Create a BOM: manually
You may want to create a BOM before creating a part in Modeling.
Later you can use the
Scan BOM command to compare the existing BOM with the modeled part that's been saved to
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager. If the two don't match, you can reconcile them. See
Reconcile an existing BOM with a model.
To manually create a BOM,
1. To create a new Masterdata item in the workspace, click
Home and then, in the
Edit group, click the arrow next to
Add New.
2. Click Masterdata. Alternatively, > > . The New Masterdata dialog box opens.
3. Fill out the required attributes for the Masterdata.
4. Click OK.
5. To add additional Masterdata items, click
Structure and then, in the
BOM group, click
BOM Editor. Alternatively, right-click the masterdata and, in the shortcut menu, click > .
6. Click the arrow next to
Add and click
New Masterdata or
Existing Masterdata.
7. Fill out the required attributes for the Masterdata.
8. Edit the BOM information in the BOM Editor. For example, edit the amount in Spare Qty.
Once the BOM is complete, you can
Generate a BOM report and
Send a BOM to another program such as HTML or Excel.
