Question

Operating when accidentally created manufacturing view part/assembly

Hi,

Asking for references how have you operated in the following situation.

Version I use is 12.0.2

 

In BOM-transformer, MPMlink:

If parts is created by mistake to manufacturing view that should be in design. (Accidentally click duplicate with propagating, when I should just allocate the design as design to manufacturing side) 

 

What is the back up plan?

Is it possible to just remove the manufacturing views of those parts if you detect it immediately? Will the connection link between design - manufacturing view even allow it (admin rights). 

 

This is important because if manufacturing view have been created, it will always use it instead of design, and this is not what I want by accidentally created components.

 

Thanks in Advance.

You can use reassign view to fix:

Yes, I know I can reassign the lifecycle state but It will not solve what I'm looking for. The parts would will still be in system. Please ask if my explanation wasn't clear enough.

Hi @VVII 

Reassign view is not reassign life cyccel.

 

If the WTPart was created by mistake as a manufacturing, you can change the view from MFG to design. 

If the WTPart was created in the BOM Transformer by mistake, you can delete the Manufacturing version.

Hi, edited a bit my original post. 

 

But I got a idea that solves my problem in most cases. I tested that I can remove manufacturing view part right after it is created. It does not raise an error that there is an equivalent link between the design view. This is Good thing for me. 

 

My main concern was that someone click in MBOM transformer the child option " duplicate with propagating " and it would create many unnecessary manufacturing view objects to my system, I came up with idea that why not remove the default option from the menu, because I'm not planning to use it. I always use do not duplicate or duplicate without propagating. 

How do I remove this default button?

Hi,

You can play around ACL to avoid this in first place.

If  user personas in your company has Design Engineer and Mfg Engineer separately to different persons, then ACL will do the trick for you to avoid the issue.

For Design Engineer, do not Grant access to "Create New Version".

For Mfg Engineer, Grant this access.

Not sure if this approach helps you, just thinking out loud here!

 

Cheers

Hari

Hi @Hari_Vara 

It does not help if the user who is responsible for creating the MFG version does a mistake.
