PartsLink: Automatic Classification Propagation (Design to Manufacturing/Service)

I am using Windchill MPMLink Release 13.0 and Datecode with CPS 13.0.2.3

Hello,
We are using PartsLink and would like to know if there is a way to automatically propagate classification attributes from a design view to manufacturing and service views.
Ideally, when an attribute of an item in the design view is modified (for example, the color changes to red), we would like this attribute to be automatically updated in the service and manufacturing views.
Changes to attributes in the design view currently generate a significant amount of obsolescence, which is only visible through the BOM transformer or a specific report.
In our company, service and manufacturing views are used to manage different structures, but we do not manage attribute differences.
Thank you for your help.

There is not automatic update ,when an ebom is iterated, the related MBPMs get outdated and and Update is needed to do the propagation .

The MBOM may be checkout out to another user and auto propagating may fail in this case.

You may implement a custom listener to listen for Update Parts events and then do the propagating as per the your logic.

Hi,

Why do you want to propagate Design Classification into a Manufacturing View? Is there a use case which led to this approach?

Thanks

Hi,

Perhaps "propagate" wasn't the most precise word. Let me clarify:

First, I have a design part with a classification.

Then, I create a manufacturing view, which inherits this classification.

What I want is for the design classification and the manufacturing classification to remain synchronized throughout their lifecycle.

If there is a modification to the design classification, I would like the manufacturing classification to be automatically updated.

Currently, as we frequently make changes to the design classification, this results in a large number of obsoleted manufacturing classifications.

Hello Zanet,

For this the customization as described by Fadel is the correct approach.
