Working with Overrides
Override Icon
After you create an override, click
Save and Check In. When you return to the
Edit BOM page at any time, the system displays the overrides existing icon
in the
Expand column.
Clicking the overrides existing icon displays a list of the current overrides on that component. Selecting an override name from the list of current overrides expands that variation or variation combination for the component.
Appearance of Overrides
PTC FlexPLM facilitates distinguishing information in the BOM that is inherited from the top level, and information that has been overridden.
• Information that is inherited is displayed in unformatted black text.
• Information that is overridden is displayed in bold, italicized, green text.
Changing Materials, Suppliers, and Colors
To override a material, supplier, or color, you must first remove the current value. Press CTRL and left-click the mouse to clear the contents of the cell in which you want to create an override.
| You must clear your materials clipboard and your color clipboard before you can clear the contents of a cell. If you do not, the contents of the materials clipboard are pasted into any cell in the Material column, and the contents of the color clipboard are pasted into any cell in a Colorway column. |
Once the contents of the cell have been cleared, click the cell in the Material column for the variation row you want to override to update the material or the supplier. Click the cell in the Color or individual colorway column for the variation row you want to override to update the colorway.
