In the Engineering Release widget provided by the Product Release Engineer role (XEN), there is a new Manufacturable/Procurable view available in R2021x FD07. This will take the Engineering Definition and allow it to reflect the Manufacturable view in order to prepare the Manufacturing Definition.
The Manufacturable/Procurable attribute is set on the Reference object to identify it as BOM-controlled. When the “Show only Manufacturable/Procurable items” is selected, only Engineering items which have the Manufacturable/Procurable attribute set to “true” will be visible in the display. The column Manufacturable/Procurable can be displayed using Attributes Management.
// Engineering Definition:
// New view in preparation for Manufacturing (with "Show only Manufacturable/Procurable items" selected):
When the engineering definition is traversed, all Non-Manufacturable/Procurable items are skipped and hidden from the resulting view. All existing views (Direct/Flattened, Usage/Reference) of XEN are supported for Manufacturable/Procurable view. This new view is created with all existing reference specific authoring operations.
If the Parent item is not Manufacturable and the Child item is Manufacturable, the child node alone will be displayed.
Likewise if a leaf node is not Manufacturable and if its parent is Manufacturable, the parent node will be displayed.
Remember our existing views display:
- Direct = Full Structure – All level items
- Flattened = Only Leafs (or End items) – Leaf level items
- Usage view = View each instances or occurrences – All instances
- Reference view = View only references with their quantities – References with quantities
To further refine views, we can also perform the following:
- Apply a Filter
- Filter with Tagger
- Group by column
- Filter with Model Version or Product Configuration
