Importing sBOM XML Files
The elements in the XML file represent parts and assemblies in the sBOM and their hierarchical structure. They can include attributes that link them to parts in the imported eBOM. Missing references to eBOM items can occur in either of the following instances:
• Updating an imported PVZ file (or any other supported 3D format).
◦ Indication—sBOM tree nodes are marked with red crosses.
◦ Cause
▪ sBOM instances that are not referenced to a geometry, resulting from removing a Geometry of the PVZ file in Creo View.
▪ Editing the source file of an external supported format imported.
◦ Solution—Structure Edit mode opens so that you can resolve the conflict.
• Importing a PVZ file using a sBOM XML (companion file).
◦ Indication—A message appears.
◦ Cause
▪ Missing Geometry of the PVZ file in Creo View.
▪ Using an erroneous XML companion.
◦ Solution—Structure Edit mode opens so that you can resolve the conflict.
