Question

The availability of the "Raw Material" category in the Link Category field in BOM transfer window

In the BOM Transfer window, under "Made from Part Usage Link", only the Semi-Finished and Mounting categories are available in the Link Category field.  The Raw Material category is not displayed as an available option.  Could you please confirm whether it is possible to enable or use the Raw Material category?

You can update the SemiFinishedLinkTypeRB.rbinfo file to add any categories that you want/need. 

its located here \Windchill\src\wt\mpm\
(*disclaimer* it's important to understand the implications of doing this. PTC would have had a very good reason to not add it there by default)

Actually customizing modeled enumerations is now done in the Type and Attribute Manager:
