxxxxxx-FITTED2, xxxxxxx-FITTEDn. for various shapes of the same product. Like for example a tape padding or wires. The title of each instance may not be always the same either.

Can anyone advise how to:

1) merge all entities of *-FITTED to one part "xxxxxxx" on the drawing board BOM table?

2) sum up the quantities (each) or cutting lengths (mm)?

Many thanks to all in advance.

You should be able to do that with repeat region relations.

On your naming, how do you know what assembly that FITTED# goes into?

We use a similar scheme like this:

For parts used in different configurations (wire routing, hose routing, etc.) Use the component number first, a dash, the assembly number, a dash, and then a sequence number.
1. Wire base number: 7409878-02
  1. 7409878 is a base wire specification
  2. 7409878-xx, xx designates a sequential number for wire colors
    1. May use vendor color codes for xx
  3. Used in Assembly: 1025643
  4. Routing Sequence: W#, H#, P#
    1. W for wire routings
    2. H for hose routings
    3. P for pipe routings

Final part number: 7409878-04-1025643-W3
1. Third routing of wire 7409878-04 in assembly 1025643

Thanks @BenLoosli for reply.

Not sure I understand your question. In Windchill BOM we are using only product part number. (that drives purchase etc.) In my earlier example I used only 7-x's but as screenshot below showing real number is 1000006132. This is an equivalent of your "7409878" I believe. Then -FITTED_RH & -FITTED_LH CAD models are used only for illustration in one particular assembly. If the same kind of component/product will be ever used again its "Fitted" shape will be different and it will be called by its new unique number for example 1000006132-FITTED_01, Then this new CAD model will be associated in Windchill with its parent 1000006132 as IMAGE like the other two are already.

Important for us is, that on drawing is figuring only parent product number 1000006132 and parent TITLE with quantity 2 in this case. That is my question, how in the drawing in BOM table I change 1000006132-FITTED_RH & FITTED_LH to only 1000006132 with title which is in this case PT1000 TEMPERATURE SENSOR and add instances together so the QTY = 2?
